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.


Neither is fork or pull request something that you can't do easily without Bitbucket and Github, but people still use them mainly because those two sites make it easier for them to fork a project and keep the fork up to date. I guess it's all about convenience, and time will tell if people will use it.


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


I'll just add that these days, people should consider using the Darcs bridge instead: http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsBridgeUsage

It's not ready for bi-directional incremental bridging, but for one shot conversions, it should be just fine.

The Darcs bridge uses the Darcs library to do things and understands Darcs better.


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


SOAP is the cause: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets

Fortunately it looks like AWS is starting to use JSON for newer APIs: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/amazondynamodb/latest/deve...


The whole internet needs to work with utf8. Most of it does of course, but there are a few problems around.
