It is interesting to me! Do you know if the above applies to Datastream for CloudSQL as well, is it the same thing, or are you talking about a more DIY approach to CDC here?

I assume not everyone using MySQL and BigQuery are using CloudSQL and so don’t have Datastream available to them.

I've been planning on learning Love2D / Lua soon, and this looks amazing.

Have you shared it on the Love2D forums yet?

Would it work well for a use case like say, debugging behavior on collision? Like say I fall through a platform, rewind, change a variable, play forwards, fall through, rewind again, etc?

Isn't Github having it's annual employee family picnic this week in SF?

This is literally going to ruin someones picnic.

You've nailed it here, outstanding job.

Any chance of defining a custom selection key other than ctrl? On my Macbook air, holding the control key with my pinky or thumb while I type is really awkward. Shift would seem more natural, as the pinky finger is already used to using this as a modifier, no?

Had this idea too, glad someone has executed on it so awesomely. I've been eager to get better at Sublime Text, so will start using this.

Two suggestions which I think would be really awesome.

!. The hard part of exercising though is getting your butt to the gym. What if you could sign up for a daily email that keeps you at it, challenging you to take it to the next level, tracks your progress, sets goals and reminds you to make them, etc.

2. It's really abstract to just hit key commands without seeing them actually do something. What if you made small animated gifs for each action your are emulating, maybe even with a full fake editor background? This way, your brain would be tricked further that you are actually performing the action represented by the keyboard shortcut.

What is the VC culture like in Berlin? Are there many VCs, and what kind of companies do they typically invest in?

To me, this is the difference between a good town for bootstrapping and a good town for creating a startup. As it stands, this article seems more like an argument for why Berlin is a great place to bootstrap a company. Which is also great, but different.

This reminds me, whatever happened to Turbogears? Are many people using it? I never really hear people mention using it compared to Django.

I thought long and hard about the "Should I learn Django or Turbogears" question 3 or four years ago, and went with Django. Back then, Django was not yet the "default" answer.
