Let me guess... they're using OAuth as an authentication protocol, and it's working weirdly 'cause it's an authorization protocol?

Could you elaborate on how they are against individual rights?

Sorry, I thought we were talking about problems ...

In fairness, that sounds like something Sherlock Holmes would very plausibly do. Then again, we all know he's kind of an ass, if a lovable one.

For what it's worth, I've been using SharpDevelop almost full-time at work. Then again, I'm more of a Linux guy working at a .Net shop because "Hey, why not. C# is nice enough"

I somewhat question the effectiveness of ... let's say Reddit as actual communication, though. Maybe I'm projecting, but I find my online social interactions are nice, but don't really compare to actually hanging out with friends, or even t

I agree. That does actually sound like quite an appealing internet, to be honest.

Well, I just set up a few circles when I joined (maybe 7ish), and now whenever I add someone, I quickly tick one or two of the boxes. It's not really high-maintenance.

OpenID is great, but I somehow just don't expect it to get that much adoption on sites where "Sign In With Facebook" is the default. Whereas I have at least some hope that Persona might become that common if Mozilla play their cards right.

Could you explain the rainbow tables comment? I would've thought it'd end up in a dictionary, not a rainbow table. (although I have to admit I've forgotten the details of how rainbow tables work)

I dunno... in the example there, I'd say that it costing 16000x as much to crack the passwords would be a little more than a "roadbump". (assuming people are renting {C,G}PUs in the cloud to perform the attacks)

I'd tend to choose temporary variables. I trust my compiler to optimise them out, and I find it makes it much easier to find the appropriate place to change or add new code. "Does this affect working out whether the error has been logged be

Don't be embarrassed. You've got to start somewhere.

I'm against inconveniencing existing humans for the benefit of the environment, but arguing that trying to reduce human population increase is "hating humans" is like arguing that pro-choicers "hate babies". I mean, sure, let's look out for

Unfortunately I think that ship has sailed. Personally I'm hoping Persona will catch on. At least that's designed as an authentication scheme.

by qu4z-2 13y ago
People apparently think that OAuth is Open Authentication not Open Authorization. I think that ship has sailed, unfortunately. Although it still confuses me when I go to log in to a site and I get the pop-up about "Do you want to authorize

I'd like to once again recommend trying the Basic Html view. You can middle-click the compose button (or any link, really) and it opens in a new tab. It's super helpful for keeping multiple emails open to reference while writing a new one (

I've switched back to the Basic Html interface, and found it surprisingly good.

A commit isn't really "in" a branch in git in the same way as it is in hg. In hg, each commit "belongs" to a branch (I'm remembering correctly here, right?). In git, a "branch" is basically a variable pointing at a specific commit. A commit

Or because none of their contributors who only installed hg to submit a patch had read the entire hg manual.

Or didn't consider the joke appropriate for Hacker News, I guess.

2GB? Seriously? Wow. Maybe I'm old, but I still feel like 10MB is too much for a mouse driver...

Generally blackhat is accepted as the term for anything less legal than greyhat. There's no "lower bound" like "Oh, he broke into a non-profit! That's not consistent with blackhat ethics!" EDIT: To be clear, that doesn't mean that whatever

Have you tried xkcd's mirrorboard[0]? I don't know if you're on Linux; if not I think I've seen ports for other OSes floating around somewhere. It takes a little getting used to but is fairly quick to pickup, and cheap (in money and scripti

Personally, as long as they stand out from the text and are in color, I don't much mind. Maybe I've gotten used to non-underlined links because many designs seem to use them. For what it's worth, on my design I've made the compromise of und

Since this seems to be the blog-feedback subthread... I don't have a blog yet, but I've been tinkering with a design for a bit. Feedback is appreciated. I'm aware that many people hate light-on-dark, and I'm trying to find a solution that m

I actually like this quite a lot. I might have to steal some ideas.

by qu4z-2 13y ago
Thanks for the answer. Seems reasonable. Although at that point I'd somewhat suggest tmux :)

I will second this recommendation. I'm a big surf fanboy. Not only does it force me to focus a bit more, but in my experience it loads pages significantly faster than Chrome or Firefox. Which I wouldn't have thought possible, but there you

I like this. The only line that tripped me up was "There I sat engaged in guessing the meaning of each cursed expression". The half-rhyme is fine, but the second half inevitably comes out as "THE meanING of EACH cursed EXP ... What now?" I
