Far from ideal, but if you really want to give it a try you can use the accessibility features on your OS. If you're using a Mac you can go to preferences, accessibility, display, and tick invert colors. Grayscale is also good. I recen

I don't like this kind of features. I understand that the rationale behind sites like Youtube is to feed you more content to be able to show you more ads, but I see it as a DoS attack to my productivity. Curiously, Google is starting t

I totally agree and it was actually the reason that I submitted it. I tried to read something from Wikipedia en español and got that even though I'm not in Europe. Do you think that the title "Wikipedia in Spanish also shuts dow

In my experience, putting numbers to your gut feeling probabilities causes people to not take them seriously. Example: "I think there is 30% chances that I will get a promotion next month". If I say 30% people ask how I came up wi

By just checking the index looks like there is not much about front-end TDD, which is a real challenge in web developmt (e.g.implementing a calendar UI widget).

Good question. The specific problem that I'd like to tackle is sharing code as safe as possible. The happy path is that you have some code to share and I want to get it exactly as you wrote it. Right now the current issues with just us

In security many things are "potential" threats. Just being unlikely doesn't mean that the threat doesn't exists. For example, a guy found a potential threat in rails[1], and rails developers dismissed his findings as un

I didn't mean that this is going to happen. I wanted to give an example of a potential threat. My idea was to show one of many problems with centralization and relying so much in GitHub and GitHub SSL certs. Maybe we can start signing

No. I was overwhelmed by the whole situation and public hospitals here are kind of crazy. On the positive side they're public and if anyone (citizen or not) needs medical aid it's free up to a certain point (they're not going

This is a wake up call. Too many things are relying on Github right now. Microsoft was part of the PRISM program. If Microsoft shares SSL certs with NSA they could do MITM attacks. What if in some very specific cases you download dependenci

What about 500 years ago where families would sleep all in the same floor and your parents would be having sex meters away from you? And the lords could do whateverthey wanted. There were not much privacy for most people at that time.
