I can confirm this setup works quite well. Initially it was a bit hit/miss whether it would unlock, but they clearly fixed something, it's much better now.

Before Apple put the address book contacts behind permissions, facebook downloaded the entire thing, without asking, to their servers. I know this, because I make a very clear distinction between work and non-work data, facebook is non-work

Exactly what I thought. The CSS make a visual indentation, but carries no more semantic than the data structure does already. In fact, if it did, I would consider the HTML broken. <div class=comment.level1> ... <&#x2F

Is it just me that think "JS" and "parallelism" is a bad idea? I was "stuck" in Java-land for over 10 years, along came NodeJS and saved me. In no small part was the absence of threads part of the success. Duri

And even more fun, Yoga share a lot of philosophical roots with Samkhya, a school of Hinduism that doesn't exist anymore. Samkhya came about at the same time as Buddhism and is also atheist, or at least doesn't concern itself with

The effort to prove a certificate is being changed for a good reason should be with the site owner, so I perhaps the standard could build in some sort of sign-by-previous-cert combined with mandatory information fields. The certificate pinn

That's a bit different though, because you must pin an issuing key, not the actual cert.

I guess if NSA/FBI forces google to hand over the CA keys, they kan orchestrate undetectable MITM-attacks. I wonder why browser won't automatically store the fingerprint for every HTTPS-certificate it encounters and throw up a fuz

I have no love for most the major CAs I've interacted with, but this feels wrong, though I can't quite pin point why. Perhaps just a general feeling that all the internet eggs are being put, one by one, in one single alphabet bask

you mean you want the materialized view to refresh automatically? or what does "incremental" mean in this context? (sorry I'm no DB-person)

HAHAHA! One of my first projects were to interact Java with some Oracle CORBA. OMG. That was actually worse than EJB Entity Beans that followed.

I think he means transactions not being accounted for properly, not necessarily for illegal goods. At least my experience of India is that there are quite a lot of deals being made that never show up in any government tax books.

"java" and "cool" in the same sentence doesn't compute for me. I die a little inside every time I'm forced to launch eclipse and work with The Old Stuff. Actually after working with java from 97-07, I was so si

Sanation: a populist political movement for "moral sanation (healing) of the Polish body politic". It's nationalistic, anti-democratic, authoritarian and was gagging/killing/imprisoning the opposition.

Apple owns the hardware, OS and distribution, they can do whatever they want. Your signature is neither here nor there. The only thing it can do do is show Apple you compiled the code. There's no way you as the dev or the end user can

There's a difference. You wouldn't expect some random person off the street to understand this algorithm even when expressed in simplified pseudocode. Similarly there's no reason to expect a random person off the street to un

Well. I'm not english native, I think I mean precision. :) For me great writing is to convey a specific thought succinctly. A lot of the writers mentioned here aren't expressing something radically new like Plato or Descartes, b

No I would never make that leap. I believe social sciences in particular have suffered from over simplifying human behaviour to reduce it down to something that appears testable and that has resulted in silly predictions/claims. But

I would say objective reality is dubious, and wonder what claims do "survive testing"? On the one hand, human behaviour, culture and influences is extremely fragmented, to the point where I wonder what is it we're trying to m

But if we apply that thought to computer science. Would you argue we'd better stick to using Basic, because the concepts are easier than say Haskell? Those new to the field would not appreciate why something is immutable and monadic, t

A postmodernist would challenge the very notion that "empirical proof" is required to back up any claim and point to the numerous flawed studies in "soft" areas like sociology, ethnology and economics, where a questionna

I think the notion that the scientific community is mostly "intelligent and idealistic" is a stretch. The commercial pressures are as intense there (if not more?), as everywhere else in society. I also think this has given rise to

Why doesn't git upon commit ensure the sha-1 is unique by having some nonce as part of it? I guess if you only work with rebases instead of merges, it should be possible, right?
