Favorite Perl snippet (from Joseph Hall's EPP book) [$x => $y]->[$x <= $y] Holy shit - just realized I first touched Perl 15 years ago!

I would have thought a client side encryption plugin that will seamlessly encrypt/decrypt all your Gmail sent between yourself and any other user running said plugin would be a simpler option. Adding common mail suppliers as it goes fo

I clicked through after seeing original headline. It made sense. This means nothing to me at all. Aren't editors meant to make things more readable?

That is a really good read, and very sane. So, obviously, it has to get pulled.

It's called "NoScript". I have yet to see the solution on the site :D

These days, the important thing is to know the right question. Once you get that far, the rest is easy. eg, you want to extract a date from a sentence. If you don't know the question, you might google "get date from sentence". If you do, th

DIGG killed Digg. The week after V 3.0 launched was a mess. Tons of corporate sponsored posts (AKA intrusive adverts), often multiple submissions by the same person on the front page at the same time, and other weirdness. Reddit was right p

When I heard Schneier had been invited I actually thought the government was going to take this seriously. Obviously this is now going to be just another whitewash. sigh

If I was driving in the desert, of course I would learn how to fix a car. You might as well have said, "if you go scuba diving don't whine if you get decompression sickness while surfacing". What a really bad analogy. Where do you draw the

I don't care how cars work, I trust the mechanic to fix the problem. I don't care how the financial markets work - I trust my 401k to pay for my retirement. Life is far too short for me to want to know about things that don't interest me.

"I have little compassion for people who store their files in the cloud only." That's all well and good, but what about the other 95% of the population that just want to pay someone to host their files? Why should consumers have to know the

In related news, when I'm on a non essential site that requires a password, forces a weird restriction ("Your password must contain at least one number and one non word character) and won't let me save it in Firefox, I just copy the passwor

You post a large update in a place where you value your integrity stating that the goal you were going to achieve will be accomplished by a certain date (that appears reasonable). In my case, it was to tweet that we'd be selling our latest

I haven't seen it for people you aren't friends with before the last few days, so I'm pretty sure - either that or it's a bug. Either way, some feedback on it would be welcomed if anyone knows anything.
