You absolutely can have multiple accounts per website. Just add an additional entry to the vault using the same url.

I can't really comment on the domain, but I did notice that you've called out Excel multiple times. I'm not sure if there are any concerns there but I would at least suggest capitalizing it where you use it. Might be even better to just use "spreadsheets" instead.

Kinesis has an accessory[1] for their Freestyle keyboard that does just this.

> Nothing at all against OCaml, but it puzzles me where these HN micro-fads come from. There have inexplicably been a surge in OCaml posts on the front page over the past week.

Facebook just released a static type checker for javascript last week that happens to be written in OCaml. This release announcement was pretty well received here on HN[1]. After reading the commentary here and looking at Flow I've found myself reading more about OCaml. It wouldn't surprise me that others did the same and decided to share interesting articles they found.

I imagine the bubbles of popularity you mention are regularly kicked off by a similar event. When an article or piece of new software gets popular it follows that related material would also see a surge in activity.

Re:A namespace implementation for Emacs Lisp on Monday November 24, 2014 @09:18AM (#8652427)
For what it's worth, this macro doesn't cause the indentation issue due to how it's defined[1]. It does, however, leave the extra sexp around your package.

From my experimentation the package worked quite well for the most part but I ended up not using it in the end.

Pretty sure the intention here was to say that the author uses "$1" in some places and "1$" in others. I'd verify this, but I can't get to the site.

It can do this if you tell it do. The following tells git to wait 10 tenths of a second before executing the corrected command, giving you time to cancel if it is incorrect.

    git config --global help.autocorrect 10
I really wanted to do this exact thing before I started using Jekyll, kudos to you for accomplishing it.

I think the only thing that I might have done differently would have been to allow myself to use Perl since it is a dependency of git anyway.

Re:Improved searching with The Silver Searcher on Wednesday February 27, 2013 @01:41PM (#5294012)
The chemical symbol for silver is Ag. It's a stretch, but it's short so I'm for it.
