A basic implementation here: http://webpass.rkeene.org/ A couple of difficulties your writeup doesn't cover: * password expiry/rotation - webpass uses the "sequence number" for this, and sequence numbers

Is any of that really less the case with NoSQL?

Very interesting - thanks. I hadn't sought to delve into the combination of ASD and trip reports, perhaps under the assumption that my experience was somehow typical (haha - that phrase seems familiar). It still strikes me as somethi

> I wish the light bulbs we already found were legal Are you hinting at psychedelics? I'm familiar with their documented ability to open up different kinds of doors, but not this particular one. Colour me skeptical.

The sort of post-TMS emotional hypersensitivity he describes is "normal"? On one hand I wonder if I'm further on the spectrum than imagined and should seek help ... on the other, being overwhelmed by other folks' emotio

Came here to complain about the HN title which tells me nothing about why I might care to read the OP. Noticed the domain, now glad to know. The title could do with a fixup though - my RSS reader doesn't show the target domain.

The elephant in the room here is Javascript. No other scripting language has been so bloody awful in the past that a five-line module that saves you typing `array.prototype.forEach.call` or something that papers over the language's aw

I can't find a reference now, but apparently the first "self-service" store in Australia was the original Coles Variety Store in Smith St, Melbourne, opened in 1914. [1] http://collections.museumvictoria.com.au&#x2

I really want to see some papers, models or simulations to illustrate some of these effects - starting with the gravitational influence of ice sheets on sea level. This shouldn't be a difficult thing to illustrate numerically, but wow

I find `not in` highly dubious - it makes the expression grammar awkward and harder to parse. Is `not in` a two-token operator? Or is `not` an adverb in this context? What else resembles this? To cite an alternatice, in Tcl, `in` is an o

Container deposit schemes are getting some discussion in the comments, so it seems an apt time to mention their history in Australia [1]. SA has had the scheme since '77, and the NT managed to introduce it - then reintroduce it - just

The more I look at the three snails, the more I find A and C to be similar in their pattern of illumination. EDIT: the closer I look the more I'm convinced. C is the matte rendering of A; B is the different environment map. Figure 2

maybe my sin is hosting at linode - for a new recipient at either of the behemoths, I seem to have 50% chance of going to spam. Thanks for your comment.

Not open source, no plans to monetise, nothing to see on the website but expensive-looking animation ... what's the point? Who is this supposed to appeal to? (yes, this is kinda snarky, but I'm also genuinely curious)

For those as confused as I was: "x^" is how the author renders "x̂" (or x-with-circumflex, for the font-challenged).

Power budgets for software are already a thing that exists. It's not just about stuff getting cheaper and faster -- portable/battery-powered devices are becoming increasingly important. So you're right, but not only for the

The variation I keep seeing today is sites that lose any left margin at all when the browser is less than 1000px wide (or 930 or whatever magic number the designer had in mind that week). It's pretty special seeing text butted up hard

Can you use 8.6? TclOO makes objects a lot more wieldy: they're still commands, but you get automatic cleanup, destructors, some nice options for inheritance/delegation and so on. "emulating objects with procs" sounds

I make business desktop software in Tcl/Tk. That it keeps me out of the hype cycle is gratifying, but it's also a damn well engineered and productive environment (I could go on for hours ...).
