Metadata is still data? Sure, it's not your password, but the title isn't "1Password Leaks Your Passwords". And it's not just when it's uploaded. It's when anyone has access to your keychain. The primary f

Just because it's old doesn't mean it's unmaintained.

That seems a bit unreasonable. How many people have as part of their tests "Put the computer to sleep and make sure we don't accidentally wake it up"? I could understand if they had some hardware or software with that specifi

Depending on what you are trying to "script" with it, Add-Ins for Office might be good to check out? They are more focused on user interaction rather than scripting currently, but may be useful? They are written using HTML and Jav

This isn't directed at this particular post, but more to HN in general. Why do I now constantly see "Tool XYZ (written in Go)" as though this is a hugely important aspect? I've never seen a "Tool ABC (written in Jav

I happened to see this in Bellevue, Washington today as well. I was in a rush though so I didn't get to stop and look at how it worked. I actually assumed it was just fishing line. It served the correct purpose though of catching my ey

The colours provide contrast. It makes it much easier for a doctor to find the parts they are interested in as quickly as possible. Not to mention the fact that doctors aren't always interested in the tiniest imperfections and may be l

What is the definition of "nearby users" in this context? It seems like someone can start something in Seattle for example, and then only 1 other person has seen it, but they are in France?

At the University of Edinburgh, the first programming class we do in first year is an introduction to functional programming, which uses Haskell as the main language (it helps that Phil Wadler is the lecturer). Lots of students take to it m

Just because there is no evidence doesn't mean that it should be ignored. Lots of things don't yet have evidence but it is still worth letting people know so that they are ready to take the appropriate action when the time comes.

What's the issue? They force a reset so there is no difference between giving a temporary password like this or a URL which is unique to them?

One of the main rants in this is about superfluous comments. I completely agree that comments which are superfluous should be removed. However all his examples are JavaDoc. Yes, in the code they are useless because of the variable declarati

Anyone want to explain what this is? It's a paywall and I'm not american so there is no way I'm paying for a subscription to it.

If we want Europe to be served better, then disallowing articles behind paywalls would be the best option to make me happy. Most non-americans won't have a membership to the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times. That would make me

This doesn't seem all that important. There are numerous bugs around most software out there which can cause it to crash. It's not good, but it's also not the worst one out there. If it was that bad, it would have been fixed

Signing the key is the important part. Proving that the key was in fact created by the people it was supposed to be. (I think they key does have to be kept secure, which could be done by using a one time pad. Theoretically unbreakable.)

They are not necessarily more insecure? And the great part about them is the fact that if an app goes rogue then its password can be revoked. Also, while they can access my data, they can't change data. No one can log in with an applic

Interesting idea. Just goes to show I don't know nearly as much Javascript as I should considering I'm stuck on level 3.

As a student in the class I feel I should point out what this is all about. As one of our assignments we were tasked with taking a required or recommended reading from one of our lectures and writing a blog post on it. This blog has all of
