I listened to a very good 'In Our Time' podcast episode about Paul Dirac recently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000fw0p

Dang that's some list of options :D http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/src/paral...

Heya, I really like it :) Like the top comment currently though I have a hard time with the font. Everything else seems great!

Title of the post is not right, the author issued a (technically important) correction[1]: > Brief correction: Cookies seem to get removed and re-created immediately. At least the …

I've used YAML for years, and yeah, there's a lot of warts, but I love it for small(ish) manually edited configuration files. I generally keep it simple and it works.

The GDPR explicitly does not set out to specify implementation details because of the reasons here: https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-15/ (Technology neutrality)

The latter. I don't have specific examples in mind, just that if you do not trust a company's data collection policies, the collection capabilities of an installed program are much…

Hi John, just an FYI: if you have Facebook Messenger installed on your phone, you are probably giving Facebook a lot more data than you think.

Somewhat tangential to this particular issue, but this is a good lesson for developers in why you should be dry and explicit in your writing. Sure `alert("FFFUUU WHY U NO WORK");` …

Sure, https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy.html#BACKWARD-COMPATIBIL... that’s the policy for the language itself, but as it mentions there it’s considered generally a “community” vi…

What this article arrives at is basically the perl/CPAN model. Don’t break backwards compatibility unless you absolutely have to; as in cases of security or when the original funct…

Thanks for writing Ack petdance! Nowadays I typically use 'git grep' but I still use ack a good amount.

It'd be scanned years later if the USB drive I've backed it up on for regular infrequent use goes kaput on me ;) The replacing every year or so sounds like the most robust way to d…

https://github.com/4bitfocus/asc-key-to-qr-code looks like it is trying to do that, though the issues on the repo suggest it might not work 100%, which is kind of a deal-breaker.

I was just (re-thinking) about this at work.. Just bought a Yubikey and was basically going to start from scratch with my PGP setup. I really don't like the idea of storing anythin…

The lack of a property manager also struck me as crazy and I've never been a landlord. Plenty of rentals have gotten trashed and city fines accrued long before airbnb existed. Does…

I blogged about a fun one a while ago[1], pornhub using WebSockets to dodge adblockers. [1]: http://blog.bugreplay.com/2016/11/pornhub-bypasses-ad-blocke...

Screen binding to ctrl-a and tmux users binding to ctrl-a so it feels more like screen is a bad idea imho. Ctrl-a (move to start of line) is one of the most convenient key combos o…

I'm excited for the whitespace stripping heredoc operator, it's always a bummer having to put all heredocs all the way left.

This is the only place I've found them parsed and documented: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Like any feature, there's a lot of weird edge casey parts of SRI that can be abused. We blogged about Adblock detectors over here[1] a couple of months ago for BugReplay[2]. A majo…
