Ugh, now we're going to have to stretch our already practically non-existant political capital even further to defend against this shit. Do the CCC and the Pirate Party have official positions on this? Edit: In case they don't (and that's w

Imagine what kinds of tools you could write if you had a giant corpus of schematics and edit histories. "Find a path through the graph of existing parts to wire these parts together" would be one example.

I risk new messages getting bounced, but all of my email is backed up on my computer. And I'd archive everything to s3 (which has never lost data to my knowledge) in case both my ec2 instance and my laptop disappeared.

I've been getting increasingly fed up with gmail, but not quite to the point of making me set up exim. Does anybody know of a mail server I can throw on ec2 and forget about?

It sounds like "Human Flesh Search" is just the Chinese word for Doxing.

Depends on the context. Doing so is risky and expensive, but if you're a startup you eat risk for breakfast and can just cut back on sleep.

Each artist only needs a few patrons, so as long as the tail of patronage is as long as the tail of consumption each consumer only needs to patronize (is that the right word?) a few artists. I've seen this work for small indie bands with sm

It doesn't block page transitions on all of the assets on the next page loading. I click the next button and get to wait 30 seconds while all the images show up.

BTW, anybody interested in python coroutines should go read the greenlet source. It's pretty readable, well commented, and is the best way to get your head around what's happening to the stack when you do a coroutine switch. https://github
