Andrew Sullivan — Debt Ceiling Reading List #2:
I have to say I'm not that unhappy with this result, as I explained last night. But that's because I want serious budget cuts and don't regard our current debt as benign. I guess that is what makes me not-a-liberal. But I also want shared sacrifice in the age of austerity and think major tax reform and means-testing of entitlements can get us much of the way there.

A good write-up of Git branching strategies by Benjamin Sandofsky (although I don't totally agree with the point about "private" feature branches always being local). A good explanation of what's going on with Git branches, and how/when to use rebase to simplify things. Also, totally worth it for the phrase: "Declaring Branch Bankruptcy".
