abjorn··on Anyone Who Still Thinks IPv6 Won't Happen Isn't Watching the Measurements
Where are these numbers coming from? This seems completely divergent from the statistics here:

abjorn··on Chromecast now open to developers with the Google Cast SDK
IT'S HAPPENING
abjorn··on Digital Ocean Secretly Wants You to Switch to Larger Droplets?
Since when is it a secret that companies want you to choose more expensive and/or profitable products?
abjorn··on World’s First Carbon Fiber 3D Printer Announced
You had me at carbon fiber.
abjorn··on King.com, makers of Candy Crush Saga – Trademark Trolls with a Double Standard?
It's not like Candy Crush was original in the first place.
abjorn··on Ask HN: Should I remind users that their card is about to be charged?
Part of me believes that's awful, and part of me is just impressed at how smart that is.
abjorn··on Lenovo Agrees to Buy IBM Server Business for $2.3 Billion
Not hardly, especially not with AMD powering the current line up of gaming consoles.
abjorn··on A "Not on Facebook" font icon for your website
My remark did come off as a bit ruder than I had intended, hah. And to be fair, TV is still almost exclusively low-brow, mind-numbing junk. :) I don't actually disagree with you.
abjorn··on A "Not on Facebook" font icon for your website
You must be exciting at parties.
abjorn··on A "Not on Facebook" font icon for your website
Or - and hear me out here - you could just not put the Facebook logo on your site. Revolutionary idea, I know.
abjorn··on ICANN's new rules for domain registrants require you to verify an email address
The one from your domain registrar, I would imagine.
abjorn··on PHP is as secure as any other major language
That's a bit of a broad statement, maybe - I'd be interested to see a general purpose language that will not allow you to write insecure software, I have a hard time believing that exists.

But you're coming from the right place - it's absolutely the job of the programming language to at least make it more difficult to do so and encouraging good security practices, and PHP does not do a very good job of that. Then again, I write JavaScript for a living so I suppose I don't have much room to criticize on that front.

abjorn··on PHP is as secure as any other major language
I believe that was more or less the point he was making - regardless of the language or platform developers without proper understand can and will make security mistakes.
abjorn··on The FBI Warns Retailers About Thieves Armed With Foil
I'm not sure what it is about this article or business week that attracts so many...interesting comment authors.
abjorn··on How Netflix Reverse Engineered Hollywood
My favorite so far is "Viral Plague Gay & Lesbian Movies". For a random generator it sure seems to have an agenda.
abjorn··on Twitter Article
Exactly this. A favorite local morning DJ of mine likes to call this the "gotcha society." The whole Duck Dynasty thing being the news of the week I think is proof enough of that - no one would even know who the guy was if it wasn't for some silly reality TV show, why should we care what he thinks?
abjorn··on Go 1.3+ Compiler Overhaul
Now if only they'd do something about that garbage collector.
abjorn··on Why does it seem like threading and fibers in Node have been abandoned?
I don't necessarily want threading in Node.js, but it would be nice to have coroutines/green threads...something simple that scales across CPUs, at least. Unfortunately with JavaScript I think the best you're going to get is Node's cluster module, because of the threading limitations with V8 and other JavaScript engines. Realistically, it's a trade off - Node.js is easy and quick to work with, but the only way to take full advantage of the machine's processing power is through forking processes.
abjorn··on Jolla
All I learned from the video is that this is a phone for people with very messy desks.
abjorn··on DigitalOcean Sucks. Use DigitalOcean
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the terrible typography.
