Ah... Nothing like erotica/porn/sexyness to motivate a person :)

I like it. I like the idea and the choice of text. Victorian english and erotism go hand in hand. (It may be a cultural fetish, I don't know).

My only criticism is the annoying pop-up when failing. I would rather repeat the word than have the annoying pop-up and restarting the sentence. It just breaks the flow.

[EDIT] Another thing. The failing, Enter exits the pop up but I dont have folus on the text-box (I have to click it). Please fix this. Don't break the flow.
Thanks for this blog post. I was attempting to fix up a server last week and couldn't find or figure out a fix for it at the time.
This area is a mess, there is now a difference between all major browsers and even between Firefox versions (With the Developer version complaining where regular FF does not).

For example firefox mentions SHA-1 insecurity when visting the google jquery CDN. [1] Chrome doesn't seem to care however and there are other sites where it is vice-versa.

3 Mobile Security Quick Tips to Share with Clients
Had the same problem with an Acer Chromebook and a Nexus 4, the Chromebook goes in sleep mode when the phone is placed over the keyboard in a particular position.
I also enjoy the game very much! The only thing that bothers me is the modal dialog at the end- with only options of get the app or restart. What about an option to simply close the modal? For some reason this bugs me. It might be important if you add a variable (faster speed, etc.) that I want to change before I restart.

If you ask then just don't.

Why do you expect that it would be interesting for others if you don't have something that's interesting for you to write about? Or something that you know in depth and you know most of the potential readers don't?

The right question would be something like "I have a lot of material about X, Y and Z but I can write only about one, let's vote."

And honestly, the first thing I thought reading your question was "somebody running a mechanical Turk web content farm asks for some new spamming ideas. Now he'll just collect the list of the answers here and give it to his slaves. On the second thought, he won't even bother making the list, he'll just send the link to the answers. The question was whole six words."
Looking back would it have been easier to do the whole things in JS/HTML/CSS?

I've noticed the same thing re: Chrome not caring about subresources. Eg, we use Mixpanel, and mixpanel uses Akamai, and Akamai use CBC which is considered obsolete, but that doesn't trigger an 'outdated' warning.

I asked David Benjamin from Chrome and right now, sub resources aren't included in Chrome warnings (he thinks they should be though):

Just to clarify, the attack you want to protect against is that of an adversary being able to conclude the DH public key exchange with a bona fide weave peer, despite having no knowledge of the password. Correct?

But what can an adversary learn from doing so? All subsequent messages on the connection are encrypted with the secret key, which has the password mixed in.
Indeed. In my graduate program you were either get a B or higher, or you were in the professor's office having a tough conversation about your future.
That's what I was thinking. Albeit incredibly altruistic, the CEO's job is to steer and control the direction of the company. Most of the time that it done due to his position, but sometimes that power is wielded due shares owned in the company.

This man does not sound like he should be the CEO.
A retry feature in C#/F# would be nice for sure!
I had the exact opposite situation. I was encouraged to challenge myself and take the hard courses through high school, because it would look better on my transcript. I finished with a rather low GPA (around a C+), while simultaneously having a really high SAT score (770 verbal, 710 math).

Colleges here use both to determine scholarship eligibility, and it turns out I qualified for nothing. If I had taken the easier classes and raised my GPA to meet the threshold, I would have gotten a full ride based on my SAT.

The moral here is you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Interesting. It is silly that articles come out with tough grading rankings, based on what? I was just stating an article to further prove the point that not all schools are just a breeze and hand out As, and the higher grades are more likely attributed to having higher performing students, the trends of which become more obvious as competition for college acceptance goes up every year.

I think for my school people did choose the right majors but the Professors were hired based on their ability to bring in research/grant money and had no interest/some even acted disgusted at having to bother to teach a class, therefore alot of the class, despite being high performers in general, found that alot of classes, almost 100% consistent with the Professors mainly focused on research as opposed to teaching, caused lower grades overall. We have a very low endowment and overall much less money than MIT, so the pressure/incentive to hire Professors based on their ability to bring money in the school always trumps their ability to teach or produce a stimulating curriculum in general.

I would say this results in higher curves due to lower test performance in classes, that do not actually result in curving everyone up to an A, and thus is perceived by the outside world as "tough grading" but I think the students are of high caliber, but really it is a result of poor teaching. If the 64 students who have made it through the first two years of a college with high grades, all go into one class, and suddenly the average is 18/100 on an exam, and the 4.0 student makes a 55/100 and also gets an F without a curve, then we could say, maybe this is an issue with the a construct of incentivizing Professors to actually bother teaching and not so much that the students werent cut out for the major.

To add more stats, according to 2013, there were 16,000 undergraduate applicants to my school with an incoming freshman class of 1,204 so similar.

But on the more general point, I don't think the main driver for the disparity between high grades in private schools is due to a scandal or grade inflation, as most of my points support, in general higher performing students get into higher performing schools and those more competitive schools are good, especially with a large applicant pool, at deciding who is capable of doing well there, though I would say MIT is much better at this than my school was.
It's an interesting trend that I have seen among my company's user base. It could be real, but it could also be an increase in false positives.

A possible explanation for the false positives:

Many large companies are seeing more and more machines moving to IE11, but have websites/tools that require IE8. Ideally each web site should explicitly declare compatibility/standard modes they require in their HTML. But for older enterprise software, this is not an option, so companies take the 'easy' approach of enabling compatibility mode for all sites and/or all intranet sites. A better approach when you can't edit the html of the web app is to use the group policy editor and set compatibility mode on a URL by URL basis. But many companies take the easier route. This is my theory that may explain the false positives.

If they aren't doing so, tools that aggregate browser usage should be doing additional analysis on the user agent string to get a better sense of the 'true' IE version. Perhaps using methods like ie-truth [1]. When I see trends like increased IE8 usage, it doesn't make sense to me... so I have doubts that these tools are testing the browser type accurately.

I'd find some arena of technical expertise where you frequently read blogs that you find have missing material, are hard to understand, frequently misrepresented by the media, don't make it easy to connect the dots and implications of the thoughts presented etc.

As has been said "If you cannot explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough." Look for the complicated paradigms that have no simple explanations - things that fascinate you ideally; research them and cut through all the BS, connect the dots for people, explain the consequences and applications of the paradigms and make it simple for people to understand, don't dumb it down necessarily, but explain it in terms that non-genii can understand with real world metaphors that everyone has experience with ... and they will come. At least, I will :P

To me, it seems almost as if the web dev is saying "if you don't have the latest, most up-to-date, most powerful device/whatever, then we don't want you looking at our ads". Seriously? I thought the idea of advertising was to get as many eyeballs as possible. That way of thinking seems so counter-productive to me, plus I can't imagine the advertiser being very happy with that approach. Thinking back to my days working in recording studios, we always mixed stuff in a way that it would sound good on both a giant audio system or a small, cheesy boom-box, with the idea that we wanted everyone who listens to have a good experience no matter what system they were using. I'm not quite sure why this methodology can't be applied here.
That article is about SHA1, which is a different topic.
There are a number of others building hotspot databases like this but mainly taking a purely automatic, heuristic approach. Our plan is to augment this with an engaged community of users who can help curate the database further in a way that isn't possible through an automated-only approach. See my comment below for more details.
Silently downloading updates in the background is another frustrating trend. I've had data caps get blown not due to my actions, but due to updates.

That would be the obvious moral but not the correct one (necessarily). While it might help you learn the most and receive the best education, if the results are a string of Bs and Cs, versus As and Bs if you took easier classes, it will absolutely negatively impact your job search and employer perspective of your applications.

(As an aside, this is but one of the reasons internships/coops/externships are so important for undergrads.)

Is It Wrong to Let Children Do Extreme Sports?
You could blog about controversial topics related to tech, and have a small chance of getting splashed around the news circuit. That article will be pretty much forgotten in a time-frame of a few hours to a few days. Very few articles live beyond that.

Or you could write things that are "googleable". Solve a hard python problem? write about it, found a bug in a framework? Blog about it.

People searching for those things will find it. It'll never make a "splash", but the tail is longer.

It depends on what you want to accomplish. Is the purpose of the blog to demonstrate to the world how "brilliant" you are? Or is it to genuinely help your fellow programmer man?

Older Opera browser versions (and Firefox/Chrome with plugins) allow you to deactivate CSS. Then you see the website as you want it.
It's because Windows 2003 support ends on July 14th, 2015, and Microsoft is enforcing a browser upgrade to the latest available version (IE8) even for Custom Support Agreements that take effect after that date. So in order for any customer to continue to get 2003 OS support they have to upgrade to IE8.

On the server side, we will see some similar micro-effects as we get closer to January 1, 2016, where IE7 will go down and IE9 will go up due to 2008 having to upgrade, and IE9 will go down and IE11 will go up due to 2008 R2 having to upgrade.
From what I have been able to determine.. the "Searching... " and blocking of the browser (tab) is because that site does not exist in punkSPIDER's index. Eventually the site stops blocking the browser and "No results found!" is displayed.

From the article the only use case of punkSPIDER mentioned explicitly is where a consumer could use the site to determine how many "known" vulnerabilities exist at that site before they go entering sensitive information.

This makes sense to me. I don't read any programming blogs on a regular basis; I never have. I read individual posts that I find in web searches when looking for specific information. I couldn't care any less what the rest of the blog is about (though if I like one post, I may well read a few more while I'm there).
Closure is a function that "remembers" all variables that were in scope at the place where that function was created. It can then use these variables (as if they were global variables), even if they are outside of the scope when the function is invoked.

These variables also won't get garbage collected because of that.

This feature is most useful when you create anonymous functions that you pass around.

Example:

function foo() {
var localVariable = 3;
return (function () { // this anonymous function can reference localVariable because it is a closure and remembers outside scope
localVariable++;
alert(localVariable);
})
}

var increase = foo(); //foo returns freshly created anonymous function that we assign to local variable "increase".
//foo also created local variable "localVariable"
//and it went out of scope when foo returned,
//but that variable won't be GC-ed as long we keep reference to "increase",
//because increase has that "localVariable" in scope

increase() // we call that variable - it executes that functions and writes 4

function bar() {
var localVariable = 100; //this is different variable with the same name
increase(); //bar can reference increase because bar is a closure, so it remembers outside scope
}

bar(); // writes 5
increase(); //writes 6

var increase2 = foo(); // this creates another function and another localVariable

increase2(); //writes 4
increase(); //writes 7

It's useful for similar things as objects in OO programming (grouping data with code), but encourages different approach to this.

Closures also make functional code with passing functions bearable - without it you would have to explicitly pass variables from scope to each function, or to depend on dynamic scope, so your functions would use different variables depending where they are called.
