   I remember hearing about the Android version of this feature but never actually saw it anywhere. And I didn't know that there was a desktop version of it. I wonder why they don't advertise it a bit more.

   I wish I could agree here. I'd love to use Gogs. But it has had a crippling performance issue for big repositories for a while now, and the devs don't seem to prioritize it: https://github.com/gogits/gogs&#x2F

   Pinning is based on the key fingerprint, though, so reissued certs shouldn't matter as long as the private key used for the CSR is the same. I use HPKP with Let's Encrypt certs and haven't had any issues.

   My success rate with DuckDuckGo searches is noticeably lower than Google. I always search on DuckDuckGo first and then fall back to Google if I can't find what I'm looking for, which is about half the time. So I'm actually co

   An idle web app will use up just as much battery as an idle native app. Idle apps can still vary in how much battery life they consume. I've seen some background apps that don't appear to be using any CPU (i.e. "0%"

   YubiKey 4 supports 4096-bit RSA. But it's not USB-C.

   Googling around for a comparison, and came across this paper. Looks interesting so far. http://www.bth.se/com/mscee.nsf/attachments/mukb08_Thesis_Re...

   Didn't he say he imported a repository with 25 years of history?

    Tried it out for the heck of it. Unfortunately Dun & Bradstreet has old address information for my company and their account creation system is broken (error 'CEPDEV101' when creating an account). So the "3 hour" val

    Well, that's one interpretation, and the city and health department have made statements disagreeing with it. We'll see what the courts say eventually, it's scheduled to go to trial in August 2016. http://www.seatt

    I don't think the project was canned on technical grounds, but more on project management grounds. The project ran for several years with no real deliverables or deadlines, and management inevitably had to question whether the project

    I wonder, does Intel's TSX/HLE help with these workloads? If it's read-only then I'd expect that it'd be able to elide a lot of the locking (assuming the Intel-designed heuristics do the job).

    Gotos are trivial. They map directly to unconditional jumps at the assembly level. They're one of the best ways to implement exception handling in C (look at how the Linux kernel uses them). It's also not unusual to have conditi
