When I switched to SockJS, I tried Engine.io too, but I ended up going with SockJS mostly because Engine.io didn't expose the client's IP address to Node, which made IP banning impossible. It looks like it's still an issue, s

The general rule is: if there's a kun'yomi that fits, use the kun'yomi. Otherwise, use the on'yomi. Most commonly, multiple kanji next to each other are on'yomi and single kanji are kun'yomi.

Here's some that are different: 方法 (method) In Chinese: fāngfǎ "FONG-fah" In Japanese: houhou "HOE-hoe" 日常 (everyday, ordinary) In Chinese: rìcháng "ZI-tchong" In Japanese: nic

Well, considering that Chinese is mostly a linguistic isolate, that doesn't necessarily contradict the thesis. Japanese has a writing system and a lot of vocabulary borrowed from Chinese, and I know less about Korean but I think it als

Isn't that rayiner's point, though? rayiner argues that Microsoft should have shipped without a feature at all, rather than shipping with a broken feature (e.g. shipping Surface RT without Office rather than with broken Office), w

Game asked me to spell "devastation". At the "T", I said "T" and it first heard it as "K", and next heard it as "P" (I had a retry bought). To be fair, though, I was in a somewhat noisy room

The other difference is that Facebook is unlikely to change who controls "facebook.com/BigBrand". On the other hand, search phrases can be gamed.

History rewrites must be force-pushed and force-pulled, which would have been very conspicuous to everyone who had a checkout of the repository in question.

It's not that surprising when you consider that native English speakers routinely mix up "your" and "you're". Native Chinese just aren't used to thinking about pronoun gender when speaking.

Referring to Cmd as Super is sort of unnecessary when most of the shortcuts in question are specific to OS X and don't work on the other platforms with a Super key...

My best guess is that you accidentally searched Google News instead of the main Google search. The main Google search is giving me tencent.com as the first result and the Wikipedia article for Tencent as the second, followed by some news re

Well, the main difference between OS X's full-screen mode and Windows 8's Metro apps are that OS X's full-screen mode is opt-in. You can't get to it except by pressing the full-screen button in the top right of the windo

The article already addresses that concern: > You might suspect this is actually a clumsy attempt on Facebook’s part to get people to change their settings from “friends” to “public.” But it isn’t, at least for now: A Facebook spokesman

Yeah, I'll admit that other CloudFlare customers are likely subsidizing the amount of bandwidth I'm using. Funny thing - back when I was using 10 TB/mo, my site was hosted entirely on DreamHost's $9/mo shared hostin

My site serves 25 TB/mo, and it costs me $80/mo... $60/mo for a dedicated server, $20/mo for CloudFlare. The dedicated server only serves 1 TB of it, the other 24 TB is static assets cached and served directly by CloudFl

I don't know about spacer gifs, but you can use tables. Or fake tables using CSS. JavaScript definitely isn't required, even to vertically center things in IE6.

I think you missed the part where he said "In the version where one prisoner is taken in per day", in which case it _is_ possible to know if you are the first to go into the switch room.

I'm confused. What does it do? "Searches Google and !bangs DuckDuckGo." What does this mean? It's the equivalent of a DDG !g search? Isn't that exactly the same as just searching Google?

What about something more democratic? After a button is input, wait until a button has been said in chat N times (for some N>1) before pressing that button. It wouldn't solve the other problems, but it would make it so trolls wouldn

He actually summarizes and links to Lockhart's Lament in the first six paragraphs. More interesting is his link near the end, about how he teaches graph theory to college students: http://jeremykun.com/2011/06&#x2F

It also won't work because <center> controls text alignment and will have no effect on the alignment of a div (it will center its contents, though) (also this isn't entirely true, centering text will also center divs in IE6

`a.class` is explicitly legal in ES5, which is the spec that explicitly allows trailing commas in the `[,,,].join(", ")` question, so it's at least a bit confused about which version of JavaScript it's quizzing.

I disagree; I think the biggest problem with Windows 8 has always been its poor usability: specifically, its discoverability. It was really bad back in the times of the developer preview. You booted into the lockscreen, and all you saw was

For most sites, Chrome should do this by default and the default keyword is just the site's URL. So simply: rapgenius.com<tab>search terms autocomplete is supported so you can also just do ra<tab>search terms
