Introduction to Markdown

This is an example of the markdown language as displayed by github. For the best results, compare this markdown to the raw text side by side. The information is primarily from Daring Fireball, but condensed into one big example with commentary limited to gotchas. This line will continue the previous paragraph.
Two spaces at the end of the line denotes a new line.

An empty line adds an empty line in addition to denoting a new line. This behavior is the same with or without spaces.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

Embedders of V8 should generally use the head of the branch corresponding to the minor version of V8 that ships in Chrome.

Finding the minor version of V8 corresponding to the latest stable Chrome

To find out what version this is,

Go to https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/
Find the latest stable Chrome version in the table
Enter it into the "Translate a Chrome verison to a V8 version" box below the table.
Ignore the last two parts.

Git DMZ Flow

I've been asked a few times over the last few months to put together a full write-up of the Git workflow we use at RichRelevance (and at Precog before), since I have referenced it in passing quite a few times in tweets and in person. The workflow is appreciably different from GitFlow and its derivatives, and thus it brings with it a different set of tradeoffs and optimizations. To that end, it would probably be helpful to go over exactly what workflow benefits I find to be beneficial or even necessary.

Two developers working on independent features must never be blocked by each other
- No code freeze! Ever! For any reason!
A developer must be able to base derivative work on another developer's work, without waiting for any third party
Two developers working on inter-dependent features (or even the same feature) must be able to do so without interference from (or interfering with) any other parties
Developers must be able to work on multiple features simultaneously, or at lea
