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…

I got more views, comments, and backlash on Reddit than on HN for my project. The HN community is analytical; they will always find a problem with your solution--sometimes people will offer answers a…

LMAO. I had to do a double take and make sure the URL was correct and then I realized what was going on. Great work, you shot me right back to 1997.

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…

The product looks amazing. Congrats to Ben, Steven, Nate, Kevin and the rest of the team working on this. Great job.

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 would love to see you and Linux Torvalds have a discussion :)

JIRA is sweet if you have a JIRA engineer to set the system up. The last implementation of JIRA I used was broken beyond belief. As a developer, id rather user something simple like Asana or Do.

Great article. I wish you would have written this a year ago when I needed this info. I had to learn all of this stuff the hard way. I'm definitely going to use this as a first resource to give to …

+1 for ⇧⌘N. I do it for them.

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…

That would look amazing with iCEnhancer on it.

Have you tried Bitbucket? While it lacks a lot of the social integration, it has the benefit of giving you 5 free private repositories.

Thanks for filling me in. I was walking down Market Street yesterday and about 100 people were protesting with signs. I couldn't understand what they were saying nor could I read their signs as most…

Ah perfect :).

My prayers go out to the family and his colleagues. I was just watching the Kickstarter video about Oculus yesterday.

That is pretty fascinating. It seems like Facebook, who I use because this was their early marketing strategy, is teaching us to ignore data that has peoples faces associated with it. I wonder if the…

I feel like some of the benefits of having cloud services is that I don't have to maintain this type of platform. This does look like an amazing service nonetheless. I'm definitely impressed by the e…

I noticed that as well. He basically answered nothing even though they were taking a pretty hostile stance towards Tim.

This looks awesome and I love that it's 100% css. You're also helping Yahoo! look cool from a dev side.

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…

That was my initial thought as soon as I read the headline. This seems like he got Forestalled.

This is a great post. I just wrote about a project I worked on in February[1]. When I first built the website, it wasn't optimized and now I realize that I greatly over estimated how many resources …
