God I love GitHub. I had never contributed to any open source project before GH came along. Since then, I've contributed to at least 5, that I can remember. That's nothing compared to many, I know .. but how much does it all add up? What'

We don't have a two party system but we have a bi-factional ruling coalition. Great choice of words. I love how it applies equally well to the USA and China. I agree, of course, and think it applies to most modern democracies, in whom I h

Coupons? For what? More toothpaste? I buy six-month-supplies as is. And the whole thing seems to depend on this internal acceptance that what corporation A says is good for me, I should do. I would hazard a guess that there are plenty of pe

more people [play FarmVille] than have Twitter accounts but will they in a year? Two years? FarmVille seems to be an incredible fad to me; finally people can play a game with their real friends' names. But in the end I have to wonder abou

IMO that talk is beenz-level bullshit. Ask yourself this - would you use this? I sure wouldn't. And designing for other people is one of the key pitfalls of tech. You know why I brush my teeth? It's because I want my teeth to be clean and

They have two armed guards on duty, 24/7, in the missile command centre on the submarine !? Jesus. That's .. serious. I come from a Navy family so I love this kind of thing. The pictures of the sub looming out of the fog were particularly

I killed 2 macbook pro batteries in 2 years by not following this advice. Now I make sure to unplug and carrying around the laptop whenever I can. Eliminating all wired peripherals was a key step to actually doing this in practise.

Why did you need to create a new account to ask a question? Anyway, it depends on how much you practise (in both senses of the word) and/or challenge yourself. If you're learning to build web sites, say, maybe by the 5th or so project you'r

I presume the downvoter thought I was being condescending, but I was commiserating! That's the exact pattern I've fallen into too many times : /

If we're going to be using Adobe apps, I would have thought InDesign would be more suitable.

haha. I hear you brother. And let me guess, after spending the whole week burning the midnight oil and getting 3-4 hours sleep per night, you catch up by sleeping all day saturday? Try modafinil.

Woah, not 300MB per day! At that rate, it'll only take 9 years to fill up a 1TB drive! Oh noes!

Yeah. I used to disagree with you, but now I agree. You should write up a definitive guide for password security. For instance, I want to know if we should still use salts in the age of bcrypt, etc. Tell us what to do, man.

Nonetheless you must admit it is possible. If I did this, that's how I'd do it. Have a separate computer, locked down to the max, except for a couple of functions: accepting HTTP requests POSTing an encrypted password, then sending back the

Exactly right. Your hosting provider has physical access to the machine. There is no such thing as security under those circumstances.

Thanks a lot for that suggestion/link. I'm looking for new dedi hosting and I really love those guys. I'll be seriously thinking about moving to them. The most expensive combo package there is less than I pay right now. Plus, they're commit

1. I am not demonising, I am criticising. There is a fundamental difference. 2. It is based on much more than "rhetoric". 3. The group being criticised is not "informal and nebulous". I was, of course, speaking of the small, well-defined gr

Anyone who still has any shred of respect for these "public health experts", who by all appearances are little more than irrational single-interest zealots intent on pushing through their pet theory regardless of evidence, should seek out a

Yeah that "USA-Plus" label applies to us a bit too. Didn't we win gold in something? You can count on seeing that happy event in slow-motion about 3000 times over the next week.

Yes to all of that. And .. We use the latest in bank-level 256-bit SSL encryption to protect your information, and your passwords are securely encrypted. Right. 256 bits, like everyone else, like it makes some critical difference over 128

I thought you were going to go on one of your rants about how encrypting passwords is useless .. with which I happen to agree, btw.
