I can't think of an alternate analogy but I don't think breaking in to a person's house by smashing their window is equivalent to penetration testing.

But I get your point.

I was the technical lead on the building of the typewriter itself. If anyone has any questions about how it works, happy to answer.

Whoops :( you're probably right.

/seen is basically a reimagining of the IRC command !seen, based on social media instead of channel presence. Any suggestions or feedback is much appreciated :)

We plan our vacations in Trello! Personally I think that's less hardcore than using Slack for family group chat.

I dual-booted Mint on my 2011 MBA the other week and it was a nasty experience. I feel like Linux users have low standards, or maybe I've been away too long. Here's four things I found immediately:

1. The fans don't automatically react to temperature without a background daemon (?!).

2. Multi-touch trackpad support is terrible. The default synaptic driver can't handle you resting your thumb on the bottom of the trackpad. The alternative driver doesn't support momentum scrolling (and is still a bit shit). At least palm detection has been solved; well done Linux, it only took you 10 years.

3. It cannot seem to handle using left Alt as a third-level activator (e.g. for # key on EU keyboards) at the same time as actually letting you /use/ your Alt key (e.g. for activating menus). I think I eventually solved this, but how hard should it be?!

4. As others have mentioned; battery life.

I was impressed that sleep, audio, wifi and display brightness all worked out of the box though. Progress, eh?

It feels like the steps taken to improve anonymity are really arbitrary, without any particular threat model.

'Randomly' taking a bus you never take to a city you've never been to and never go to again just to buy a phone, sit in a coffee shop for 5 minutes, and go home, sounds like a good way to make someone pay attention to what you're doing.

And if you think that's too much paranoia, I'm pointing it out because number 8 on this list says 'never use the phone from a place you routinely go', which feels like it's on a similar level.

Nice! Great suggestion :)

Jumping on the bandwagon by saying I helped make another distracting gif thing that scrapes Twitter instead: http://www.gifpeek.com/

Did you consider Hawk? https://github.com/hueniverse/hawk

Interesting describing ASCII art as 'beautiful'. You can tell this isn't Designer News :P

I don't know whether it's search habits, or what, but 80% of searches I do on DuckDuckGo I look at the results, sigh, and prepend !google.

I think mainly they don't want you making a tool that works with Heroku and using their branding so it's confusing for users as to whether it's endorsed or not.

Headline should read: Zombie apocalypse averted for now.

I'm being facetious, but Twitter clients were a win-win for Twitter too, until they decided they weren't.

How about integrating with a protocol instead of adding value to someone else's product?

Have we not learned our lessons from how Twitter treated developers?

Enjoy getting shut off when Slack decide they don't want customers to be adding functionality without paying their per integration rate, or want to stop getting the support tickets from people using your service and confusing it with Slack itself.

Fees. Hundreds of bloody fees.

Search the file for 'goto fail'

And they used it to make Shepherd http://github.hubspot.com/shepherd/docs/welcome/ which also looks really handy (JS-based app tour library)

This is impressive. Emulators have nuances that make me wonder when watching TASs if they would actually work on the game itself.

Are all 'accepted' TASs tested in a similar way?

I can't believe they're not trying to secure this already.

Yeah you're right, the 'crypto guys' would've probably just said "Don't even try it because you'll kill people and even we wouldn't want to try and do it".

Crypto is hard to get right, that doesn't mean anyone shouldn't even bother trying.

I was using Firefox when it happened :)

Good work!

Sometimes the page loads just blank, with no modal. Can't get it to do it now but it happened on my first load.

The problem is profit is too closely tied to accounting, and doesn't correspond to success or size.

I'd not heard of SNI before. Is this something that can be used now?!

Agreed we want to improve the UX with encrypting/decrypting, but at the same time we didn't want to hide the entire process from the user because it might feel like nothing is actually happening.

It's always lunchtime somewhere.

(In this case, it's noon in England)

Also strongly agree with the second point about lack of coordination among teachers in schools and university. It really, really annoys me.

"20xx: The year of Linux gaming" is the new "20xx: The year of the Linux desktop"
