ndrake··on Dell announces security breach
From https://www.dell.com/customerupdate

What is a “hashed password”? Hashing is a cryptographic security mechanism, similar to encryption, that scrambles customers’ passwords into an unreadable format. Dell ‘hashes’ all Dell.com customer account passwords prior to storing them in our database using a hashing algorithm that has been tested and validated by an expert third-party firm. This security measure limits the risk of customers’ passwords being revealed if a hashed version of their password were to ever be taken.

ndrake··on Show HN: Otto Jukebox – A multi-user streaming anti-cloud music player
There are Linux installation instructions at Github: https://github.com/ferguson/otto

With this warning:

Otto is not yet packaged together as a singular application or installation package for Linux like it is on OSX. Therefore Linux installation is fraught with peril, especially when it comes to getting a correctly compiled version of MPD installed.

ndrake··on Emacs 24.4 RC 1
If you ran the install with --devel you should get 24.4-rc1

ndrake··on New Minecraft Mod Teaches You Code as You Play
Thanks for the info. I'll admit that I probably wouldn't subscribe to such a service. If it was a fixed price for the software I would definitely buy it for my kids.
ndrake··on New Minecraft Mod Teaches You Code as You Play
Will people be able to run their own learntomod servers? What happens after the beta? Would I have to pay more to continue using the software?
ndrake··on New Minecraft Mod Teaches You Code as You Play
I'm confused. What does the $30 pre-order get you? Is it a subscription service? Their FAQ [1] mentions a subscription for a private server after the beta.

Can anyone comment on how saving works on the iOS version? If I get a call or switch apps, does it reliably save or am I liable to lose my progress?
ndrake··on Entitlement issues (2009)
+1 for the First Law books.

The Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey are great.

Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake

The first 6 books in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan are very enjoyable.

EDIT:

The Bas-Lag books by China Miéville are wonderful.

ndrake··on Changes to Android and iOS Apps
Yep. You can't easily browse what's available or see the current sales in the new app. Very disappointed. The mobile website is also weak compared to browsing in the old native app.
ndrake··on Changes to Android and iOS Apps
No more in-app purchases on iOS. You must by via the website, then download in app. No more Google Play payments on Android.
