what does it do? the page doesn't even mention a product until near the end and then...doesn't explain?

Read your comment. Read the parent.

Yeah, we used to kill kids. Personally I think we shouldn’t have.

You're claiming that Trump is pro-immigration?

muteh | 1 year ago | on: Starship Flight 7

To be clear, you’re claiming that this was in fact behind them?

muteh | 1 year ago | on: USPS shared customer postal addresses with Meta, LinkedIn and Snap

So the data wasn’t shared? These companies do not have USPS PII?

muteh | 2 years ago | on: Trello Allegedly Breached

I think it's important to be clear that this isn't some small startup. Trello is Atlassian

muteh | 6 years ago | on: Scrabble rule change allows use of 'OK'

I mean I'd love to hear the story as well, but clearly for different reasons.

Well I'm using the one I've had for five years. Our anecdata seems to be conflicting.

I'm not sure you understand how the law works

It might not be hard for them to do it, but how is the end user meant to know to ask if they do?

Someone from Facebook explained what happened though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10386811

muteh | 10 years ago | on: Facebook '2G Tuesdays' to better understand markets like India

I used this at work today. Someone had asked what our webapp's sysreqs were. I said that network connection was very unlikely to be a problem, but it really struggled when set to GPRS. Now, I think it's unlikely that anybody would be using it on that, but it's still good to know that it's an issue.

How many years? How many internet services do you use that have run for 2 + "a few more" years?

They were acquired nearly two years ago. http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what... says that the site is explicitly for acquihires. If this was an acquihire then they royally screwed it up.

muteh | 11 years ago | on: Aphorisms, Rules, and Heuristics

1) The current title _is_ the title of the linked to document

2) Why didn't the old one have 'rules' in it? Removing it looks like editorializing.

muteh | 11 years ago | on: HipChat is now free for unlimited users

Team communication: Teams need to interact in a variety of different ways: public groups/private groups, fixed groups/ad-hoc groups, groups/1-2-1. HipChat supports a variety of different ways of interacting, and does so in a way that's easy to use. People nowadays use a variety of different devices (and classes of device). HipChat has a range of native clients, plus a web based one, and so can be used on most of the devices that people want to use it on. (We use Slack, but I've tried and liked HipChat too)

muteh | 11 years ago | on: So You Want to Write Your Own CSV code

I've never really got my head round RFCs, but 4180 is only informational, not a standard. I have used exactly your argument before though, and will again. Have also been on the other side and needed to convert horribly inconsistent data to fit it.

muteh | 12 years ago | on: Build Tools – Make, no more

I know you're just being glib, but here are some answers: * build doesn't mean compile * you can compile your build process and then use that to actually run your build * the benefits of typed languages go beyond catching errors at compile time

muteh | 12 years ago | on: Avow-CI Is No More

I know what you mean, but this isn't quite the same as the Home Depot version. Do you really think he didn't bring any of the paid for thought about CI to the open source version?
