Isn't that what deploy keys are for? See: http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ssh/README.html#deploy-keys Deploy keys give read-only access to clone a repository, and they are associated dir…

The difference is that the last one also matches requests to "/", while the regex ensures that there is at least a single character after the "/". That allows "/" to be used for ot…

This being Amazon AWS gives me hope that this will be a CA with an API that allows automatic certificate issuance for domains you control. I find the process of issuing and reissui…

For people interested in redesigning how web site authentication is performed, I would encourage a look at the FIDO Alliance specifications for "Passwordless UX" and "Second Factor…

Actually, what you get when referencing x.test in Python is a bound method: >>> foo.test >>> x.test > >>> z = x.test >>> z(123) 123 I really like this behavior in Python. Unfortuna…

The only way I see to solve this without server side state is to replace the page-parameter with a list of items you have seen. The more button would then just find the top 30 item…
