Lyft didn't participate either. Switching to them because of this strike is irrational.

So you're saying that the police antagonized people, and that made them so angry that they set a limo on fire? That doesn't ring true to me. It makes much more sense the other way: the police were there because they were needed, t

I think your analysis isn't totally fair because it ignores the public's varying appetite for console gaming. Maybe it's better to consider each console relative to its generation? If you do that, it becomes clear that Ninten

If you're going to play devil's advocate, you should read the indictment first and see what the devil is being accused of. Here are some damning allegations: 1. They lied to the courts to cover up the fact that they were, in fact,

I've been looking to switch away from namecheap, too. Their AJAXy UI feels more flaky/buggy than what they had 5-10 years ago. Gandi.net is probably what I'll move to. It's quite popular with their users, and only slight

I'm all for good testing, and for encouraging programmers to think more carefully, but most of these items strike me as needlessly pedantic. My goal is to build software that works in practice. If I have the time to build in edge cases

Interesting! Apache Tika is the "classic" way of doing this, and it supports many dozens of formats. Is this meant to address certain needs that Tika doesn't?

Hey Hackers! Brooce is a language-agnostic job queue I made in Go. I built it because I like to work on personal projects in a variety of languages, and I want to be able to use the same job queue regardless of what language I'm writin

I own a small web hosting company, and I'd like to tell you that it's more complicated than that. Nearly all of our chargebacks are the result of criminals paying with stolen credit cards, and then using the accounts as a platform

The hashtag #KillAllMen is an active phenomenon on twitter, tumblr, and facebook. Feminists make excuses for it. Here's an ArsTechnica article on climate change[1] where the very first comment advocates the murder of those who disagr

I used to be involved with this sort of thing, and it's actually pretty interesting stuff. There are enormous open source projects, operating largely out of public sight, that have recreated the WoW server backend in most of its glory.

You're right that many things are insecure. Of all the services people use on a daily basis, Gmail is probably among the best-defended. It still has security problems, though, and I want it to get better and not use the lack of quality

Yes, the private investigation service you used to lookup the SSN would have your payment trail, unless you used a prepaid visa. But how does that help? All the target knows is, his phone has been forwarded and his Gmail password changed. E

It sounds like the lion's share of their effort is going towards blocking attacks that prey on users' lack of knowledge. Infected email attachments and phishing are both examples of this that they brought up in the talk[1]. It wor

I've used goamz in the past. It's good code, but I always had problems with lack of connection reuse on S3. Apparently coaxing S3 into not closing KeepAlive connections is non-trivial, and with goamz they'd always get closed.

You know what's really scary? Gmail is held up as the pinnacle of email security, but they let you reset your password by proving ownership of just a phone number! So much for 2FA. So much for strong passwords. All I have to do is ob
