So much for the right to face your accuser - was there a mirror in the courtroom for him to look into?

I believe what the comment you're replying to is implying multiple instances of indentation on the same line. Such as: if ( $test[0] ) func1() elseif ( $test[1] ) func2() elseif ( $test[2] ) func3()

The App Store doesn't present me with that option. I believe you need to have an older version already installed to be able to redownload it.

Unfortunately doesn't run on iOS 7 or below. Any chance you could support it? I'd love to use this app.

I'm pretty sure that's a browser thing, not a Google-specific feature.

Firefox disabled HTTPS Everywhere with no warning to me whatsoever. I use Dev Edition. I always just assumed it would always work, but apparently I can't rely on that anymore. Wasn't Mozilla pushing for non-encrypted HTTP to be de

Ever since they integrated G+ with YouTube comments, I thought that the comment dislike button was just a placebo. I've never actually seen the score of a comment go down upon it being pressed. Has it actually been working the whole ti

Companies have an interest in forcing users to manually download updates because of ad revenue from the download page, and bundled software on the updater. It will take a lot to convince them to prioritize user security over money.

What should I use as a VM environment/OS? Obviously I know GNU/Linux distros, but if all I'm going to be doing is using Firefox, I don't want a 8GB+ VM file hogging space on my normal system. Right now, I only have a 256

There was a time when Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. apps were all around 5-10Mb in size. Now they're 30-80Mb. That's on the developers, and makes the download take longer.

Updates like these make this story (and similar) seem like a waste of a spot on the front page.

I feel like mobile developers and the creators of the hardware have given up on heavy optimization to work on minimal hardware and instead just gone with more expensive, top of the line hardware so they can continue current programming prac

There's no way I'd get a job if they asked me to express the Fibonacci sequence in a series of 24 digit blah blah blah as a fraction.

Amazing how shallowly an article can cover the specifics of something like this. The best explanation they gave was "mathematical tricks."

Even after many HNers read this thread and appreciate the points being made, I'm sure we'll still see the same "Site I made in unique2me.js" garbage headlines in the top feed. Hopefully what we all take away from this is

There are times when the plot changes and for example, in a romance, characters may switch from using surnames to first names. I've seen many low quality subtitles where the character will use another character's last name, but th
