I noticed an instance of _.size(obj) returning "undefined" on a collection using number indices, but in each instance_.keys(obj).length would work fine. This was occurring on iOS 7.1.2 on a single device, from time to time. I real

I really dislike the extra-territorial aspect of it. From what I understand the Netherlands copyright law is more lenient than the US law. For instance downloading copyrighted material was legal until very recently. So downloading something

I only use iTunes to play mp3s on my machine and manually sync mp3s on my phone. It also does backups of the phone. With that use case in mind, I'm very satisfied. However, I stay away from videos, apps, sync or whatever else they shov

It needs to be improved to be secure - salt. To avoid rainbow table attacks. One could use the login/email as salt - key strengthening function. Instead of repeating naively SHA-256 a few times, use PBDKF2 or even better, something whi

The "Middle Ages" refers to the period starting with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and ending with the discovery of America. So 5th to 15th century. So conveniently redefining Middle Ages to start in the 12th century to

There are no scientific advances in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages, i.e. between 500AD to 1000AD, just a 'mere' 500+ years... This is actually acknowledged by the writer of the article. Things get somewhat better in t

Really hope they do not wreck Mincraft as much as they wrecked Skype.... Skype was secure and impossible to TAP. Now it is tapped by the NSA. Skype had a nice and clean UI. Now it's confusing as shit. Crashes. It has ads... What kind o

Here's the canonical example I used to quote for multiple inheritance: "Implementing the design pattern observer". You basically want to add public methods addEventListener(), removeEventListener() and a protected fireEvent()

Some of these updates are clearly hacks, in the sense that if you did not have to worry about backward compatibility, they would certainly not be implemented in that way. They're not like upgrades from ext2 to ext3, it's like ext2

ANSSI is essentially the French NSA. It's a fair comparison, even though the agency is brand new (they were hiring en masse a couple of years ago) and has a seriously small budget. I'm amazed that they can run a CA and that nobody

Sort of... There has been a lot of talks about merging the two bodies, and some steps have already been made towards that goal by the current administration and the previous one. It's not unthinkable that distinction and separate chain
