The article confuses two related but separate questions. The first is who caused the collapse. The second is whether or not they did something illegal. On the first point, the article claims the banks are "not guilty", which isn't really tr

This is not much more than a poorly titled straw man argument. The argument is not that fraud caused the collapse, but that fraud was discovered during and after the collapse, and that fraud should be prosecuted. Ultimately it doesn't matte

Mercurial has the same ability to change history as git, it just doesn't make it the default workflow. The mq extension (Mercurial Queues) lets you pull existing changesets into a temporary queue, fold them, reorder them, etc. The rebase ex

To be fair, most legal codes become much more bloated over time. You can hardly blame the legal realism movement for this correlation.

Absolutely wrong. If you do not have a license to use the image or know for a fact that it is in the public domain, then it is a safe bet that you are in violation of the copyright. And just because you think you could reproduce the image

Just because it is widely used does not mean it's not a copyright violation. Someone took the photo, and they own the copyright to it. Unless you have an explicit license from that copyright holder, then most likely you are violating the co

A month or two ago I spoke to someone working in these shops. Apparently, they're using the FPGAs to run many of the high-bandwidth algorithms, because going from NIC to motherboard to CPU and back again added too much latency. So they prog

If you just save this to a .user.js file, add the user script headers, and open that file in Chrome, it'll install it as an extension. Edit: removed broken script.

The real problem, according to Lafon, is that with HTTPS you lose the ability to cache. I'm fairly certain this is false, unless they're talking about proxy caching. Normal browser caching works equally well in HTTPS as it does in HTTP.

I tried it a few months ago. I created a new repo and tried to add a file. It gave me an error. So I tried a different way of adding a file. It crashed hard. TortoiseHg for Mercurial, on the other hand, is a pleasure to work with, especiall

To clarify a few things: 1. Tim, our sysadmin, was the emergency contact and was on top of things ASAP, but didn't have the particular knowledge to fix it himself. That required a developer. 2. He called me first, since the problem appeare

Last time I tried TortoiseGit, adding a file either didn't work or just crashed hard. Mercurial, on the other hand, just got TortoiseHg 2.0, which is a pleasure to work with. It is true that git works on Windows, but that doesn't mean it wo
