Agreed. Would be nice to know if it's trending for a good or a bad reason. Links back to HN and Reddit would help with that.

Sounds similar to what happened just recently at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh's rare books collection: http://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2018/07/20/Two...

Can't answer about copy/paste an NeoVim, but I just switched from vim -> neovim this week, and do feel it's a bit snappier. I also switched from syntastic to ALE for syntax checking and that made a huge difference as well.

One of the Pittsburgh papers just ran an excellent, in-depth article about something very similar, happening in one particular neighborhood of the city: https://newsinteractive.post-gazette.com/riding-od-road/

I was going to mention this same presentation, but you beat me to it. He does a wonderful job with the code, as well and keeping the material interesting, and he has a good sense of humor. I'm looking forward to the videos he's wo

Although it does seem to be very slow to respond, https://voat.co/ seemed to have stepped in as a replacement at the last big upheaval. They seem to constantly have troubles staying up though.

I did not, and assumed it was the actual SE site. My bad.

Well, it looks like capistrano itself is just fine, but someone took to adding spam on their Github wiki.

It's funny how just from the description - "toughest, ugliest" - I knew exactly what warplane it was. As a kid thirty years ago, I probably put together five different plastic models of the A-10 Warthog.

Well, that's odd. They have the wrapped characters in Mac Chrome for me, but not in FF. Another comment says change deployed but they're still off in Chrome on Mac (even with a forced/shift reload): http://imgur

I totally agree with chollida1. This is always the first tutorial I point people at. Is it possible to add "overflow: scroll" to the code sample blocks' CSS? I get a few characters flow down to the next line which is a bit ug

That's a horrible shame.

Your post looks good, but why do you link to your twitter post, which links back to a HN submission, which finally links to the post on your site? Can you not just point directly to it?

I suggest this one: https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter It's quite nice, but I would turn off live updating, as that slowed things down a bit for me. Updating on save works perfectly fine.

Is there a status page for statuspage.io? None of the images (other than graphs) are showing for me in Chrome. (Edit with example: http://imgur.com/Fgna1vg )

I've disabled all extensions, and the same thing happens. In fact, there's also a warning that "This site is attempting to download multiple files. Do you want to allow this?" I'm on Mountain Lion, Chrome Version 23.0.1271.101 Edited to add

I'm curious as well. I'm able to do everything and more in Vim/MacVim that I was able to do in TextMate 1. Sure, it may not look like a "native" app, but I don't see how that should be an issue. You want to focus on the text, not the prett

Yes, indeed. The RailsApps project resource has kept up to date with the recent Rails updates, and has many different templates based on testing, DB, etc: http://railsapps.github.com/ And like another commenter noted, Rails 3.0.3 is _very
