theDustRoom··on AngularJS 1.4
Yes; it's available here: https://code.angularjs.org/1.4.0/

I guess they're just finishing off the blog post/announcement before updating the main site.

theDustRoom··on Everyone has JavaScript, right?
Why has this been voted up so much? It's dog shit.

I really don't understand why anyone would want to use this.

I think that police firearms should also have cameras attached so that evidence is recorded.
theDustRoom··on Notes on the Celebrity Data Theft
My iOS accounts are, unfortunately limited to a password that I can remember but I use one with numbers and letters and a mixture of uppercase and lowercase characters.

Most of my website passwords are generated keys; each different - all stored within 1password, should there be an issue at any point (doubtful) I can always go through the "forgot password" features on any given website to reset it to something temporarily that I can use easily.

theDustRoom··on Notes on the Celebrity Data Theft
It's mainly for my laptop to be honest but as it's just a tap away why not secure my 1password vault more securely at the same time?

I also run software on my MacBook Pro so that when I pull the Yubikey it automatically engages the screensaver which in turn requires the password to disable.

theDustRoom··on Notes on the Celebrity Data Theft
I use a Yubikey with a generated key.

This is only half of my password; the first part is a password I can remember easily with numbers and letters, the second is the generated key.

This means that even I don't really know my password and if someone found my Yubikey then it's useless to them without the other half that only I know.

(I do have a printout in a safe place of the key and also a backup Yubikey)

I use this password for my computer as well as my 1password vault which is generally filled with randomly generated keys for each website.

Might sound a bit overkill but if you can; why not?

Seems stupid to me; why are they wasting PCBs - can you recover any data from anywhere other than the platters?

Surely one very powerful magnet would render it useless anyway?
