"Free for open source" means that they are offering their product for free (eg, without cost) to projects that are open source. They are not publishing their own source . If you're running a small, open source project, this

This also detects the file encoding & delimiters.

Chartio actually will accept TSV files because it will detect most of these settings. It'll detect the delimiter, the presence of a header line, file encoding, and newline character(s). I agree TSV is a lot nicer, and has the bonus t

Once your CSV (or TSV) files start having quoted fields, they become very tricky to parse using standard multi-purpose tools like sort, awk, & uniq. It's hard enough when you have delimiters in quoted fields, but dealing with quo

Doesn't the library just have to perform a simple search-and-replace on the entire page's HTML for the blacklisted characters to remove them? Normally blacklisting is bad, but we're only targeting the few text-direction-changing characters

It seems like a reasonable assumption for a user to know the two-letter abbreviation of the state they live in. If you suggest otherwise, how do we know that they can spell their street correctly?

I noticed that Google+ allowed something similar when sending bug reports. Do they use a similar method?

The title is a bit misleading at first glance: each company is setting records against previous quarters of the company itself , not compared to every other company in the US. Honestly, this doesn't seem like big news: each company is unde

On paper, universities disallow helping others cheat. In reality, it doesn't seem to be enforced. If the helper student has already passed the class, the professor can't take disciplinary action against them without making a major case abo

His current implementation runs out of memory on a board less than half that size. Good luck ;-P

This implementation claims to take SUM(argv) ticks, whereas the original sleepsort took MAX(argv) seconds. Is this an error, or is something done fundamentally different?

There's no active consensus, but a defacto standard emerges. If I want to talk about Google+, I'm more likely to use a hashtag, such as #googleplus, I've seen before. I could be a rebel and use #gplus, but it makes more sense to use already

They already have this, but it's a bit hidden. They're replacing the @ with +, which really ties the whole service together quite nicely (while integrating +1's as well). Your example would use +ProductFoo, for example. If you are writing a

It's still nesting callbacks, just not inline. Also, for the second example, this might be a cleaner solution: var fs = require('fs'); function writeFile(filename){ return function(err){ if (err) throw err;

Very nice! It'd be cool if you could select a bunch of "Me too" options when you first sign up without it reloading the right sidebar. On Chrome at least, it slows down, gets choppy, and makes it hard to click on other options & scroll

Your code has a bug on line 2. @file_get_contents(' http://.long2ip(ip2long($argv[1])+$c ) Since $c is the IP address itself, adding the starting IP again will check a completely different IP. Besides that, you have a point. I feel like the

Although I understand your perspective, and I agree that they have to do something to "make things right," I'm still inclined to accept the rollback. As much as I hate to use analogies, its the best way I can think to explain my reasoning

Although I can completely understand why this guy (the sumbitter?) disagrees with MtGox's solution, I thought it seemed perfectly reasonable. Even though MtGox never stated they'd interfere, being hacked is unexpected enough to allow some

There's no reason to publicly describe the attack. Even if you weren't planning on being evil, it would be incredibly easy to abuse.

Its tough separating the wheat from the chaff. Presumably, Silk Road merchants aren't the first to ship drugs: it's pretty tough to detect without slowing everything down.

Not being too familiar with the Tor network, how hard will it be for the government to shut this site down? I mean, it will have to be problematic if they can't even get an IP, right? And they obviously can't get Bitcoins directly...

To download it, you (basically) are also sharing the file. It's as illegal as mirroring wikileaks.

At the same time, this is an incredibly direct source. It's not a long-winded blog post that editorializes. Hopefully someone here can enlighten us, though.
