Some of my coworkers have a convention of prefixing messages with [request], [suggestion], [question], etc. in order to make the intent extremely explicit. This is particularly useful if you have people coming from multiple cultures with di

Why exactly do they think people look to get hired? For fun? It's important to me that I think my employer is doing good stuff for the world, but I'm there to be paid so I can get food and housing and internet.

I'm not sure I've ever found any indication of someone selling my address, but I've discovered multiple services that have been hacked. One of them, Avvo, has yet to admit it... but it's quite clear.

The best approach is to buy a domain name and set up your mail host with a catchall address. For example, I use Fastmail for mail hosting, and they support this at a reasonable priced tier -- but I can switch to another mail host if I want,

You can select messages and press C-o to open the "Move" dialog, which has a select-as-you-type interface. (For example, I might press T, R to select a Trash folder, then press down-arrow to jump to the Trash folder in my second a

I've been using this for years, and would recommend it to power-user types. Pros: - You can define custom actions to run, including running external programs - Very keyboard-accessible (including bindings for those custom actions) - Yo

« We logged their password, just to make sure they were not reusing that of their corporate mailbox » "Just to make sure", for what, altruistic reasons? Just say you did it for shits and giggles, which is probably more accurate.

OK, I get what she's saying about it being artificially constrained and anxiety-provoking. I think that's her main point, no? And I think I'd agree. Take-home interview assignments, as long as they're not too time-consum

This is a category error. Authenticated encryption does not require statefulness. Just look at NaCl's cryptobox.

I don't think this is accurate. It appears that the phpBB instance performs a redirect to a SAML login, meaning the login page where you're being asked for your master password is the regular login page. Now, the fact that they

I've had a researcher describe to me how a lot of times they have to submit a grant proposal for what they're already doing, funded by a previous grant. If approved, it will actually be used for the next chunk of research... (I do

Facebook claimed repeatedly that they had never sold user data, and it turns out this was true: Instead, they had bartered user data for increased access or other privileges elsewhere. I'd like to hear a broader statement on the spec

I've been imagining a world where a whole bunch of countries actually do this. What does it really change? Mostly less tourism, I think. That would hit certain tourism-dependent countries pretty hard. On the other hand there'd pro

Ah, nice! And there's the "FPE from cycle walking" that I used. (I can't remember at that point if that technique was suggested to me in IRC.)

The question of whether damaging reports would be illegal is separate from whether booby traps are illegal. And they're not, in the broad case: Booby trapped packages are only illegal if they cause bodily harm or damage or are negligen
