This submission is _advertising_ a paid app to... skip ads. Question for OP: how would you feel about a browser extension that automatically recognises submissions of this nature and hides them?

This is the sort of input that you'd selectively pick in a unit test, too. What you don't do is also picking inputs like "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" too (all lowercase) :)

What about a static website served through nginx, for example?

It seems that some languages provide a pretty good abstraction, memory-wise ;)

I found that this makes rebasing a feature branch really difficult. The alternative is not much better.

Was going to try it out today, but alas "You can’t use this version of the application “Intercept” with this version of OS X." I should update already ;)

We use Charles extensively at work, it's a great tool. The only thing that really annoys me is that, this being a Java app, the interface works slightly different than the standard OS X interface I'm using to. I regularly use cmd

What happens if a function is renamed?

Processes can communicate. I reckon you could have a process that's responsible for managing the cache instead of managing a separate cache from each process. I'm no Erlang programmer, though.

I'm sure you know this, but it's not missing that feature. It's just that the syntax is different.

Instead of the fencing token, could the scenario in the blog post be prevented using a good hashing function? When you perform a write, instead of the token, send a hash of the object previously read. The storage can then compare this again

Taking money gives you all sorts of unpleasant responsibilities to deal with. That's not something everyone wants, especially not if you've got a day job you're not planning on leaving.

Why? A currency symbol does not come with a decimal/thousands separator convention .

I don't think this comes up that often. It's easier to speak in terms of days and halves of days. Often this is accurate enough.

When I lock my front door and leave a spare key under the doormat, my insurance company is not obliged by law to pay for any damages if the spare key is used by thieves to enter my house. I could have easily prevented the situation. Content

Those aren't very fair to the dynamic languages and JIT compiled languages (this includes Scala). * For the dynamic languages execution time includes the time it takes to lex, parse and interpret the source code. * For language impleme

For me, this only happens when I scroll up. That seems sensible to me.

My personal favorite: a safe, constant time equality method for cryptographic stuff.

Sure, but it's not very convenient. I regularly MITM a connection between a mobile app and a HTTP server, when something isn't going quite right. A look at the JSON they exchange exposes the problem in under a minute more often th

True. Fortunately, we can be reasonably sure there will be multiple good tools to debug something talking over HTTP 2.0. With something like Transit, I'm not so sure.

I don't think I would enjoy debugging a service that talks in a binary format.

Is duplicating a project on the road map? We've been looking for a tool with a good interface to use as a collaborative check list. Every checklist shares the bulk of its tasks + it has a few unique tasks per project. Duplicating the t

An end of file delimiter would do just as well and has a major benefit: existing JSON parsers can be used without considering the whole file as a giant JSON object. Most JSON parsers simply parse the JSON string and represent it as an obj

So the real solution is better tracking? I don't think this solves OPs problem.

I do something similar to this. My right prompt shows a small fork symbol when I'm in a sub-shell (based on $SHLVL). However, this does not help me much when I'm several levels deep, which is why eventually I started hooking in on

I like the approach of using gs (simple gemsets) [1] and dep (simple dependencies) [2]. I've been using this approach of handling dependencies for a while now. I've written a simple shell script as a replacement for gs (since I co
