a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

So this is a guide for how to use XAMPP to test any PHP website on your own computer. Well, actually, it's more a guide of guides than an actual guide. I personally didn't find the process to be bad, but it also wasn't straightforward, and it involved a lot of googling separate problems. There was no One Guide for the Entire Process, but a bunch of separate things.

So I decided to put everything together. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Install XAMPP. Download from here.

Step 2: Set up XAMPP. Follow instructions here.

Step 3: Go to PhpMyAdmin and create any relevant MySQL tables, if any.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

101 Rx Samples in C#

This was taken from http://rxwiki.wikidot.com/101samples, because I wanted to be able to read it more comfortable with syntax highlighting.

Here's the unedited original, translated to Github Markdown glory:
