my gut-feeling that 5 minutes of additional work while committing can easily amount to 30 minutes of effort saved later I don’t need to rationalize being anal about my commits, of most I never visit again ;)

It seems they are now supported by IE judging from this page http://www.startssl.com/?app=40 which show icons of all the major browsers incl. IE but excl. Opera, and this page http://www.startssl.com/?app=22 which has the following text

Only class 1 certificates are free. This is a great service as it allows me to setup secure IMAP, SMTP, Jabber, etc. without having to pay a third party money for this extra security, and without having to bother my users with installing my

With the revenue of WikiLeaks I would think they have a personal account manager — I have one and he has told me that if my account is flagged for “being frozen” it has to pass through his desk first (so effectively it shouldn’t happen). No

I am not sure what exactly the original poster is referring to but the main feature of svn that git can’t do is treat each directory as its own repository. So if you make a repository like: src/ libs/ my_debug_lib/ my_core_lib

Probably a lot of the effectiveness comes from getting user spam classification feedback. The same letter is generally mass-mailed, so the chance someone got and flagged the spam you got, before you check your mail, is pretty high.

I would introduce ‘make’ in the build automation (level 3) section. Understanding make (dependency graphs, splitting up the build process into small tasks which can be parallelized, restarted, and leave an exact record of how much was succe

I would love a simple way to manage my DNS entries, like a version controlled text file :) I presently use a free service ( http://gratisdns.dk ) and also run bind9 for one domain (the free service can act as my backup NS) — I looked at

A disadvantage for the advertiser is that Google sees their ad as ineffective (no-one clicks it) and may discontinue it (at least at one point did they drop ineffective ads) — of course this ineffectiveness would apply equally to all ads (a

I think you are misrepresenting him. He says his paradigm is “start with the algorithm” (to make it generic) and that does not work in the OO model, and as an example he gives a simple max(a, b) function which he wouldn’t know how to writ

I did benchmarks on OS X (10.5) between asynchronous IO, mmap, stdio, and normal unix open/read (disabling caching) — it all came down to about the same after I had fiddled with page size, prefetch size, etc. to optimize each. This of cours

You suffix both C++ and Python with process , this makes me question how this is any different than using a socket?

2CO can do international wire transfers. I use them as a secondary account because some of my customers refuse to use PayPal, and 2CO really sucks compared to PayPal. They haven’t frozen my account, but their UI is crap, their fees are high

I’ve been using PayPal for five years and have had accounts in 3 different countries, personal and business. I have experienced my account having been frozen a few times, but in all but one case it was just a matter of uploading the require

The article is at least simplifying the issue. IANAL but the license for the product you bought has to specifically mention, that you are not allowed to break the DRM, but there are exceptions, for example you are allowed to break it for in

This stunt is lame as he is not violating any Danish laws, so why would Danish police arrest him? If he had done it on US soil though (perhaps in front of the US embassy) there could have been an actual dilemma.

I agree with the message of the post, i.e. make your tool do only one thing (the unix philosophy) but I am not sure breaking up a Markdown parser into a 3-staged pipeline is the best execution of it. Something like MultiMarkdown¹ converts M

Sounds similar to sorting by zip code. I don’t know how many postmen share each zip code. In Copenhagen the western district has been sub-divided into a lot of zip codes so it could be that each is its own route, but they only did it for th

URLs do not allow unicode but most user agents support http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name That said, non-ASCII URLs suck because not everyone can type them. Imagine being a tourist in Tokyo who has to lookup a rest

Agree, but still be aware of leap seconds. Probably you want to choose to ignore them (as “unix time” does), but know what that means.

The most local comes first because the rest is optional. Both in real life (“give that to Peter”) and to some degree for computer network addresses. You can email ‘peter’ which would be on same machine, ‘peter@arts’ which would be on the ‘a
