   I wonder if this means Dart will be available in Opera, since it's based on Chromium now.

   First impressions: the background image that took ~20 seconds to load - with white text on a white background that slowly revealed - it felt a little like 56k internet and I nearly left the page. I'd consider setting an alternative bac

   I'm not 100% on whether this is serious or not, but what the hell: 1. My recent installs of node have required compiling from source to get anything remotely up-to-date, however there are packages for both, 2. Composer with the Packagi

   In PHP I tend to do something like: dd(__DIR__.'/'.__FILE__.':'.__LINE__); Which prints out the current script and line, and then stops execution (where dd is var_dump+exit).

   Implementation wise, it uses 75 image frames that are displayed according to percentage of the page scrolled. Before I looked, I thought this might be a HTML5 <video> controlled using the scroll events - wonder if that would be feasib

   I've been turned off by the Angular docs (feels like how I found API refs intimidating when I started coding) - can anyone recommend an alternative or book?

   I think it's a pretty good example to show that it supports the same embeddable-ness of PHP (which is great for prototyping).

    Agree, this is probably premature. However the homepage does advertise 13.10 so it's probably imminent: > Ubuntu Server 13.10 with OpenStack Havana, are you ready?

    I seem to remember reading an article about people doing this at Google(?) in a pretty poor state. Edit: I think it was this one: http://www.buzzfeed.com/reyhan/tech-confessional-the-googler...

    Not necessarily want, but I've come across it just by installing a node project into my home folder on XP, something along the lines of: C:\Documents and Settings\____._______.________\project\node_modules\package\src\tests\somelib\hel

    We've only just found the user management link in account settings, how long has this been available?

    This is understandable however. If you get a 401 response the person knows that you have a private repository with that name, they just don't have access to it. A small information leak.

    The logic happens server-side but the user's timezone is posted to /content (so I'm guessing yes).

    I wonder if they'd allow the "name at the bottom of the site" to be a link, given that the grand prize here is personal exposure (as well as a warm fuzzy feeling for helping the project I guess).

    "29.0.1547.76 m" works fine for me (must be the 'm'). Just takes a bit of time to load the view-source.

    As it says at the bottom of the article, it's unreleased until they can make it more generic.

    Hi Keith - sorry ignore that, the issue was on my end. Our firewall likes to eat cloudflare requests for some reason.

    Seems your assets aren't available over SSL which is making the page render plainly. Looks like a good idea - GitLab CI recently added this to their CI component (builders run separately from the marshalling tool).

    Had the same experience (also UK). At some point, there was a service to exchange to BTC via Barclays Pingit [0] - it wasn't working when I tried a while ago but seems open now. [0]: https://blockchain.info/wallet/

    Ethics aside, this is a pretty large oversight on the part of DHL. All you need to stop the incrementing is to require a second param such as the recipient postcode or customer surname. Plenty of other companies get this right.

    One might be useful to help extract the extent of the surveillance - one might incorrectly assume certain information is untrackable for example.

    I suspect they may have taken the (good) decision to spare an extra month before release just for polish and QA, and then marketing wanted to publicise that as "we're really doing it properly this time". If that's the ca
