Don't know about the OP, but I use a combination of sneakernet and scp to keep keepassx up to date across machines.

In Firefox at least, you can open the post from the RSS feed and read it without Javascript: http://gaasedelen.blogspot.co.uk/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss...

Coincidentally I did this just this week. I believe there's no need to track quotes, just if it has an opening quote or not. That RFC really explains it all very well. The only edge case I had was with empty records (foo,,bar) and that

I do not like Eclipse - it is clunky and often requires restarts to pick up changes or clear itself of confusion - and have never used Android Studio, but AFAICT the latter is still not the recommended editor according to the Android docume

Firefox has no XSS mitigation built in unlike Chrome and even Internet Explorer. NoScript provides that for Firefox, even if you allow global scripts for practicality purposes you're getting XSS protection. And I realise that there are

For now Australis only breaks visual add-ons, but I can see a drive to align, i.e. remove features from, the desktop version so it is more like the mobile versions. The thinking being - Australis is visually more like the Android version of

I worry that desktop Firefox will go the way of the Android version or the neutered Firefox OS browser, where you cannot install the vital security add-on NoScript due to the incompatible add-on model that the mobile versions use. That used

I just didn't "get it" as I had no idea what it meant by a reference time. Normally a time is formatted like %Y-%m-%d and so on, these examples look nothing like that so I had no idea that 2006 is how they spell %Y, 01 is %m,

It was one of the things I hated about Go! I am entirely comfortable with the POSIX-style %Y, %m, etc. formatting and having to learn Go's silly way to do it annoyed me no end. The documentation should be much more explicit about wha

Was the commit that added the problem not this one? It adds the issuer_version and returns it as the value for the check instead of returning 0. https://www.gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls/commit/12f135e099a57...

It might not be malice on the part of the packager. It could be that their machine is deliberately compromised.

Not facebook examples, but things I've seen are as follows. All these were fixable to be correct for both GCC and Clang (it's worth it for the clang static analysis). GCC can call the base destructor explicitly in destructors (an

I did. Maybe I should give it another shot. I recall my problem was trying to understand how to sync files I already had in other directories. Things certainly were not sync'd automatically. In the walkthrough it says you need to git-a

Have you been able to use it? It is less user friendly than the proprietary solutions. There's tons of documentation, but nothing that says "here's how to use it like bittorrent sync". In fact IIRC the docs specifically

The workspace switcher is another strange one. In Gnome the workspace switcher icon showed a mini-preview of the window layouts. In Unity this is just a static icon made to look like a mini preview! This seems cargo-cultish, as though the U

I'd prefer the lot-more security that using https would provide. I cannot believe that Amazon is served almost entirely over plain-text http, with only the initial log-in done over https. At least that's on the various European ve

What about that funky braces style? Code with wrong braces or whitespace messups indicate a lack of care. If the coder can't put a { in the right spot, what else has he screwed up?

Regarding the first-edition Nexus 7 - Canonical will no longer produce Touch images for it, so the author of this article is going to be even more disappointed during 2014. https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg05

One of my work mates uses this technique too. I remap my caps to ctrl. Hilarity ensues whenever he tries to use my keyboard for pair programming.

The Peak+ isn't available. It seems like they have canceled it, unfortunately. If you read the forums then a few people with pre-orders have had them bumped to the Revolution. I'm sure the GP guys are doing their best - they seem

If Google wanted to, they'd figure out a way. It just isn't in their interest. They only care about the new shiny. We'll see what happens with the 2012 Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 this time next year. They'll probably be discont

Reading from the SD card permissions at least was more subtle. IIRC the File you got back was simply null, no Exception or anything at all. This isn't what you would expect from the API call or documentation. Perhaps that's the ha

I haven't seen a detailed breakdown of the freedom problems with Firefox OS, but it looks to be more or less the same as Android in the cupcake era - really basic core applications and a phone that works, but not much third party stuff

Well one theory is that simply setting up a site that you can download an APK from is a hassle. It either costs you bandwidth if it's your own server, or has terrible UX if it is hosted via a share site. There's always https:&#x2

Oh come on! It's a classic case of out-sourcing, isn't it? Workers in Poland get paid a lot less. The min wage in Poland is €384 per month ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_count... ) or
