This could be solved reasonably well with ACLs. Give the git user selective write to the tree rooted at /srv/www/helloworld.

Be wary of having .git accessible to the outside world. If it is routed, possibly due to default web server configuration or an oversight, it can be rather easy to fetch the complete (or in the case of packed refs, nearly complete) histor

Ouch, sorry for not paying better attention; I didn't notice the source to yours. Both approaches appear equally valid and yours appears to be rather more fleshed-out (what with preferences). I didn't mean to denigrate your project, as well

It can be slightly less efficient when (on supporting architectures) the compiler could automatically generate a jump table in place of stacked conditionals, which it cannot do for a chain of ifs.

Why can't they switch to key holds (the likes of which Apple uses)? Hold down Windows+R ('R'ecovery) during boot to access the menu, no frustrated tapping required. It seems like a fair compromise solution between "make a bunch of special i

I did, but none of that is mentioned in either the original Mozilla blog post or this article. We have no reason to believe that disabling desktop mode precludes an application acting as a Gecko rendering bridge for a Metro UI. They seem co

But a Metro version of Firefox is being worked on[1]: in light of that, how does the removal of desktop style apps impact Mozilla? It does not appear to. [1]: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Windows8

It could already provably handle the load of millions of Chrome users (cf. SPDY: https). And it's not like it's totally separate from their normal http infrastructure, which could also already provably handle the load of billions of searche

Why was this not done when Google started supporting https? It seems almost negligent to have not done it sooner.

The Windows installers are prepared by a separate team, not the GIMP developers. There's really no use in getting upset that another platform you don't care about got it before you.

I believe Comcast stopped this as of their network-wide DNSSEC deployment. Either way, the article provides a pretty interesting way around it, but I can't expect ISPs hell-bent on false lookup spoofing to sit on their hands for long enough

I don't think it's fair of you to imply that I lack the mental capacity to remember that: I recall it just fine. However, it's quite immaterial. I was responding to your statement that they don't care , which is not to say that they could

This article looks like a really high-level approach to assembly based on a few incorrect premises. Many of the sentences here seem to contain incorrect original research or oversimplifications of the concepts required to understand assembl

Except that in this case they do, and have had numerous discussions about default fonts and wanting to not step on patent issues over things like ClearType (for RGB subpixel rendering).

Usually, a maintainer will step up and build packages for a given project. Be it one developer or a small team thereof, it's definitely not the entire community (and in fact can be unrelated to the community.) However, as distribution versi

iOS doesn't actually spawn a new thread for every window in an application. All of the UIKit calls are still very thread-unsafe and expect to be used only from the main thread. This doesn't really cause much of a problem, since apps are pag

Haiku can be built with/for GCC 2 or GCC 4 and ship with libraries for the other. Some time after R1, the gcc2-hybrid releases will probably be flipped to gcc4-hybrid, and the gcc2 libs kept around for backwards-compatibility purposes only.

I was more expecting to see the absurd results of shrinking the Earth to the size of a tennis ball (as "what happens") instead of "what else do we have to do to keep scale?" Not to say that the article wasn't interesting- it certainly was!

This makes me think of the not-so-recent deprecation of Offline Access by Facebook. I do not know whether it will be supported ad infinitum, but if not, it requires other completely-functional apps to be majorly rearchitected or break entir

While it might be using an unofficial sprite spec, everything you linked at 0x10co.de is using an unofficial input and graphics spec… That's what the community does: fill in the missing pieces!

You could probably get a hilarious optimization out of it[0] by using gcj to compile the set of classes that JRuby generates into a native binary. Or, you know, use dx and transcompile it to Dalvik bytecode. [0]: Unfortunately, JRuby gives
