Previews are v slow to load for some reason


Some of them are really large and I'm not resizing them or storing them, just proxying their og image directly. So they might be taking long to respond from the original source. Also getting hammerred by being in the front page.



Very unlikely, as the concentrations would be quite minute. Nick Lane expands on this in "The Vital Question" book.




Incorrect, you do need to provide an email address (bogus one works fine) and tick the Ts&Cs box.


Meditation brought about some massive changes for me: increased focus, better and more acute introspection; I became way less irritable and my stress levels reduced.

I briefly outlined my before and after experience in this blog post: http://nimblegecko.com/you-are-batshit-crazy/


Frankly, Github did a very poor job at communication this breaking change.

I only recently discovered that most of my post got broken.

Apparently it's no longer legit to use "#Title", you need to "# Title" (and god knows what else).

Linking is broken too - in Jekyll 2 there was no difference if a URL ended in "/" or not - you were just taken to the page, now this is a massive, although fixable pain (see https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/4440)

As a result my site experienced 500% drop in organic search referrals from Google.

I got no single email from then announcing this change. Very unhappy with how github handled it.


Not sure how the search suggestions are meant to work, but when typing "Drunkard's Walk" I can see the book at the top of the result's list, although when typing the author's name, "Leonard Mlodinow" I get no matches for his books at all.


Is this some sort of a promo trap? When clicking on book links I get taken to pages like this one http://www.freebie.guru/au/starwars/starwars625.html


That page isn't linked in this post. I don't know that site and won't click that link to find out what it is about.


No it is not, but I get redirected to it on my Android phone after clicking on book covers or graph.


That doesn't happen for me, at least with uBlock on.
