   These are the types of stories that Silicon Valley generates that never cease to amuse me. What we have here is a typical example of how agents act in a competitive capitalist environment. In a system where profit is all that matters, I fi

   If he _actually_ cares about the children he'll do something about it, like acting against child abuse in his community, rather than caring if CP is somehow encrypted in data located on his computer.

   Hmm, no obligatory info on how the "quad-core" affects power consumption vs. the Raspberry PI.

   I hate to crash the party, but this is a very odd move for an awesome company and a service that I use and <3. Github has always been against taking money. Actually, TPW has used some very harsh words criticizing startups that choose to

   It's kind of hard not to bash PHP for crap like this. Yes, the PHP ecosystem is friendly, easy, cheap, etc. etc. But as a programming language per se ... Come on, PHP.

   Yeah, deployment scenarios where you have no application layer, and can only deploy static assets (S3, GitHub pages and the likes).

    Why do I need to invest time in "fine tuning my social graph"? What's in it for me? And is it even my social graph? Facebook is not about "helping you connect to your friends", it's about buying eyeball-time and pumping commercials into y

    I believe that, at least for AWS, the us-east data center is drastically larger than eu-west.

    Why would you assume that? Persumably there should be no real reason why HASH(8_char_password) = 160_bit_hash should be less strong than HASH(160_bit_hash). Not only that, but most hashing algorithms already do several iterations before r

    Is a single-text-file-github-gist the best way to disseminate this piece of knowledge (originally by Peter Norvig, BTW)? What about a comprehensive explanation as to why those numbers actually matter? Meh.

    Great app. I actually had a showstopper with it just a few days ago [1], though the patch got merged pretty fast. Definitely consider dajngo-facebook if you need a quick and stable way to do Facebook integration. [1] - https://github.com/t

    The answer is a definitive yes . Facebook, on all accounts, is a business. A business is exists in order to make money, full stop. In today's world, user privacy, and ethical values do not exist in the economic formulas. Sure, it makes for

    Mozilla has been making outstanding progress in decreasing Firefox's footprint. At least from what I can see on the beta channel, things are getting much better, every single day. Props.

    Off the top of my head, here's one (somewhat) common use case that can break: pip install -e svn+http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk#egg=django It's definitely reasonable to keep the old repo up, for this case, and other

    Oh come on. Really, who cares about this? Github has /so/ much more to fix before moving the New Repo button up to the top bar. Cluttered news feed and activity stream and redundant notifications are issues that need desperate attention. Gi

    This is the same story over and over again. Fear propaganda (the notorious "cyber attacks") used to increase the clutch of the surveillance state (or rather, surveillance corporations) on our lives.
