The One Thing Programmers and Musicians Have In Common

Because the Oculus headset works on Steam games, but the Vive doesn't out of the box work with Oculus Home. You can make it work, but it's not quite official.

Works with seated SteamVR experiences, but not room scale ones, which I think is a more compelling experience.

You can add emails to your GPG key. I added my normal committer email to my keybase key and added the key to GitHub as well and all is working well!

I've heard it used often in conjunction with benefits given to minorities. For example, a university offering a scholarship for African Americans is sometimes criticized for being reverse racist.

Showing diffs for binary assets doesn't need to include things like "brightness 1%". GitHub currently supports image diffs, they're simply displayed side by side, or on top of each other.

No bueno! Any specific PDF file? We only render a small number of pages by default to ensure browsers can handle it :)

That should definitely not happen. Does that consistently happen when you click that link?

PDF Viewing 11 years ago

Sorry about that. I've updated it with a slowed down version :)

I used Quicktime to do a screen recording before taking that to GifBrewery to make the gif.

The Best Bike Lock 12 years ago

This is an impressive pain in the ass. I race too and the only lock its ever trusted behind is a deadbolt. I bought a very nice mid 80s road bike for my commuter because its about as light as an entry level race bike but looks like nothing special.

You were able to hail a cab in the street? Lucky you. I've had cabbies refuse to take me to where I want to go. I've called cab companies, told them where I am, and they refuse to come pick me up. I've seen a cab turn down an elderly couple want to go across town because his "meter was broken", but 2 minutes later take a fare that just went a couple blocks. And I'm a white male. Minorities have an even harder problem getting cabs.

Depending on where you live, cabs are not always something that is just as easy or reliable as Uber/Lyft/Sidecar/etc. When I'm unable to get home for whatever reason, I need a service I can rely on.

My favorite feature of SMS authentication is when I get locked out of accounts because I'm traveling and using a different SIM.

You end up with less developers having to pull & merge/rebase if you have things in separate repos.

Individual libraries/dependencies get worked on by themselves, with an API that other applications use. Then the other apps just bump a version number and get newer code.

The bar is context sensitive. Search from your newsfeed, and it searches all of GitHub. If you're looking at a repo, you by default search that repo.

A lot of folks from the GIS community. As mentioned in the blog post, people will already storing this data on GitHub, now it's simply presented in a nicer fashion :)

And as you mentioned, sometimes just providing the tools empowers the community to do to do amazing things.
