It's interesting that a domestic law should stop "foreign-based thieves". It's for the first time that I see it repeated so often - according to the MPAA the law is meant only to attack the pirates abroad and save domestic jobs. This should

So the argument is that DHS is ineffective and wasteful? I thought the article would talk about how DHS is dangerous because it systematically dismantles your freedom in exchange for omnipresent surveillance and faux security. Then again, I

As an admin of a largish forum I find these attempts to sort people and their output algorithmically very interesting. Could low entropy of a string be reasonably substituted by a short length as a symptom of low quality? What mathematical

Wow, Der Spiegel says there are about 5,500 bombs found in Germany every year, about 15 a day. And it's estimated there are still about 100,000 more. http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,801397,00.html

Find my porn? Why, it's right there in the folder called Porn next to Movies and Music. And not only does my SO know, we talk about what appeals to us. To be honest about it to each other and above all to myself belongs to a healthy and ope

Your belief is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You won't change because you think it's not even worth trying. And it works both ways - if you believe you can change in a meaningful way, you will. See my post elsewhere in this discussion with tw

It depends on what you understand under "self-help books". The generic, feel-good ones, sure, those are trash that usually doesn't work (they still might work given the specific situation). The well researched, written by scientists and psy

Use LabJS [1] or a similar library to load both CSS and JS in async, not blocking the loading of other assets. Edit: Sorry, I misread that you're talking about parsing time. LabJS helps only with the loading time. Does it really take so lon

Being labeled as NSFW on HN is for me the more interesting part of the link. Don't you dare visit the page. There is at least one underage girl in underwear and a pair of developed female breasts. Also a naked toddler! Is it SFW if you know

Disregarding the strange EULA, why are they calling themselves a student startup , when the founders got their master's degrees 20 years ago and it's nearer to a corporate purchase guide than a startup (as in groundbreaking, repeatable, sc

A general tip is not to have a negative goal. A better general tip is to have a positive goal. See what I did there? :) Instead of reducing sugar in your diet, go for increasing the good stuff - vegetables, berries etc.

Use Dropbox, sync the DB to a flash drive aka use a more robust solution than a smartphone, or get used to it that encrypted passwords may mean there will be situations where you wont have access to them.

No, it's not a strong password just because it looks like it (which is the point of the latest articles). You choose from a small group of words (animals) and do a naive character substitution that specialized programs can (and do) anticipa

by Revisor 15y ago
You are afraid that you won't have access to a strong password in case of emergency and therefore you choose to use a weak password? That doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't a better solution be to use a password manager and always have a cu

You are poorly duplicating a password manager, which is an encrypted DB of passwords plus some UX goodness (autotype, file storage, notes, URLs, folders etc)

Is it usual in games to perform prediction in single-player? Also interesting note regarding readability of bitwise operations at the end of the Networking section. Edit: Found more about this exact substitution on Wikipedia, of all places.

It's a simple price segmenting. No one says the axis of projects makes financial sense on the expense side. It makes sense in distinguishing the type of customer. Ironically it's nicely illustrated by the employee/owner of a web agency comp
