How certain are you guys that it wasn't the sheer levels of traffic due to the ongoing Boston situation?

That is unfortunately the problem though. If this is true, they have already handled it terribly as it has already been 2 weeks since the attack.

Anyone got any background on the backend tech involved?

Charlie Brooker's latest 'Black Mirror' episode touches on a similar subject in a dramatised fashion and it's quite an interesting/thoughtful watch. UK users can catch it on 4OD, it's called 'Be Right Back'.

Interesting. Can I ask where you read that or how you came to that conclusion?

Because we're a bunch of programmers that like creating our own solutions to things; it's rewarding in more ways than saving time and money.

Indeed, and what are you going to do with the name going forward given that 'git' means something completely different to the non-technical minded?

If there's one feature a todo list shouldn't have, it's the ability for others to add things to it. That already exists and it's called email.

10 Python one-liners to piss off your colleagues by ignoring the Zen.
Seriously though, some of these are ridiculously unreadable so think twice before using any for anything more than theory.
Re:Hey Paydirt: Your Site Works Just Fine In IE

Yes, but the site working provides absolutely no reason to actively block it. Display an 'upgrade your browser' message fine, but actively block a certain browser based on user agent string? Ridiculous.

I don't know if any you remember, but this is why Guido van Rossum quit using Twitter. The official twitter client for Android uploads your entire contact book without showing more than a notification stating 'find your friends' or similar; you click this notification and by that time it's already too late. More on that here:

It's not misleading; it says 'shutters' not 'shut'. As in how you'd close a shop overnight by pulling the shutters down..
