Downloads is a valid missing (or rather removed) feature, but as others have pointed out, this feature at core is not very different from rebase.

Bangalore - Fullstack software engineers @promptcloud

It should be titled " Amazon, Apple and the beauty of high volumes"

This looks good. For cpu and memory checks I find htop to be more lightweight and functionality wise is pretty good too. It doesn't show disk stats though, for which something like atop should be used.

gives pretty intuitive visual explanation of Bayes theorem .

It depends upon the hardware you have. But if you have a decent machine say EC2 small instances or something like http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_vserver/vq19 it should not be an issue. We use similar setup for promptcloud and that machine has numerous other things running too, there is no noticeable load.

>I'm a bit stumped on toggling comments, though. Any ideas?

    " comentify/uncommentify a line or a visual block"
     function! Komment()
     if getline(".") =~ '^[ \t]*#'
             let hls=@/
             s/^\([ \t]*\)#\(.*\)$/\1\2
             let @/=hls
         else
             let hls=@/
             s/^\([ \t]*\)\(.*\)$/\1#\2
             let @/=hls
         endif
     endfunction
     :vnoremap // :call Komment()<CR>
     :nnoremap // :call Komment()<CR>

    If you want to use c style comment : 
    function! Komment()
         if getline(".") =~ '^[ \t]*\/\*'
             let hls=@/
             s/^\(\s*\)\/\*\(.*\)\*\/\(\s*\)$/\1\2\3/
             let @/=hls
         else
             let hls=@/
             s/[ \t]*$//
             s/^\(\s*\)\(.*\)\(\s*\)$/\1\/\* \2 \*\//
             let @/=hls
         endif
     endfunction
     :vnoremap <silent> // :call Komment()<CR>
     :nnoremap  <silent> // :call Komment()<CR>

Darcs is good for personal use, but I moved away primarily because of the exponential merge problem. I think darcs2 takes care of it in most of the cases but NOT always. That is a big question mark for production repository. Darcs is easy to get started with though - to anybody interested I recommend this link - http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/darcs.html .

On the other hand if you want to move from darcs to git , use the following - https://github.com/purcell/darcs-to-git

Also SQS should accept utf-8 in message body rather than a restricted set of characters.
