For those about to bemoan the breaking of things like Google Analytics: this patch only blocks third party cookies from domains that the user has never visited before. Since 99% of your visitors will have visited google.com, your Analytics

Some tips: You can track and checkout a remote branch in just one command: git checkout -t origin/foo If someone's working on a topic branch themselves, it might be better to rebase master rather than merging it: git checkout

It should still work even if you scroll like that — the browser fires its scroll events periodically, so they'll still fire, and CrazyEgg only cares about the furthest point that you scroll to. And thanks: I've been nursing some of their da

CrazyEgg[1], the click tracking tool, has a good interface that gives you a heatmap of how far people are scrolling down your page. It's very handy. [1]: http://www.crazyegg.com/

Even then, it would be better than the status quo — you'd need physical access to my phone to access my Apple account, preventing the kind of remote attacks that were made famous recently.

For the "create a local branch from a remote branch", a more sensible option is probably: git checkout -t origin/branch-name Other things that are useful: Push and track a branch at the same time: git push -u origin foo Merge

The best bit is in the comments: "Most marketing in the technology world is in the form of lies, to be impolite, even when the data is accurate. A device is revolutionary and will transform the world, and your old way of working will be rep

The colours are all coloured separately, so ensuring a good chance of an even mixture just involves combining equal amounts of each colour and mixing them up. Whatever amount you take, you're likely to have an even mixture of each colour.

It's already been done I'm afraid — certainly on snooker coverage in the UK, they frequently do VR demonstrations of possible alternative shots, VR views of different angles on the table, etc.

passwd -d destroys the ability to a) log in from a console and b) to use sudo, which might well be a dealbreaker for most people. Disallowing password auth in your sshd_config is typically a better option.

These restrictions fed into the website, too — hence every BBC News article having a very short lede paragraph. The headlines' noun-heavy wording also helped spawn the concept of "crash blossoms" — syntactically ambiguous headlines that had

Why would you even use blobs for forgot-password? Is there ever a reason to use them over a single-use, time-limited token?

Another problem I see is that we have a snapshot of data from friday. We cannot really link our data back to any of the original OSM data. So if we want to upgrade our dataset, we have to throw everything away that we have and start a new
