Interesting observation. I checked a couple of my 1Password files and you're right: usernames & passwords are encrypted, but not the website/URL they're associated with.
It's not 'compliancy' as much as they're reinventing the wheel. REST was born out of a philosophy that the HTTP protocol already solved much of what you wanted to do. HTTP not only solved this, but solved this a long…
For those who want to take this kind of approach (object prevalence) in Common Lisp see http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-prevalence/ Sven Van Caekenberghe (the author of cl-prevalence) and I used this approach to power…
Learned that soon enough, only 2 Xserves were used and the rest of the rack quickly went back to Linux ;-) Although those puppies are still up-and-running of course (my Xserve adventure was in 2003)
I concur! Ran a couple of Xserves a while ago to run web application stacks on it and most of the time I diverged from using the GUI to administer things I shot myself in the foot (Apache, firewalls, initscripts,…
You're right, but I find that there are so many tap targets because of the table rows and cells that one double-tap zoom ('auto-zoom') is a hit-or-miss affair in mobile Safari . Even on the iPad, where the default font…
HN _looks_ decent on mobile browsers, but doesn't handle all that well on them. On iPhone: font sizes are really too small, voting arrows are practically not hittable without zooming in and trying to zoom in on the…
Excellent article & advice, especially for those who procrastinate all the time but don't even know it. On the other hand: knowing that giving up in mid-flight has it own set of consequences will often lead to not…
The Logitech G13 game controller works flawlessly on Mac OS X and is a hell of a lot more comfortable if you want to game on your laptop. It can also store keymap profiles on the device itself so you can use it on any…
The article is very thin on the particulars, but my guess is that they're reading the draft on Scribd and a well-known plugin keeps crashing. You can't approve something if you can't read it IMHO!
Wow, that's 4 minutes of my life I won't get back, and I'm a subversion (and git) user ;-(
I love the abundance of 'XXX is sued by MPEG LA' press releases on their 'media' page! I guess they designate lawyers using 'squad/platoon/battalion' instead of boring old 'department' ;-)
There's also Common Lisp: First Contact: http://homepage.mac.com/svc/CommonLispFirstContact/index.htm... A very nice 15-page PDF hands-on introduction, in a nice layout optimized for screen-reading on our fancy…
You're correct, that was the gist of it. The main reason for building that mini reddit clone was that the Reddit developers had just switched to Python and to use something different than a mini blog platform for a…
the little clone is part of the examples of the KPAX web application framework: http://kpax.wolf359.be/kpax/dynamic/reddit/ More little KPAX live examples: http://kpax.wolf359.be/kpax/dynamic/welcome
It might be just me, but watching this felt like watching 'The Inconvenient Truth of the food industry'. So all we need now is a meeting of the leaders of the world in Copenhagen to ignore this huge problem with the…
He made sure Carrie Fisher got her daily dose of ...euh... 'Rouge'! Oh, wait... that was on on 'War Of The Ewoks' (aka Bikini Harvest).
Agreed! If it was 1997 I'd actually might read an article published on a CNET website, but it's not so I made this superfluous comment instead.
Control-zoom is awesome indeed, but has been available for a long time using the scroll wheel of any mouse. Enable it in Universal Access > Zoom options > Use scroll wheel modifier to enable zoom > ^
Basically: people who need to fill the slots to connect hardware that's as expensive as their computing platform and/or are running a software stack that can also cost as much as an iMac. In generally these people fit…
