Dogpatch Labs (36 East 12th Suite 200) and General Assembly (902 Broadway 4th Floor) both have a number of companies in them although they are really working spaces and not events (GA might have somethings going on).

I know photoshop really well but not from the interface design perspective (Fine Arts major in college concentrating on Photography so I know Camera RAW and the associated photo related tools really well). It always amazes me how many featu

If you don't mind doing a little surgery, I'd highly recommend doing the SSD swap yourself. I recently did it on my current gen MBP and it took about 5 minutes to do the actual swap and then another hour to get everything reinstalled. The b

Not sure how BASIC didn't make this list. Played around with it first on an old tandy my dad had and then got actually interested when I started learning ti-basic for the ti-86. First "modern" language was PHP, although I don't know if you

If you use the same binning strategy that is used for the iOS versions then the numbers aren't so far off. 87.4% of Android users are on 2.x which compares favorably to the 90% of iOS users on 4.x. Granted there are bigger differences betwe

Their example phone (the HTC Evo) has the worst port arrangement of any phone I've owned. Not only is the microUSB hard to figure out which way is up, the micro-HDMI port has a nearly identical shape as the microUSB, only upside down. I wou

Agreed - I think the construction of a double double animal style is not optimal for eating outside of a ~30 minute window after it's been produced. Even the drive home can be enough to make thing start to get soggy. It seems like the way t

One of the features noted in the 1.0 release notes was improved support for TrueCrypt volumes. Some quick searching of the dropbox forums ( http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=14332 ) seems to indicate the since TrueCrypt uses a block ci

The only real issue I've had with OhLife is that frequently I'm out grabbing dinner at 8pm (which I believe is the default), so to keep from forgetting I'll toss in a 1-2 sentence description of what happened and while it's better than noth

I'm not sure what I'd import the data into (at least right now), but it'd be nice if they offered an export functionality rather than just wholesale killing all the data. I don't use it all the time, but the followup feature was great and s

Probably even higher if you exclude people who have a home phone line and don't actually use it. With cables companies pushing their "triple play" packages, it was actually cheaper (counting the free add-ons that Time Warner) included to ge

Photoshop has actually implemented this since CS4 ( http://www.colblindor.com/2009/01/04/photoshop-cs4-accessibi... ). I would imagine that it's probably in other parts of creative suite as well.

Between this and adding priority inbox to the Android gmail app, Google has given some phenomenal holiday presents. This will be really nice to still be able to access (most of) the maps while on the subway. It'd be great if they gave you t

Isn't this the first non-beta build to have selective sync? Beyond selective sync, the last big upgrade I remember was in the .7 version (iirc) that added LAN sync. I think for most users, the key features have been in the earliest builds.

If we take encrypt to mean hash (which is probably what the implementation would most likely mean), this still has the same problem that server-side hashing does. Hashing is fast, GPUs can burn through creating rainbow tables at incredible

by andrewjshults 16y ago
Since the username is unique, I tend to use a sitewide seed. My understanding of the seed is to make rainbow tables useless, so adding any unique data should help with that. Granted, now that you can fire up a GPU instance on EC2 and genera

Regarding bcrypt - does it still make sense to do seeding on those since the key wouldn't be changing? I've also seen wrapping sha1/etc and looping it like 1000+ times to introduce a time factor in, but that doesn't seem like the best solut

by andrewjshults 16y ago
Ignore this and see tptacek's post about bcrypt instead. This is why my preferred hashing scheme is username + seed + password, so that even if user1 and user2 both use "password" as their password, they'll end up with different hashes. Tha

Not quite as advanced, but they did this in the past and there was a huge backlash against it, so they stopped doing it: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2008/01/facebook-ads-ma/ . From the wired article, it looks like there were a number o

Agreed - I think the biggest problem I see with the user name being hidden unless you click on the link is that it makes the comments a bit harder to follow in big threads (especially where people end up being referenced by name).

I can't recommend pivotal tracker enough. It's not a full featured bug/issue tracker like JIRA, but I think that's what I love about it (I also only really use it for projects with up to about 4/5 people on them). The interface is super eas

Glad to see that I'm not the only one using a printer box on top of a regular desk to make a standing desk. I'm pretty sure if we ever need to use this printer it's going to have elbow dents in it.

It seems that the new trend in "co-working" in NYC at least is towards startup focused spaces (e.g. Dogpatch Labs, General Assembly). Granted, the turn over may be even lower than the average co-working space (no numbers, but at Dogpatch NY
