They should ban David Cameron and monarchies. I hope that ban covers TLS too. Brits don't need HTTPS websites.

What's the point of having a pop-up that tells you "this site uses cookies" when tools can tell you exactly that without the webdeveloper's having to make a single modification to the website?

That's super easy to get around. It only replaces the first occurrence of each.

I think he makes a valid point about how it's not necessary to have both develop and master if you use tags. On the other hand, I think the `--no-ff` merges is what git-flow got right. The separation of features into their own branches

I used to ride without a helmet too. I though I'd as soon get directly killed than get a brain injury. But then you do get a brain injury and not get killed and your life turns into hell, especially if your brain is the one thing you&#

Well, you should always be able to tell if you limit yourself to HTTPS sites. If they offered their own devices and had hacked them to make middle-manned HTTPS sites appear safe, that would be crossing the line for me.

If the user knew what they were doing they wouldn't have typed that. `cat a b > a` is the same as `cat b > a`. There's no reason to add the a before b except to confuse.

He who controls a Queen can make functionally equivalent copies of every Princess and Princess-baby in the Queen’s lineage. They have the skeleton keys to your ‘secure’ kingdom and could at any time decide to become a fraud factory and dis

Maybe among IT people they were but, IT isn't everything. If you had shown 1kX to a physicist, he would've automatically assumed that you were talking about 10^3 times X no matter what X was. I actually live (and grew up) in an SI

Unit prefixes should be unambiguous: 1 GB = 1000 MB; 1 GiB = 2^10 MiB. People who say 1 GB = 1024 MB are wrong. Let's not perpetuate this slip in judgment (while acknowledging that many programs still do use this misbegotten system)

Made me think pretty much every government on Earth has fucked up in some ways, maybe things will be better on Mars when we colonize it. Then I remembered Mars vehicles have this feature installed already as well ...

I went to a Czech computers science college for a year (on Saturdays only), and people here usually use the English terms. Oftentimes there's both a Czech term and an English one and people will just use the English one because everyon

A pretty cool improvement. And you can easily add remote directory autocompletion if you simply steal the autocompletion function of `scp`: complete|sed -n 's/ scp$/ sshcd/p'
