Do they actually explain on their website why they do this? I've spent some time in the past looking without success.

Are there any profiling tools that would have found this? Flame graphs showing the time spent in traverse, perhaps? It seems like this should have been trivially detectable, since the difference is so dramatic.

I wonder about this too. Banks were also basically unaffected by Heartbleed. Is this because they were very lucky, or because they were very cautious? Banks do get hacked, and there's probably more going on than we hear about, but even

Interesting position on testing: "I generally don't consider my own software adequately enough tested until its tests have turned up a bug in a compiler/toolchain. So far I've not encountered a compiler bug for libsecp25

It looks like routes are either strings (exact match) or regular expression objects. I don't think there's a way to combine regular expressions in JavaScript. I don't think this was an unreasonable implementation. Sure, it co

A map version of this (with contour lines for percentage awoken) would be nice. This would also eliminate the small differences in the time people in different areas seem to go to sleep and rise.

The "http" calendar URLs (now?) actually redirect to "https" URLs, but this doesn't help retrospectively, since the only thing that needs to be kept secret is the URL, and that's redirected in plain text… TripI

This is incorrect: unlike Sublime, Atom does not persist unsaved files across restarts. (If step (2) is "create new file", Sublime will preserve it, even if it's not saved.)

The thing I'm most surprised by is the change in the default cacheability of 404 responses from uncacheable to cacheable. Though I guess since defaulting to cacheable doesn't mean that responses must be cached, so you can still b

At least if you have a recovery email address configured, you can only initiate the process that sends codes to phones via a link sent to the recovery email address. So being able to intercept codes sent to a phone is not enough: you also n

Hitting just ~ will also launch that dialog, although the text box only has "~" in it. And cmd-. cancels it. (Works pretty much everywhere that has a "Cancel" menu item.)

Is it true that Chrome has special-cased the revocation of a handful of domains, including revoked.grc.com, because they aren't blocked by CRLSets? I more or less follow the argument that CRLSets are superior overall, but special-casin

Agreed; REST clients/frameworks should have ways of handling all six of these problems--none of them are specific to a particular API. If the client lib has an API-specific way of handling "caching", say, then the number of w
