And if you were missing window panes altogether, is it open season on robbing your house?

It's not common for me to do that, but it's also not common for me to try breaking into iPhones. But if I were trying to break into an iPhone, perhaps the finger prints are on the phone. Or some other item I also got as part of th

I don't understand your argument. You seem to agree that the reason the unlocked house is not like the street is shared social conventions. That house across the street is definitely private property whether it's signed that way o

Yes, I read the article. We must have wildly different definitions of "highly". I'm pretty confident I could reproduce this result in one afternoon. Compare that to other things we might consider highly secure, like strong en

Can we agree that Apple should not be marketing this as a "highly secure way to access your phone"?

Seconding categories, though I'm not sure they should be columns. Maybe sections like "Styling" with a one sentence explanation of what they are, and then the boxes below that.

What you're saying, basically, is that it's not an opinion because you're right. That's...not a very good point. Pointing out that most parallel systems are written in imperative languages doesn't help. Most systems

The file extension should probably be .red, not .rs. rs is taken by Rust.

I don't love the article's tone, but I do like the implicit point that Gen Y's sense of entitlement about success is not so different from older generations' sense of entitlement about pensions. "Aww, you promised t

Secrecy: not always a good idea.

That may well be good advice, but it doesn't really solve the other problems he's complaining about, right?

Yes! With the exception of item #5 and #6, I really strongly agree with these items. Vim's automatic indenting, in particular, just seems systematically broken. On 5, ctl-p works great for me. I have it set up to use git in choosing wh

I think by dynamic, they mean that you can't really edit the annotation at runtime. In this case, it would be that you can't choose the HTTP verb using an if statement, for example. Other annotations have parameters, which you mig

I shouldn't have said "mastery"; I just meant that you should have to check the JS box first. I agree you can use jQuery without a strong fundamental knowledge of JS. So fair point. The description for the first level of JS F

I think the idea is that instead of having a bunch of DOM elements waiting around for individual events that tell them to change state ("your text should now be this"), you get a whole rendered view ("here's what the DOM

This is a way better counter than my comment.

Apologies for turning to semantics, but I think the confusion is over what "confidence in" means. I think you mean something closer to "respect for". I'm not sure I agree, but I'm not well enough informed to ar

It's very cool, but some complaints: - I shouldn't have to know advanced database management to do AJAX or user authentication. Seems like a dependency bug. - The tree emphasizes jQuery effects to an odd degree (three levels) and

This. If you were looking for a reason to support the war, that it goes against Russia's interests is a pretty good one. Reminding people of that seems unwise. Putin would be smart to distance himself from it, since he must know the Am

I'm not sure you can separate those. If NIST is being systematically interfered with by the NSA, how can you have confidence in them?

I'd like to get a better sense of how well hyperthreading works in practice on stuff like this. Is it really the case that my physical cores' pipelines are < 50% utilized by video processing, such that the hyperthreads are equi

But then you need structural supports to hold up the shelves, which is what the dome is designed to avoid. The low wall weight would help, I suppose, but you still need to hold up everything inside the units. Once you're pouring concre

In some ways. The dome is great, but one thing it isn't is stackable.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Hackers like, among other things, to tinker with stuff and to use their fancy, highly customized tools for editing files. This appears to allow neither. I almost feel like this is caught in a weird place: i
