I work from home and hate it. I know that working from the comfort of your home is supposed to be the holy grail of workspaces but the thing I miss the most about working in an office is working in an office and being able to come home and

I found that one a bunch of times in my searches. As you can see from my solution link (above) it turns out the issue was that the term 'book' and 'app' did not appear in the title, despite being central to the meaning of the post.

Don't you have this problem with any 3rd party email client that doesn't use OAuth? With bigger projects it's going to be pretty improbable that a malicious commit will get pushed to the trunk, but still, with small projects and hacks like

I wonder too about the leaks we haven't seen yet either, but at the same time, wouldn't WikiLeaks want to release the most scandalous and head-line grabbing info first? That would go a long way towards vindicating their position in the publ

As someone who was recently on the job market, I will say I wish more employers did this as well. As a candidate it gives you much more information about what you will actually be doing at the company too. There is just as much buzzword p

A year ago I would have down-voted a thought like this, but every time something develops with this story, it sounds more and more like a movie plot and less like a real story.

I feel like a better approach for that sort of solution would be to use a hash-tag based (#) tagging system. English has so many tenses and people mis-spell things anyways that basing your search purely off of the text of the commit messag

I'm finding with my standing desk that having good shoe support and a good soft carpet/pad to stand on is quite important for that very reason. It does help me to walk around more. I tend to move around quite a bit more than when I was ju

I'm actually less concerned about Google having my data than, say Facebook. Google already has a ton of my data, but they don't sell it off to third parties. They practically define the analytics and targeted advertising. Facebook's prob

I would argue though that the torque example is a particularly problematic symbol conflict as any equations involving torque are by definition going to include many, many references to the circle constant. Yes there are other symbol confli

Good timing on this Tweet. I had just downloaded Emacs with the hope of trying it out as a Notepad++ replacement. Think I'll save it for when I have more time to play around with it.

I'm not sure if it would be even possible to collect analytics on this, but I think a real danger to Facebook could be that while people may not leave the site, the confusion over what shared information is shared with whom might cause user

This line of discussion needs to be seen far more often. I think the biggest problem that the anti-Facebook crowd has is that they've allowed the news narrative to be structured in terms of privacy, when it is far more about personal contr

It is always technically 'possible,' to figure out how to make Facebook's privacy settings match yours, the fact that there are forum posts and blog posts like yours show that Facebook on some level is doing it wrong with privacy. Granted

I think (hope) that Twitter has found (and realizes that it has found) a niche for itself in the 'what is happening now' part of the web. If they can focus on this, they might have a shot at becoming successfu.

I fully expect wall posts to start opening up significantly this year. That is where most of the 'real time' information is and given their need to imitate twitter, it would not surprise me in the least if we start seeing less privacy here

I wanted to write up a blog post on how to manage your privacy settings, but I couldn't figure out myself how to do it and that was what pushed me to finally deactivate the account.
