You could achieve something like that using https://github.com/defunkt/dotjs
Can't wait to see it!
Re:Using checklists for code review on Wednesday April 24, 2013 @09:49PM (#5605320)
Lists in general are great for organizing thoughts. Being able to check items off the list helps focus thoughts and offload the overhead of keeping track of progress to something better suited to the task.

If you want to do multiple renames in one commit then the command line is likely the best way.

We design and build with Enterprise in mind. This particular feature has its own Enterprise-specific design considerations and challenges.

The best answer is: when it's ready, but not before.

There is no space allotment for users. Abuse, however, isn't tolerated.

Re:Don't like iOS6's (lack of) transit directions? You need this. on Thursday September 20, 2012 @01:34PM (#4549645)
Apple won't be fixing this. Their approach is to recommend transit apps depending on your location instead.

Collaborating with colleagues is a very social endeavor.
A Rails consultancy (I used to work for) in Atlanta called Highgroove also implements ROWE, going so far as to incorporate it into the way they deliver to the customer. It was a great way to work and operate as a business.

Like the idea.

I often take a couple of shots of the same thing just to experiment; probably a symptom of growing up shooting digital. I guess you're just banking on randomness preventing dupes from showing too often or manually removing them.

Sounds like you should be using Chef or Puppet to manage these kinds of dependencies.

I love how easy it is to use conflicting versions of packages. Haven't needed it in practice, yet, but I'm sure it'll only be time.

I do plan to automate looking up the DOM ID. Just wanted to share it early.

Bastard beat me to it!

Friend of mine was graphing out all of the connections (using Graphviz) and found some interesting patterns. Ultimately you can say the same thing for "Science", "Knowledge", and even "Mathematics".

Can't... ;)
I know of at least one change that isn't a new product for consumers but isn't a new change to the store displays either. Nor a giveaway. Might be what this is.

Oh, and thanks again for patching the JSONP middleware.

Thanks for sharing this tricky bit of knowledge, Magnus. Glad you're helping raise awareness on this further :)

Quote from the AWS support rep: "I can confirm that ELB has been affected by the EBS issue despite the lack of messaging on the AWS Dashboard".
Re:Amazon Web Services are down on Thursday April 21, 2011 @02:26PM (#2471697)
We have an identical load balancer to one that is causing problems so we're lucky enough to reroute traffic through that one instead to get to the same boxes. (The boxes serve two different APIs through two different DNS CNAMEs so we split the ELBs for future and sanity). In this case, it's helped us out. Alternatively, we would've just routed all traffic to our west coast ELBs.
Re:Amazon Web Services are down on Thursday April 21, 2011 @12:17PM (#2471186)
Why is ELB not mentioned at all on the Service Health Dashboard?

We're experiencing problems with two of our ELBs, one indicating instance health as out of service, reporting "a transient error occurred". Another, new LB (what we hoped would replace the first problematic LB), reports: "instance registration is still in progress".

A support issue with Amazon indicated that it was related to the ongoing issues and to monitor the Service Health Dashboard. But, as I mentioned before, ELB isn't mentioned at all.
