Except if you account for the fact that some other UNIX-like OS do not use bash as /bin/sh. You could even say that using bash as /bin/sh "is specific to Linux." How to fix: /#!\/bin\/bash/s/bash/sh/

"If code doesn't receive constant love, it turns to shit." But it sounds like this code was receiving "love", only the "love" was coming from run-of-the-mill "just get it to work" C++ programmers. I guess we need…
Questions: 0. How important is simplicity (modularity) to the project? 1. Will Tox work for user "idontrungentoo"? Will it compile on Solaris, BSD, etc. 2. Will the GUI be optional? If not, why is it mandatory? 3. Can…
Sounds like mirroring and ftp servers (or even bittorrent) would work just fine for distributing copyright-cleared video. Indeed that's how I remember it being done before YouTube and Netflix existed. Today, with the…

VJ: "... Yet the economics of the internet tends to ensure..." This may be the problem. Change the economics, solve the problem. Specifically, do away with the idea of "backbones" for ordinary users. Leave the backbones…
Schaffer: "... we consider Snaphax to be unlawful circumvention device under ..." Lackner: Mr. Schaffer, are you a lawyer? Please elaborate on why you consider Snaphax to be unlawful circumvention. I will assess the…
I don't measure latency as including rendering time. Maybe I'm not "rendering" anything except pure html. I measure HTTP latency as the time it takes to retrive the resources. Whatever happens after that is up to the…
Ah, the bikeshed. IMO the most relevant bit of pop psychology I've ever seen wielded by a programmer in a mailing list/online forum. It's validity is so seemingly self-evident, I'll bet this concept has been christened…
"I actually don't think that's the case." Neither do I. I think people make honest mistakes. Alas, under pressure, people also try to cover them up. I forget where I read it but some insider in the intelligence…
Amen, OP. herge: You could also use the "data" program from Hobbit's netcat.
Still the best article I've seen on this whole affair was the one at foreigpolicy.com back on June 11: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/2012/06/11/to_protect_and_defen... The US actually tried to impeach a president for…
"What happened to simple protocols?" Answer: The Internet is still running on them, 30 years later. Whenever I read something like "simplicity is hard", it makes me cringe. I hear that a lot, and I see evidence of…
I wonder if header compression is primarily to allow for ubiquitous, large cookies. Cookies were originally and with few exceptions remain a hack to try to add state to transactions that were not intended to be…
Yes, a major appeal of pipelining to me is efficiency with respect to open connections. It's easier to monitor the progress of one connection sending multiple HTTP verbs than multiple connections each sending one verb.…
Thanks for the reading material. You omitted the sentence before your excerpt where Mr. McManus suggests we move to a multiplexed pipelined protocol for HTTP. I'll go further. I say we need a lower level, large framed,…
OK, while we are reviewing the beliefs and actions of past Secretaries of War, how about Henry L. Stimson? He once said, "Gentelmen do not read each other's mail." Now, this was while he was Sec. of State, before he…
Yes, I understand there are buggy servers and proxies... and I use a browser that has settings to accomodate them. However... I do not know about HTTP bugs that affect <emphasis>pipelining<emphasis>. And... in addition,…
I trust in theory this is true, but I've never personally observed this in practice. I guess SPDY fans' marketing of this "feature" would be more convincing if I could see a demonstration. I just don't see any…
I choose HTTP/1.1 pipelining. Uncompressed headers are useful. Ordered records are returned (unlike SPDY), where "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" is the record separator. Been using this for a decade. Can't see the benefit of SPDY.…
I would have thought Adblock's userbase too small to be of concern to Google.
That's a little scary. I would have figured smart programmers would know these things. Most of the case law that has shaped this area of jurisprudence involves obvious criminals, mainly those who would be prosecuted for…
