It is a Git issue. In any Git repo, you can spoof anybody's name or email. All Github did here is show his Github account instead of e-mail. That doesn't really make it worse.

So this is a Github feature, which might be useful in some cases, I get that. The good news here is that it only goes one level deep, i.e., it does not automagically show up on Linus' account in any way. This also has been an issue wit

Within a year, this is the third out of the four bookstores I frequented as a child, that have gone out of business. Those are Bookworm CP, Landmark in Lucknow, Fact & Fiction. Only one remains, and that guy refuses to give a single rup

While I agree that there are more critical and fundamental problems that need to be solved by us, not all of those problems could be solved by a profit seeking corporation. Also, a lot of such problems should be kept out of hands of peopl

But that's not what their conclusion is. Their conclusion is that people think that they aren't using Internet when they're using Facebook. This makes it sound like these users don't get the concept of Internet. While

While we can jump to being disgusted with Facebook, looking at the countries they surveyed it is more likely that they did not communicate their questions the right way. This could either happen due to language barrier, or due to lack of un

Yes, but the typical consequences that arise out of that do not fit with design goals of Go. Just off the top of my head - boxed types, for example lead to Java-style inheritance patterns. This sits awfully with composability and readabilit

Russ Cox said this year that generics aren't left out because of political reasons or design choice. They are left out because of technical constraints which are: - Generics in current form won't work across the board with all par

tl;dr - No change in language, one minor consistency oversight fixed. Big changes on implementation, including compiler being bootstrapped.

This is not rolling back the clock. Here are some important points to the debate: 1. Windows 10 users are upgrading from 7 and 8.1, these versions were heavily shipped with bloatware. If it took away default browsing from Firefox, it also t

I agree on multi-factor point. Recently, some apps even grab the SMS automatically and authenticate. I was surprised early this week, an app actually grabbed my MasterCard Securecode OTP, automatically filled it in and pressed submit. So de

I hope these services have an opt-out. I know, I know, this will get infinitely more accurate at an arbitrary point in the future, and that I won't have complaints then. But I get screwed constantly while travelling to other countries,

Their Storage and CDN pricing is extremely impressive. 8 cents a GB entry for US-based datacentre for transfer. 6 cents for China-based. 5 cents a GB for storage, almost flat. If nothing else, I think global startups would at least find t

On Windows 10 you can opt-out as well. In fact, using Microsoft account is an opt-in while installing. You can just make a local account and certain features would be off by default. If you try to access them it will remind you that you nee

Because Facebook had it from the beginning. Nobody wants to put their real legal name on their YouTube comments they've made in last 8-10 years.

If you're willing to learn about patterns, jQuery and Underscore.js are excellent places to look at. If you're looking for something harder and unconventional, see React source. It also has some low hanging fruit for pull requests

I'm not sure why it is repeated over and over that 12k is small sum of money. 12k can easily pay off 2-3 months rent, server costs, marketing stuff, even a few flights. That's mental peace for 12 weeks to build something with 100%

I took a year off college to build a startup. I went back after the year cause we got acquired. But regardless, I learnt more about building products and leading a good life in that year than rest of my 24 breathing years. If your school po

Could they operate as small business and/or flip the company as a running small business? I imagine home cleaning is sort of loyalty space, where they must have a good number of regulars? It's also interesting that they are managi

To me this list reads as: 1. Don't do attacks all systems are vulnerable to. (DDOS, Brute force) 2. Don't fuck with our customers. 3. Don't fuck with our employees. Sounds very fair for a company with hundreds of people hangi

What are the chances that imgur is throwing this image as an exploit prevention technique? Maybe there were 3000+ times the author triggered the rate limit, or some other metric? The next one called "White Line" appeared 2000+ tim

An spf record only helps preventing emails sent from phishing servers. It is inherently meaningless to spam filters if the trust with the domain owner itself is misplaced.

First, it's about triggers. You are not allowed to carry guns on an airplane. "But I didn't shoot anybody." You didn't, but the people who do, carry guns. It's a negative trigger. Second, when a technology beco

I once worked at a non-tech startup. It was a startup, it was less than 50 people, it catered to film industry rather than tech. What I learned was this -- giving your software away for free will probably give you bad rep with businesses. I
