Yeah, it definitely depends on the use case. Some websites just "make sense" on responsive layouts. Others… not so much :)


For JavaScript or CSS single-file projects it's actually quite simpler to wget the one file from the Raw URL (or copy-paste the contents into a new buffer in your editor), than to clone/download the archive and then move the file from the downloaded directory and then clean up the other downloaded files.

edit For example, `curl https://raw.github.com/documentcloud/backbone/master/backbon... > js/lib/backbone-min.js`


Thanks, but why would Releases solve this?


I have no idea :P

But that's the case for which I use raw + save instead of download the zip / clone :)


Get those pull requests merged! :)


We did, and then we dropped it because a _very_ small percentage of users were on non-English locales.


Ah, my Family Game, how many hours did I invest in it while growing up? Those "999 in 1" cartridges were awesome :)


Love it :)

One suggestion, show small flags next to people in the list view as well, with the name of the country in the title attribute.


For all the respect you can have to Yehuda, please don't compare him to Feynman :)


Heh, rails' time_ago_in_words, but right :P


Well the obvious reason is mentioned in the article: most people already do have a facebook account, while G+ is still new for most of the internet.

If you are likely to be on facebook, you probably already are. I don't think it's surprising the growth is decreasing.

I would be (pleasantly) surprised if the growth was negative, but that's not going to happen :P


Actually, they are losing users in the countries where they first emerged. But for now, growth is sustained by late-comers in other countries, much like it happened to RIM.

I think when your core users and initial early adopters are leaving your product/service, you need to start worrying immediately, rather than wait for that 3-year late "financial impact" to "believe it" that you're in trouble.


Co-located teams are better off with sticky notes and whiteboards as long as the client is also in the same room :)

Either way, I work from South America for clients in the US, so I like having these tools around. Specially when they innovate in any way. That means better tooling for communicating with my clients, which is the #1 problem of distributed teams :)
