It's true, OAuth 2.0 alone isn't intended to be used for authentication. Think of it this way: An OAuth access token is often described as being analogous to a valet key — anybody bearing the valet key can unlock whatever it is th

I don't know about that — it helps to have more than superficial knowledge of the topic at hand so that you can adequately assess rants such as this one. Personally, while I feel that Igor Homakov has done good work, this article is th

I see many comments criticizing Apple's QA and wondering how this defect was not discovered prior to release. The bulk of the comments seem to adopt a tone of disbelief. I find that hard to believe. It would be illuminating to know m

Of the recipes that I read, cherry brandy is the easiest by far — you macerate several pitted cherries in a jar for several days — and not alien at all to a contemporary reader with an interest in these things. But should it have been quite

Indeed, translations are products of their times, and most casual readers are better served by (non-public domain) contemporary translations. I'm reminded me of something Mary Beard said in a recent interview with the LA Review of Book

This looks lovely — great job with the UI. I can see from the Hype Machine blog [1] that Plug was developed with the approval and assistance of Hype Machine. Nevertheless, it's unfortunate that the client requires the end user's u

I seem to spend my every waking moment reporting defects for HTTP APIs. HTTPie's interface is far more intuitive than cURL's, and pretty-printed responses are a kindness not just for me but for the people who have to read the bug

Right, and this is a strictly opt-in scheme. Austin Energy partnered with Nest to do this last year, offering customers an $85 rebate as an incentive to help smooth out the spikes in energy use during hot summer afternoons. Austin Energy ha

The issue, I assume, is that the parent poster would have liked to use beets on his or her existing music collection but now cannot because it's no longer local.

As I see it, the author of TFA is simply offering some heuristics for judging whether or not he's going to have a hard or an easy time working with a project's documentation. So in this view, presenting documentation using a struc

Automatically selecting a language based on the Accept-Language header value can be a nice feature but isn't a universal solution, and there are reasons to not do it. As another commented noted, it can be helpful to have the desired la

Fellow Texan here. "Y'all" is plural, but certainly not formal. I hasten to add that "y'all" is clearly not used exclusively by Texans.

Repectfully, no, you cannot charitably call Taco Bell 'Tex-Mex'. This is easy to remember, because Taco Bell is from Southern California, and Tex-Mex is from... Texas. A cursory Google or Wikipedia search could clear up your mis
