Likely as a result of the DMCA takedown request that has blocked access to their repo: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2014-07-11-MPAA.m...

I've installed the app, but have not created an account yet. Every few minutes I get a push notification that "Ed sent you a link". [0]

I think you have a bit of a problem with whatever system you are using to send notifications!

Important to note that postfix dereferencing is experimental, and does not replace the existing method of dereferencing.

Also, I think the deprecation of core CGI.pm is pretty major. For now it just issues a deprecation warning, but will be removed totally from core in future versions, only being available via the CPAN.

I can see zero difference in the information density between the existing non-responsive design of that page [0], and the beta version of the responsive design [1].

While your point that mobile first design inevitably causes a lack of information density at desktop resolutions has some merit, it does not apply in this case.

Or even simpler, use the customizer [0] to download the bits you want. A few checkboxes and you're done.

Sounds like a very similar chain of events to the Goiânia_accident [0]

From the guidelines - and I think a much better way of adding commentary & changing headlines:

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Don't abuse the text field in the submission form to add
  commentary to links. The text field is for starting
  discussions. If you're submitting a link, put it in the url
  field. If you want to add initial commentary on the link,
  write a blog post about it and submit that instead.

I totally agree about the private repo thing. In fact I emailed them and they added to their Feature Request List™

I suggest you email <[email protected]> to let them know more than one person would like the feature :)

> Nothing of this has anything to do with cargo cults. There is an actual reason behind every rule.

There may be reasons, but I find there is often a lack of understanding about the context in which that rule was developed, and the compromises that were made. A developer not understanding why things must be done in a certain way, but doing it anyway sounds pretty cargo-culty to me.

To be able to see this information on the linked page, click on "Advanced: Enable" at the bottom of the screen. Then you'll see the "Output Scripts" section where this info is contained.

In case it's not clear, this is a development version along the road to the stable 5.18 release, expected in May 2013.

The Perl core team are getting very good at timeboxing their development and releasing on time.

This is really beautiful, and just what I need right now at my company. Well done, and thank you!
