Re:2 out of 3 GitHub forks are completely empty on Saturday April 09, 2011 @03:24PM (#2427878)
I usually clone the original repository. And after I make my changes, then I fork it and push to it. Most of the times there is no point to fork it before making changes.

I started going to gym 3 years ago. My weight was 55kg (122lbs) and height was 182cm (~6ft). Very underweight. I knew nothing about training. So I paid for a personal trainer. He made me program where almost all exercises were on the machines. At least he put squat and bench press there too. I trained when I had time, 2-4 times a week.

Last summer I did some arm wrestling with my friend. I lost. I thought what's wrong. I weighed less than my friend, but he didn't do any weight training. So I started looking how to get more strength.

I started doing core strength (Squat, bench press, dead lift, press, power clean, pull-ups). No more machines, biceps curls, calf raises, wrist curls, etc. Also, I started eating much more. With last 2 months I've gained 4kg (8-9lbs). My squat is currently 102.5kg (226lbs), that is ~1.4x of my body weight. I've gained more strength and weight with 2 months than I usually did in a year. And what's most important, now I beat my friend :).

"zdd and ^Rz are awesome. I didn't know that before. I always thought that there must be something like that, but never actually searched about it.

Great screencast.

Ask HN: Where do you upload your files?

I've been using min.us to share images. Really cool drag & drop system with no registration. Is there something similar for other files too?I don't mind if these files are deleted in a day/week/month. I basically want something where I can upload bunch of files quickly and give a link to a friend.

I can't stand total silence. There must be some music, people or I'll go crazy.

"Share: Question" doesn't do anything (ajax 404).
