I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but I actually find this puzzle quite interesting. (O|RM|HHM)* doesn't match "anything", but rather "nothing" or something quite specific. [0] There are multiple rows

Really like this idea! Off topic, but, I don't see why people don't make alternatives to this > Notice! In order to save your progress you have to login with Facebook. Let me save by cookie as well, please.

That sounds like semantics. Couldn't you say the same for any service where you _actually_ distribute it as well? "I'm not distributing it, I'm simple charging for the service of easy installation". (I'm also n

With and without "-n" produced different results for me.

At least "sort -n", but yeah. This is top five: 20 helloworld/delphi.pas 25 helloworld/omgrofl.omgrofl 30 helloworld/whitespace 59 helloworld/shakespeare.shakespeare 65 helloworld&#x2

Basically, "vanilla" keypass didn't have cross platform compatibility; "KeePassX to the rescue". I think maybe this is them catching up, but I think it's really good for the entire project that there are severa

I am very pleased to see that people are still invested in this project! I'd really like love products like lastpass and the like, but a local only, self administered solution is, at least to me, the obvious way to go. Also, they have

Great answer. I caught myself thinking along the lines of "of course it's not possible, that would be preposterous!", but as you say, a watch spring mechanism does exactly this. The key concept here is "stores energy&quo

The same mechanism that is used for reversing a string can be very useful though. Think in the lines of python's: >>> 'abcd'[:-1] 'abc'

Having a policeman being rude to you is not even in the same order of magnitude as being denied entry to a country.

That's my problem with these kinds of scenarios. An honest person with a truthful passport will be punished, while someone with a blank passport might not be looked at twice.

I think the implication here is that people might have signed up with the same username and password as they use for other things (e.g., their work email).

I might have skipped a crucial detail in their process, but as far as I can tell, not only is it possible to skim, this makes it amazingly easy.

This book is the first thing I though of reading this. I don't know about the viability of the sort of economy Charles Stross uses in this book, but I found it refreshingly thought through. Might also be worth noting that he goes into

I believe that a lot of myths have some truth to them, though in a varying degree. We do record a lot of data today, and it might be enough to give a (pretty) clear picture, if you sift through it all, but I don't think that necessaril

Agreed. I found the goal of this comment obvious from the second sentence. I do find that I click links like this, simply out of the curiosity of seeing what exactly I'm being nudged into consuming/buying.

My thoughts exactly. I don't know about the original paper, but the article doesn't even seem to discuss the possibility of other conclusions.

I'm not using Kaspersky myself, but I'm guessing they simply mark certain high profile websides on not-known tlds as phishing sites. Think "amazon.co.tw/password_reset.php"

I'm sorry if this comes off as uneducated, but why exactly would this be weakening your security? When installing the Chrome plugin, Chrome clearly states which domain(s) it will allow the plugin to interact with. I would see your point if

Indeed. The only obvious downside to Mosh I've seen so far, is that a lot of enterprisy firewalls tend to block UDP traffic.

by markild 13y ago
I have used Mosh as my primary remote access client for a few months on my "on-the-go" laptop, and I must say that the user experience is very good. In a lot of scenarios, the latency is not much of an issue, but on wlan/3g, this very fast

Did not know that Facebook have support for two-factor authentication. Appreciate that EFF is putting effort into awareness on this issue.

Very well put. I actually find your points much more interesting that the ones made in the article. To me, it's not really interesting _that_ we have a biased view of our selves, no matter what direction, but _why_.

Very good to hear! I really didn't intend to come on as overly critic, and look forward on read your follow up on the issue.

Very true, but the whole idea behind the blog post seems to be that the representation of data is done wrong. I would rather the author go into a bit of a discussion about what the data represents and what different ways this could be prese

I'm no statistics wizard, but I find it interesting that you conclude that we're "doing it wrong" while at the same time suggesting that a scatter plot where a huge percent of the points overlap is the way to go. I appreciate that you try t

I think it's a better example of flawed analogy, but it's still an entertaining anecdote.
