You sir just saved me a lot of reading (not that its a bad article). I'm currently working on leveraging the distributed commit log service so my mind immediately assumed that's what the article was about.

It seems to work fine in Firefox but it is horribly broken in chrome as you said. They have a form for entering a CC number so my thought is this may in fact be real.

I miss my days on Ubuntu with i3 tiling window manager. I currently use an app called Amethyst[1] but find it to be a bit buggy at times and just doesn't live up to i3 or awesome. I wonder if hydra can be used as a launch point to crea

Personally I loathe having to use any sort of GUI because in general its slow and I cannot as easily automate tasks to customize my workflow. There's a reason there are more command line tools and GUI tools, the command line tools can

> The current fanatical TDD experience leads to a primary focus on the unit tests, because those are the tests capable of driving the code design (the original justification for test-first). I don't agree with this blanket statement

In the article the author mentions that hard work is table stakes, meaning everyone is working hard but you need to do something different to actually get ahead and stand out among your other hard working peers.

I got really excited when I saw the PyCon videos up and then really sad when his talk wasn't listed. Any idea whether that is the full set of videos they are going to post or are there more to come?

It amazes me that someone can get sentenced 14 years for shining a laser at an aircraft and there are people who get a DUI and don't face close to that amount of time. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a movement to ma

Cool thanks for the info. I don't actually use Dropbox's service but its awesome to see a solution that cares about the security of its users data.

The request can be signed and then checked for authentication on the back end. Using public key encryption it would be sent safely to the server and checked for authenticity.

I don't know anything about how Dropbox or Turtl handle data and when they do their encryption but it would still be possible for Turtl to do hash level checking even with client side encryption. They could just hash the file and encry

I was able to get into a situation where holding down the left key allowed me to get into a cycle of the tiles being split and then combined. This meant that I could get as high as score as I wanted. I got bored at 2662784 points. Edit: Jus

It looks like the infinite scroll only loads two times and then has a button to "load more" on the third time. Infinite scroll with a footer is generally a bad idea though. I would suggest either using a sticky footer so it's

Would love to see some steps to re-produce rather than a baity tweet. I use LastPass and have not seen this happen before but I agree its probably more likely from a password manager than a vulnerability with American Express.

That's fair. My argument is that you shouldn't muddy the implementation of a protocol for debugging purposes. It creates unnecessary complications that then have to be dealt with on either end in software. I think the problem that

One other thing to consider is that JSON was meant as a replacement to XML to be more concise and easier to use as well as being generally smaller in payload size. Adding comments, while good for people, is not really what it was developed

It's interesting, the first thing I thought of when looking at this was CSON ( https://github.com/bevry/cson ) which essentially just provides some syntactic sugar on top of JSON like CoffeeScript to JavaScript. I

That seems like a fair response. I tend to agree that sweeping refactorings tend to take a lot of time and it's better to break off small bite size pieces. That being said I really like some of the proposed improvements into vim. I won

A long time ago I created a filter that takes any message with the words "unsubscribe" and put it into a folder with the intention of writing something to go through and auto-click unsubscribe at some point.

Just out of curiosity how long did you use Aviate for. I would assume their algorithm just keeps track of how many times you use an app at a specific location and then the premise would be after some amount of time it would reach a general

I've also found this extremely useful. It lets you mark directories with a keyword and jump directly to them regardless of where you are. http://jeroenjanssens.com/2013/08/16/quickly-navigate-your-f...
