I actually regret not switching to Spark sooner, since it has support for more email providers than Mailbox ever had. I do wish it would take some cues from Inbox and add the Action support, though.

This involves radically ignoring the human factor in time. Things are still mostly local in daily life, except in the small bubble these men live in. Next year I'm sure they'll be arguing for decimal time.

That would require there to actually be MAL devs. Last I heard, they're down to one guy and he's AWOL.

I've not used AniDB much, but I once half-finished an API wrapper for Node.js so I guess I'm about as qualified as we're gonna get. In my experience, AniDB is effectively unmaintained code. They have developers, the develope

I think the fact that normal TV/Movie sites lack information on Anime led to the schism more than anything. The same things the Anime community has developed could be equally applicable to normal TV, especially in the age of DVRs and

Hummingbird already offers an API through Mashape, which is infinitely more thorough than any competitor's. Additionally, MAL has lots of minor bugs, and how can you trust a site that hasn't been maintained in 5 years to store you

I'm making light of the fact that we repeated the same thing that happened in history. When people started getting attacked, they formed larger groups to defend themselves. and now we're doing that on the internet with things li

Can't something like Airbnb already fill this role? I don't know much about couchsurfing in all honesty.

I'm slightly afraid to learn C++ after being told so many horror stories. But for the low low price of free? Count me in.

Everybody is always under attack. The internet is falling to pieces because of botnets, and people forming clans for protection (by which I mean CloudFlare, they're forming CloudFlare)

Redis is an ideal data store for this kind of thing, will be doubly so once we have Redis Cluster. But still, if your frontend hosts can't reach your database, you have far bigger problems than your sessions not working.

I'm suggesting that site operators need to use HTTPS. It doesn't matter if you use Rails, PHP, Node.js, whatever. USE HTTPS. NEVER USE HTTP. It's as simple as that. Never assume that anything transmitted over HTTP is safe

by PLejeck 13y ago
I hope that this will at least light a fire under the asses of Rails devs everywhere, and get them to adopt HTTPS. Nothing is safe against Firesheep without HTTPS. All of these issues would be solved with HTTPS. Also, doesn't cryptog

In fragmentation, there is not always a winner. Sometimes they just all survive.

In Web 2.0 the turnover rate wasn't too high and most "services" were toys made in the spare time as a mashup of other services. To think it was a bubble, even at the time, is nonsense. Today I see a different case: shady ac

To be fair, the tech stack can break a service (though it can't make it) - whether by slowing down iteration or crashing constantly. Putting out fires is not a positive thing.

It's rather sad that DDoS attacks seem to just be the norm at this point.

They do, and they are signed, but they still have issues like this which are so easily mitigated by just using a goddamn server.

Logical skips can do a lot.

Sure, it's the default, but don't people realize never to trust clientside data? I don't know if CookieStore is signed or not, but I generally assume even if I sign the data it's not safe. It's not that hard to jus

by PLejeck 13y ago
I sincerely hope that nobody was using the CookieStore in deployment. I think everybody should know by now that cookies are not safe or secure storage for data.

I never thought I'd hear "don't write any tests", since that seems to be a horrible sin to most people

by PLejeck 13y ago
I know there's not a right way, but I still can't even figure out the most basic of tests. The guys in #rails tell me to stub this, mock that, but then they never explain the terms or how to even stub Rails features. I get what

But it's not even clone, it's just awkward.

I wonder if it'd be possible to provide a virtual display to a small ARM board and embed it into a window, so that you'd have the virtualization effects (two OSes on one machine) without the speed loss

Does it annoy anyone else that it won't sit flat on a table? I'd find myself slamming it down to try and flatten it.

As a fellow OSX -> Arch person, I feel your pain. The experience of making Broadcom function is enough to drive a man insane.

Please never use OS X clones. But you're right that Linux stopped being ugly. Even in Tiling WMs, we're pretty beautiful now. My windows now have the same gaussian blur and shadow abilities as on Mac OS X, thanks to Compton. My

The lack of good email clients on Linux is a real shame. I'd love to have something like Sparrow or Mailbox. 1password is also a sad thing to be missing. As for the others, we have locate(1) for searching and rdiff-backup instead of
