As faculty at UNC CS, I can mournfully confirm this is indeed the case. He passed peacefully at his home in Chapel Hill earlier this evening, surrounded by family.

That your commits are made locally, in a clone of the entire repository, is decentralized. Your local respiratory accrues history as divergent (and unbeknownst) from upstream as you'd like it to. If you're going to collaborate i

FWIW, Brown University was doing research in this *Pad field (stylus-based input apps for domain specific notations) in the late 90s/2000s. I was a member of this group for a brief period of time. It's really exciting to see a res

What I'm finding from using and talking to beta users of DidSum (referenced in another comment on this post) is that the act of physically tracking a behavior has value in building habits and improving toward goals (or being extra awar

I'm building a mobile app, called DidSum, that focuses on your #2 "Avoid Data Entry, but Make it Easy" (and putting an API around the data). It's almost ready for broader use. I use DidSum to track running, blogging, eat

I suppose I am part of your Ph.D. 'attrition' statistic. It's less atrocious than you'd think. I enrolled in Brown's Ph.D. CS computer program immediately after undergrad. In retrospect, I was too green to do proper

Interestingly, some dev certificates/provisioning profiles I setup in the day prior to the outage do not appear to exist anymore. It seems as though they must have reverted back to some point earlier in the week.

Braintree isn't the only HTTPS API a developer will consume. Rather than bury the knowledge of HTTPS best practice in the black box of a library, why not exemplify it in language-specific examples of plain-old REST API documentation? If the

Thanks for the heads up. Made a quick fix by taking out affix on the column. Tried to get this up pretty quickly with Bootstrap, need to spend some more time on it this weekend. Sorry for the annoyance.

Good catch -- need to get that page up :) Built echo primarily to help me test wiretap so it hasn't gotten much documentation love. Will get that up this weekend.

Yep, you're right. Duly noted, thanks.

It got changed, sorry. Original title was "9 uses for cURL everyone should know". Perhaps a bit assumptive.

So you can use -I with another method, but as soon as you add a body curl refuses. Went ahead and just took that scenario out of the post -- but your redirection snippet is great.

by KrisJordan 14y ago
Ah, great catch. Added a note about having to specify the method explicitly / that -I uses HEAD implicitly. Thanks!

Thanks! Yep, the local connection will tunnel through an HTTPS connect, so it should work from behind aggressive NATs. The goal of the desktop app is cross-platform. In its current form it's a cobbled together OSX app that shells out, but m

Hey HN, op here. Wiretap is a weekend project of mine I've been hacking on for a few months. It's like your browser's Network Tab, but for server-side and mobile apps. Technically, it's a hosted reverse proxy / debugger that's really easy t

It looks like the root of the problem is that their DNS servers are unresponsive or offline. Web sites and mail whose DNS is hosted on GoDaddy appear to look "down" because they cannot resolve. Good push for anyone to switch to DNSMadeEasy

Server logic can figure it out just fine. For a familiar example check out nginx's static gzip compression support [1]. This works today. Browsers can say they support gzip compressed assets in a header. You don't have to add markup to say
