solidpy··on Joomla SQL Injection Attacks in the Wild
Joomla looks like a project frozen in time. The code and template engine reek of old php.

I'm glad I don't have to maintain anything in it again.

solidpy··on Please Do Not Steal My Code, Mock My Analysis, and Present My Ideas as Your Own
It doesn't hurt your internet reputation as much as it gives them fake internet reputation. Which eventually will come bite them back if they try to use it.
solidpy··on Cutting Back Sugar Improves Obese Children's Health in Just 10 Days
My local newspaper's website never links to outside pages, always to previous articles within the site. I assume it is to prevent readers to go wander off.
solidpy··on The viability of JavaScript frameworks on mobile
What's the status of asm.js in mobile? It would be nice if there was a front-end framework in some other language that could compile to asm.js.
solidpy··on Turning a climbing wall into a video game
An easy way to check would be to give the users gloves of a distinguishable color they are not wearing (it just have to cover the back of the hand) and check for that color to cover the dots.

Maybe it would be more accurate with sensors in the holds (maybe a low range IR sensor on each one). Starting/stopping the timer then would just be a matter of touching the right hold.
solidpy··on The spreadsheet as a minimum viable CMS
I once used Google Forms and Sheets to let users add data for a website (for which I had no control) and show the data with a userscript. You can even send simple sql in the url and get only the data you need.
solidpy··on Accelerated Mobile Pages Project
No flash, no sidebars, no bottom bars, no comments, a total of 6 requests vs 98. Of course it loads faster. And looks better. This is the way the web should be.
solidpy··on 100M games played
Or Shogi.
solidpy··on Humble Monthly Bundle
Interesting take on the monthly subscription thing. Personally I still have many humblebundle games I haven't even installed.
solidpy··on The HTTP/2 implementation
No. From the article:

> The SPDY support is removed, as it's incompatible with the new module.

solidpy··on The HTTP/2 implementation
I think the caching makes it more like a real world scenario and even with it the benefits of HTTP/2 are notable.
solidpy··on How JetBrains Lost Years of Customer Loyalty in Just a Few Hours
With the previous model you could just stop paying them and keep using your current version of the software. With the new model stop paying them and you are locked out.

I want DRM-free IDEs!

solidpy··on Steinway's 600,000th piano, the Fibonacci
Tbh, that could apply to any other number.
solidpy··on Show HN: Hitcount.me – Live Website Popularity
One more rule added to my filter. Thanks.
solidpy··on Ashley Madison founder steps down
Maybe there's space for a site like this where only the women are allowed first contact.
solidpy··on WordSafety – Check a name for unwanted meanings in foreign languages
If you are still here, it would be useful if we could link to a word, e.g.: http://wordsafety.com?word=dimwit
solidpy··on Kulitta: A framework for automated music composition (2014)
Name alert: Kulitta sounds like ass in some languages.
solidpy··on Unity Comes to Linux: Experimental Build Now Available
Are they comparable? I thought UE was geared towards FPS while Unity was more generalist.
solidpy··on Unity Comes to Linux: Experimental Build Now Available
I thought it was free until you started making an amount of money that made buying a license a non-issue.
solidpy··on Unity Comes to Linux: Experimental Build Now Available
> I fear that it is necessary to install half of Ubuntu to get the games running

This could be a good use case for Docker containers. I remember they showed Quake running on Docker at a convention so it should be possible.

solidpy··on WordSafety – Check a name for unwanted meanings in foreign languages
"Recoge" and "escoge" should work (first one for grabbing things, second for choosing things).
solidpy··on The Future of Developing Firefox Add-ons
And convenience comes with lack of power. Some extensions need access to more powerful features to do their thing. It would make more sense to just keep both.
solidpy··on GCC is moving to git
Git is free software, I don't see why RMS should have a problem with it. Is he still a commiter anyway?
solidpy··on Webmaker for Android
After trying it a bit, this could be very useful for quickly prototyping mobile application workflow.
solidpy··on Webmaker for Android
So is this Web Content the app helps people create accessible from a browser?
solidpy··on The XY Problem
I remember a question in asking for what kind of keyboard they could buy to type faster. The question got closed while I was preparing my answer: a stenotype.
solidpy··on Unix Toolbox
I've recently started using Arch and their Pacman Rosetta has helped me a lot, it has equivalences in package managers for all the popular distros: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta

Apparently there's no way https://twitter.com/softwaredoug/status/628911762105049088
solidpy··on How Amazon Deleted Me and All My DRM Without a Second Thought
Write a song about it.
