I sort of learnt it from books I got in the bookstore and school library. I will not name them, because they're not in English. At the same time I spent 8 years learning it day in day out in high school and university, so it's har

If you find above creepy, you should probably be creeped out by spam filters too (for at least 20 years now). Those are some third parties deciding what will get into your mailbox and what will not, based on questionable criteria. There wer

Why? Just use different address for the legitimate service and whitelist it. If an address is out there on some spam list, you'll be getting spam to it eventually. I have different rules for different addresses. Public e-mail adresses

It can be seen as a message (as you say) to a wider populace that this is all getting in a wrong direction. If government is hiding from its own populace what its doing with drones, who should raise this issue? Why not people working on the

I download profiles I'm interested in of course. Not everything. 70 profiles with 75000 tweets take 5GB for JSON + images + linked pages content + 60GB for videos. I didn't optimize for space at all, twitter's json is quite w
