Personally I think this is censorship because Github holds power in the development world. Basically every developer is on Github. I switched from Bitbucket to github not because G…

Looks reasonable as a support when your child is being taught how to swim (and is thus closely monitored). Looks absolutely horrible as a means of preventing your kid from drowning…

Yes, that would be a waste of time. But in the past I've gotten in the habit of commenting things in the database for larger projects, and have written a bunch of tools to extract …

Only if the send you your old password. If they reset your password, they can send you the plaintext first, then hash the password and store it in the database.

For me it's not so much that handing over cash is mentally more painful. It's just that cash is inconvenient to obtain, so if I don't have enough of it on me, I won't buy that drin…

I think we don't even realise the impact we can have on people, deliberate or otherwise. Years ago, when I finished highschool, this guy came up to me and said "thanks for acting n…

I've always felt that people didn't really regard Escher as an artist because his works are too straight forward. He manages to take his thoughts on infinity, beginning and end, di…

This has nothing to do with stopping terrorists. I'm pretty sure Cameron is not a stupid person and has consulted with experts on the matter, and there's no way anybody with any ki…

I did this too in the past, but I've since found the convenience of 'git gui' too hard to ignore. The fact that it seamlessly runs on remote servers over X forwarding without havin…

I can't imagine my workflow being all that special, but I never have to deal with this? I just write new features, refactor if needed, fix unrelated bugs, etc. When I feel like it'…
