This submission is _advertising_ a paid app to... skip ads. Question for OP: how would you feel about a browser extension that automatically recognises submissions of this nature a…

This is the sort of input that you'd selectively pick in a unit test, too. What you don't do is also picking inputs like "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch…

What about a static website served through nginx, for example?

It seems that some languages provide a pretty good abstraction, memory-wise ;)

I found that this makes rebasing a feature branch really difficult. The alternative is not much better.

Have you had a continental breakfast?

Was going to try it out today, but alas "You can’t use this version of the application “Intercept” with this version of OS X." I should update already ;)

We use Charles extensively at work, it's a great tool. The only thing that really annoys me is that, this being a Java app, the interface works slightly different than the standard…

What happens if a function is renamed?

Processes can communicate. I reckon you could have a process that's responsible for managing the cache instead of managing a separate cache from each process. I'm no Erlang program…

I'm sure you know this, but it's not missing that feature. It's just that the syntax is different.

Instead of the fencing token, could the scenario in the blog post be prevented using a good hashing function? When you perform a write, instead of the token, send a hash of the obj…

A droplet is just a VPS.

Taking money gives you all sorts of unpleasant responsibilities to deal with. That's not something everyone wants, especially not if you've got a day job you're not planning on lea…

Why? A currency symbol does not come with a decimal/thousands separator convention .

I don't think this comes up that often. It's easier to speak in terms of days and halves of days. Often this is accurate enough.

When I lock my front door and leave a spare key under the doormat, my insurance company is not obliged by law to pay for any damages if the spare key is used by thieves to enter my…

That experiment has been done before! https://github.com/philipl/pifs

Those aren't very fair to the dynamic languages and JIT compiled languages (this includes Scala). * For the dynamic languages execution time includes the time it takes to lex, pars…

For me, this only happens when I scroll up. That seems sensible to me.

My personal favorite: a safe, constant time equality method for cryptographic stuff.

Sure, but it's not very convenient. I regularly MITM a connection between a mobile app and a HTTP server, when something isn't going quite right. A look at the JSON they exchange e…

True. Fortunately, we can be reasonably sure there will be multiple good tools to debug something talking over HTTP 2.0. With something like Transit, I'm not so sure.

I don't think I would enjoy debugging a service that talks in a binary format.
