I'm not sure I see how you could use `git stash` to accomplish the same thing. Running `git stash && git stash pop` is almost a no-op, so you don't get the benefits described above. Am I missing something?

Not to be cruel, but I don't understand how you've used Git for years without understanding what the index is. There's more than a few learning resources for Git online to satisfy your curiosity. Anyway, to give an abbreviate

Here's hoping that this effort is where they've been concentrating some of their non-game devs. There have been longstanding issues with Valve-produced UX once you look beyond the in-game aspects. TF2 server list couldn't sor

Great efforts. I don't think it's usually the case that a raindrop is brought to a stop once it overcomes friction, though, right?

Allowing that there may be exceptions such as your own case (assuming you are properly assessing your situation), would you still agree that the generalization holds for the vast majority of cases?

My initial reaction is that you would need an additional moving part to turn this into a vulnerability. Say you had the ability to permalink to a filtered view -- the querystring param could carry an XSS payload... breaking out of the CSS c

Head over to http://hackaday.com or http://makezine.com and search for Arduino or ATMega or microcontroller -- you should have a ton of hits describing various projects.

Not his problem, and not a particularly significant downside if he doesn't follow through. A better response for you would be to upvote articles you think are better HN material.

That is a really weird conclusion to draw from this article. I don't know who you think is "vilifying" encryption as an application of mathematics.

Some out-of-the-box parsing can be done with NLTK and OpenNLP. Just be mindful of the fact that the quality of the parsing is fairly dependent on whether the corpora you provide are sufficiently similar to the corpora that the models (part-

Sentiment analysis implies attitudes, which imply context. A robust sentiment analysis system must either be trained on a targeted corpus (in which entities/concepts and attitudes are well aligned) or include some way of establishing a

I was going to email you, but I feel that it would be beneficial to other job seekers if I posted here instead. This is a rather vague listing, and I don't think there's any way I would apply without a few key questions being answ

It's definitely not just immigrants returning home. My wife is a neuroscientist, and we emigrated to Canada. Whether we will return is still an open question.

I'd suggest extending the idea to non-responsive sites as well. Instead of submitting a link to a company's homepage when they're being DDOSed or are otherwise unavailable, submit a link to their status page if they have one

I integrated Atmosphere into a Dropwizard-based project (not on GitHub yet, hoping to get it out there in a week or two -- look for Cyranix/mi5 if interested). Although I did get it to work, it wasn't a smooth experience. There se

The first step is accepting that you have a problem. Fortunately, it's fairly straightforward to fix the problem! Previous discussion of how to handle this scenario: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2689149

If you use NewsBlur to subscribe to their feed, you can use the "intelligence trainer" feature to filter based on author, tags, or phrases in titles -- works quite well almost always. (Not sure if other feed readers have the same

Does the researcher whose grant application is being sought need to do anything to discover the FOIA request, or does the filing automatically notify them in some manner?

But that's rather missing the point, isn't it? The premise is "Under circumstances where encryption is not a viable option, what secure communication methods might be possible?" so responses that ignore the premise, like

My guess is that someone was hoping to draw a parallel between someone fleeing Russia (Kasparov) and someone trying to get into Russia (Snowden).

The analogy to mechanical keys doesn't hold up under closer scrutiny, though, right? House keys don't serve as an identity, just an access mechanism. You don't lose all future access to your house if you lose your keys; a loc

We're not on GitHub (to my dismay) but my company does use Atlassian Stash, and they've been mimicking GitHub more and more with each update. Our development process does include pull requests, and code review is mandatory (with t

NewsBlur is also YC S12. I can't say I've tried them all to compare fairly, but I'm quite pleased with NewsBlur for my feed-reading needs. Samuel Clay has been quite responsive to the few GitHub issues I've filed, too.
