   Thanks S4M, will try after coursera course. Did you try it ? I know a good way to learn about things is to try to break them, but I wonder if that approach of "learn to break crypto to learn crypto" is as efficient in the very beg

   Thanks mct, that's a perfect fit. Timing is perfect, and I've just signed up. For those who may not be available in that time, maybe you have a more permanent resource in mind ?

   Personally, I'm tired of comments complaining about HN commenters (not saying author did so, though, those are helpful and non aggressive recommendations). HN is by far the place on the internet where I find the most insightful comment

   Thanks for that. I have no special theme right in mind, I usually speak english only when I travel, so it's mainly general purpose language. This could be as well asking for menu in restaurant, discussing tech with other developers or

    I didn't say I want to pay less. I said I want more for this price, and provided what I expect as my consumer behavior for each price range.

    That's why I don't speak of having time with a dedicated teacher, but simply having him/her review a few items (for example, those failed again and again) and provide a short advice.

    A note about prices. I'm in need for such a service and thank you to provide it. But $30/month is more that what I would give. For that price, I would expect to have a human teacher to review my progression from time to time and p

    Am I the only one that see that as an obvious trap ? We just realized that any data going through the wire should be considered as directly provided to state agencies, and now we're excited to be able to put our private data on chinese

    I'm surprised. I've always thought of labels as something to be used with goto. What is the purpose of labels in javascript, since it does not implement goto ? Do you have any idea if it was intended to be used as you describe ?

    That's actually pretty standard of Linus :) Most of the time, he's not that rude. But when he thinks someone is wrong, he reacts with very offensive comments (especially if the person try to insist to prove her point). That's

    There's two parts, here : the jquery plugin and the browser extension. I would love github to implement the jquery plugin on relevant textareas, thus automatically providing sane wrapping by default. The browser extension is to allow u

    That's quite disturbing. Ok, it was posted on a social media, which may not be perceived as needing as much quality work than a press paper, etc. But how could a journalist be such on the affirmative without presenting any source ? We

    Ok, thanks to you and dan00. I realize it has never been a problem for me because commits replayed when I rebase are always isolated in my feature branch and not pushed anywhere. I suppose it would be a problem if I rebased from two differe

    I'm not sure to understand the point about rebase destroying the history. Does he speak specifically about `git rebase -i` ? I very often run `git rebase master` in my feature branches to avoid having many conflicts to resolve just bef
