Personally I think this is censorship because Github holds power in the development world. Basically every developer is on Github. I switched from Bitbucket to github not because Github is better, but because it's…
Looks reasonable as a support when your child is being taught how to swim (and is thus closely monitored). Looks absolutely horrible as a means of preventing your kid from drowning though. disclaimer: I'm not in any way…
Yes, that would be a waste of time. But in the past I've gotten in the habit of commenting things in the database for larger projects, and have written a bunch of tools to extract those comments and generate database…
Only if the send you your old password. If they reset your password, they can send you the plaintext first, then hash the password and store it in the database.
For me it's not so much that handing over cash is mentally more painful. It's just that cash is inconvenient to obtain, so if I don't have enough of it on me, I won't buy that drink in the shop when I'm only 20 minutes…
I think we don't even realise the impact we can have on people, deliberate or otherwise. Years ago, when I finished highschool, this guy came up to me and said "thanks for acting normal to me, it really helped me…
See my reply to jamongkad.
A little late, but anyway.. I've had panic attacks in two locations: while falling asleep in bed and in crowded trains. I guess I just kinda got used to them. Since I know what's coming I don't feel the 'panic' part of…
Airlines are like hard disk vendors or car manufacturers. Everybody has their anecdotal evidence that the particular one they hate is indeed the worst.
I once, involuntary, went without sleep for around 72 hours. I was at a music festival and we were either pulling through the night or I couldn't sleep because of the noise. When the time came to go home, I really felt…
The whole shrugging off and downplaying of issues like this are exactly the reason the internet is complete shit when it comes to security. Why, after all the exploits, insecure software and bad decisions, can people…
Is there a XSS exploit in this? I just clicked on the 'alert' stream, and it displayed two alert dialogs.

I've always felt that people didn't really regard Escher as an artist because his works are too straight forward. He manages to take his thoughts on infinity, beginning and end, dimensions and other philosophical and…
This has nothing to do with stopping terrorists. I'm pretty sure Cameron is not a stupid person and has consulted with experts on the matter, and there's no way anybody with any kind of clue is going to think it's…
I did this too in the past, but I've since found the convenience of 'git gui' too hard to ignore. The fact that it seamlessly runs on remote servers over X forwarding without having to install anything on the remote…
I can't imagine my workflow being all that special, but I never have to deal with this? I just write new features, refactor if needed, fix unrelated bugs, etc. When I feel like it's commit-time, I cherry-pick changed…
Dutch guy here. I haven't biked in the U.S, but from what I've seen, biking in the Netherlands is completely different. - Cars drive slower. 50 km/h in city zones, many places that are restricted to 30 km/h. - Our…
