In addition to what sister comments said, it's also a matter of your threat model. While SHA-1 might no longer be sufficient protection against targeted attacks by powerful attackers, it's still good enough to protect against a ra

PHP does this (with a warning). I'm not sure if this should be an argument for or against. <?php $foo = array(); echo $foo['a']['b']['c']; // not an error

It's true that the average user uses maybe 20% of Word's features, and Google Docs have 50% of them. The problem is that each person uses a different 20%. One feature I personally needed and missed was to generate a table of con

That's this keyboard design, not the keyboard layout. On full-size keyboards and many laptops it looks like this: http://cdn1.expertreviews.co.uk/sites/expertreviews/files/im... I actually go put of my w

That is an ancient bug report not related to the current mobile interface ("MobileFrontend"). I think it predates that by a year or two.

There is an old proposal to use it, but it seems that not much effort was put into it. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T34618 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Partial_... Pers

I believe it's simply because no one has yet put in the effort necessary to start using it. It might be a conscious decision, but if it was discussed anywhere, I completely missed that. (English Wikipedians in general are very "te

You can embed statements from a Wikidata item in the corresponding article on Wikipedia using the {{#property:…}} parser function. This is largely unused on the English Wikipedia, but some language versions already use this for their infobo

The article states that the previous results didn't involve any subjects at all, but a "fake lower leg in a miniature wind tunnel with or without hair glued onto it".

Perhaps you could commit the unit test in a separate commit, then `git cherry-pick` it as a part of the script?

"ś" is input in Polish using AltGr+s (or Ctrl+Alt+s), but AltGr is not labeled as such on Polish keyboards (it's simply the right Alt key, and people will refer to it as such when asked).

Ram-Man is a human account. The same person operates the Rambot bot account. You can click on their usernames on the history page to see their user pages, which usually describe these things.

You can embed the images in the CSS as data: URIs, preferably automatically as part of the build process, and get the best of both worlds.

I think that's the point. My browser (Opera 12) says "Unable to complete secure transaction" and "The certificate has been revoked by its issuer. It is no longer valid. In the worst case it may be used by criminals for f

There is actually a page that explains the differences between Wikipedia, Wikimedia and MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipmediawiki . Naming is hard.

Ugh, I didn't realize :/ That sucks. But as the sibling poster says, Thinkpads are at least nicely upgradeable.

Thinkpads T500-series (T500, T510, T520, T530 and variants) and their W counterparts are 15' (or larger) and have no numpads. The new ones are pretty expensive too, though.

A good thing about SVG icons is that it's possible to provide a PNG fallback: http://pauginer.tumblr.com/post/36614680636/invisible-gradie... (apparently people in OP's post did this too).

map, fold and filter can approximate the pipeline pretty well. Personally I only use shell scripting when I actually want to record a set of commands I ran (or, well, when working in a shell); in all other cases I whip out proper tools. Her

I'd say this would be worse. "many experts" is a weasel word, implying an authority behind the statement, but providing no proof of it. And "trust me" is at the least plain and honest.

I almost upvoted because I thought this was a joke and it seemed funny. Thankfully I scrolled to the part where they mention USB inside the "Pencil".
