You'd have some sort of error threshold/rate limit[1] at which point the server is marked dead and falls out of the backends list, surely? Or even, an alarm threshold if responses are averaging /too fast/, based on your expected load &

It means that something like the excellent annotated source reviews by Fabien Sanglard of Quake[1], Quake2[2], Q3[3], etc.. aren't possible. Nor any ports to attempt ot make it compileable/runnable. Code isn't supposed to be hung on a wall.

I was poking around at NoScript surrogates for GA the other day, I reformatted the code they're using in a comment here[1] Seems to be using the special (to FF, at least) __noSuchMethod__ property[2] to catch all calls to the GA object. [1]

Recent versions of Ghostery (and NoScript) both provide 'surrogate scripts' to replace common JS resources that are expected to work by the active page. You can see the noscript[1] ones at about:config (search for noscript.surrogate.*) but

A while back I wrote a perl wrapper[1] for the CProps[2] Character-Trie, and found the library interface quite nice to deal with, even for a complete noob at perl-xs. They have a bit-trie listed as well (I only ever needed strings) which mi

Possibly due to disobeying the instructions signposted here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7702913.stm The apparent number of people who request tattoos in foreign scripts without bothering to check their translation is also surprising

You're still breeding resistance, just slightly slower. In the best case, the full treatment kills all of them, or enough that your immune system can eliminate them completely. Resistance doesn't develop because it doesn't get a chance. The

Switching standard fixtures over to copper based alloys (which have antimicrobial properties[1]) might be a good place to start. I'm not sure to what extent the physical plant (walls, floors, etc) is the primary source of transmission compa

'resistant' isn't the same as 'totally unaffected by' - it's a spectrum, and the duration of treatment is one of the factors which determines how much of that spectrum is killed. At the 'I feel better now' stage, there could still be quite

There was some discussion in a thread a few days back[1] in which I asked a similar question. It boils down to "possible, but very easy to screw up, and for what is probably relatively small benefit." The only benefits I can think of for th

The "obvious"[1] solution would seem to be to find a way of storing it until the transport/processing infrastructure can be implemented. There are afaik existing schemes already using depleted gas fields as storage reservoirs[2] into which

It does use the 'do fancy things with HMAC signed tokens' to handle password reset though, which (as a general scheme) has been criticised vs the 'store random dumb token, details in the DB' method, for being difficult to do right and open

But what about us truly paranoid? You should look into getting together with some sort of independent offshore hosting facility and running some remix overlay network services. I could totally put you in touch with this guy... Seriously tho

A similar rote recitation exercise I recall from (a british) school was of the form '[Seven] [Seven][s] [is|are] [Forty-Nine]', of which only the 'is' is redundant, and is a single short syllable.

It appears better than most [of the non-DB] implementations I've seen, and as huxley mentions downthread, newer releases do have settings.PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS which defaults to 3 to deal with timeouts. It doesn't handle point 6 of tp

The django-password-reset app appears to be pretty much equivalent to the django.contrib.auth.views version, except, as you say, with CBVs and perhaps some extra customisability in the templates and user lookup methods. The main criticism

Just because you agree to a thing doesn't mean you like it. When enough people have been sufficiently pissed off about an issue, you get demonstrations, riots, and all sorts of mass protests about The State Of That Thing We Don't Want/Like.
