Piratebay is blocked. The state is monitoring your web traffic. No problem: it's time for a VPN. - bengoldacre - secondary blog
Seems a bit evil, but I suspect VPNs are going to be useful. Even if only for secure browsing while on unknowable wifi.

What I miss about HackDays · Betta Coding
"A lot of these events talk about apps, and offer rewards to continue work on the product, and call the HackDay a hackathon." - not a lot to disagree with here (as an outside observer, last hack day I went to was the first rewired state, and that certainly had a push for post-hackday development).

GitHub forking has one big flaw - zbowling blag
It's hard to basically disagree as we've all seen dead "root" repos and "fork soup", but I think it's wrong to say that the "root" repo has no special meaning. It *is* useful to say that one specific repo is the canonical source. Sure, github needs to improve the UI (the bitbucket "reason for fork" thing seems like a sensible idea), but demoting the root isn't it.
