Well, I think there was GC but no cyclic GC in pre-5.3.

shakesbeardon Amazon CloudFront - Support For Dynamic Content

Aren't ISPs already doing that? (the caching part)

the greatest thing about this app is the shuffle mode.

shakesbeardon Weigh more, pay more: Argument for charging obese people higher flying fares

If weight is a driver for costs, do we get a rebate or fee when only half of a flight's seats are taken?

shakesbeardon Show HN: Check for web application security issues.

Yes. Just wait some minutes. I guess the server is under heavy load.

Got some false positives though. For example "PHP Admin Application" and "PHP Debug Application" for files <root>/admin.php and <root>/debug.php which both do not exist actually.

Same in Switzerland.

shakesbeardon VW deactivates employee email outside working hours

Germany, Switzerland, Austria, etc. have protection against dismissal.

- Germany: 1 month in first 2 years, 2 months for years 5 to 8, ..., 7 months from year 20 on.

- Switzerland: 1 month first year, 2 months for years 2 - 9, 3 months from year 10.

And (at least in Switzerland) a dismissal notice is void if you're on vacation and were not able to receive the registered letter.

shakesbeardon Looking for a Place to Die

I'm proud that my country does not prohibit assisted suicide. If a person is lucid and has the will to die it's their own decision. It's not like you go to one of these organizations and 2 hours later you're dead.

"Switzerland's laws that prohibit killing continue to apply in full. Direct, active euthanasia (deliberate killing in order to end the suffering of another person) is therefore also forbidden. By contrast, both indirect, active euthanasia (the use of means having side-effects that may shorten life) and passive euthanasia (rejecting or discontinuing life-prolonging measures) – while not governed by any specific statutory provisions – are not treated as criminal offences provided certain conditions are fulfilled."

shakesbeardon Fuck passwords

I use KeePass myself and because of its awesome auto-type/global hotkey I rarely need to go open it and look up credentials myself. Just add the windows' title to the auto-type list of the corresponding entry and you're off the hook.
