Judging by the contents of the list for the Netherlands, we are doing quite well: https://whynohttps.com/country/nl
Most pressing ones are uva.nl (major University) and at5.nl (local but relatively large news site).

So why won't you play a truly random shuffled deck?
Re:As a back end dev, how can I make life easier for the front end devs?
on Friday February 10, 2017 @03:27AM (#13614005)
I would say that working closely together with the front-end devs is key. Listen to what they are trying to do, and see where you can help. Mind you though, that it should be balanced, because you want to avoid doing work that is unnecessarily complicated to make the life of the front-enders better.

Number 31 ("Play poker well enough to win the World Series of Poker.") is a pretty empty statement, as 1 tournament does not reflect your skill at poker at all. Short term variance is too big of a factor when it comes to one 1 tournament result.

That sounds amazing, do you have any sources / benchmarks to back this up?
Re:Chrome is developing a Sidebar API
on Tuesday July 07, 2015 @10:06AM (#9845497)
Important part here:
"Does this API expose any functionality to the web?"
"No"
But why would you place this tab on a live site? It's a great tool for developers, but there's no need to place this in production imo.

I think something of a timeout on the message bubbles is needed.. As to not cloud the screen too much. Nice work though :)

Good stuff, small remark: the braking and accelerating on the car are pretty poor (as in, both take forever).

"What’s your opinion on pre-processors like SASS and LESS? Does CSS have anything to learn from them?
(...) My own favorites would be nested comments, and single-line comments (starting with //). When CSS turns 50 I’ll tell you why they were not part of CSS from the beginning."
Now, this makes me really wonder why single-line comments weren't part of the spec from the beginning. And I can't wait 30 years... Anyone an idea?

For what its worth, she mentioned in a television show that she got a 7 (out of 10) mark for the project, which was people thought was rather low. The fact is that she does a kind of art study and that the teacher was not all to impressed with the 'art' she created for the project.

Is this what the app by Pokerstars uses? The app is not available in the Play Store due to the gambling nature of the app, but it checks for updates itself when opened.

Did this exploit actually got exploited? Or did they notify the site and gave them an opportunity to fix it before they released their findings?

That's essentially doing the same trick twice, only with a slightly larger version that matches the border color of the box and is positioned behind the smaller triangle.

Facebook should implement a setting where you can disable this feature, so others cannot see if you have read their message, but at the same time this info is hidden for you as well.

Interesting approach, at first glance I was not really convinced, but seeing the possible applications in wearable electronics, this might be the ideal solution.
