I have a Civic Si, and I would say it's a good compromise of many things. It's more powerful than a base Civic, but I still get 35 mpg highway. It's small, but it's roomy inside and it has a big trunk. It has also been very reliable, as the

I'm done with these analogies. I find it a lot easier to make good decisions by asking direct questions about the situation I'm in and the outcomes I want. edit: snark removal

Chrome (in some situations, I forget which) puts the "https" in red and strikes it through. The implied message: this is HTTPS, but it's broken or bad. The important thing here is that a browser can do something like this without interrupti

That's exactly what I said. But if the browser doesn't show any indication that it's secure, the problem doesn't exist. The way some browsers behave, there's a very strong implication that a website with a self-signed cert is more likely to

It's a usability problem. Firefox (at least 3.x) does a full-on freak-out if the cert is untrusted, despite the fact that the site is no more unsafe than an unencrypted website. Your statements about what should happen are only true if you

The browser could just not show the "secure" visuals, instead of making us click through another page.

A lot of people, not necessarily you :) My main point is that people have different psychological reactions which we shouldn't ignore. Also, I think your diet is much higher in fat and lower in protein than you are estimating. For example,

I think the daily changes in how "in shape" you are reflect how much water you have in your body from eating carbohydrate. Nobody loses a noticeable amount of fat in one day. You lost weight by decreasing the amount of energy you were eatin

It looks like a lot of people are entering zero just so they can see the results of some pools.

Making usable software is extremely difficult, and I don't think Microsoft has been much worse at it than any of the other big companies. They have both well-designed products and poorly-designed products. It's such a huge company with so m

Handsome, usable, and useful. I love the color coded attributes on the grid, especially.

Is there a top 1%? It's hard to really tell, but I think software development isn't a single rankable skill but a bunch of different ones, sometimes skills that are directly opposed to each other. The best person for a job depends on what k

I think it just means "remote" now, the way people use it.

Good observation. There is definitely a now-ish style in web design. Rich backgrounds, rounded corners, soft gradients, big fonts, and of course those text shadows. There's even a style of writing on web sites now, especially startups. Very

I do like this answer, but I'll also point out that making someone guess two strings is just as secure as making them guess one long string. If root has a random 10-char password, that's roughly the same number of guesses as a user's first

If you can log in as account xyz over SSH, and account xyz has permission to do anything with sudo, how is that more secure than letting root log in over SSH?

Obviously there's hyperbole here. America sucks in some ways (the vacation stats make me sad), but we're not the only ones with a government fiscal crisis right now. But what bugs me most is this: "... playing musical chairs for a spot in a

I disagree with this. It always makes me a feel little duped when a one-person operation uses "we".

Do people disagree? You read words by looking at the whole shape, and it has the same shape. I thought that's what it said when I first saw it.
