On the other hand, the opposite of live() is die(). Odd.

You can always replace the branches with tags (git tag failed-branch-mybranch mybranch && git branch -D mybranch). That way, you still will have access to the unmerged commits later, but your list of branches is clean. Your tags will bloat up, but I personally don't go through my tags nearly as often as my branches.

I'm on the EC2 free usage tier and having no problems for my minimal use of a VPS. For just playing around and testing stuff, it's great.

But SVG isn't supported in any version of IE... For me, that's the main reason to use Raphaël.

The screenshot you're referencing is from OS X! If you don't quit Chrome for a while, then open "About Google Chrome", that dialog or something very similar will display.

This is the first thing that came to mind for me. I recently wrote a WSGI Python app that made use of chunked encoding, so that it could emit multi-hundred MB text files without loading them all into memory first, and one of the big hurdles was running into an error after having sent some data. In the end I had to implement a fancy Javascript check and keep some state in the app to check if there had been an error and the downloaded file was no good.

Wow, until now I had assumed upvotes/saved stories were public.

While I wait for the site to load, I figured I'd comment with my own placeholder-cat experience. A site I worked on was taking a while to get me the actual images, so I took to Pixelmator and fixed myself some LOLcat placeholders. People loved it, except for one of the QAs, who said it was going to give her nightmares.

I think the name is "Careers 2.0" as in, this is the new version of how you manage your career. Before, you searched for jobs on job boards, sending out your resume, etc. Now, the employers come to you. Careers 2.0.
