matthuggins··on Evil.js: A JavaScript library for thwarting hot-linkers
To an extent, yes. I already looked at the source. But it just says to include evil.js on my site. How is that protecting my site from bandwidth thieves? Won't it also screw up my own site's functions?
matthuggins··on Evil.js: A JavaScript library for thwarting hot-linkers
The documentation is lacking.
matthuggins··on CSS Diner
Cool, but it's definitely got some issues. For example, this failed:

  orange:last-of-type, apple:last-of-type
while this worked:

  apple:last-of-type, orange:last-of-type
matthuggins··on Facebook introduces 15-second video ads that auto-play without sound
Yeah, I called it as soon as they started auto-playing friends' videos in our news feeds. They were clearly just getting us accustomed to the idea of stopping scrolling so they know we'll see these ads.
matthuggins··on Italy cancels "Google tax" on web companies
Try reading the article.

> The tax, designed to ensure firms that advertise and sell in Italy do so only through companies with a tax presence there...

matthuggins··on Flask API – Browsable Web APIs for Flask
Went to the site hoping to learn what Flask is, but they don't even link to it anywhere. Doing a Google search for "flask" just returns a bunch of drinking flasks, and flask.com is for buying flasks as well.

So great, what is Flask? What is this about?

matthuggins··on Netflix Agrees to Pay Comcast to End Web Traffic Jam
This worked for me, thanks!
matthuggins··on Gmail adding prominent 'Unsubscribe' option to marketing emails
Just because you can unsubscribe from something doesn't mean it's spam. Your statement just means that you don't know what "spam" actually means.
matthuggins··on EA certainly isn't making it easy to give Dungeon Keeper a low rating on Android
I was more interested in the feedback aspect of it. I'm not saying it's good to deceive users though, so I should probably rephrase what I wrote.
matthuggins··on Tesla Motors named in fatal bike crash suit because of new car smell
> It also contends that the Tesla in the crash was "defective and unreasonably dangerous when used in a normal, intended and foreseeable manner," according to the lawsuit.

Yes, because a driver falling asleep behind the wheel is how a car is normally intended to be used.

matthuggins··on EA certainly isn't making it easy to give Dungeon Keeper a low rating on Android
I know it's "cool" to hate on EA, but assuming this isn't against any Google Play terms of service, I actually think it's a great idea for any developer.

With that said, it's obviously not in the end user's best interest in terms of seeing a true rating prior to download an app. It merely helps the developer to achieve higher ratings, more users as a result, and if they actually care about the feedback, then improving their product as well.

matthuggins··on Show HN: Lifebox – No more nagging friends for the photos you took together.
Ahh, so if I'm the only one taking pictures that night, then the app won't know to include my friends?
matthuggins··on Facebook's Lookback
I don't think it makes a difference. I've been on Facebook since 2004 and have about 950 photos and videos.
matthuggins··on Facebook's Lookback
Am I missing something? It's just 6 photos that I've uploaded, 4 of which are from the past month. It looks like people here are talking about music, but the page is not playing music in Chrome.
matthuggins··on Introducing Paper
Curious to see what this is since the video left me fucking clueless!
matthuggins··on Quentin Tarantino is suing Gawker for posting a link to the script of his film
It looks like both anonfiles.com and scribd.com have taken the script down. Good on them at least.
matthuggins··on Show HN: Website 181 Took Way Longer Than a Day – YumHacker
Website 181 of what?
matthuggins··on San Francisco's guerrilla protest at Google buses swells into revolt
I don't understand what this comment has to do with the article.
matthuggins··on Stripe CTF3: Distributed Systems is live
I'm gonna go with: "not doing it". (Alternative answer: "wait till next year".)
matthuggins··on Best reply to a Pull Request ever?
Either that, or they don't understand what a revolution really, truly means for those involved.
matthuggins··on Show HN: Ridiculously cheap bulk geocoding
Where the pricing says $.001/ea for 2501+ geocodes, are the first 2500/day prior to that still free? Or am I paying $2.50 for the day as soon as I make that 1 extra request above the free limit?
matthuggins··on US physically hacks 100,000 foreign computers
Oh, well if they said it, then it must be true.
matthuggins··on Poll: As a founder, what is your salary?
I think this poll would have made more sense as a set of ranges instead. If I'm making $10k a year, would I answer $0 or ~$25,000/yr? The poll should have looked more like:

-> $0/yr

-> $1 - $25,000/yr

-> $25,001 - $50,000/yr

-> etc.

matthuggins··on Is Ruby Fast Yet?
Wouldn't it make more sense to test various features of Ruby for comparison rather than comparing an entire web framework? Given that, the URL should be israilsfastyet.com, or more appropriately howdoesrailsbehaveonvariousrubyversions.com
matthuggins··on Yogaglo Patent Issued
> the camera used to record online yoga classes must "provide a participatory view [which means ‘a view observed by a participant in the rear of the class,’ according to YogaGlo] from a height of about three feet."

Well there ya go, just make a video from the second row instead of the back row!

matthuggins··on RubyMine 6.0 Released
Been using RubyMine for a few years now and am convinced it's the best editor for Ruby development (at least for me). It just offers too many features (e.g.: built-in debugging, method click-through) that users of vim, emacs, etc. are missing out on.
matthuggins··on AutoJS – JS library for textarea lookahead
Not sure if it's working properly on mobile. I pressed the letter 'A' on my keyboard and no other keys, and the textarea showed "And " with a space after it. Is that right? It didn't feel right.
matthuggins··on Someone just made a $147,239,214 Bitcoin transfer
$147m is nothing! Imagine what the value of this Nerf dart sitting on my desk could be next year!
matthuggins··on Hack of Cupid Media dating website exposes 42 million plaintext passwords
Pretty sure it's not ironic since dating safety != system security.
matthuggins··on Apple maps: how Google lost when everyone thought it had won
Ahh, thanks. Not as intuitive as just pinching/dragging, that's for sure!
