lemieux··on Enveloupe: An API for snail mail
Payment info over HTTP? Ehhh, no thanks.
lemieux··on Kazakhstan to MitM all HTTPS traffic starting Jan 1
I had exactly the same reaction.
lemieux··on Toolkit
I find Semantic UI to be very very interesting, but I have yet to figure out how to integrate it in my projects. I don't know if it's just me but it feels like they are forcing you to write your own styling in a separate repo, then generate the CSS and use it on your project, which to me, makes no sense.

I probably missed something.

lemieux··on Weave – The Docker Network
Agreed, but my point was that Docker doesn't reduce dev setup time. Give a good vagrant config file to a dev and tell him to do vagrant up and you have the same result as what you're saying. You can replicate production state with vagrant too (and bash scripts if we stretch this) and avoid "works on my machine" problems.

I'm not saying that vagrant > docker. The way I see it, docker is great if your infrastructure is using it all the way. If your prod setup if not dockerized, using docker in dev seems to me counterproductive than spinning up a VM and provisionning it with ansible or puppet to achieve production replication. As @netcraft said, I don't see why I should "change my server architecture" to use docker in dev.

So, basicaly, you're saying that you don't want to mess with that setup and use existing stuff... which you could achieve with everything as long as someone else do the setup for you. I don't see where Docker is better for a developper in this case... providing a vagrant box is exactly the same.
lemieux··on Facebook is down
And then you realise that global productivity doesn't go up... it is just replaced by a bunch of people hitting Refresh like crazy.

And then, productivity went up.
lemieux··on Lightspeed – A Browser Experiment
> No cross-site loading of any kind; all source material MUST come from the domain you are on. This would seriously break some sites but it would close large gaps in security and tracking.

This would probably break almost everything. Who doesn't use some sort of a CDN nowadays?

lemieux··on Moto 360
I must say that my Dell XPS 13 is a pretty good machine for development. I can take it anywhere without any problems. Sure it is 13", but I can go below 13".

On the plus side, it has a Ubuntu logo on it instead of that crappy Windows logo.

lemieux··on MWOpenInKit: An attempt to fix iOS third-party app linking
Thanks for the answer!
lemieux··on MWOpenInKit: An attempt to fix iOS third-party app linking
I don't know anything in iOS development and I have a basic knowledge of how Android works (I'm a web dev), but is this something that Android handles really well with intents?
lemieux··on "Ode To Ubuntu's Unity Dash". The Poem.
I have no problem on my personal laptop (i7, 8GB RAM, SSD), but on my work laptop (i5,6GB, HDD) it is horrible. I can wait up to 10 seconds before it appears... I just disabled the Super key binding on that computer.

CTRL+ALT+T might be faster in your case.
lemieux··on Appmaker
Exactly the experience I had...
lemieux··on Cloud-based User Management for Web Apps
Exactly what I thought! I find it nice, but why would I let a third party manage the most critical part of my platform : my users? You close shop unexpectedly, I close shop. You are down? I am down too.

The dependency between my system and this one would be way too great to consider the option.

lemieux··on AT&T Pretends It, Too, Will Build A 1 Gigabit Network
Internet prices in Canada are awful... Videotron is charging me 50$/mo for 10 down / 1 up and a supplement of 30$ for unlimited download... and the other provider in Montreal (Bell) has exactly the same pricing scheme... we have a lot of choices.
lemieux··on Need job to save my relationship
That's plain cheap.
lemieux··on Sublime Text 3 Beta
Right. I just figured.
lemieux··on Sublime Text 3 Beta
Is it just me or Package Control doesn't work on it?
lemieux··on The Making Of OpenERP
The catch is that you have to share their link to have access to the demo.

EDIT : you need to go on this page and share http://www.sorrysap.com/

lemieux··on Half A Million People Voted Against Facebook’s Governance Changes
"To Facebook’s credit, it gave this vote a fair chance. It emailed all its users about the proposal".

I never received any email about that. Maybe to all its users who didn't opt out for email alerts, but not ALL its users.

What about Zurb Foundation?
lemieux··on How to set up a safe and secure Web server
Nginx and jetty are not the same thing. Nginx is a web server optimized to deliver content. Jetty is an application server built to run the applications. Both can be used together.

Also...Is Amazon EC2 considered virtualization for you?
