Lots of people don't know their birthday, or if they do, it was written down as 1st Jan (or another memorable date), because their parents/carer didn't know when they came to register them, if they ever registered them. There

We also receive a phenomenal amount of noise due to browser extensions and so on. Switching to HTTPS helped, and so has filtering out errors from scripts on domains we don't expect (i.e. not our main domain or CDN's domain). We al

The post in question specifically talks about catching client side errors in browsers, for which there isn't any real alternative to JS.

I wrote a simple tool for syncing an S3 bucket to local disk: https://github.com/newspaperclub/hank I found the existing s3 syncing tools used lots of memory when dealing with many small files, so I wrote this in Go, t

VMWare ESXi (and Fusion too, I expect) runs legitimate installations, with no hacks required, as long as it's on Apple hardware. You need the InstallESD.img file from the OS installer.

We use Barman, which is similar, using rsync to ship WAL files to a different server. http://www.pgbarman.org/

The CEO has already stated that the private key had passphrase encryption, which is strong, and only stored in their heads. You have to take their word on that, but I don't see any proof of CCs being decrypted.

This looks really interesting. We've been using the nginx-push-stream-module to achieve something similar, but the public facing HTTP API design isn't very flexible, so something that lets you configure this explicitly would be great. http

This guide also talks a little more about the trust model behind it, which is interesting. It sounds like it might be slightly out of date though, as it refers to the author as having just landed the patch, which happened 8 years ago.

Linux has tc, the command line tool, and some other scripts that sit on top of that, like wondershaper. On Windows, there's a few mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1094760/network-tools-tha...

OS X has a handy GUI tool called the Network Link Conditioner, which lets you easily set up simulated network conditions. The inbuilt profiles are a bit optimistic, I find, but it's easy to add more. It's just tc or the BSD equivalent under

We've just spent a few months writing a component of our stack that uses Objective-C/Cocoa, because it's the only environment that supports a very specific API that isn't available on any other platform to same the level of quality. We used

Unfortunately for Nokia, Apple purchased C3, the company that provided that data. As I understand it, it won't be updated again.

Just to confirm, this is only caused by 10.8.2, not the EFI firmware update. So you can rollback to a 10.8.1 backup and everything works fine.

Sorry, you just seem very upset about it all. I don't recognise "crack-addled UX design community" you think this belongs to. Everyone I know working on Little Printer is intelligent, thoughtful and very grounded in reality. They've spent a

I used to run backups onto VHS tapes using a PCI/ISA card adaptor. IIRC, you could get about 2GB on a tape, with a SVHS recorder, or 1GB on a normal drive. Something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArVid Of course, it was absolute
