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…
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.
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…
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…
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".
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…
TL;DR: a 3 line exercise in bash argument munging. t="${!#}" c=("ssh" "-t" "${@:1:$(($#-1))}" "${t%:*}" "cd ${t##*:}; \$SHELL -l") "${c[@]}" That's literally the whole repo.
In spite of (because of) how stupid this sounds, I think there's a million dollar idea in here if you made it sufficiently frustrating and competitive. Perhaps pushing the button increments a number that decays…
Solve two nearly insurmountable problems and you have a winner: 1) Make it impossible to game. 2) Chicken and egg. I have no idea how to solve these problems, but it's a concept ripe for disruption if you do.
1. New platform with not many apps 2. Gotta play Apple's game and tout the app count 3. Devs plz more apps kthxbye; don't worry about quality -- we'll look the other way and hose down criticism with excuses 4. Consumers…

You're thinking like an engineer. Good on you. But most people aren't engineers. iPad [1-5] parses well but is meaningless to customers who don't ogle tech news and spec sheets. iPad Air conveys what Apple wants to…
I though the same thing. In fact, with each passing year the more I'm convinced that "no matter how far our minds have gotten us, they are no match for a well-engineered algorithmic model running at light speed on…
