That's not what public means, though, in any context.

It's not public if the public can't read it (requires authorization). Why is this a conversation?
273.
by dimino 10y ago
"commits other people have access to" That's authorization.

I don't know about rebasing everything , but a commit is a changeset, and a changeset should always have a distinct and succinct purpose. There is no value added in having a single feature spread out over 5 commits. When writing a fe

That's a weird definition of 'public'; for most folks, I imagine 'public' to mean anything accessible without any authorization.

Your last few points are annoying for sure, but the first 3 are the result of 20+ years of Microsoft's poor reputation for security due to its prominence and numerous flaws. I completely sympathize with Microsoft's plight here,

I still don't see a problem with barring members of congress from the TPP negotiations. It makes it harder for the Obama administration to convince them to pass TPP, but that's up to White House to decide if that's the most

I just don't buy this argument, that a trade deal can't be negotiated in secret. The public's control over its government in the US is exclusively through its election system, and the idea that the public "has a right

Thanks for the links (I won't likely read the EFF's take, as I am staunchly against the way the EFF writes its articles), but this feels like a rabbit hole. Cory Doctorow links to an article that links to an article that eventu

There's a lot of abstract "this deal is bad!" stuff, but what, specific, are the issues with TPP? What reason does the president have for wanting to pass it? I generally find him to be a reasonable person, so I don't t

I don't understand why there's so much hay being made over Alphabet's reliance on Google to fund its other ventures. Wasn't that the whole fucking point, to provide a way to separate the moonshots from Google, to ensure

Scrum definitely sucks, but it sucks less than most of the other options. Kind of like democracy. If you don't like meetings, planning, or giving estimates, you probably don't like working on software for a living, because I simpl

After reading the very long article (it's extremely detailed, I recommend it, but only if you highly value business strategy), I'll save everyone the trouble: No. You can't, currently.

> Due to a similar IP reputation service, I couldn't pay my taxes from home this year, just because I had run a non-exit Tor relay recently. It's a big problem. Something doesn't seem correct to me about this...

The problem with your "melatonin" suggestion is that there's no way to know how much melatonin you actually took, since there is no regulation on the chemical, and the "sleep pills" that are purchasable don't s

I feel like this is one of those "faster horse" moments. You don't need a wildcard cert! Just get certs for each one of your subdomains, even internally.

This study has ruined is ability to be reproduced, as whenever you attempt any of the searches, you get the study and many articles about the study, in the results, which reinforces the findings of the study. It's a self-reinforcing st

I like to imagine Hootsuite's contracts are comprised entirely of what they'd buy with their money, rather than for the money itself. "And on the 4th day of each month, you agree to send us six rolls of toilet paper, double p

The comments here demonstrate one way in which larger companies are not as nimble as smaller companies. I feel like no one read the part where Hootsuite got a substantial amount of additional business from the client as a result of regular

Facebook actually offers a "wifi authentication" feature to store proprietors. I ran into an instance of it while in Europe. Haven't seen it used in the US, though.

Didn't they fix it?

Yes, that's correct. You claimed there were no black sheep, and I found a black sheep.

Tech workers probably want to put that $1,000 into their homes, or into their kid's savings, or pay down some of that student loan debt. I'm a tech worker and I don't honestly see a near-term future where I would throw $2,000

True. Then again, I've heard of many better hiring practices as well. Even odds it's a current employee, anyway.

Uh, hell yes I'd come in on Saturday to fix that bug if you pay me 500k.
