I prefer to consume mailing lists via Gmane's NNTP gateway: http://gmane.org/ It's a surprisingly nice experience. You can really easily pull archives, nntp clients tend to handle threading well, etc.

I don't believe that's at all the intention. However, I am quite interested in this approach, and will be watching Webmaker closely as they roll out a similar scheme. If it works, I'd likely be in favor of transitioning the P

The email also contains a short, one-time-use password that you can use instead. Look at the email on your phone, enter the password on your laptop. I've wanted to move Persona in this direction for a while. I'm really excited to

There is a persistent scholastic "achievement gap" between races in the US, which jives with fiatmoney's comment: a sufficiently unscrupulous (racist!) employer could use standardized testing as a proxy for racial discrimin

True, but there are specific attributes that constitute classes legally protected against discrimination. Race is one of them. Intelligence is not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class I am not a lawyer, but i

Huh, this sounds like it could dovetail beautifully with FirefoxOS's attempt to blur the lines between "native apps" and web content. It'd probably be pretty easy to have these things show up in an "Ambient" sm

You're correct. For instance, there's a lot of ill-founded concern around the flight the patient took into the US. The CDC is doing its damnedest to quell fears around it -- the patient wasn't symptomatic until four days af

So, presuming this will all burst at some point... what would you do to protect yourself? What if you want to stay in software, even if it drastically shrinks, or wages contract? How did folks survive the DotCom bust?

I love the idea of a built-in hotkey for jumping to a random line across the entire codebase. Like a fuzzer, but for your understanding of your project. ...and now I really want to write a vimscript to do the same.

I'm not sure it's baseless. Mozilla's hand was recently forced on H.264, and the Chrome team is strong-arming Web Components through while explicitly disregarding standards bodies. Not to mention their own promise to avoid un
