Not sure about re-enabling, but Firefox does alert you if another program installs an addon on your behalf, and asks you to confirm. IIRC, it was about FF15 that this happened, and it also asked for ones that were installed previously.

Watching the keynote video, I see "CCS 1 and CCS 2" as two of the supported standards. Is this meant to be CSS, or am I missing a standard somewhere?

My point is that changing the units doesn't have to change how you measure it. You can measure in kg or L just as easily, it's literally a number conversion. Whether or not you change how you measure it is a much more localised form of stan

This is fairly similar to fuel mileage, where some places use miles per gallon (distance per volume) while others use litres per 100km (volume per distance). Changing systems is fairly irrelevant though, since you can still measure your mil

To expand on what has already been noted: a good place for fast hashing is when you're using hashing millions of objects. For example, if I wanted to parse thousands of feeds and store items using a unique hash as their key, I'd want a fast

Despite what other people are saying, it is quite possible that we'll be taking parts of Symfony: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22325 At the moment, we're not considering dropping support for PHP 5.2, so we'll likely take the best

It's funny how many people say WP should drop 5.2 compatibility. It's certainly possible to push the hosts towards using 5.3, but the fact is that the user base simply isn't there yet.

by rmccue 14y ago
That's the aim. Whether we actually get land it in 3.6 or not is another issue, since 5.5 isn't stable yet, so it's not really an issue just yet. (Personally, I want it, but I can see there being friction, given the possibility of breakage.

In Australia, we've decreased to about 0.1 gun homicides per 100k: http://guncontrol.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1995-200... (Note: somewhat biased site) That's compared to 0.22 for DC, or 0.04 for Switzerland, so it's still higher

That's true for neodymium, but the majority of the world's production comes from China, which can be a concern politically, and if they raise prices, economically too. (Apparently Dysprosium is also mainly mined in China.) The argument usua

That's true, and it's something that's being discussed on the PHP core mailing list. However, I support PHP 5.2 (pragmatic reasons; 5.2 is still used by a huge percentage of hosts), so I wouldn't be able to use that anyway.

"Digits may not be concatenated--for instance, you cannot get a 23 by simply placing the 2 next to the 3." I think that renders both of your solutions invalid, but cool nonetheless!

It only does it when it needs to disambiguate between posts with the same "slug" (i.e. URL-friendly name). My guess is that in their drafts, there are two posts with the same slug, so WordPress added the -3 to disambiguate.

I think the big problem with distributed systems is how to address people. "@abc" is getting more and more synonymous with "abc" as a Twitter username, and App.net uses the same style. This already leads to confusion when they don't match (

Not sure where this is from, but I doubt it's true. Qantas has a fairly good safety record, and as far as I can tell (from Wikipedia and memory), only two incidents have occurred with 747s, and only one during landing: a 747-400 overran the
