It is really a pity that there are so many browser extensions who get this right, but the browsers themselves don't. That's why it is so refreshing to see at least one of them (Firefox) actually trying to get it right. The technic

In my humble opinion, this should be the task of the browser, not the task of every site that links somewhere. Moreover, I always mute the speakers of my computer, for exactly that reason. When I do want sound, I usually connect my headset

The earliest instance I remember was the DeCSS debacle. In 2001 Dmitry Sklyarov published issues he found with the back-then popular so-called "copy protections". When he gave a talk at DEF CON in Las Vegas, he was arrested. http

That's a great approach to logging/debugging complex models on large datasets. I'm pretty sure this can be applied outside the math, e.g. on systems with complex business rule over large datasets.

While I agree in general, I don't buy this argument with regard to Facebook. People aren't "too busy" to waste a lot of time on Facebook. If anything, tight time constraints would make people not use Facebook in the firs

No, the word "reveals" is used because the code is revealed. Well, it's more a "log file" than "code", but that's detail. The point is that the "code" (log file) is usually hidden from ave

Not sure why you are downvoted. I fully agree with your complaint. The site loads slowly even on a decent internet connection - without any good reason. I'll probably never get why people are constantly struggling to get serving static

On the other hand, for LaTeX (see CTAN) this works astonishingly well. Those also have a much stronger emphasis on backwards compatibility of existing packages. I suspect this is not just a coincidence.

Nice covering of a certain well-known GoL pattern. If you like GoL, you should check out LifeWiki which is the largest and most up-to-date pattern collection (kind-of encyclopedia for the GoL universe) out there: http://www.conwa

To add to this, a "tl;dr" is only useful if written by people who actually read the whole article. That is, written by people who did not apply "tl;dr" themselves. In this particular case, the article clearly says: >

Not sure why you were downvoted, because I think you have a very good point. I often see us, as web developers, being blind to obvious, simple, local solutions. Perhaps this is because in many areas going from native to web is a win. Or,

Good point. It's not exactly that pose. I move my centroid more to the front, so the thighs are horizontal. Unfortunately, I found just one good picture of that kind of squatting position, which is NRSFW (not-really-safe-for-work): ht

I wasn't aware that squatting is such a big deal. I often find myself squatting while working at my laptop. Frankly, it's just for a few minutes, because at some point my feet will hurt. I wonder whether this is just a matter of e

I applaud the dedication and effort that the author puts into HIBP. One small suggestion, though: I wouldn't harm to ask somebody to proofread public statements like this, especially since this is a highly trust-related topic. The dens
