I think there was a project to do that - and smooth out another few emacs quirks. I don't know how much it's being maintained though, but it was built by Xah Lee (afaik). http://ergoemacs.org/

I'm a vim user, not an Emacs user (though I have dabbled with emacs before). If you still use vim on the console, you can do a lot better. There's a reason why vim has support for multiple buffers. That you can keep multiple files open simu

It's called a "Soft Hyphen" http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/shy.html While it makes sense to make usernames consist of only alphanumeric characters (something people are used to - thanks to email), I don't see why you'd need to "sanitize"

If you're interested we could meet one-on-one for coffee or beer sometime. I'm aggressively trying to network and find a co-founder or a project as well :) My contact information is available through my profile.

If I know correctly there'll be a Startup Saturday in Bangalore at IIM-B. I'll be there to pitch and announce my product as well. :)

It was a very naive implementation and it clearly has several faults. Thanks for pointing some of them out. There isn't any solid use case, and we're all better off letting nginx/apache/$SERVER handle the encryption rather than doing it ins

The way I see it - forms, multipart-post, etc came first, and then people found a way to abuse this to create login forms. Actual "HTTP Authentication" does a Base64 encode to make it Unreadable to the naked eye. It would be nice if I could

That wasn't the reason for Hashing the password before sending it to the server. It's common knowledge that a lot of people use the same password for many lower-rung services. So if I send MD5 ( Password + Salt String), even if the attacker

You're right. I didn't assume that the initial page can be hijacked as well. My small hack was just to try and work around the problem, while I understand it's best to rely on proven solutions like SSL when things get serious. Thank you for

I have a basic proof-of-concept workaround to prevent Firesheep and other HTTP Sniffers from seeing data sent from Client -> Server and Server -> Client. I will announce it here when I get enough time to get it to properly work. Sin

This is one of the planned features for the next release. Users can say whether a tutorial works for them or not, and based on their User-Agent, the system will be able to guess whether it should work for a new user or not.

While it was well written, and with best intentions, I don't think there is any real significant "tips" to increase "productivity". All things aside these are just some best practices sprinkled with some examples. This is similar to when yo

Okay, here's a more concrete example. Let's say I have around 2000-3000 regular users. If there is some family emergency which is unplanned and requires me to be there, I won't be able to maintain anything for about three-four days, except

Can some experienced founders shed some light on how to handle situations when you or your team might not be available for some unavoidable reasons for some time.

I didn't _disagree_ with what you said. Yes there are certain people who have spent a good amount of their time working towards noble and challenging causes who have my utmost respect. I fully agree with your first point. By saying things l

"Intellectual pursuits are more respectable and rewarding than non-intellectual ones". Personally, I'd say it might be okay to run a little baseball team and make a few dozen people's lives more interesting. Even doing a phd in QFT, as you

It seems like a fantastic business opportunity for someone inside the country to "represent" the domain owners, and to deal with all the legality, technicality and resolve any conflicts that arise.

I don't think it's that capable of doing all that. As far as I understand, CouchDB does a "dumb" version-control type synchronization. Server A can copy all the data that Server B has and do it in a nice clean manner over HTTP. I can think

I have only one suggestion which helped me pick out the good ideas from the bad - to get external opinion. It's almost like humans have a self defense mechanism by which they can't adequately find flaws in their own selves and ideas. Thus,

The original comment author is clearly a well accomplished developer who has clearly understood every aspect of the given scenario and has thus told us - this is M$ technology, thus, it sucks. We should be using $deity_web_framework instead
