I imagine they run ephemeral, sandboxed chrome instances in a cgroup that limits resources like memory and cpu time. The chrome comic back when it was first launched announced it had headless capabilities, and they've gotten better at sandb

The 1.4 release is still a ways off and hasn't been branched off from the master; chances are this will be in 1.4.

My usual way of interacting with any svn repository is to run the entire history through git-svn, a command which takes all of five seconds to issue. There are a few extra niceties to consider when the switch is permanent, like setting up a

Actually, @{upstream} has a special meaning, and is a refname for the current branch's upstream. For example: # commits that are on the current branch but not upstream git log @{upstream}.. # commits that are upstream but not on the

A Picasa scan would work much better, insofar as it would, in fact, work. What images I've saved have the site's autogenerated numeric filenames, which from citricsquid's report would get ignored by this thing's piss-poor heuristics.

The point was, snarfing $20 every time someone feels insecure is not an honest business model.

Markets only exist when some regulator sets them up and enforces the terms. Right now it would be very hard to pay for an unwilling donor and there is a high risk for everyone involved. If this were made legal, the assumption would become t

Maybe the grandparent was stupid to mention "untrusted" websites. When you visit hundreds of websites per day, but stick to one browser, it's obvious that the responsibility for not breaking client security lies in the browser (and its plat

Dual-CPU? You can get a dual-core or more for far cheaper than that. Look to AMD Phenom IIs for the middle-range, you get better performance for the buck especially if you factor in the motherboard. Besides being faster, this kind of mach

I'll plug pwdhash — https://pwdhash.com/ — which will turn a password of six characters or more into a site-specific password that passes these requirements.

Microsoft has in fact done the same sort of thing in Windows Update, though it denied it. Certainly nothing as brazen as a keylogger, but in 2003 it was caught phoning home a list of all installed software, and hardware identifiers, in an S

Would anyone liberate the research behind this? It's obviously publicly-funded research, and I'd like to know more about what the authors mean by modularity. Also, I'm curious what they mean by the predator/prey analogy, when the population

Right, it's a protection racket. Except that software isn't anyone's turf in particular, there are no gang wars to keep the troll count low, so you'll end up paying, paying, and paying again until you are big enough to spend a lot on IP law

Because the industry norm for consumer gadgets is short product cycles, with the production of terrible quality code that doesn't see much maintenance after the release. Most users won't notice. Even a "quality" product like the iPhone was

Unfortunately they are going against the famously unethical and privacy-eroding facebook, which has a real-names policy and the bans to show for it (also, NSA alumni on the board). And besides “the competitor already does it”, here is what

lxml's default parsers are good for xml, atom and xhtml; for html5 and html tag soup, lxml.html.html5parser (which depends on html5lib) is the way to go. For feed tag soup, feedparser still uses BeautifulSoup internally.

A suitable font is Symbola: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ The Apple Emoji font uses a non-standard extension (png images in an 'sbix' table), so it can't be used outside of Lion / iOS at the moment.

redo and ninja are replacements for make. They have a dependency graph and build it. Tool integration, configuration, feature detection, lifecycle (install, release, deploy…) have to be handled by something else.

Custom-made build systems tend to break conventions that are useful to packagers (destdir) or home-directory installs (prefix) or developers (ccache, though your example isn't guilty of the last one). I'd rather build something that handles

One deletionist got a clue. Nice! But the process or the practice is still broken, and there's a lot more good articles being lost. Hopefully someday we'll have a better wiki (my wishlist: long-term archival, forking, mergeing and fuzzy lin
