It looks like collections is part of the standard library: http://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html . I think this disqualifies your JS solution, as long as doStuff isn't some fancy nodejs core module

The funny thing is that the rebuttal is not even denying the claims by Secunia. He is reiterating multiple times "But the PoC didn't work anymore!" while this is something the Secunia post explicitly admits (while saying that

Promises/A+ is not a promise library. It's not a spec about "what should a promise library do". It's about interoperability - "how can I exchange data AND promises between libraries without relying on a shared

by jkrems 13y ago
The point of having the spec is that libraries can freely exchange data and promises, even if they depend on totally different flow control libraries, while still being certain that error handling and chaining works as expected. It looks li

Because promises resolve to one value which can be retrieved long after the promise was resolved. This is a fundamentally different approach than EventEmitters. node's streams are the closest thing to "promise meets event emitter&

I think you are missing the point here: My government (Germany) already grants those rights, maybe even more rights than the US. But this doesn't mean anything when I'm using a service provided by an US company over which my gover

I think the US government showed in the last ten years that they don't care much about those "basic human rights". I'm pretty sure torture, drone killings, locking innocent people away without due process, and silencing

Well, it would be possible to make the ad-thing part of displaying the message. That's the moment when you have to decrypt it anyhow.

This has nothing to do with privacy and free services. Yes, that is a problem, but it has no connection at all to this case. It's about emails and private chats being given to the government without any limitations. It's about non

Really curious (I only have second-hand experience with it) - you made cmd.exe or cygwin work for you? I keep hearing from people who tried it that they gave up after a while, switching to an OS with native bash/zsh.

Also the usage of color is fascinating: The put two things side-by-side and highlight one of them in gray and one in a subtle green, which immediately conveys the message "stronger color = better value". It looks like a product comparison w

The trend towards a more concise feature set is I suppose a consequence of open source software maturing from "hackerware" to proper, widely used software. The moment your settings screen would benefit from a search functionality, you shoul

I'm sorry - but a "View/Edit message"-link? That seems like the proverbial fig leaf and nothing more. If they wanted people to view/edit the message, they would show a preview of the message without "finding" the link first. They hide the m

Well, that sounds just weird. Either you expect the people being interviewed as part of their prep to learn and remember forever everything they ever may need at Facebook and that could possibly be asked in the interview, or your argument d

What's the point of writing something in Java if you have to do manual memory management and can't use any of the platform library? asm.js makes sense for performance critical code that you would in other languages write in C. So, in a game

by jkrems 14y ago
The techniques need to enable something like "asm.js without the compiler hint" exist and are in use today in JIT compilation (at least to some degree). Since the source code does not generally change and the generated instructions may, you

In THIS case (the one we are talking about), the sex joke consisted not in that one thing. There was no women being fed involved. There were talking about the repository of a male speaker. Don't you see that this is exactly the kind of "s

In the light of the ugliness of the last 24 hours, this couldn't have come at a better time.

Case in point: There weren't making belitting jokes about women. Making jokes about "dongle" sounding like "dong" or about "forking the repository" of a male speaker? Where is making fun of women in there? Pretending like something else hap

One of the minor side-problems in this story: social media blurs the line between "personal" and "professional"/"company" communication. If you use your twitter account to network with people working at other companies, in your role as a de

Wonder if that's part of the reason she was fired. That's where her position becomes company policy and if that was not properly communicated...

by jkrems 14y ago
If I recall correctly she at least said she was sorry in that first HN thread where it was mentioned that one of the guys was fired. But she could have written that in an update on her blog post or in a new post.

Actually, if you are in the audience of a conference and there is someone talking in the front, any disturbance to the people around you is at least impolite. And if anyone should leave it's not the one who is silently sitting there and lis

I don't quite get the "let me explain again response_type=code flow". Doesn't seem relevant to the article since the code flow isn't leaking any access token to the client side at all. Though the solution of making the redirect_uri explicit

by jkrems 14y ago
Maybe you are thinking of the code parameter? The one that can be exchanged for an access token in a server-to-server request?
