This'd work pretty well with git hooks. Pretty sure you could configure a server so that if you pushed to a repository on it it'd recompile the website. That'd be pretty handy.

True, it could be. If they went to the trouble to integrate the two and develop the solution. But that begs the question: why use GPS? Use the same map information with the non-GPS location calculations that could be automated. GPS is just

Humans, like water, take the easiest route. Unless someone is particularly vigilant and routinely checks the gyroscope to verify the course the GPS is using you wouldn't notice the "hijack" till it was too late. Most people I

Is there a way to seed /dev/urandom and /dev/random from it?

Wow, this would bypass the execution constraints we put on the upload directories. Usually I make an uploads folder rw-rw-rw (0666); it would take another attack in conjunction with it, but that's really something.

So, given that virtually every HTTP request has a uniform header, you'd need an adequate number of requests to the same page. That sounds impractical, but it won't stay that way for long. 2^24 is only 16.77 million requests, somet

This is not limited to blogs. Most news outlets do the same.

Hi. Laravel user/contributor here. I suggest you try the framework before judging it based on a benchmark . Not sure about their system/code, but a large production application with APC (Laravel 3.2.14, just like the benchmark) h

No. It's not. But we have this discussion every time the "GitHub is down" threads pop up. If you don't like it, downvote/flag.

Perhaps I misinterpreted, or perhaps I carried his thought further.

BASIC? Are you kidding? If we all had such short attention spans we would have thrown our hands up at assembler and would have said, "forget this computer stuff!" The "computer age" would never have happened.

I would use it if I didn't have to use a Google Account to sign in. Why not Mozilla Persona?

Anyone else get the H. Beam Piper reference?

Of course it doesn't mesh. You have to weigh each statement and part of the reputation and try to determine if it's misinformation.

We predominantly use our feet. Unless someone's snowed in, sick, or subcontracted (and not local) we just walk on over to their desk and talk. Or, hold an ad-hoc meeting. When someone's physically absent from the office, we have n

Interesting rant. Some of the things the OP takes as disappointing, or as a design flaw, I see as a good thing. I've no problems with string concatenation. In fact, I consider overloading + as a concatenation operator to be risky in a

I wonder if an Arduino could fill the role of the PDP-11. I know it doesn't come with any kind of interface, but I wonder if it's open source enough for them. That, plus the $30 price tag to swap in/out to replace a dead unit

Sure an audit could confirm that there is no "malicious" data collected, but it still won't prevent the use of that data in a malicious manner.

Just think of the kind of blackmail material the NSA would have on our representatives under this program. All it would take is "probable cause", which seems very easy to get, to unearth that data and start blackmail or expose the

White text on a pure red background is murder to my eyes. I don't care that you think it's urgent... when I can't read the text because my eyes are too busy bleeding.

This was one of the reasons why I did not switch to Linux, but switched to OS X. The factor of "just buy it and it works" is really appealing, especially from my Windows system-builder past. (I reinstalled Windows XP 6x in about a

I wrote a simple service in Go that takes <11MB RAM and can handle 7500 requests/sec. That was a fast one-off when playing around. I've never had even a simple Sinatra app run half that fast.

Could somebody explain the Motion to Quash who has an understanding of it? I thought it only applied to a subpoena, and so would not apply without one.

I agree. I asked that last question because I doubt the American public these days. The politicians that enabled these fiascos deserve every bit the same punishment as the organization(s) that overstepped their proper bounds. I hope both ar

I know a retired NSA analyst. When I asked him what he thought of the NSA wiretaps, etc, he was silent for a bit. Then he said one of the most important things I've heard politically (paraphrased, I wish I wrote it down): > The orga

I'd suggest that if you know where these subjects can be found online, and since there are many who state that they don't have $1000, that you should post the links here. Those of us that wish to take the course by Cody will still

Do you mean "accessible" as in, disabled-friendly accessibility, or as in it has been removed. Because from what I see it's still there.
