Yes. It finally hit me today. I've been bitching about this stuff for years but it kind of overwhelmed how absolutely abmismaly little I trust my government. Combine that with, seemingly intelligent people running around here downplayi

Hm, is there a terribly important difference? I'm not in "formal natural science" so I don't know how it goes in the real world. But I would think that if you're being honest with yourself and your results in the &q

Should I be using Nginx + UWSGI with Go apps? I know someone wrote a seemingly comprehensive uwsgi package for Go, but IIRC it kinda got shredded a bit in the mailing list. edit: Hm, maybe there's a different thread or I was discourage

> The number of date formats we encountered is comical (so much so that I started a blog to document them). At current count, there are around 60 date formats I’ve seen. Ha! Is that really not in the spec for Atom/RSS/RDF?

Ironically, it fails to find "Disk Cleanup" which is rather important if you want to properly delete "Windows.old" after the upgrade. (BTW, it's cleanmgr.exe if you want to run it).

I made it pretty damn clear that I was talking about it at a constitutional level and it's kinda irksome to watch you find the only person who barely-even-doesn't-really-agree with you and act like they're the only respecta

koush is kind of kicking ass on this front: https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/gVt8SWRR... From his comments it sounds like he's working with other app makers who are making independent apps

A "warrant", "FISA warrant" and "National Security Letters" are all distinct things that are used to circumvent the Fourth Amendment. By definition only the FIRST of those three are allowed for by the Constitut

You're right. I don't know why I was being such a pessimist about it. More ammo, more attention, it's probably good unless or until we reach the max attention span of people who need to become more informed. Or if we encounte

Aka, FISA warrants and FISA courts which in practice haven't been limited to foreign spying for... decades? now?

Wait, are there actually people in the US who still assume that there someone has to get a warrant to investigate them under the auspices of terrorism or National Security? I assumed this was a more or less accepted fact by now. They take e

Not only is your analogy flawed for the good reasons described, but you also don't understand Pandora. If you stay on a single station very long, you will hear it repeat. Their catalog simply isn't that large. I can name the THREE

No offense but, just no. People didn't like it because it was UNDISCOVERABLE. As it turns out, the Start Menu was pure shit and everyone did Winkey+"Application Name"+Enter. And they still use it today.

Since there are no IE11 threads on the front page, I'm going to hijack to express some amazement with the IE team. DASH and Media Source extensions (among the other, more well known HTML5 stuff added/bolstered)?! Awesome! Any word

Right? I feel like for the first 4-5 years it was whining that Android stole everything from Apple (arguable) and then after that it was whining about iOS leaching Android features. But now... who cares? Or has the effort to care? Look at b
