Re:Pornhub Bypasses Ad Blockers with WebSockets on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @01:29PM (#12848108)
It did strike me as odd while researching this that they spent so much time getting around ad blockers when they own the ad server as well as the content..

They could leverage the kind of stuff Facebook does already by serving the ads as regular content.

It actually used to (maybe still does) signal routing information[1]. An example from the RFC is "@ONE,@TWO:JOE@THREE" [1]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc821

Re:Ack is a grep-like tool, optimised for programmers on Wednesday May 07, 2014 @04:22PM (#7712439)
ag is not available as a package on debian stable. Ack is though; as ack-grep. So if you don't want to mess with CPAN that's fine. The non-CPAN instructions are right on the website.

That would be a better title than "Learn Perl by experiment" or "perl-by-example" or "A Guide to Perl: By Experiment" all of which suggest a tutorial, which you're saying is not what you're trying to present.

Is this to get only the NSA to stop collecting data on everybody, or Google/Facebook as well?

And of course this awesome uncrackable crypto relies on private keys stored on teenagers iphones.
