I read so many reports of Yosemite being faster that I was beginning to think I was the only one who was disappointed. I have an older machine (2010 Mac Pro tower), but it's been upgraded to 16GB RAM and an SSD over the years. I experi

Sincere question: is the NSA on record for having responsibly disclosed any previous security holes? Is there some track record of them having actively help close security holes in software?

Because there's always something different that needs to be done for them once your project starts becoming non-trivial. You might need a different version of a gem (e.g. pure-java Nokogiri), or they're behind recent MRI features.

> One had a criminal history that included three assault charges I really dislike when "charges" are used this way to defame character. Were the charges dismissed? Was the person found innocent during a trial?

"Faux pas" literally means "false step". But "pas" in French also means "not". There is a city in northern France called "Pas de Calais", which roughly means the "steps" or entranc

Transferring brain to a computer is just brain transplant. If you accept organ transplant you should hardly have any problem with this at all. Your "uploaded" brain probably won't have any problem with this, b

Super shady stuff. I never rely on any ISP provided DNS servers Doesn't that mean that you don't benefit from nearby CDNs? Perhaps worth the tradeoff anyway.

New hooks focus-in-hook, focus-out-hook. These are normal hooks run when an Emacs frame gains or loses input focus. Cool. I think the lack of such a hook is what was preventing an implementation of "save all buffers&

Actually I have no idea why you think I'm under that impression. I know that (for example) convicted felons can lose their voting rights, but I did not know that committing a misdemeanor would cause you to lose protection against searc

I'm still waiting for someone to coin a term for when you google around for a problem and end up at your OWN answer on SO from a year or so earlier. This happens more often than I'd like to admit. I'm incredibly thankful for

Look, Intellij is the Emacs of IDEs. If you've not used it you have no idea of its depth. I've written plugins [1] for it, so I'm not an idiot. I regularly use it for Java, Scala, Clojure and Ruby, so yeah, sometimes it'

I pay for every upgrade simply for the support. A few times a year I get stuck on something; mere minutes after filing a support ticket, I have a resolution. They've got this guy "Serge" who must be locked in a room somewhere

You should use "User.count", which will do something like "select count(*) from users". "Users.all.count" will needlessly read in all users into memory and then return a count. That might work OK for 1000 users

I wish we could have runoff elections in the US. Then you could vote for the candidate you really want to win; if they lose, you can then vote for your safe fallback choice. This would really open the playing field beyond D & R (so it

I've found this process unreliable enough (is it set in the Apache user env, or httpd.conf? Why isn't it getting passed through to Passenger?) that I just put everything into a /usr/local/my-app.yml file, and explicitly load it in applicati
