An application can only read passwords you've specifically allowed it to. When you upgrade Transmit it only gets access to that subset. If you're curious go to Keychain Access, double click an item and look at the Access Control tab. You ca

That article has no technical information at all, it seems to be pure click-bait. Does anyone know more? Are they moving the RAM or replacing with some flash derivative? Something else?

Apart from the obvious problem of letting third party software have full access to your bank account. It's a breach of my bank's terms of service, so I would be responsible for fraud if I used it. No thanks.

If you were using Oracle or MS SQL you'd be quite familiar with what Postgres calls a schema. The SQL standard as I understand it is very vague on how schemas should be implemented beyond the information schema.

They certainly do. If you want to SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition on Windows 7 you get that message - you have to get R2.

Excellent! Here in NZ a lot of professional contracts have a 'no salary disclosure clause' that prevents you from discussing your salary with coworkers. We've generally worked around it by using things like tax and student loan deduction ra

It really depends on where you are. There is a lot of gang activity in the more impoverished areas - even though NZ is a welfare state the benefits are set at a starvation level, which leads to the associated crime. It would pay to ask loca

In most countries milk production is heavily subsidised or price controlled as it produces measurable health benefits to children. In New Zealand this is not the case - farmers don't get direct subsidies, though they do have a novel tax sys

What do they mean 'virtually non-upgradable'? It's actually non-upgradable! Annoying that I can't upgrade the RAM though, that's the only part I've changed in recent years - because it's so much cheaper DIY.

I interviewed with Google at the end of last year. The only thing I took away was that their recruitment people aren't very good at pre-screening and they seemed to like wasting my time. The first two interviews were OK, basic UNIX admin an

Thanks for the succinct explanation. I can see why that'd be useful for some constructs.

I'm confused, aren't blocks just a hack around a lack of first class functions and/or closures? The actual complaint seems to be that JavaScript's scoping rules are different to his expectations and 'this' binding is, well, we know.

You're definitely not alone. It's cross platform, so it's not quite at home on OS X, it just feels wrong somehow. Pity really.

And F# running under Mono executes in 0.950s and the code is shorter, where standard Python 2.6 takes 1m36s. This isn't about pure speed.
