Re:Why we need the best tools on Chromebooks and Raspberry Pi on Tuesday November 15, 2016 @04:23AM (#12956699)
If VS Code is written in HTML/CSS/JS wouldn't it be possible to use it without devmode on Chromebook?

Oh, I just found a issue for that: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1031

I should've done the same. After 8 months of having it it still has a lot of very weird issues. I hoped Dell would somehow fix it with a firmware update but nope... everything is still the same.
Which version? I've got XPS 13 9350 and it's been a constant pain. Boot time is very slow [0], bluetooth connectivity is weak, I've got constant graphic glitches when on battery. Latest update of the video driver introduced annoying coil noise, I had to downgrade. Actually I have two XPS 13s at home and both of them have some issues.

I'm also using Dell Thunderbold Dock TB15 and it drops video output and USB connections after 3h (because of heat) [1].

Of course I've got everything updated.

I had an excellent experience with XPS 12 years ago but this 9350 is constantly driving me crazy. I would certainly not recommend it.

Re:Purposes, Concepts, Misfits, and a Redesign of Git on Friday September 30, 2016 @04:09PM (#12614970)
Not the parent but I'm using it to stage sections of the file and then revert everything that is not staged. For example all logging statements. Or use staging as a mini commit. It's sometimes easier to look at the diff and stage what you consider to be working code without introducing commits. That of course could also be done with committing and then squashing but that's more work :)
Re:Ask HN: How are credentials managed at your company? on Wednesday August 31, 2016 @10:26AM (#12398525)
This is by far the most interesting scheme in this entire thread!

How do your software components authenticate to each other? With client certificates?

Re:Can we use Jenkins for that? on Tuesday December 15, 2015 @12:47PM (#10739147)
Yep. Not long ago a remote code execution hole in Java was found. Fortunately Jenkins was quickly patched: https://jenkins-ci.org/content/mitigating-unauthenticated-re...
Re:Git-appraise: Distributed code review system for Git repos on Monday December 14, 2015 @04:38PM (#10734114)
Probably the same way that git handles author and committer fields see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10005577
Re:Git-appraise: Distributed code review system for Git repos on Monday December 14, 2015 @04:19PM (#10733953)
What's interesting is that this project seems to be using itself for code review.

Clone the repo and then fetch notes manually:

    git fetch origin refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
After installing it through "go get" check existing code reviews with "git appraise list".

There are notes from Jenkins and comments from developers as far as I can see.

Seems to be a little bit slow on my computer but the idea is really brilliant.

Re:Show HN: Nchan – a pub/sub server as an Nginx module on Sunday December 06, 2015 @01:58PM (#10686122)
Wow, excellent! I've been looking for lightweight websockets pubsub and had to create something simple in Node to achieve it but this would've sufficed.

I can't wait to give it a try.

Re:GitHub's Metal Cloud on Wednesday December 02, 2015 @06:29AM (#10662338)
Unfortunately most of the material on ChatOps currently covers only how to get Hubot to display cat pictures or other trivia [1]. Maybe it's because each company should create their own "chat API" but I'd also like to hear some real, inside "war stories".

Does anyone knows what app does GitHub use for chats? Looks like a simple and elegant UI over Basecamp.

Re:List of secure websites on Monday November 16, 2015 @03:23AM (#10573237)
TLS is not strictly mandatory in HTTP/2 (see h2c) but even if it was this list solves another problem - when user types e.g. Google.com in their browser the initial connection is made via HTTP. Preload list says "if this domain is typed in address bar go straight to HTTPS, if that's not possible stop the connection".
Re:List of secure websites on Monday November 16, 2015 @03:17AM (#10573224)
Then the attacker could just block the update servers.

Would you mind sharing which XMPP client do you use?

Re:DNSSEC surpasses 50% of root domains on Friday January 24, 2014 @09:22AM (#7114943)
Wow, I didn't know about it! That's a shame it was removed - I couldn't find a site to test it or the issue in Chromium tracker about removing it though.

More information: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=50874
