Re:Dropbox as a Git Server on Monday April 25, 2016 @04:32PM (#11567106)
Shameless plug: I've implemented something similar in the past, but with the addition of client-side encryption. I've been using it for some time without problems.

At a first glance at the design docs here, the present project looks more sophisticated in terms of syncing. I'm just using local file operations and hoping for dropbox to do its stuff :)

Does anyone know how putting diesel into the motor oil causes the engine to "[run] more smoothly and [use] less fuel"?
Re:Quantum ‘spookiness’ passes toughest test yet on Sunday August 30, 2015 @04:54AM (#10142774)
I think the problem with your analogy is that it doesn't include the measurement basis. Consider polarization of a photon: you can either distinguish between horizontal or vertical polarization with a measurement, so your basis looks like a "+". Or you can distinguish between diagonal polarizaitons, so your basis looks like an "X".

Now, considering two photons, you don't know which basis Alice or Bob will choose in advance. If you just say "the photon is polarized horizontally", then their outcomes will be random if they measure in the "X" basis. If you include so-called "hidden variables" for all possible measurements, then you're basically at Einstein's idea.

(I've simplified some things above, so please don't quote me on it ;)

"airbnb" results in

  “ayr”
  Arabic: penis
The only one I could find, so just bad luck :)
Shameless plug: If you want the data in dropbox encrypted, try https://github.com/lucas-clemente/git-cr :) I think I've also solved most of the concurrency problems, but haven't tested it yet.

Shameless plug: Might be interesting to combine this with client-side encrypted remotes, a feature of https://github.com/lucas-clemente/git-cr :)

Cool, thanks!

The file size (ember.min.js) went down due to the cleanup:

  1.13.8: 488K, 126K gzipped
  2.0.0:  424K, 110K gzipped
Re:Share: The Icon No One Agrees On on Wednesday June 11, 2014 @06:16PM (#7880747)
As an Apple user, everytime I see Android's share button I think of the Steam icon (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steam_logo.svg).

Do you plan on offering self-hosted setups in the future?
Re:Fixing Homebrew for OS X 10.10 Yosemite on Thursday June 05, 2014 @05:07PM (#7854510)
Homebrew already fixed that, you can just do a git pull in /usr/local.
Re:Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel peace prize on Wednesday January 29, 2014 @08:02AM (#7143529)
2009 - Obama

2014 - Snowden

That would certainly be something ;)

Re:Optimizing large selector sets on Thursday January 16, 2014 @04:11PM (#7072571)
Very cool! Could this be merged into jQuery, or are there reasons why that's not a good idea?
Re:F.lux on Thursday January 16, 2014 @12:12PM (#7070722)
Just out of interest, what is your temperature setting for night? I'm at 3600K, decreasing it every few weeks.
Re:GoConvey: Go testing in the browser on Thursday November 14, 2013 @07:02PM (#6736714)
This looks amazing, congratulations! I really like the idea of having a nice UI for keeping an eye on tests.

Does anyone know whether there's something similar for Ruby / Rails?

Interesting, could you give a quick explanation how this could work?

Chrome: "This page is in Haitian. Would you like to translate it?"

It might as well be.

I quite like pupil: http://pupil.io/

It allows you to change the resolution (zoom) from the menu bar.

Re:440Hz – Conspiracy against the human mind? on Tuesday October 22, 2013 @08:09AM (#6591229)
This is void of any citations of scientific studies or just about anything to back its claims. How does this get voted up?

Just a note: This was on the stackoverflow weekly newsletter yesterday. If you're interested in more questions like this it's worth to check it out, I like it a lot.
Re:Puffin Browser on Sunday August 11, 2013 @08:01PM (#6196942)
I'm wondering how the Snowden revelations affect companies like them. Having all your mobile browsing pass though a single point in the US probably doesn't sound like a good idea anymore to many of their potential users.

Also, I'd like to know whether they have the same kinds of speed improvement when loading resources over SSL connections.
