"blocks" and "suspends" accounts are the same thing. Nothing you said or that the article said contradicts the headline.

"This code is free for everybody to use as they wish", but it doesn't state that it is free to distribute, free to modify, free to sell copies, so I wouldn't consider this an open source license. I'm not a lawyer an

Verizon could be using one definition of GB and the phone another. (One more reason to use the unambiguous MiB, GiB units.)

I don't know much about Linuxbrew, but that looks like a fork, not Homebrew officially supporting Linux.

I'm excited about Homebrew potentially coming to Linux. When I first started using OS X more regularly, I was surprised by how better an experience OS X + Homebrew is compared to Ubuntu/Debian repositories + PPAs/third-party

This article has an auto-play video ad with sound. I'm flagging it, I hope that's OK.

I love that she posts stuff like this. It's not meant to be a review of anything, it's a journal of how she learns things, and I've learnt a lot through her writings because of it. Docker is confusing and almost everything wr

By open source, most people mean that the source is free to redistribute legally. The OSI definition is more formal. The source being viewable is not enough to qualify it as being open source.

Which moral worldview do you find superior? I presume you have one, because you're making a moral judgement.

I don't think he's advocating for shortening the docs, if you look at the example he gave, his improved version was much longer: it explained each argument in detail as well as the return type, and gave an example.

The author also has experience teaching beginners (presumably), giving them a perspective that experienced programmers very easily forget and/or ignore.

This is what it actually looks like in Chrome Canary: http://i.imgur.com/PN8OewF.png There is no announcement that I know of that Chrome will start highlighting http:// sites with a red warning icon and the text

Besides the points other people made, I would also like to add that the copyright of a photo belongs to the photographer, not the model. That's why there are laws protecting a model's rights and protecting people's privacy in

Some of these people had US passports. US passports! If I had a US passport it would not cross my mind that I was not a US citizen and that I needed to do even more paperwork.

HTTPS in any form would not stop Cloudflare from doing what you describe. Think about it, an encryption system that stops an end-point server from passing decrypted data to somewhere else is basically impossible. It would mean finding a DRM

When I click on a link someone has sent me, I want to see what the server at that link is sending me. I don't want to see what a MITM is sending me. Maybe I shouldn't trust the person who sent me the link and/or the method i

What Mozilla is proposing here is that metadata (the mime header if not the filename) is respected and guessing based on the contents is eliminated. So the proposal is more similar to your professor's idea than to yours.

I can't read this without logging in, even if I get there through a Google SERP. I'm flagging this because of that, I don't know if that's valid or not.

Also doing `git checkout -- filename` will lose the changes to that file permanently. The only feature I miss from Bazaar was that it would create a backup file automatically for its equivalent command. I have actually created a bash functi

Fascinating. I'd understand why GitLab and Gogs might not be competing with each other, but why invest in Gogs? How does that benefit GitLabs the company?

> Your safety and protection is entirely up to you. This is just not true. There are ways to persuade cyclists and drivers to behave more safely without saying things that are obviously untrue.

I think you're talking about AdBlock Plus, not AdBlock, which is a different product by different people.

That argument doesn't apply to Facebook who don't serve ads from third-party servers or with third-party code. You're just as likely to find a security flaw in Facebook's ads as in Facebook's organic posts.

Yes! It's about CMS's compete a bit on security. Content Security Policy needs to be by default. This page says CSP is managed "through a web interface", which worries me a bit.

IE10 and IE11 have a large numbers of bugs in their flexbox implementation or only support the 2012 syntax, so this might actually be desirable. (Compatibility info from http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox )
