They should ban David Cameron and monarchies. I hope that ban covers TLS too. Brits don't need HTTPS websites.

What's the point of having a pop-up that tells you "this site uses cookies" when tools can tell you exactly that without the webdeveloper's having to make a single modification to the website?

That's super easy to get around. It only replaces the first occurrence of each.

Yup.

I think he makes a valid point about how it's not necessary to have both develop and master if you use tags. On the other hand, I think the `--no-ff` merges is what git-flow got right. The separation of features into their own branches is useful. It's basically about grouping related commits together. You can always render the history in a way that looks prettier and even if you can't--the history doesn't need to look pretty, the final product does.

I used to ride without a helmet too. I though I'd as soon get directly killed than get a brain injury. But then you do get a brain injury and not get killed and your life turns into hell, especially if your brain is the one thing you've always depended on the most. I recommend paying a visit to http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum92.html to catch a glimpse how splendidly well (where's my sarcasm sign?) people with brain injuries have been doing. I didn't get mine from a bike accident (collapsed scaffolding), but it's been a constant source of joy for the whole last year and I still have some minor issues to deal with (and that was a mild one as far as brain injuries go). I always wear a helmet on larger bike trips now. Anything that mitigates or reduces the chances of a brain injury is very much worth it. If you want to take reckless risks, at least don't write idiotic blog posts about it.

Well, you should always be able to tell if you limit yourself to HTTPS sites. If they offered their own devices and had hacked them to make middle-manned HTTPS sites appear safe, that would be crossing the line for me.

If the user knew what they were doing they wouldn't have typed that. `cat a b > a` is the same as `cat b > a`. There's no reason to add the a before b except to confuse.

The original example was `rm -rf "$STREAMROOT/"*`, though (the asterisk being out of the double quotes.) Now that glob will expand.

What if I wanted to take a peek at this article without giving up my email address? If only there was an easy way to stop JavaScript from blocking my page view with that subscribe request …

The win-win-or-no-deal is strong with this one.

Maybe among IT people they were but, IT isn't everything. If you had shown 1kX to a physicist, he would've automatically assumed that you were talking about 10^3 times X no matter what X was. I actually live (and grew up) in an SI country and the system works beautifully. Sure, people say kilo to refer to 1kg, but this practice gets a huge amount of criticism from teachers over here, who keep insisting that kilo=1000.

Unit prefixes should be unambiguous: 1 GB = 1000 MB; 1 GiB = 2^10 MiB. People who say 1 GB = 1024 MB are wrong. Let's not perpetuate this slip in judgment (while acknowledging that many programs still do use this misbegotten system)

I think English dictionaries should redefine "don't recall" as an idiom meaning "find it convenient to pretend not to remember" :)

Made me think pretty much every government on Earth has fucked up in some ways, maybe things will be better on Mars when we colonize it. Then I remembered Mars vehicles have this feature installed already as well ...

I went to a Czech computers science college for a year (on Saturdays only), and people here usually use the English terms. Oftentimes there's both a Czech term and an English one and people will just use the English one because everyone saw it like that in the documentation. Sometimes they would pronounce things in a very funny way--like one of my professors would always say `eunich` instead of `unique`, or `byten` instead of `python`. It took some additional mental energy on my part to process that. (I'm actually Czech, but I'm used to native English much more than I am to Czech English).

A pretty cool improvement. And you can easily add remote directory autocompletion if you simply steal the autocompletion function of `scp`: complete|sed -n 's/ scp$/ sshcd/p'
