I think running any addons or plugins within Tor Browser is a bad idea. Even if it's from a "respected" source, the risk of it somehow becoming compromised is not worth it. IIRC the bundle even advises you that addons may b

I think it's really a political thing. How many of these open datasets come with a license/disclaimer that you are also allowed to rehost the data in its entirety for redistribution? It's one thing to standardize a format for

I suppose if you're going to draw a bell curve for the gaps people exhibit, someone has to fall on the outer edges. I'm one of the outliers on the right side of the graph in terms of milliseconds. :)

The thing is, www prefix was never a requirement. It came about as a convention to very specifically indicate that www.example.com = web server, and ftp.example.com = ftp server, etc. There's no real reason to do it, other than convent

Cookies are broken down into two possible situations: 1. Serving of static content from a CDN on a separate hostname than the web servers. First of all, 99% of companies do not fall under the umbrella where saving the few bytes of the cooki

I've been through the agile process at 5 different companies, and it has never been successful. My biggest issue is with the people who are brought in to implement it. The scrum masters always try to spin the whole thing as a positive

By the way, even the CNAME on root domain is no longer a concern if you are already using AWS. Route 53 has supported CNAME on root domain for quite some time now: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/root-domain-websi

The advice being given by the OP is outdated. The only relevant point is the CNAME for load balancing which, unless you are on AWS which permits CNAMEs on root domains, can be a restriction. Everything else is advice from someone who still

If a developer places an idea up requiring only 4 points, can they pin their own 4 points to it and work on it alone without having to answer to anyone? The entire point of the 20% concept to me is that I get to work on my own idea . I do

What does accepting to be a speaker "under protest" accomplish? Clearly he would be told he is not allowed to make this protest public while speaking. If he cannot make his point public during the conference, then there is no noti

>> the likelyhood of any of this working unhindered by various "security" and "traffic optimization" tools is approaching zero very quickly. Except that anti-virus software is now man-in-the-middling HTTPS, and it

I think we typically already know how we are going to respond to the earlier section(s) of the other person's dialog, and this is why our response is ready so quickly. If your counterpart speaks 3 sentences, I suspect that in many case

Why do Facebook's metrics matter when talking about Twitter? Just because Facebook and Twitter are both social networking sites does not mean they are comparable. Twitter should not have gone public, or at least not at the valuation it

I think a lot of Canadians identify with being "lower class", as you put it. For many, it is not at all shameful to shop at Walmart. Walmart has been ingrained in us for so long, and we have such a small population (the population

10 users? You want a $5 DigitalOcean, a $10 Linode, or similar. A single server can handle a lot more than 10. There's a trend on HN obsessed with high availability and scalability that makes it sound like every website needs to be e

Seriously? You just blew out my ears. Put a severely worded warning in the title. That was about 500% the volume of anything else in my browser or my system. Not just loud, but physically painful levels. Thanks a lot.

I don't think Wikimedia understands just how many editors they have lost due to this problem. It is simply too late to fix. Wikipedia is dead to far too many people with knowledge that could have been shared.

I just wish the human race would stop pretending to know what the future may or may not hold. You would think that with our recorded history, people would be smart enough to shut up about the "limitations of the future". There is
