Is this a stab at the fact that there's no hashing? Or that the credentials are pointless when you could just generate a random url to authenticate, since the HTTP channel is encrypted anyway?
A curious result, but the conclusion is ridiculous. I can think of a handful of explanations for this result, none of which would implicate libcurl. -Incomparable harnesses -Misuse of the library's api -Build switches…
On the bright side, this project acknowledges the killer issue with these kinds of marketplaces: scalably managing quality, scope, and disputes. But on the other hand, I see nothing but assurances and a woefully low cut…
Thing is, software doesn't happen in a vacuum. Perhaps it's worth considering that maybe the reason that checklists aren't the norm in the FOSS "meritocracy" is that they hinder progress, for a certain value of…
I assure you I'm serious. You might be interested in reading patio11's essays on this. He says if far better that I can.
First, in the real world private registries are used for builds containing source, sensitive keys, and so forth. There is a use case here. But second, no enterprisey company will use a service that bills like this,…
Famous last words when going up against Goliath Hollywood.
Because space isn't this thing where you eject stuff like a garbage chute. I recommend reading up on rocketry, orbital mechanics, and modern space programs because a) it's really cool stuff! and b) you'd quickly realize…
Just classic marketing psychology, of the "stopped beating your wife yet?" variety. By pondering why Google missed the forecast you automagically dump the blame on Google instead of the shitty forecast. Vocab is hardly…
Except the cups must be recycled where you bought them, and when they accidentally turn out to be super toxic Bob insists the recycling fee was clearly posted. I don't know who's right here, but it's definitely not that…
Yes and no. First off, TLS is crypto bread-and-butter that's used for a lot more than HTTPS. You're not out of the woods because you're not running a webserver. Second, SSH itself doesn't use TLS; it has its own…
I won't speak to this particular case, but look at the incentives for any service that stores people's coins: -You can cash out (steal) an arbitrary amount of people's coins, blaming it on a "hack". If technically…
You know what would be brilliant? If this were Karpeles himself using "hackings" in a desperate attempt to deflect legal responsibility. I have no idea what the likelihood of this is, but it's in the realm of…
Your comment demonstrates how monumentally "The War on Terror" has failed, now that people have been so thoroughly terrorized that the most available explanation for a plane disappearing has become "terrorism".
It's less incredible once you come to terms with the fact that like so much "zero-tolerance" emotionally charged legislation its role is to be a political gun that doesn't require the ammunition of justice or reason to…
End-user Windows licenses haven't been a significant source of income for Microsoft for a very long time. They make their money from their enterprise ecosystem, and end-user Windows serves only to support that…
Having been where you've been, may I suggest that the dealbreaker is that you're treating dating like a World of Warcraft inventory checklist? I wish someone had told me that when I was saying the same things.
This only works if you stick with every partner long enough to get a perfectly accurate assessment of them as a long term mate, that your assements are perfectly objective, independent, and stable, and that you know n.…
This thing is dead on arrival. Unless I'm mistaken it's not open source, so the main draw of node (unrestrained hackability -- see npm) goes out the window. The touted benefit is marginally increased parallel…
Way too much schadenfreude given Gox's history. Although contrary to popular belief Gox was never a Magic exchange, they were a Bitcoin startup at a time when Bitcoin was not much more than internet lols and pizza…
If the rumors are true and Gox is tanking, I don't think Karpeles can ever adequately feel the aggregate pain that his incompetence in his role has caused MtGox customers. He deserves much worse than nasty internet…
We need a new word for this bullshit (though it's by no means a new phenomenon). Kafkaware?
Sure. I want a git server with push notifications. Two lines with the pushover module in node. I would be pleasantly surprised if this existed at all in the Haskell community. Even more so with two lines of my own code.
> JS's lack of strong typing limits your ability to reason about streams (a lot more than just streams, too) and further limits your ability to write performant stream computing software I think you missed my point so…
Here's the main enlightenment of becoming a node.js guy: Node follows the unix way. Everything is a stream. It's just Buffers and JS objects flying around. It's really stupid, and sometimes it's nasty. This isn't helped…
