FWIW npm 5 comes with npx [0] which basically does similar things. If you run npx webpack it would use the local copy of webpack or even install one run it and discard it.

My personal Gem in this release: Generic parameter defaults. [0] This makes altering a generic interface or a generic type alias in a non-breaking way much easier which is very powerfull in a large code base.

"Based on the error pattern, we cannot exclude the possibility that the routers have been targeted by external parties with the result that they can no longer register on the network." [0]

This assumes an even distribution of click fraud and wrong measurement along all advertisers and the ability to perfectly measure the ROI of your Facebook ads which is as strong (and in my opinion wrong) assumption to make...

The thing is that ad ROI is super hard to measure for branding campaigns. Coca-Cola can't tell exactly what their Facebook ROI is and a lot of the people who buy ads for those types of companies have incentives to overrate the ROI of these ads, too (because thats basically the rating of their work).

Here in Germany it is the same. Being a scout/guide strongly correlates with high(er) parental income, high(er) education and having no migratory background.

(This is not just anecdotal but are findings that the RDP (Ring of German scout organizations) made a couple years ago.)

In Swiss the day just ended. (The vscode team is partly located there)

So where does your B12 come from?

I think the notion in the article that it's the same or even worse this time because the exploit already is found to be exploited in the wild kind of strange. Isn't it far worse to disclose an unknown 0-day publicly then disclosing something that gets exploited already anyway?

>Once a reset link has been clicked, it should be immediately invalidated.

I'm not sure about this... Couldn't this produce some unexpected reset failures in cases of browsers preloading links in webmail clients?

I don't remember the phrasing of the question but it could very well be that a lot of the cssnext answers use PostCSS as well...

That doesn't mean that it has huge usage anyway though.

If I wait for recordings on Confreaks I just create an IFTTT recipe to email me or give me an android notification if the RSS feed gets filled up.

I don't have a clear opinion on the Crockford discussion but this post would be more convincing if it didn't put the lambda conf issue into the mix. I hope for Douglas Crockford that he doesn't want to get compared with Curtis Yarvin...

But whats their policy on DDoS? Since this is the topic you are posting this on just saying Hetzner "feels cheap" doesn't make that any less important.

Wow it's 2016 and Last.fm still isn't on HTTPS for anything other then login. And the "new frontend" is in beta for around a year IIRC...

Whats the problem with the docs? I mean docs can always be improved but I think the Guide is okay and the package docs are fine...

Better the people read it here and maybe click once then people trying emacs elpa updates 10x before they realize the GNU.org is down I guess ;)

Maybe, but it's not like there is no way of solving that issue.

It's just that this problem can't be solved entirely by npm. Node has to make changes to it's module loader as well.

I use Caddy on CentOS for quite a while. There is a Repo on Copr that let's you install it minimal or with plug-ins and it works just you would expect.

Ah so the traffic between piratebay and CloudFlare gets routed through Airtel. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think such a big revamp of the app would have been an ideal moment to finally change the name to something less disabled hostile.

Seems like it's not just airtel:

I find the name creative, kind of funny and all in all very good.

Isn't it a bit surprising that a company like Google can't give any helpful support for such an issue just because there is a holiday in the US? I mean AddSense has customers all around the globe...

In my opinion, the most interesting thing he said in that speech is that he doesn't plan to trigger article 50 immediately.

That will be controversial in both, the EU and Britain I think.

Two great talks when it comes to the questionable greatness of Perl:

> I know progressive web apps that are added to the homescreen still have that functionality but the main idea of PWAs was that the move from a website becoming an app should be as seamless as possible...

I was very disappointed as a first saw that change pop up in Chrome Dev for Android, but thought it was maybe a change of defaults and the option would get put in again before the release.

Now it's not in and I think thats very sad. It just degrades the open web in relation to native apps even more and the context switch between browser tabs and native apps is as big as it was years ago. Why don't keep the option?

I know progressive web apps that are added to the homescreen still have that functionality but the main idea of PWAs was that the move from a website becoming an app should be as seamless as possible...

I always thought that they would wait with this until they finally made an own iPad app, but that seems to be not they case.

Maybe it's because their mobile website is finally quite good, but looking at the Facebook Web Messenger story[1] I'm surprised they go that route.
