I hear Sitka is lovely this time of year. (Explaining the joke: that's where the alternate history in _The Yiddish Policemen's Union_ put its post-WW2 Jewish diaspora.)

The USB-C laptops just use straight up USB-PD, thankfully, and don't have any DRM or other controls. I've charged my USB-C XPS 13 off an assortment of Apple, Dell, and generic chargers.

I bet you have the same accent as most of the people you deal with. I do not, having moved halfway around the world, and doing things over the phone is often surprisingly painful.

Jitsi can work in either peer-to-peer mode or with a "videobridge" that acts as a server in much the same style as Zoom et al.

There's also another Twitter thread that has the final, cleaned up panoramas: https://twitter.com/DonaldM38768041/status/12345820835126190...

That's what my girlfriend and I have done for the last seven years. You have to agree on what's a "joint" expense, but provided you work that out, it's a very simple way of handling shared finances.

Android 10 also has a similar prompt via notifications.

At this point, it might even just be an Oregon and Washington thing: if anything, it was the year of sours in BC. There are still breweries pumping out ten different IPAs, but most seem to have pulled back to a couple of core varieties and

WebAssembly is explicitly disabled on the ESR version of Firefox 52, per https://www.caniuse.com/#search=webassembly , so that would explain that.

It's definitely below what you get with a true VPN, but it's a great option when combined with an SSH server listening on port 443 to get any kind of "VPN" on a locked down network (like most airport WiFi, for example).

I don't use LastPass, but one thing that impresses me about their blog post: they didn't hide behind "your passwords are hashed" or something equally weaselly, but instead said exactly and clearly how passwords are hashe

It appears they were running SMF, so in this case "hashed" means "a single iteration of SHA-1 after salting with the username"[1]. Ugh. Hopefully nobody was using a password they used elsewhere. [1] https://gi

I suspect this'll be the basis of a new major version, based on early discussions. It probably won't be a 5.x release.

Fair point. This is how that page will look after the weekly manual rebuild occurs on Friday: http://i.imgur.com/YXhafB5.png

An update has been posted on this: http://php.net/archive/2013.php#id2013-10-24-1 tl;dr: Relevant services moved to new servers; investigation continuing. Post mortem to follow once that's done.

So far so good — I threw a 1080p file at it last night and it did fine. Admittedly, most of my content is in 720p, because that was about all the Apple TV I used to use could deal with.

I couldn't agree more: mine runs XBMC well and, for me, is worth the $100 just for that. That there are emulators that work well and some fun games are pure bonuses, really. It's something that slots in alongside other consoles ra

The mysql_* function API is part of ext/mysql and is deprecated — mysqlnd is a lower level library that basically replaces libmysqlclient in the stack (and is used from PDO and mysqli as well). I'd be interested in a cite on the licensing i

Happens in PHP only if you enable Unicode regex handling via the /u modifier and are running libpcre 8.10 or later (which corresponds to PHP 5.3.4 and later, assuming you're using the bundled libpcre): http://3v4l.org/QD3k0

I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one reasonably major PHP framework with similar sorts of vulnerabilities: while PHP's JSON decoder should be safe (it can't create any objects other than stdClass objects, which are simple property

Most users (myself included) seem to use it primarily as a better pastebin than most of the pastebins on the Web. It's tied to your account (so you can manage previously posted Gists easily), it's versioned and available over git as an ad h

Agreed. I find the Web site itself to be quite poorly designed, too: I often find it difficult to parse out the pieces of information I want from an itinerary from the pieces I don't (such as automatic directions). Also, the permanent nag-b

I have a free Google Apps account with ~2GB of mail. I definitely saw the same symptoms for quite a while, which eventually got to the point of serious downtime last year. At some point, the last big downtime (over a day!) involved some sor

Unfortunately, the obvious answer (parse code in the C locale) breaks code that's in the wild and relies on PHP's undocumented locale-specific case-insensitivity. Obviously, case-insensitive identifiers are a bad idea, but PHP is stuck with

Even given that it was undefined behaviour to start with, it's the very first incompatible change listed at http://au2.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php — you'd hope a professional developer would at least glance at that docu

I think it's very dependent on the project. There really are times in php-src when you want to be able to go back a fair way, since the last significant change to function's implementation may well have been 10 years ago in the early 4.x da

Agreed on most counts: I don't really have an issue with loss of state when switching apps either. It probably varies depending on how many you have going. While I wouldn't sell the Transformer as a netbook replacement universally, it reall

PHP also ships the Olson database. It's just everywhere, and for good reason: it's brilliant work.
