You don't have to rely on Github, you can use Github Enterprise which gives you a little bit more control and allows you to run it on your own servers. That said, my understanding is that authentication even for Github Enterprise is do

Instead of not communicating it. What if you block people from viewing something else as a consequence of receiving a request. Eg there is a public mailbox folder that can be checked by anyone online and there is an email filter that direct

People must always have a choice to vaccinate or not, forcing it upon them will do nobody any good because it will only increase the distrust of government. That said, if you don't vaccinate, you are a threat to the public and I do t

Nitpick: I don't think there's anything wrong with a closed development model and open sourcing the result, but IMO it's not open source until the code is available . If you're starting a project with this intention, I

I see that as a good thing, it's an argument for ISPs to finally invest in upgrading their networks, though if Google Fiber wasn't already enough of a reason I doubt this would make a dent.

Those just aren't sufficient IMO. I like being able to listen to music when I have no internet connection. I like being able to listen to something when the original was taken down. I like being able to listen to something that the ven

Still seems like a false dichotomy to me. Subscribe to Netflix and pirate your content if you have a firm believe in being DRM free while rewarding the creators of content you consume.

America has a gum problem, we can all agree. That said, I feel like the right to bare arms was included specifically for overthrowing oppressive governments (and in case the British came back?). At what point does a government become suffic

#3 is what really bothers me, and seems inexcusable. I get it, liability is a bitch. But that's not a reason to refuse to admit guilt, that's the reason you shouldn't do the deed in the f*^king first place. How are we going t

They are certainly not going to bin themselves, we have to do it for them. Uninstall flash, and refuse to reinstall it. And see if your nontechy friends and relatives will let you do the same to protect them as well. There are a lot of site

This is fascinating, my mind is immediately drawn to simple obfuscation programs that would turn tabs into spaces and change the formatting and so on, while still leaving it syntactically correct. Not obfuscation such as to hide the purpose

Why do I have to subscribe to a service to not receive spam? The fact that the service exists is evidence of the problem. Canada's anti spam law just went into effect for email, companies can't (see arent supposed to) just email y

I don't disagree, but I would point out that for those who are new to the industry, making a name for yourself can be a very good way of feeding yourself in the long term. Perhaps I should have instead framed it as building his portfol

Thank you to the people who are sharing their Netflix stories as well. I'm curious about the time frame though. The author of the post noted that he started several months back, to anyone who is sharing their story here can you please

I get that the author wants a portion of whatever money you make with his scripts, but I wonder if they are aware of the ambiguity in "noncommercial" licenses. I feel like this precludes the use of these scripts anywhere but hobby
