A more general lesson out of here: sunk costs are sunk, and Martingale strategy never pays off (it only pays back, and even then – if you're lucky). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su

Well, to be fair – debugging is really, really frustrating when you don't know any programming and therefore have no idea how to even describe your problem in searchable terms, let alone solve it using stackoverflow anecdotes (if you know t

That's the point. Python is similar to php/js (which is why it's easy to pick up), but in contrast to them it is extremely well designed (imho). You suddenly understand how many of the quirks you have to go through every day coding in php

[off-topic] If PHP and Javascript are the only programming languages you know, you really should experiment with at least one or two others. It comes easier than expected. For example, check out http://www.diveintopython.net/toc/index.

That's exactly the fear – Opera doesn't have much reason to link recorded data back to you, facebook does, and is known to permanently store all available data. And it already knows way too much about you.

MB is not magic. It does not produce new information out of thin air like horoscopes. You give it your psychological traits in pretty much clear text, and all it does is reduce these to a few categories. Strictly scientific? Probably not. B

If I didn't know the problem existed, I would have read the title and thought " ok, I'm pretty sure I did specify the email in my profile " and moved on without opening and reading the submission. You should have specified it right in the t

You don't even need to log in – just visiting a URL sends it to google. I'm not sure if you can even disable that despite all the predictive/protective/suggestive checkboxes in config – I couldn't figure out how to stop my dev domains from

Coda (1) is a great tool for beginners, if you're just figuring out HTML/CSS/JS/Wordpress/PHP/Terminal/etc. It also works well for those who are not supposed to be too technical – designers, for example. As you become a more proficient deve

You don't need to store the password in plaintext, you can just capture the password from a successful login attempt and generate new acceptable hashes from different variations of it. That way you'd gradually add this feature for most of t

Pro tip: if you're getting such non-random behavior, just clear your seb.ly cookie and you can play normally again. I'm guessing the more you play, the higher chance of non-random behavior there is, so that players gradually realize it's a

If these were humans, a standing-still ship would attract more aggression as an easy target, but bots don't seem to care about that, so it should be good option for maximizing kills/deaths. However, it takes a long time to kill anyone with

I came here to say the same. I really hoped that would be an advanced version of Noteslate https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=note... Sad that they don't even have what can be called a website anymore.

That would be a reasonable and most probable bureaucratic response to this issue (apart from the option to simply ignore it), but it would double the radiation received and increase inconvenience. Ironically, the opposite of what the guy is

True, and it's even somewhat consistent behavior among embedded stuff (youtube, vimeo, etc.), but in my experience most "normal" people don't know that.

Well, like Putin & Co owning/controlling most of Russian enterprises larger than a certain threshold? Oil, machinery, aviation - you name it, they have it. Like not being able to get health care beyond the very basics without spending a

And then the government makes using all that fancy tech a criminal offense (if they could pass PATRIOT act and SOPA, why not), makes a few demonstrative cases, and suddenly no normal people want to be part of that, since for the most part,

It's sad that we still did not achieve the level smoothness and interoperability imagined in this video. Who cares about talking to the computer. Getting things done is still a bunch of ugly hacks.
