Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

San Francisco by Foot

• You can start anywhere in the Castro, Mission (home of the burrito), or downtown. I'd recommend starting at Chow at Market & Church or The Pork Store on 16th at Valencia. If you wanted to go upscale on the weekend, Maverick at 17th and Mission is a fantastic brunch. Another option is to start in Chinatown (just north of Union Squre) for dim sum.
• From Castro take one of the N, J, etc. trains (every light rail train route in the city intersects at Church and Market) down to the Powell Street station. From the Mission you can take BART a couple of stops up to Powell Street.
• Once at Powell Street hop on the Powell Street trolley. A quintessential SF experience.
• Take the trolley up through the city where it will eventually stop at Lombard Street, which is known as the most crooked street in the world. Walk down the hill, take a few pictures and laugh at the tourists trying to drive down the damn thing.
• Once at the bottom of the hill, turn left. You'll be walking towards the w

Why I Like Go

I visited with PagerDuty yesterday for a little Friday beer and pizza. While there I got started talking about Go. I was asked by Alex, their CEO, why I liked it. Several other people have asked me the same question recently, so I figured it was worth posting.

Goroutines

The first 1/2 of Go's concurrency story. Lightweight, concurrent function execution. You can spawn tons of these if needed and the Go runtime multiplexes them onto the configured number of CPUs/Threads as needed. They start with a super small stack that can grow (and shrink) via dynamic allocation (and freeing). They are as simple as go f(x), where f() is a function.

var cluster = require('cluster');
var http = require('http');
var numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length;

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  // Fork workers.
  for (var i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
    cluster.fork();
  }
  cluster.on('exit', function(worker, code, signal) {

/*
  As of version 1.1.2, Propane will load and execute the contents of
  ~Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js
  immediately following the execution of its own enhancer.js file.

  You can use this mechanism to add your own customizations to Campfire
  in Propane.

  Below you'll find two customization examples.

# Config for Nginx to act as a front-end for Riak
# The main goal is to proxy all GETs directly to Riak, and disallow anything else (POST, PUT, etc)
# Also, disallow use of the map/reduce query links (i.e. /riak/bucket/key/_,_,_)

# Config is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default or somewhere like that

# Set up load-balancing to send requests to all nodes in the Riak cluster
# Replace these IPs/ports with the locations of your Riak nodes
