   We can't keep going on like this. The vulnerability of centralised internet infrastructure is a huge problem for everyone. Somebody, somewhere, really ought to sort it all out

   I think a lot of people are confused at the lack of comparative statements here. As far as I can tell, every single benefit listed in this article also comes with, say, a Python/Django stack.

   I am convinced the supposed hackers, as identified by krebsonsecurity, are patsies. The purpose of the attack was to undermine confidence in Twitter as a platform, which is why the attack was intentionally amateurish.

   Well my dotfile repo was archived, which to my knowledge has never had any viewers other than me. I think it may well be all of GitHub, or at least all repos that pass some measure of uniqueness

   This was one of the best articles I've read all year. I'll be sure to check out the author's other work.

   I'm intrigued by these typos. q to g, u to v, n to b. Are you using a handwriting recognition system, by any chance?

   Interestingly, I've noticed that in certain parts of the Amazon website these prices are rounded up for display. Maybe the price jumps out more when given in this format, since it breaks the pattern? I also notice that multibuy deals i

    Yep. The languages used in the repo is the first bit of information I look for. That little visualisation was a very clever feature and a highly efficient use of space.

    I think the trend you're describing comes down to post-modernists' general rejection of objective truth, which the scientific method relies on. This excerpt from the Chomsky-Foucault debate sums it up well[0]. I like the idea as a

    Dolphins and whales are even-toed ungulates. They only entered the ocean about 40m years ago.

    I recently had to download an image attachment from Gmail. The download button didn't work and the context menu (the proper route for saving an image) had been disabled. I had to go into Dev tools to get it. The internet is broken.

    Does your government have much of an open source culture? I think these arguments were already had (and won) in the UK, for instance. https://github.com/alphagov https://github.com/hmrc https://g

    But why should isOdd, isEven and isNumber reside in seperate packages? Surely a single math tools package should cover all of this?

    To be fair, the kind of ads social media companies have been most criticized for (those masquerading as real posts) are exactly the sort adblockers don't effect.

    I think more conventional entheogens and empathogens like LSD, psilocybin, 2CB and MDMA are far more promising. Bear in mind that violent criminals are highly likely to be mentally ill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con

    This seems like a really fun problem and I think you found the solution with the best cost/effort ratio. The first thing that sprung to mind on seeing the problem for me was to use the fact that products often come in several colour va

    In what possible sense could a building from 1567 be 'London's earliest theatre'? Has the journalist misunderstood something about it being the earliest of the Elizabethan era?
