> What's your source for the Spanish press, if I may ask? In case you don't know Spanish press is completely partisan, some newspapers lie openly without any kind of remorse. That said, I was reading El País (center-left) and i

The Spanish press is reporting that after the plane was delayed (it was expected to land in the Canary Islands) they had to confirm the permission, and it was granted as expected. The Spanish foreign ministry said they never denied landing

Something like this was missing since they removed the uploads [1]. Basically a release bundle may not be exactly the same stuff you have in your source code repository. You may need to generate documentation, configure files, run setup.py

If I try django-yarr I'll give you feedback (GitHub issues). I didn't feel like starting one of these myself, but I can use/contribute to an existing project. Thanks for sharing!

Also: - https://bitbucket.org/tghw/django-feedreader - https://github.com/ahernp/django-feedreader Now I need some time to test them all and pick one as my private self-hosted feed reader.

"sometimes all the energy and time put into editor discussions dishearten me" And he wrote a post about it. That's putting a lot of energy, isn't it? It's interesting how one can feel attached to a sophisticated too

Open source your code and you may get some extra eyeballs to avoid this kind of issues.

Read the notes: http://www.youtube.com/html5 Not all videos are in webm format, you can add &webm=1 to any search URL. ie. Hacker News search: about 3,780,000 results, about 1,320,000 results with webm flag. In fact som

See: http://www.youtube.com/html5 Unfortunately the amount of videos encoded only with h.264 is still important and you can't avoid Flash if your browser/OS doesn't provide h.264. So yes, having open video

Unless you're using tracking mechanisms such as the discussed in the post, the only information the sender has is that the destination SMTP server acknowledged the delivery. After that, you know nothing. The mail could be deleted strai

Congratulations! One thing I miss in Bitbucket is repo discovery. There's no way, or at least I can't find it, to browse the repositories filtering by language, popularity, etc. 1 million users, I don't know how many repos, but I can tell y

Looks great! I miss one thing: PGP signature files. I've been checking one of my packages and PyPI is showing the .asc file but crate only shows the sha256 hash.

I think that the problem is not the personalisation but all the stuff they had to build to make it happen, the side effects of prioritising Google+. I don't mind a functionality that I can disable, the real issue is all the stuff I need to

Yep, that's the point. DRM won't stop piracy, but it will make things harder for legit users (my favourite is: DRM requires _whatever_ and Linux is not supported).

You've been a month in Rackspace, but thanks for your response.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but your comment is very interesting. I've been using an open source project from Rackspace (python-cloudfiles) for a couple of years now and suddenly the repository has disappeared from _rackspace_ GitHub accou

I use Xabber and I'm very happy with it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xabber.and... But if I can't talk with my contacts using a Gmail account, then is not that useful.

Thanks for the info! EDIT: well, not really good news as they kill the federated support.

That's for the new Hangouts service. If you can keep using XMPP with your Gmail account, then it's not that terrible. I don't know if it's a forced replacement. We may need to wait for Google's announcement.

by reidrac 13y ago
Can someone confirm Google is killing XMPP and its server-to-server federation? The Verge says Hangouts is not using XMPP but does it mean that XMPP (Google Talk) is definitely going away?

You're comparing things that are different. When you install a package with apt-get: - it comes from a repository that has been signed by the distributor. - the package has been tested and has a good level of integration with the system (ie

Well, I once attended a party where a guy typed a 128 bytes program in binary form (using ALT + number) in edit, run it in DOS and the thing did what was expected. That was amazing and totally worth the wait :) The 90s, don't ask.

So FreeType font hinting functionality was disabled for years because software patents held by Apple, and now Apple is using FreeType on iOS. Amazing. I live in the EU and I've been using freetype-freeworld package for years before the pate

I never send an ODT, just a PDF. My feeling is that it is just a business for them (as in not "helping me") and they will change anything in my CV (yes, lie; or worse: it will look like I lied) to get me an interview and get their share.

by reidrac 14y ago
I always use PDF, but most agencies will ask you for the CV in an editable format. I specially dislike that, but if you think about it nothing prevents them to copy & paste into a doc document (well, if they ask for an editable format m

These guys sell new cartridge releases for Commodore 64 and Atari jaguar: http://rgcd.bigcartel.com/ They are "a retro game publishing business".

by reidrac 14y ago
I agree with you. Besides, how do they use the private key? Are they using a GPG agent o anything like that? Do they enter the password every time they need to use the private key? Having the private key in the web frontend sounds like a ba
