I'm a big fan of Asciidoc. It's nice to have the option of advanced features, while still dealing in text.

The clips are edited together, though. That was my first thought when watching the video. There are a lot of cuts. I get that it might just be for time, to show only the most relevant stuff. But it may also be to make it look worse than it is. Without the full conversation, we can't know.

I think that's a big part of what needs to happen. Make these changes at the state and local level, and eventually we might see some diversity at those levels. Then we'll be able to have a conversation on the national level. Like the original comment here says, Democrats and Republicans have no incentive to push for this because they benefit from the First-Past-the-Post voting we currently have.

I have Flux on a 1 hour shift, so I don't notice the colors changing as it happens, but it absolutely makes a huge difference. Disabling it at 10pm after a few hours of 'flux-ed' viewing feels like staring directly into the sun.

I was thinking about this the other day. In the pre-social network days, it was obnoxious to blast your political opinions out to your friends and family. You had to create or forward an email, and very few people did. Mostly grandparents. Now it seems that everyone can and will share their political views through a social network. Is it just that it's easier, or is there something else about the platform that invites that type of sharing?

Did I just win? 10 years ago

He had him post the challenge to his website. The text of the challenge contains the string "BackdoorPoCTwitter". By including the challenge in his website, he included the string in a software project (the code for his website). This won the challenge for @Sc00bzT, who was the one who told him to make the change to his website.

They also want to use the name because their project directly comes from Markdown. And is a fully fleshed-out spec for Markdown that does not currently exist. And because it makes their project easily recognizable for what it is: a standard for Gruber's Markdown.

They may very well end up changing the name, but that doesn't change the fact that this project is basically Markdown++.

I think this post missed the mark by claiming that Hakyll blogs aren't updated because it's Hakyll, and therefore hard. I think the type of person who will set up a Hakyll blog just may not be the kind of person who will blog frequently. I have set up a Jekyll blog, Wordpress, Ghost, and now I'm using Octopress. Each time I set up a new blog I think "Ya, this new platform is great. It will be exactly what I need to blog regularly." Then a month later I still haven't posted anything. I enjoy blogging with Jekyll. I like writing my posts in Markdown, and I have no problem with the "git commit, push cycle." I just don't blog that often, and so far no platform I have found has changed that fact.
