There is a well known open ended interview question - "what happens when you type a url in a browser and hit enter?". I have many a times imagined (I have never been asked this exact question) overwhelming the interviewer with details, that comes in waves, by going deeper and deeper, by asking rhetorical questions like "but what happens there" loudly and not caring what he answers, almost channeling Sheldon Cooper. In this fun scenario , I restricted myself to network stack of the OS and routing mechanism. However, I recently found this article http://danluu.com/navigate-url/ that is much more hardcore. It is now one of my favorite, if not all time.

I don't understand why the licenses seem to be 'forever'. Surely a 25 year license which is then sold again at auction would have been a better design.

The 'forever' licenses also can't be resold (although the entire company owning them can merge). That means if in the future another technology which completes with 3G so incumbents don't want to get involved comes along and could make great use of that spectrum, it won't get use.

Most copyright laws make a distinction between copyright infringement done as part of trade and copyright infringement done for personal use.

EDIT: For fuck's sake, this is true, and follows from WIPO Copyright Treaty into the Copyright Directive for the EU and whatever the US equivalent is. Breaching copyright as part of trade turns it into a criminal offence, merely breaching copyright for personal use is a civil tort.

That's why in the various bit-torrent legal cases people who torrent are sued for loss by companies in courts, while people who run businesses running torrent sites are prosecuted by law enforcement.

Admittedly, as a fan of The Laundry Files, that's a major problem with the Atrocity Archives, for the first half, anyways. The second half, after Bob and Mo visit the Atrocity Archives themselves, is much better. We meet a variety of Checkov's Guns, several important people, and get a glimpse of the kind of horror that the Laundry Files is all about. The Concrete Jungle, a short story included in the book, is equally absorbing, and sets the scene for all short stories to come, as well as showing us a bit more of Angleton, and giving us introduction to MAGINOT BLUE STARS.

The second novel, The Jennifer Morgue, is very good, and largely free of the problems you mentioned, but is very different from much of the rest of the series, for reasons which will become obvious when you read it. It's in the third book, The Fuller Memorandum, where the series really hits its stride, and gets going.

However, the series doesn't mind an offside wink or two every once in a while, like Persephone's parenthesized Enochian, and the way The Scrum talks about its problems.
I totally agree with this.

Sites that do financial transactions, or require user logons or user submissions (forums, comments etc.) need to be SSL, most others don't need to be secure at all. If I am reading a random blog by Joe, and he doesn't have a comments section, why does the site need to be in HTTPS?

Scaling that up - if I'm not logged into Wikipedia, and simply searching and reading articles, why does that need to be served under HTTPS either?

By forcing every site to go HTTPS not only increases the cost of ownership (in time, and optionally, cost) but also adds complexity for small site owners, and completely goes against the open web ideal.

It should be down to the owner of the site if they want to add SSL, those that don't and fulfil the criteria I've outlined, should not be penalised for it.

There's hardly any overhead involved if you add to the browsers page parsing routines a function to identify input fields, and mark a warning on the address bar accordingly if the site is not secure.

Blanket warning on all non-HTTP sites is just lazy.
I see two factors why every cURL release is more popular than Linux releases:

a) Most people get their Linux fix through distributions, nobody [1] is compiling their own kernel any more. So knowing about a Linux release is mostly for curiosity sake, what can be used in x months/years.

b) cURL is also extremely widely used [2], so every release matters and can easily compiled/installed directly, without waiting for distributions to catch on.

[1] exceptions prove the rule

[2] even Microsoft added an 'curl' alias for accessing URLs via HTTP in their PowerShell

I call it "serverless" in the sense that it doesn't require any server-side code. The "decentralized" is because it also doesn't require stable internet connections to work properly - you can edit on multiple computers simultaneously with or without internet and the edits can still all be merged correctly when they finally sync up.

Sorry to confuse folks! The original acronym actually just meant "sync down, decrypt, edit, encrypt, sync up" which is maybe less ambiguous of a description.
Best eCommerce web design and development company – Service and Solution Provider: Want to build your own online store from scratch? Here are a few quick steps and tips to create custom eCommerce website from the scratch. If you are looking for an informative post that could guide you in the building process, here it is.

Ecommerce Design : Captivate Customers With Rich UI and UX
To be considered: Mobile and fluidic responsiveness, quality CSS and JS that’s rewritable

Though responsiveness has become a mandatory part of anything that’s online, the quality of it matters in terms of delivering the desired experience to users across all devices they get you access your ecommerce website from. Responsive templates and themes help in overcoming device fragmentation.

CSS and JS determine the ability of a ecommerce website theme or template to be customized. Make sure, even if you go for a free theme, it’s developed in such a way that it can house any cosmetic changes.

> Because certificates are about identity verification as well as encryption.

That's the problem. Why are you deriving trust from a self signed certificate? The UI should be similar to plaintext if there isn't a verifiable chain of trust. There isn't any issue of misplaced trust if you aren't actually labeling the connection as trusted.

> Anyone can issue a certificate for any domain

No, they can issue a certificate that allows for encrypted communication with the current host. Trusting a self signed certificate for any other purpose would be a serious bug.

A network of these, with logging of historical data, would very possibly have helped with MH370 / Air France 447 etc. If they can maintain coverage of most of the oceans, this'll be an incredibly useful tool for future lost flights... not to mention real-time updates for flight arrival times etc. I'm amazed that we currently don't have any idea where aircraft are (except self-reporting) over most international waters...
I guess he objects to corruption coming from WEU while talking about "democracy" and "prosperity"? I can't count the cases similar stuff was pulled off by German, Italian, French etc. companies in EEU, propelling corruption to insane levels, while posing as saviors and pointing fingers at EEU as the ones with the corruption issues? Wasn't there even a German custom of not punishing bribery in less advanced countries while prosecuting it inside Germany; and once managers of a large German company became well-versed in corruption practices outside and tried to pull the same in Germany, weren't they promptly busted?

I agree, it would be nice if everything else (even the dev tools) was just an add-on, even if it was officially provided and supported by Mozilla and installed by default (or asked upon install when doing a custom install). That's not the way things are though, in no popular browser, and people complaining about Mozilla doing this bugs me a bit.

As an aside, I'm looking for this on Android (address bar, tabs and viewport). Habit Browser comes close but is not open source. Basically just a WebView with an address bar and tabs. If anyone has ideas, let me know.
Thanks! I will do that.

I came into this comments section to post about how I didn't actually know any programmers who acted as the author described, but in seeing the other comments I guess I've just been extraordinarily lucky not to have to work with divas.

Of course I and others I know have preferences about chairs, keyboards, and monitors, but not so much that they claim they can't to their jobs. Quite frankly, I wouldn't want to work with somebody like that. Who wants to work with somebody who thinks their skill set gives them licence to bitch and moan? Who wants to work with somebody who bitches and moans, period?
Just implement it. It's not hard. All the libraries you need already exist and are relatively high quality. I have done it myself (non-free system) getting on to 10 years ago. It took me less than a year by myself and I even wrote my own SIP implementation. These days you could certainly do it faster.

There are a few problems, though. One is that NAT traversal will still probably mean that it will be unreliable unless you also set up a service to carry data. The other main problem is that nobody will pay you for it. There are literally hundreds of failed startups who realised how easy it is to build these things. They couldn't find a way to make money.

It should be easy because if people are forced to pay for a service to carry data in order to make it reliable, you should be able to make money. Right? The problem is that people won't pay for reliability because they think that the software is buggy (see comments above re: "I tried Hello, but it was buggy. No audio, etc." Classic).

Skype famously solved this problem by being evil and routing it's traffic through un-NATed users. Google solves this problem by having more bandwidth than god (and hangouts still sucks half the time).

But if you ignore the "there's no way to make money at this" problem, it's a pretty fun project to write.

When you want to have someones property it is not unfair to ask for its _current_ value.

The Swedes might have bought the property for $28 million back then, but who says that it isn't worth today $800 million or $120 million?

The market could have grown, the Swedes could also have invested a lot of money afterwards in factories and so on.

When looking at a country like Romania and the insane corruption going on there it is really hard to say for outsiders who is to blame in this case.

I mean they nationalise markets (= steal stuff that others built or bought), who is to say that the same Romanian officials that stole the property did not force the Swedes to pay bribes in order for them to not loose everything.

Your argument basically stops making sense for me the moment you mention nationalisation of property as if it wasn't stealing. How would you feel if your government nationalised your house or your car?

Well you lived in your house for 20 years already, so you sufficiently profited from owning it, didn't you? Now get out and go sleep under a bridge! No you're not going to get any money back, except if you bribe me with $600.000.
Actually, it was distributed. Your code ran on your system. So long as it spoke the Steet protocol, and you had the real estate, you could run whatever you wanted.

"You post an article about a new programming language, you'll get 10 replies. But start a discussion on what headphones you wear while you work, and ten-thousand people will rise up from nowhere, pushing the thread ever-skywards on a tower of upvotes"

Not many people care about your new programming language, but everybody understands the importance of a good chair, monitor, or headphones, and when you ask people for an opinion, they'll express it.

IMO, code with whatever you want, but I'll stick to my Herman Miller Embody, a self-modified 45g-uniform Realforce Silenced Keyboard, a 4K 30-inch dell monitor (UP3216Q), and 2 27-inch dells (U2713HM).

Alright then, nobody ever talk to that offended person in any shape or form again, ever. No biggie when that happens from time to time, right?

That's the way people are about everything. Read many of the comments on HN and you will come to the same conclusion. We like to "bullshit" and tell anecdotes. This is fine for being social but it's a very inefficient way to learn and pass on knowledge.
