According to the spec, YAML 1.2 is: "The primary objective of this revision is to bring YAML into compliance with JSON as an official subset." http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html If I understand it correc

This is the Ruby on Rails Security mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rubyonrails-security you can view it in the browser but unlike with a vanilla website, you can also receive notifications via an email.

Thanks so much for the LDT link, it's exactly what I was looking for (and thought impossible). I can't speak for the GP, but my problem with ACE et al. is that they replace the textarea with their own HTML structure (e.g. a div for every li

It would and they should do it. But the whole thing would still be fundamentally insecure. Read the link submitted by raphinou: http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/

They seem to be using TLS, but yeah the users have to trust Google (which hosts their jQuery js), Mozilla (which hosts their Persona js) and of course the admins of yithlibrary.herokuapp.com itself. If any of these gets compromised, the cra

According to the docs, Quintus does support mouse and touch input. On my PC, the demo is controlled by keyboard only. Presumably, they wanted to make the code as small as possible so they didn't put touch controls in. http://html5quintus.c

If I recall correctly, they have some sort of cookie-related bug (feature?) in G+ and Google Groups. If you clear your cookies or open the link in incognito mode, you should be able to see it without having to log in.

I think this really depends on the point of view. It is a back door because the user (even a sophisticated one) has no visibility into what's being installed (all the information the user sees is being controlled by Microsoft and the user h

I think that yes, he means the software update. I'm afraid you're mistaken on where the defaults lie, though. An out-of-the-box Windows will download and install the software and then automatically reboot the PC. You have to explicitly chan

Except for Rust which takes you directly to rust-lang.org. I actually like the idea though. No language is perfect and people do seem to be a bit too sensitive of their favourite languages.

The submission's title is very misleading. According to the article (titled "UK begins three-parent IVF debate") they are starting a debate on the issue and seeking comments from the people. They plan to send a report to the UK government i

Sadly, the post provide little content besides showing the favicons Google used in the past. The icon itself's not even new -- the post mentions it's the same icon they've been using on the mobile devices already. Really, all the post is sa

I don't mind paying for the software. If it ends up being as cool as it looks, I'll happily part with the cash. But I would love the promise of open source and not open core. Especially since the current description is so vague. "some of th

Regardless of Zed Shaw (the author of Lear Python The Hard Way) says, I think that Dive Into Python is a great book and one definitely worth reading. I love Mark Pilgrim's writing and I've found the book quite helpful when I started. http:

That's been my experience at least. But remember that this is very subjective and different people will have different habits. It's quite possible that there are shortcuts that get crippled by the Dvorak layout -- I'm just not aware of them

by TomasSedovic 15y ago
Yeah. Adjusting to typing in Dvorak took me considerably more time and effort that getting used to the new shortcuts. Luckily, Dvorak isn't that bad for this. For instance, 'j' (down arrow) and 'k' (up arrow) are still next to each other, i

Pleasure to meet you. Not sure how much passion you require. I'm not exactly head-over-heels with vim, but I have been using it for about 7 years and dvorak for about 3. Anything in particular you want to ask?

Take a look at the second line in the `apply` definition[1]: self.eval @env[fn][2], Hash[*(@env[fn][1].zip args).flatten(1)] It's triggered when the `fn` is not callable, i.e. when we pass in lambda: [:lambda, [:x], [:car, [:

Heh, the reason I used Bandcamp instead of iTunes is that it runs on Linux and that they actually want my money :-). At least in some countries (mine included) you can't in fact buy music or video from iTunes. They won't accept your paypal

I didn't know Bandcamp but a few days ago I wanted to buy the Bastion soundtrack. The Bandcamp link was the first hit on Google and it was linked from the game's official page so I went there. I could listen to all the songs without restric

There's some serious spinning going on in that article. The asthma study showed that (in that particular case) the placebo treatment did not work at all. The patients reported feeling as good as with using the real treatment, but it did not

I read the "GOOG's dearly" part as "dear to Google" not "developed by Google". Google did use Perforce in the past and they still do, probably. I think that the GP used the phrase correctly, but not being a native English speaker myself, I'

Sigh, you're right. Thank's for the correction. I guess it's true that nothing good happens after 2AM (my local time).
