I'd like to give jj another go but I found the "all files must be tracked/committed" approach to really break my workflow. I have a lot of temporary uncommitted files, which are not ignored or excluded. Some may eventually be committed but most won't. Being then forced to commit these (but only some due to file size) just gets in the way and impedes things like cross branch debugging

A checkout is a working space after all, why can't it be (temporarily) dirty whilst you work?

Been using/abusing wezterm for years, my scrollback is set to 1000000 and text selection has never been a problem... copy mode however does make it even easier

For the oauth login it requires the following permissions: View basic information about your account, Manage your data in Google Reader, View your email address Manage your contacts, View and manage your Google Contacts, Perform these operations when I'm not using the application

Why would it want access to view AND MANAGE my contacts? This seems a bit odd.

Many sites also use memcache to cache page fragments that will be sent verbatim to clients with the rest of the webpage.

As Marco demonstrated in his slides one can easily inject into caches and if one can change the values of keys related to page fragments then it is a major security risk.

Since the Guidelines/FAQ has nothing on this specifically and it might be useful to one(Maybe more) HN readers I believe you should post a "We are hiring" thread.

Especially if no one gives any good reasons why not to in this thread.

I might be missing something here, but isn't David Ulevitch affiliated with OpenDNS which should be more than capable of running everydns? Its maybe not their primary function, but its pretty close.

M$ is not big on recursive acronyms so I doubt they really explored the possibilities.

Or maybe they are just starting.

Being a python programmer I am a bit worried that one (In this case) needs to use java to overcome a scaling problem. From my experiences with twisted, which is on much smaller scale than the article, I have never found twisted to be anykind of bottleneck.

It may be that since twisted(python) can only use one cpu effectively per interpreter(GIT et al) that it got left behind java which can easily use multiple CPUs for threads.

A slightly different architecture might be required then where multiple python processes are used.

It seem like the author does not differentiate between compiled (To machine code) and (To intermediate/byte code). Does that mean the pyc(114 bytes on my machine) generated by python for 'print "Hello world"' can be compared to the others?

It is still interesting though.

As I understand the article it suggests that the free side of freemium is feature full enough for almost all users leaving very few users willing to pay. Isn't this then just a case of balancing the features in the free and pay versions so that a larger chunk of users would need a entry level pay version for doing anything beyond the basics?

I totally agree that posts have lately strayed far from the original idea(as I understand) of this site.

Last week I was actually tempted to remove it from my RSS reader due to the flood of political and other news stories totally unrelated to startups/programming/hacking/etc.

We don't need another reddit/digg/...
