This is more than just the story...it's Schneier's analysis on how to protect yourself from insiders that's interesting, here.

I think you're projecting. Most of those people just want Facebook to work, and don't care about this latest privacy "outrage".

Say you post a picture of me, and I like it and use it for my profile picture. Then you leave Facebook. Now I have no profile picture. Just the first example that popped into my head.

Wow. That's excellent. Did you see how bright it got just before it went behind the trees? The sad thing is, the poster on YouTube is so interested in it being a UFO and part of the Obama-induced Space War, that she misses how awesome the e

Nope. That's stack based, this is frequency based. It learns what directories you visit more frequently, and jumps to the right one based on very small bits of input. I wish it were interactive, like iswitchb ... or I guess I could just sta

"perfectly viable" != "optimal" swombat is saying there may be a hidden business model that even the GitHub crew haven't discovered yet, because the conditions that enable it haven't yet been reached.

That's too much like work. EDIT: I currently use cdargs, and it had to get built into muscle memory before it was really powerful. Now, I type "cv twTABENTER" and I'm where I want to be, before I've finished thinking about where I want to b

Excellent. I'm pretty addicted to the completion in cdargs, but the learning features of autojump are pretty cool. I'm giving it a shot.

When I say reliable, I don’t mean “they can fail once in a thousand test runs.” I mean “they must not fail more often than once in a million test runs.” We have around 15k test cases, and they’re run around 70 times a day. That’s a million

The kindle has a fairly complete note-taking/annotation system, since you can't write in the books. As someone who doesn't write in books, though, I agree with you.

I wonder if you could do some automated A/B system here, and instead of every commit, just do it once a day: Every night, update one set of servers with the latest stable branch code. Route N% of your user to those servers. If faults start

Twitter's asymmetric follow is one of the killer features. GitHub has it, as well...maybe if GitHub had a status API they could be a Twitter killer.

IIRC MeFi is a one-time fee. I was there before the fee, so I don't know for sure.

What's really interesting, now that I finished reading, is that the test in question has been available for years, but is unused because of a lack of normal values. The research that's being done isn't exciting or ground-breaking, it's just

He was using <b> instead of <div> because it was shorter. That's a 4 byte savings on each button. If you had a lot of buttons on a page...that could end up saving hundreds of bytes. I'm not sure how much that matters in the
