Thanks; you're right. I read the 5 series general release notes as if it were for 5.2.

With this release the golang frontend catches up it'so Go version 1.4.2. EDIT: I'm wrong. That was GCC 5.1.

It sounds like you were using relatively loosely coupled AWS services. RDS doesn't change your programming interface to the database, it just hosts it. If you needed to, you could switch to a non-RDS Postgres server with only a configu

Right. That's sort of what I mean by "reliable data"; to commission an independent study or something similar.

I wouldn't call that a change of direction. More like patching WHOIS to make it more useful until we can replace it with something better.

I tend to think that if EV had a measurably positive impact on conversion, the CAs would have provided reliable data to back it up by now.

I'm sure they're using "$now" as a variable placeholder for the example, it's not meant to be read as a literal header. (In PHP variables begin with $.) They're not very clear on that though, so your point is

I'm fed up with these hardware vendors incessantly messing with software. Why doesn't Microsoft tighten up its OEM licensing terms to put an end to this kind of thing?

I'd like to see a better explanation of how this compares to the various Flannel backends ( https://github.com/coreos/flannel#backends ), and also how this would be plugged into a Kubernetes cluster.

This is an interesting question. Really, open source and standardization are not competitors. Ideally you'd have both at once; multiple open-source implementations of a standard specification. That said, there are times when the busine

> 2% is IE on XP, or XP in general? The latter sounds more likely to me. The sites I run get about 2.5% XP, but most of that population uses Chrome or Firefox. IE on XP accounts for only 0.3% overall.

Is there a properly digitized PDF available anywhere? I appreciate what http://thestandardsmanual.com/ is doing here, but their hover-photo-to-zoom thing is hard to read.

I agree. TAI is simpler and seems better suited to be the fundamental time counting mechanism at the OS level. There was an interesting HN thread along these lines back when the current impending leap second was announced: https:/&#x2

If I understand it correctly, the CSRF protection bypass is just an interesting consequence of the real culprit, which is an injection vulnerability in the data serialization format of the GA __utmz cookie.

When the service shuts down, all users will be required to go through the password recovery process, which is often weak. Come the think of it, that might be a good thought exercise for evaluating the strength of your account recovery proce
