Yep. I offered the info in case it was useful, but I don't think it lets Mozilla off the hook at all. It's slightly better than completely getting rid of the feed detection code, I guess. That's probably the next step...

You can put the RSS icon back in the toolbar (but not the url bar) by going into View->Toolbars->Customize and dragging it wherever you want it. It's a bit less obvious than the original, but it's still useful.

Thanks, that's a definite win for pulseaudio and I hadn't really considered the developer side of it at all (I'm primarily backend/network/db). I certainly don't think pulseaudio is an inherently bad architect

Oh, I definitely wasn't singing their praises even if ALSA was a step up from OSS, PulseAudio was just a new low for me in sound systems. My biggest frustration with it was the tendency it's always had on my systems to simply sto

Poettering oversold its state of stability and then seems to have largely lost interest during the most critical period of adoption. The distributions are responsible for believing the hype and shipping too early, but that doesn't cha

The minimum isn't the important part - they're putting a cap on experience at 12 years which will exclude the vast majority of protected workers, basically anyone who didn't switch careers very late.

Doing your own crypto is generally hard and risky, but with a little googling there are often reasonable defaults and suggestions available from trustworthy sources. The biggest danger seems to be that people pick some random set of values

And don't forget the red blotch of shame where Ballard has been getting gentrified into the ground. Hipsters here have more overlap with yuppies than most places I've lived.

Weirdly enough that article mentions Dyche as the skipper and she's only listed as "a woman named Evi". AFAIK she's the shipowner and has plenty of experience as captain as well as being the most well known person on bo

This is a somewhat bad example of when to use recursive queries in PostgreSQL, but they're useful a lot of places Activerecord's preload can't hack it and trees. Examples: * Recursive queries can update, insert, or delete ro

I'd say that in the US Social Security Numbers run neck-and-neck with names for causing problems, though the data is less screwed up. The problem is that they look simple, unique, and universal so they're an obvious primary key... but only

You're welcome. I never think of it as an obscure font family so I didn't list it, but I guess it's not so well known. I can see what you mean about high-dpi though Regular is still a bit too heavy for my tastes, I've just spent too many y

I don't have it up and it's scattered through different parts of my config, but I'm happy to extract those bits and toss it up as a gist in an hour or so when coffee kicks in.

(Her actually.) It's M+ 1mn Light (M+ fonts, Type 1, monospace). I think the whole family is attractive & readable and for programming on OS X I wanted something with a lighter font weight (it's got 5) to compensate for OS X's overly

Great idea, you've inspired me to do the same just now. I've been using PostgreSQL since ~2000 and love it, but I'm still finding new little corners of the docs worth reading. If anyone else wants to do this and has Calibre installed, the

Meanwhile on Chromium 26.0.1384.0 (build 176849) on OS X Lion everything is fine for me. The titlebar is (appropriately for the typography) messed up, but there are no tab loading issues, cpu/memory spikes, or screen corruption. The close

Sadly you're almost certainly right. Most of the places I could see wanting to reverse-engineer the displayed HTML into Markdown are actually sites using their own hackish, inconsistently rendered output. You'd end up needing per-site tw

Even if you can't force it on for everything, the bash construction ${variable:?message} lets you error out on individual null or unset values[1]. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be as simple a way to handle all of null, unset, and emp
