Actually, you can commit from github. Go to any file and hit Edit at the top right. It's a single file editor, so don't expect much out of it, but it is conceivable for someone to contribute without using git. And to your point, you cannot

They're not making a Twitter clone, they're just cloning some of the features of networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Poor wording. It should be: > Last night, I needed a way for a webhook to be notified each time I posted a new tweet. Tweets can come from a variety of sources, so hooking in at the source isn't always possible or even reasonable.

The grammar on that is also confusing. Is it IP && (impersonation || deceptive behavior) or is it (IP && impersonation) || deceptive behavior? If it's the former (which is how I interpret it), then they should tell you what

I believe the implication is that they are stored hashed and salted.

What is "messy" about it specifically? I don't see much mess here. Good typography and a visually-interesting layout.

Why would Google want to mine private video streams when they already have a whole library of static content in the form of YouTube? Besides just the privacy concerns, it would be easier to work with content that's sitting on a disk somewhe

Your name becomes locked after 200 likes: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=271607792873806 For the username, everyone (including users) is allowed one name change. Presumably, Facebook can bypass these seemingly arbitrary limitations, b

It wasn't working for me before, but appears up now that I'm at home. I was on Georgia Tech campus (which I believe peers with Level3 for most commercial traffic), if that helps. Might have been a backend/infrastructure thing (like I hoped)

And, ironically, their site is down. That's a pretty bad sign for a service that's supposed to provide a more performant installation of Wordpress. I hope it's actually something on the hosting side of things (or maybe they don't use WP for

I'm willing to bet it's thought of more as a drastically increased profit margin.

If it gains exclusive control of your webcam, then that's one way of knowing. It would pre-empt any other control.

Anyone have a quick summary of this?

This is great. The only thing I have a gripe with is: > They are guaranteed to run the latest version of Android for 5 years. 5 years is too long. The HTC Dream, the first Android phone, was released less than 4 years ago. It only has a

But to be fair, they've said everyone with a Facebook username gets username@facebook.com. You can visit a profile, look at the URL, and put 2 and 2 together. It'd be worse if it was a randomized, private email address that was made public.

Yeah, they're attempting to do a time shift with some sort of echo-y dithering going on. Since it's digital, no dithering is needed!

That's actually a completely valid test to run: what happens when the API's results change on you? You should test that.

Your examples describe two entirely different systems. The failover of a software product is drastically different from the failover of a power system. Trying to map everything back to a common best practice under the category of "risk" see

Is it just me, or does the word "like" make it really hard to grok the blog post and documentation? I think it's the fact that they don't capitalize the word. That one change would make it so I don't have to force my brain into not readin

They already do this to an extent with permissions. It's not as in-your-face about it, but it's certainly far more fine grained (read vs. write access, more services have permissions, etc.)

It sounds to me like you never played Diablo 2. The basis of that game was repeating through the same content (albeit with randomly generated maps) in search of better and better gear. This mechanic hasn't fundamentally changed in Diablo 3.

Interesting that the new Maps makes no mention of public transit support. Is that gone completely now? It looks like your app can register as a "router" to support different types of navigation routing, but it would suck if that is no longe

I'm actually really happy when acquisitions go down like this. That is, when they keep their product running long enough to make the transition easy (i.e., not Meebo) and open source the product. Particularly that last piece because it op
