I'm not in the market for a new home right now but I would absolutely use this in a future search. As it is now, it helped me confirm that my house is in a great location for everything I do regularly.

It did seem to think that the closest "Bar" to me was a 19 minute drive, when in reality there are several within a 2 minute walk, however.

Take with a grain of salt obviously, but there was a Reddit post [1] from someone claiming to have worked there at the time and that this was the entire motivation behind it.

So to be clear, your car almost drove itself into oncoming traffic with your child in it and your first instinct was "Hey, maybe give it two more tries"?

Still no recommended daily allowance for sugar, huh?

If I'm not mistaken, requiring the "date" stdlib wasn't required until Ruby 1.9, so that might account for its low spot on the list. I'm not sure but the same might be true for "time".

Hadn't even heard of the rug incident until I read about it in this thread, but I'm pretty sure their idea of meritocracy here only applied to GitHub the company, not GitHub the website, and came out of their culture of "Managers and chain-of-command? Not here. You can work on whatever you want at any time and at any location, as long as good work comes out of it."

Any particular reason you're assuming this one is terribly programmed and horribly insecure? Other than past experience, I guess.

I love how you've solved the "constant scrolling preventing me from clicking that damn link that keeps flying by" problem. Really well done.

Plus there's this gem [1] about a "kill switch" that disables every single install of the software.

"not only that. there is an emergency kill switch. if you release the patch i will pull the switch and no one can use the software. your exploit will not work if i do that. the plugin will become useless until i turn it back on."

Hover the plugin and a "Launch" button shows up. Might not be compatible with touch devices.

Oof, look at this Rails controller code from the video in their blog post: http://cl.ly/image/2j1O2q152r0c

What a mess that code base must be.

It's not really "broken", Vimium is just capturing the input. Press 'i' to switch to input mode and the keys behave as expected.

As much as I type git, I just alias it to 'g' and be done with it.

Yep, definitely had one of those "Damn, wish I'd thought of that." moments.

I built HubStar: http://hubstar.me/

The missing "Star" feature for GitHub repositories.

If this weren't on a .gov site I'd think this was satire. As it is, it's just scary and sad.

I just launched a site and browser extension combination that does exactly that. I wrote a Show HN post about it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3649551

"Sign up on Code Year to get new interactive programming lesson" is missing an 'a' before "new".

That's when I did it too. Otherwise I would have done it over this. Seems like an all-around shitty company.

Just to follow up, here's the archived version of the very start of the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/notch/b/302823358

Historically, he's posted a timelapse version on YouTube, but you can't really see anything specific he's doing.

justin.tv, and by extension TwitchTV, which he's using to stream, archives everything, so you should be able to view it from this same link once he's done.

Probably not, but one scenario which might make a difference is if the language used is disclosed to users. Fans of that language might hold up that site as an example of "See what this language can do?!", which might attract other fans of the language to the site who might otherwise not visit. See Twitter in the early days as an example (both good and bad) of Ruby/Rails, which brought a technical crowd to the site, who are great early adopters.

If I had the ability to downvote, "M$" would be an automatic downvote regardless of the rest of the content.

When I was first, first starting this transition, http://railsforphp.com/reference/ was helpful for the "What's Ruby's equivalent of this PHP method?"-type questions, because I was learning Ruby at the same time.
