Hi Disqus,

There's another bunch of us "tweeners" born in the overlap of Baby Boomers and Gen X (early to mid sixties).

I, personally, strongly identify with your description of Gen AD, but I'm 2 or 3 standard deviations off my cohort's mean along most technological vectors. :-)

Re: Simplest web server with one line of Ruby

Here's a python one-liner for the same thing:

`python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888`

You can substitute any non-privileged port number for 8888, therefore allowing multiple instances (i.e. one for your app and one for a jasmine test runner).

Also *much* easier to remember, and uses a standard library module.

Another possibility: "I LOVE YOU" was a job name.

Notice how one of the DDOS commands has "HELLOOOO" at the end.

The DDOS without a second "parameter" also has "50000" where HELLOOOO has "500000", which could mean it's a status report of "10% done".

Or whatever.

Yes, it is.

The probabilities are additive, whether queried in parallel or sequentially.

Ten queries with a 1/100 chance of taking more than a second means 1/10 chance that one of them will.

It's called the Ternary Operator, and quite a few languages implement it.

Because of its effect on readability, I recommend against using it in all but the most trivial situations, such as toggling a value or adjusting a string to handle singular vs plural.

An earlier rant of mine regarding it: http://codelahoma.com/post/...

You've been to Kentucky, I believe. That's where the Cincinnati airport is. :-)

Re: IE9 Regex Bug - JavaScript - Code Snippet Collection

Use a double dollar sign in the replacement string. IE9 appears to be setting $0 to be the matched string.

I'm sorry, this post was about Firefox Greasemonkey scripts, not Tumblr themes (and the scripts are out of date).

Follower information is not available for themes, because only you are allowed to see it, and only when you're logged in.

The "Part-timing your passion" link is a repeat of the Gala Darling link.

Please fix, because I really, really, want to read it.

*sigh*

I knew I had to be missing something. You did too, though. The Get Value of
Variable action also needs to ignore input.

While not as serious, I still think this is a design flaw. See my edit at the top of the article for an explanation.

Thanks, Dan

Doh! Bash has the very thing I was complaining about Automator lacking―a null command:

Hands down the keystroke winner, plus it's a built-in, so there's no process forking overhead. I'll definitely be using it when I create the Do Nothing action.

Also a good one. Run Shell Command's default is cat, so in this case it's a tie on keystrokes.

It's always nice to hear that a post was helpful to someone. Let me
know if you run into any problems with it.

@Mustafa,

You seem to have the method they've described inverted.

You don't have to slog through anyone's friends list, you just have to check the six people Facebook is asking you to choose amongst.

Also, the security engineer presents it as a solution to the problem of captchas being useless against human hackers, so automated hijacking is already off the table.

The link-baiters may not be all that sophisticated yet.

I've yet to receive another hyphenated-french like since I disable note display on my permalink pages.

I've emailed a response, since it's unique to your theme.

Generally speaking, you can just add another hash keyed with username,
within the each loop check for URL the same way you check for name, and walk
the DOM to get to the link and change it.

Also, I'm a longtime follower of Drawn! and love to think I've contributed
to it in my own way.

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Have you got am example I could look at?

Excellent point.

I was under the impression that Tumblr only allowed alpha-numeric characters in usernames, but it didn't take long to disprove that.

Correcting it in both the post and American Drink's theme.

Thanks.

Before this turns into a flame war, I'd like to point out that a little googling will reveal that in the special case of "none of us", both singular and plural forms are acceptable.

RE: words have meanings

Hardly a week goes by without my wanting to say this to somebody.

It's a pathology of large enterprises to name things with disregard for any meaning already attached to a word, and I think it's related to the compulsion of some (most?) people to use "corporate speak" in all forms of communication within said enterprises.
