My site http://gitignore.io was down and I just pinged my CDN and my domain host to see what the problem was. Everything seems to be back up and running now. Does anyone know what happen…

You're not alone. I don't understand the benefit either and the examples confuse me even more. The JSFiddle example[1] brings me back to the days of tightly coupled Views and Controllers which I've s…

I have a buddy that works at Garmin and from what I understand, GPS receivers are a huge battery drain and they are also pretty big/heavy in relation to other sensors. If you look at GPS running watc…

Yeah, but they don't offer free private repos. The only reason I use GitHub now is to host my open source projects. My company and personal stuff is on BitBucket.

I grew up all over the world so the value that I get out of Facebook now is from being able to stay in communication with my friends from other countries. I feel like the utility of Facebook has chan…

I was actually going to write something like this, but then I realized that I'm not a designer and I have no idea what I'm talking about. Thanks for putting this together; I know a lot of people disl…
