You'd be surprised at how quickly common phrases are compromised. According to [1], a 6 word phrase, "it was the best of times", albeit unmodified, was broken in 4 seconds. A less common phrase, "You stay classy San Dieg

That doesn't solve the merge problem. What happens when you edit a password on one computer and then another password on another computer before syncing?

I also like KeePassX but its major flaw is not being able to sync or merge databases. That has led me to consider using password-store[1]. Has anyone found a way to overcome the sync problem with KeePassX? 1. http://www.zx2c4.com

The problem with this method is that the example phrase, "No one knocks off old Tony", yields 3,580,000 Google results. All attackers would have to do is apply a few simplistic substitutions on common phrases. Any phrase easily fo

Substitute "walking" for "standing" and all these troubles go away. I have walked many 8 hour shifts with only a lunch break in between. A walking desk is not much more difficult to make. Get a treadmill from Craigslist

That's not a very reassuring attitude. Hopefully the new Firefox Accounts authentication server will be easy enough to deploy and configure as an alternative to private Sync servers.

I feel much of the negative reaction to posts like these fails to grasp the main idea. My take is that you can use other architectural patterns than MVC and still benefit from Rails. In fact, you can use patterns that complement MVC. There

Could you elaborate? It would seem performance issues would be tied to whatever Angular code is being written. Or are there UI issues?

This article reminded me of how much things have changed since I was a child. I had a yellow Lego castle. There were no movie tie-ins. It was the archetypal medieval castle, enough to thrill the imagination. Then I thought of another childh

I wrote a blog post along similar lines [1]. The benefits are clear to me: nearly 200 tests run in about a second. For that reason alone I wouldn't consider coupling domain logic with ActiveRecord. 1. http://www.smashingboxe

Are there any reviews out yet on the echo cancellation? The Nexus 4 suffers from a bug that makes most VOIP apps useless. [1] Even though this should have been fixed by now, I would upgrade to the Nexus 5 if it only fixes this. 1. https:&#

My experience is that T-Mobile's 4G is the best. It beats Time Warner's cable modem. I'm able to stream HD Youtube without stalling on my phone but not at home. But the coverage is truly more limited.
