Is there a plugin to remove or modify specific request headers? The bits of unique information could easily be removed, couldn't it?

A good start, have you considered using geojson? Github has a native viewer for that.

My team works like this with a twist. You merge your own pull request. You have developers, designers, pm's, etc to help review the change. You use them if you need them and you take responsibility for your bugs. We'll drop everyt

Please explain this, I'm not sure what kind of activity you're talking about.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at but it's weird to me too. You never know what lead to that decision (target markets, promotional video production issues, or maybe they just wanted to play off the "girl at home on the phone with fr

Mike Bostock is the author of at least three javascript visualization libraries that are in heavy use today. It's safe to say he's got a firm understanding of javascript. While including a var in side a loop doesn't sope the variables to th

One of my favorite talks about how an interpreter can work. It's worth watching even if you are not concerned with javascript.

The author glosses over the fact that encoding of special characters in the hash is broken in firefox. As an application there's no way to know if you're getting the data you want or url encoded data. Base64 encoding (with replacing chars l

I believe even NodeJS's libuv came to the same unfortunate conclusion for non windows hosts. https://github.com/joyent/libuv http://nikhilm.github.com/uvbook/filesystem.html

Lets not get rude, I've met some of them. They're bright folks using all sorts of technologies. I've seen vim and emacs (though mostly emacs). Their website does have some rough corners but they're working on a 10+ year old codebase and you

The painstaking lengths people go though in honor of Tolkien is amazing. Along those lines I think http://3rin.gs/ deserves a mention, especially as maps are a "visualization" of sorts. I met the author this summer. The attention to detai

Know any port knocking as a service companies? If there was a reliable way to get a udp connection between hosts that I didn't have to write myself, I'd be tempted to take this on.

I disagree. Putting aside saved passwords which I admit is a big aside. The browser's usual attack vector is login or session cookies. It will grant users access to the account but it doesn't usually leak any information in itself. However

One of the bigger hurdles I had to deal with at my work at a :BigComapny was getting mongo installed. But even on our older systems I had no trouble with their provided packages. Which you wouldn't think would be notable, but it is. Actuall

This is awesome! I think I know where I can offload my assembled older projects when I'm done with them. =) One note: When singing up you should redirect away from the registration page.

Humans are the resilience in any system. No system is ever perfect, and no system will ever be. I think we'll be fine.

And hopefully they're pushing important stuff upstream, it wouldn't make sense to not leverage the community.

Just make little things. Backbone is fun, make some little backbone views/models, they'll work perfectly with any other JS you have. Want to try rails? Do another little project in rails. Is it too much? try the next one but only use sinatr

There's a great quote about not refining your tastes as it narrows your world but instead continuing to explore the availability of the world around you. It was either Feynman or Ryan Dahl. =p That being said, I love me my loose tea leav

My problem with them is they don't provide RFOs (Request for outage) because they can't give away any of the "propitiatory secretes" about their setup. I'd like to know what happened when it effects me. Also when it comes to replacing hardw

A friend of mine teaches gardening to children and they tried it. After 4 months the bag was a bit thinner and worn but not drastically different. They figured that in a large communal compost it might only take 14 weeks to biodegrade as co

I've had trouble wrapping my head around how to use one stream to filter data. I'd like to be able to write to a stream and read from it to get the filtered data but the api only seems to lend itself to using two streams (think stdin and st
