You shouldn't be able to see it with Wireshark, given that it's HTTPS, but you should be able to MITM it (assuming you can make yourself a CA, that's trivial).

What's ironic (IMO) is that Google has pushed hard for this with Chrome's background updating, yet here is against it. I'm sure it's an inadvertent consequence, but it still seems strange.

The fact that the line contains "dev" twice is probably indicative of forgetting to disable it.

Indeed, I do exactly that: http://requests.ryanmccue.info/ I completely agree on cURL's design though. It's painfully obvious when working with the cURL bindings in PHP that it didn't have much thought put in to adapting it to PHP's const

Agreed on keyword args. I maintain Requests for PHP [1] which has a very similar API to Python Requests, and at the moment, you have to use an array as the options parameter. $options = ['timeout' => 0.5]; $r = Requests::get('

IIRC, Powermat etc. uses inductive charging, whereas uBeam uses ultrasound (see MediaSquirrel's comment).

Indeed, it also affects http://httpbin.org/ which makes it way harder to test clients. Considering the spec has been out since 2010, you'd think they'd have fixed it by now.

By definition, GET, HEAD, PUT and DELETE are idempotent: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html I personally agree with the parent. PATCH should be idempotent; overwriting values with new values is idempotent and that sho

From what I gather from the Wikipedia page, it's due to the transmission cables being underwater and hence having a much larger capacitance, which is a larger loss than normal DC loss. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that.) So, while AC is stil

I'm the developer of Requests ( https://requests.ryanmccue.info/ ) which might be something for you to consider bundling with Opauth. There's a whole host of problems with using file_get_contents on various hosts, hence why cURL is so often

Wouldn't this be solved with a merge commit? If I can see where a commit merged in, I could prove that I didn't author it, as I don't have access to the other author's machine.

5.3 and 5.4 are a lot better, but I can't say I'd use them for long running daemons. Personally, I usually use Python daemons that spin up a PHP instance if they need.

I've been looking for an alternative to something like this (ala Ingredients) for Windows. Does anyone know of one that exists? (Also, one that supports PHP would be nice, although the ability to add other languages is fine, I can write tha

I'm doing some work at the moment using Kinects. Obviously, the range and accuracy is much reduced, but for $100, it's not bad for the price. I'd expect that LIDARs can come down a lot in price once they stop being speciality equipment and

You can send a signal to php-fpm to reload configuration without restarting (at least, the way I read it). My /etc/init.d/php-fpm has "reload" with `kill -USR2 $PHP_PID`

In addition, it illustrates the utility of well-written commit messages with judicious use of the blame utility.

I agree, but then we hit the problem that the W3C stuff moves so slowly. We can end up with a situation where all modern browsers (WebKit-based, Firefox and Opera, maybe even IE) implement the same property, but the W3C standard hasn't caug

It uses the humidity in the air, so it's possible that with a larger number of these in the area, the humidity would be reduced to a point where there is none left to remove.

I've looked into using this before and couldn't work out why I'd want to use it over alternatives, or how it stored data. I think the new website is fantastic, as I now know all of this and more just from a quick glace. Great work.

In comparison though, there's no way I'd ever be caught wearing either of those. Google's glasses, on the other hand, are unobtrusive enough that I'd probably wear them. Importantly, they don't cover your entire face. Given that the area ar

Exactly. An autonomous car can make the decision to swerve into the empty lane next to you much faster than you ever could, if for nothing else than increased situational awareness. The sensors are monitoring a 360 degree view constantly, w

I think "via" is the original source, and "hat tip" is how you found it (i.e. another site that linked to it). (Or the other way around. I agree with Marco on that one, I think it's confusing.)

I'm just starting to study EE in Australia at UQ, so I'm definitely going to be looking at this and seeing how it compares to my EE courses here.
