I totally agree about the private repo thing. In fact I emailed them and they added to their Feature Request List™ I suggest you email <support@github.com> to let them know more than one person would like the feature :)
It's new in 0.5.0 [1] - Released ~10 days ago. Things in docker-land move super quick! [1] https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/wiki/Docker-0.5.0:-extern...
Incidentally 86% of Dutch people speak English, from my experience that is higher in coastal / docklands areas. Also an iPod shuffle is $49. I thought it was a nice gesture.
http://training.perl.com/OSCON2011/index.html Specifically the talk titled "Unicode Support Shootout: The Good, The Bad, & the (mostly) Ugly" It's a year old now, but it's still relevant. It gives a very detailed…
Apple haven't announced which machines will be compatible with the released version of Mountain Lion, so it's premature to say that Apple are "blocking" it. "Blocking" is also different to "Not Supporting" Minimum specs…
I live in the complex where these missiles are supposed to be deployed. The part of this situation that upsets me the most is not the missiles, but what comes along with them - the heavily armed soldiers billeted for up…
The issue I took was that in the HN submission you position them as best practices, but when questioned on them you said they are just guidelines that don't have to be followed all the time. This disagrees with your own…
Shove it on GitHub, it's edit in-browser functionality means it is accessible to non-techies. Problem solved. All it needs is someone to pick a master format for the text and run with it. That should be someone with…
That would be very useful. I struggled to find references to back up my statement, as the jQuery docs for .ajax() only has a vague "other methods may not be supported in all browsers" - with no further details. A simple…
Because it is wrong. Time is a difficult problem to solve, it doesn't move at a constant rate, the length of days and years change. You simply cannot set a constant and have it be "correct". It may be more performant to…
I don't want to turn this into a rumour thread, the news sites can keep people up to date. I just want people to keep in mind that the news will be sensationalist, and not to think that the entire city is in flames.
I'm a Londoner near some of the affected areas. The sky is not falling, London is not degenerating into lawlessness, and from what I can see from my flat window, police are responding quickly. Other areas may be…
There is a branch of PIE that supports text-shadow which makes it even more useful. I used it on my site re-design because we have multiple text-shadows creating a graphical effect on our logo without images. It works…
There is a link to the press release[1] the bottom left, next to where it says "source" - All Engadget posts have it in the same place. Seemingly it's not prominent enough, but the attribution is certainly there. [1]…
404 at the moment - perhaps published instead of saved as a draft? Google Cached Version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sourceid=chrome...
Have a look at Authen::Passphrase::BlowfishCrypt [1]. it handles a lot of my suggestions automatically and is more suited to your general-case than my code is. [1]…
I also blogged about this topic on blogs.perl.org the other week with some code examples that work a little better [1]. Your code appears to work, but is subtly broken in a few ways. Firstly since you don't return the…
I think you need a little more instruction. What does this do? My first thought was that it would generate a QR code for any string you provide, through url hacking. (i.e anything after the domain name is used as the…
It's a good first attempt, but it's not quite there yet and won't replace gitbox in my workflow. The big problem is that it will only work with the origin remote [1]. This means no pulling in upstream changes, then…
Agree with people here. Absolutely yes. True Story: I was in the same boat. Usually people have never used it, but google for it to verify it's real - and are suitably impressed. However, one day I interviewed at a…
This is for employees of other companies to buy Apple gear with the corporate discount. Like a bonus scheme, but instead of gift vouchers you get an online store. Though when I was at Apple, the student discount was…
Schemes like this multiplication technique are fascinating, the patterns one can see are beautiful. The fact they are not taught in schools is scandalous. Their use is actively discouraged. My Dad bought me a book about…
Gist of the article is that if you create an OS X installer package with a malicious postflight script, you can do naughty things. Not new information - by design the postflight script can do anything that a regular…
Make sure your product is better than your competitor's. You shouldn't be scared of a customer doing a fair comparison of your product against someone else's.
