I think maybe one of you is thinking the level 2 charger is a fast charger while the other is thinking of the level 3 DC fast charge stations.

Isn't Kafka your shared database in this case?

You can now do this from the Chrome Developer Tools, go to Application Tab > Clear Storage, and there is a checkbox for clearing the WebSQL databases.

If you know who is going I believe you can create a Google Calendar event, add a hangout to it, and invite whoever you want to it.

Re: Deploying WebP via Accept Content Negotiation

dobes_vandermeer — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:51:30 -0000

There's an alternative approach using map that we are using, put this outside the server:


map $http_accept $webp_suffix {
  default   "";
  "~*webp"  ".webp";
}

And inside the appropriate location you can use:


location /images {
    add_header Vary Accept;
    try_files $uri$webp_suffix $uri =404; # Never send to proxy
}

Ilya, the article still only shows adding "Vary: Accept" if the webp version is sent, you should move that outside of the conditional.

I think it's nice they tried something different rather than just T-Shirts or something. And from a practical perspective, women actually do want something different from men, don't they? There are differences between the genders, wherever those differences came from. So it's thoughtful to try and give them something they actually want rather than something they shoulda wanted if they weren't gender programmed. Or something...

They do have two-factor authentication at PayPal, actually, you just have to set it up.

Supposedly the hacker was posing as a PayPal employee, not a customer, so they weren't giving the info to a customer. Who knows what he said to get it ... he may have impersonated someone specific at PayPal that would have authority.

Maybe not, but if you tell yourself that you are going places in life, or that you are lucky, you can become more lucky and make more money.

Didn't you hear about the study that showed that even if you KNOW its a placebo it still works?

Re: An Impostor Among Us: Shipping my First Game

Although she didn't say so straight out, the author of the post, seemed to me to have some interest in a cure at some time :-).

I don't think having someone (you, in this case) follow you around and tell you that you don't belong because you are a fraud and an impostor will really help you with anything. It'll probably affect not just your career but your relationships and health as well.

The idea that someone can be motivated to do something by choice rather than out of a sense of inadequacy can feel strange, but people do it. I do it. It works great once you get the hang of it.

Seems curable, but with inner work rather than outer. Zen, Landmark Education, Hoffman Process, Therapy, Hypnotherapy are all worth doing.

I think Justin was being sarcastic ... not admitting it.

Re: Anatomy of a Subtle JSON Vulnerability

It's meant to be invalid, so you have to fetch it as a string, strip out the "d" :, and then parse it. This prevents the data from being loaded as a script tag.

Re: IndieGames.com - The Weblog How can I make my games more inclusive?

dobes_vandermeer — Sun, 19 May 2013 00:43:26 -0000

I think the best takeaway here more get be to be aware of who you are excluding and including. If you don't exclude anyone the game is watered down. But if you accidentally exclude some group (women, say) due to a lack of awareness of what pushes them away then you could miss out on some big audiences. It's probably nicer divide along the lines of skills and interests than gender or sexual preferences when possible. For example a zombie game for casual zombie movie fans for mobile is a fine niche that excludes me completely. But if you accidentally offend some racial group with some stereotype then that's probably a mistake.

It seems like comment processing is disabled, or doesn't work across multiple lines. .. I was hoping to use comments like {# ... #} to avoid unnecessary whitespace/newlines in the output.
