There's some recent good news about this in a GitHub issue: https://github.com/openbenches/openbenches.org/issues/232

> it'd be great if GDS would stop with the ridiculous forced password recipes across gov.uk sites. GDS isn't enforcing weird password policies across government. This is the advice…

Rules for cyclists in the UK: At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit. It MUST also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if ma…

I couldn't disagree more with the author about appended URLs being a problem. A print stylesheet is exactly when you want URLs to be displayed in the text of the page, because ther…

Content-Security-Policy is doing something vaguely similar with tags, where you add a nonce in the HTTP header and then only tags with those nonces are executed. script-src at http…

The new Fastmail webmail interface is actually massively on-par with Gmail. It's very slick and I'd encourage everyone to give it a(nother) go.

Right, but they also store the decryption key -- your Inky password. Which is (presumably?) encrypted… somehow? Maybe?

The cost of the product seems ok ($20 on Kickstarter, probably a little more later), but the lack of information on film pricing is a bit concerning. Especially after you include s…

Ah, dead on! Those user figures are from August this year but the revenue is listed as 2011. Thanks.

I must be missing something here with regards to revenue. Spotify has 15 million users, 4 million of whom are paid subscribers. So 11 million free users. They have two paid plans: …

This is exactly what I'm seeing. I just spent half an hour on the phone with my friend going over public posts from 2007 saying "WOAH, did we _really_ say that in public?". Every o…

As far as I can tell, this offers no way to use Google Authenticator. Only the Facebook for Android app.

While nice, it would be trivial to send you to prison for doing that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Misuse_Act_1990#The_C...

> For example, is there any harm in changing where that contact us form points to? The point could more be made: "Why not keep that URL the same?" It's trivial to do technically, a…

Theoretically, sure. But I can't think of a nice way to authorise users on something like [1]. They'd then need a computer with the radio to provide some kind of access code, I gue…

Desktop release notes are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuD...

They've got that covered: > The column on the right provides a short explanation of the terms of use and is not legally binding.

Yep, I thought exactly the same thing. Didn't notice the strikethrough (it's almost invisible on iPad) before reading the other comments here.

I tested using the login form on huffduffer.com, which does exactly that.

Tested Firefox and Chrome, they both clear the password field but leave the username. I'd be interested to hear if there is a browser that leaves the password field intact.

The GitHub app never felt amazing before. I don't know if anyone else had the same experience I did, but it was forever doing weird things when redrawing the window. All gone. I'm …

And I guess this is why established brands are so uptight about other companies or services using their names. I had no idea this was a 3rd party until seeing this article.

And to expand a little on what mbreese said, the basic, fundamental idea behind the URL is for a client to indicate to a server what resource it's trying to access. So it's totally…
