Probably wasn't an attempt at being funny, but more just named after desktop debugging tools for inspecting threads and such that have "spy" as part of the name. The skull, perhaps was just having some fun, though!

In a moment of pure debugging hell and hate, I put an alert with the text "WTF!" for a condition that should never occur. I could never get it to reproduce and, due to some distraction, I checked in the code with the alert still t

I hate to see a good idea go to waste. I think the assumption that people want to design their own clothes is false. But if a celebrity designed a pair of jeans, people would want that. It probably isn't realistic to get Kanye West for

When you first launch Eclipse CHE, your browser window opens and for about 1/2 a second the browser window title says "Codeenvy Developer Environment"

I've only just messed with CHE for a few minutes, and I've only read the summary of Cloud 9. But from what I can see they are conceptually the same. Eclipse CHE is simply running your own private version of the Cloud 9 platform.

I've been playing around with it for about 15 minutes so far. Eclipse is my main IDE, so I would say I'm fairly a power user for Eclipse. This is not a new version of the existing Eclipse (or Intellij). It's not a desktop ap

I think a chat widget on your site is a convenient way to offer support that works for a single-person company or a dedicated support team. We use Zopim on our site. It's the only way that I know of were one support person can offer re

It seems like there should be some sort of check in place for loans based on the expected income. If you're going to be a teacher, loans should top out at $30k or some reasonable number. You can't get a $500k loan for a $50k house

I don't know the answer to your question but it would be fascinating if some type of plant or organism could evolve to use some type of man-made tool. Like a plant or fungus or something that could trigger a flow of water or sunlight.

I think the attitude is that it's an act of civil disobedience when it's perceived to be stealing from a big corporation or business entity. When it's a little guy, then HN jumps to their defense. Well, unless the little guy

Why do we put vitamin C on the label? Why sugar content? Why not carbon atoms? Why anything? The FDA (supposedly) requires labels for things that are considered important by health professionals and consumers. If enough people want to know

My last car purchase we thought about going with an electric but we only have a rented parking space. I'd love to have an electric car but there would need to be chargers with every parking meter here in the city. Having a garage here

The end result is the same but super fish was clearly and intentionally malicious (or at the very least unethical). Dell's blunder is more negligence. I'm glad that smart people are keeping an eye on these companies.

It would seem like this law will only be useful if it's also very specific about how juveniles are charged. Most of the offenders are likely to be underage.

Withholding the information sure doesn't seem very "scientific" to me. It seems like the opposite of what science is about.

Regardless of how you feel about additives, healthiness of juice or whatever, you should at least want your food labels to be honest and accurate. To me that's really what I take away from food posts about ingredients, GMOs, etc.

In the US saying "Peee Yooo" is often times combined with holding your nose. Sometimes each word is stretched for dramatic effect "Peeeeeuuueeee Yoooooooooo!" It's somewhat of a children's expression for "

This is really great. I've contributed to lots of projects and it would be nice if maintainers were all this thoughtful. If not actively encouraging people to get involved, it would be nice of maintainers to simply acknowledge or appre

You'd assume that if a CEO were asking you to sign such an agreement, they would offer some sort of incentive in return. Otherwise it seems more like an ultimatum for you to declare your loyalty.

If you're going for professional level work then you certainly should care whether they want you there, or more importantly, if you are providing any value to the company. Because if the answer to either of those is "no" then

That's really true. At the end of the day, you are being interviewed by people, and people are all different in the questions they ask and the answers they want to hear. If the author made a mistake then it might be that perhaps he was

That sounds pretty reasonable. I'm anti-spam to the point where I never even want to send anything to my own list! I think I was more shocked that I actually had that many sign-ups because I never really monitored it. Now that I read a

Ah, interesting. I guess their theme didn't use any ajax features. But, to be safe I updated my gist to exclude that file.

Ironically I can't login to their site from my current IP to see what security plugin they are using! It was stopping the attacks - it was just that the attacker would try 10 password attempts, then get blocked by the plugin and trigge

I had a client who had a security plugin installed and they were getting constant alert notifications about hack attempts. Thousands of login retries, even though there was brute-force protection. The attempts would come from a whole botnet

That's a surprising amount. I'd imagine if its spammers or something, I would be highly suspicious of their payment being legit (stolen PayPal account or something). I have almost 500k plugin installs, I'd sell my plugin for

If Brainjar had licensed this code AGPL then Comcast would have to release their code. But since it's GPL 2 then they have no legal right to require Comcast or anybody else to stop using their code. That's one of the great things

by jakejake 11y ago
This is a crappy move on Comcast's part, but as far as GPL they most likely are not in violation. You can use GPL code in a commercial product as long as you are not distributing it. If they ever choose to sell or distribute their &quo

That's how I remember it too. Most local calls perhaps were included with the service, but a call to the other side of town might be considered long-distance. I do remember that the rates varied wildly. My parents would occasionally qu
