Keychain can store credit cards and secure notes too. As for the rest, I'm not sure. Other than passwords, I only use keychain for storing SSH keys.

Are you going to be using your Apple hardware? I've had little success getting most Linux distros to function well on my MacBook, although I've heard Fedora 20 works quite well [1]. [1] http://mattoncloud.org/2013&

I'm beginning to get sick of websites hijacking the scrollbar. Is there a way to disable it? When I tried to scroll down, it kept freezing/locking up and began to flash rapidly as Safari tried to scroll down and the JavaScript for

16 GB. That was enough to load it into RAM, it was a matter of the "right tool for the right job". MySQL handles large datasets easily, probably because it's not trying to display all the thousands of columns x millions of ro

+1 for Pages. I once sent a .pages document to a friend on Linux. I was genuinely surprised when he could read it. Turns out .pages is actually a zip file, that when extracted, has a PDF inside. Pages has always scaled fine for me, however

Friends & family members don't ask any questions which is why I posted "people are quite compliant of that request". Yes, there's plenty of CCTV footage of me, I suppose the difference is there's no connection.

>We are slowly rolling out HSTS across the entirety of Facebook's infrastructure. The fact that m.facebook.com does not send this header currently is by design. Why not? For browsers that don't support HSTS, the header will be

You have a point. You could find someones profile by entering their username or their ID but that's impractical. After thinking about it, ultimately it doesn't make a lot of sense; if you have a Facebook account, you should be abl

In what way is it self-destruction and hatred?

For a moment I thought I was on 4chan or something. The fact you create a throwaway account suggests your just a troll out to provoke a reaction. I don't do either of those 3.

To be fully honest, I'm not entirely sure. I don't like the idea that photos of me end up on the web and stay archived forever. Something about that is chilling. In a post-PRISM world, I suppose my way of pushing back is simply as

I go a step further, I generally ask not to have photos taken. Other than pictures of me as a child, my family and friends actually have no recent photos of me. For the most part, people are quite compliant of that request.

I would be horrified that people have to go to those lengths to preserve privacy but then again, we're dealing with Facebook . I'm barely surprised, all I can think of is "That's a good idea. Why didn't I think of

I'm not sure if that's what he meant. A 'focus' on UX is always a good idea. People find encryption scary and a project that makes crypto easy and accessible is important for it's adoption. Of course security is als

While I recognise this question might be abrasive, I feel compelled to ask it. Why does this belong on Hacker News? This isn't technology. This isn't legal news (i.e. software patents). This is in no way related to Hacker News.

Like with most Google features, I don't see it yet. Recently, a tip was posted to HN that showed Google having a timer that could be activated by a search command; another feature that simply doesn't work for me. I've tried b

I imagine this is caused by Go being so young.

I have that personal gripe about Go's documentation. Compared to C# and even PHP, Go's documentation is very short, often being a single line. For a beginner, it's difficult to learn Go this way.[1] Since taking it up, I&#x27

I can barely do the most basic tasks in programming and you wrote an OS in high school? Bravo.

As someone who has never touched C/C++ or managed their own memory, can you explain how other allocators work and how the performance differs from malloc?

My guess is it's a rigged random number generator. When the OS calls RdRand to get a seed value, it could be predictable by the NSA in some way. That allows them to more easily break crypto done on the machine.

Looks like everything is still up though. What is being DDOS'd exactly?

I really don't understand why dl.google.com isn't just running Nginx or some web server. It's just serving files. Why does it need software written in house?
