Python You don't have to worry about memory management, pointers and the like, and can just focus on the algorithms. All that stuff it super important to also know, but probably ea…

Just one question: Can it automatically hide any links to techcrunch? That's the killer feature that's missing from all of these things.

Ha ha

Surely that's the null hypothesis? It's up to proponents of organic food to prove a benefit.

Exactly what I was thinking

I have a gpg encrypted file on a server that I manage manually - made slightly easier by the gpg plugin for vim. Not found a password manager with a UI that I get on with yet.

theoldreader.com looks like a good alternative

re point 2. I don't see a problem with using a regex to validate email, unless you get false negatives. Rejecting anything that could be a valid e-mail address is bad and will caus…

The problem I find with something like gnome, is that it pulls in a huge amount of dependencies, and it isn't always easy to cleanly remove it.

My wife has a horrible time with HSBC, and I always get a bit aggitated when I see people recommend them, so I'm glad to see other people sharing their horror stories about them. H…

Is it just me, or doesn't this sound very similar to SQL injection, only as applied to an ORM instead? That is, if my understanding is correct, they're taking user posted data and …

"The full set are true monospace fonts, each character being exactly 0.5em wide" Umm... a 0.5em width m?

That's a good analogy, because until recently, I was writing all my PNG files by hand.

Also, it says that directly on the site itself.

Great. Can it be adapted to hide any stories from TechCrunch instead?

Can't wait to try this out on my touch-screen phone or tablet PC... ...oh, wait.

This is excellent advice.

I can't log in with either my 'free' or 'open' accounts. The client outputs something like this: 12:53:03.051 I [ap:1387] Connecting to AP B2.spotify.com:4070 12:53:03.054 I [ap:93…

What struck me about the memo, is the constant references to 'the problem', without ever defining what the actual problem was. People not working long hours might be a symptom of a…
