Google Plus is still a very strange place. Here you have an exceedingly technical thread with some of OSS brightest minds working on a little puzzle and it's interspersed with litter. You have the sincere (yet misplaced) thank you for work

the algorithm needs to be slow enough to calculate that it's impossible for hackers to crack but fast enough that it doesn't bog my site down. Right? That's exactly right. It's kind of an insidious problem because it goes against the intu

Wrong algorithm. Here's what you need to know: * The whole reason leaking user's passwords is dangerous is because users tend to re-use passwords. * The purpose of hashing a password is to make it hard for an attacker to know the plaintext

If I remember correctly, last time I tried gitbox, I couldn't use it for more than a few minutes because it showed commits as a linear history. I understand that they want to hide complexity, but that's exactly the complexity I need to see

It's sensitive depending on what you're going to do with it. If you're a native app and you want to access it so that you can show me my address book in some unique way, then I don't want to be bothered giving permission. If you're a native

Because it requires 2 API's both of which have legitimate uses: 1.) Get the user's address book and 2.) upload it to a server. Installing an application implies a higher level of trust than a web application. You can't prompt the user for e

Wow, bootstrap really does allow for a much nicer looking front page doesn't it? This seems like a great step forward. I was recently looking to set up a local chishop server to act as a mirror.. it seems like the cacheable url's thing mean

While I see the need to have someone in charge of the nation's IT infrastructure, I sort of cringe at the idea of calling that position 'CTO'. It brings all of the expectations of corporate america to the position that I don't think belong

A Javascript-based solution to this problem: let Javascript customize the web-standard version to your browser's version if supported. http://leaverou.github.com/prefixfree/ Not a perfect solution, but it's interesting.
