Could have sworn Ketamine was classified as a dissociative. Maybe I was wrong.


You're not wrong - it's a terrible clickbait headline.


"Explicit" option is only option


Yes, it makes the passphrases a lot more memorable. But when there's guaranteed to be at least one taboo word in a passphrase (and it looks like 2+ is likely even with only four words), I think it's reducing the search space too much.


While I understand why folks voted this down, but it made me laugh. :) I never thought about the NSFW filter, but I believe domains that fit my full name were taken when I registered the domain.

When I was a little kid, my last name was a problem because of the times I grew up in, but nowadays it only leads to hilarity. Plus it's short and easy to spell. ;)


As other folks have mentioned, the issue is that many people looking to hire just look at your GitHub page and your repo list.


As someone you hires too, I do that, but also look at the website if there is any.


I didn't mean to devalue the challenge of implementing and testing a new feature. All I'm saying is that it wouldn't require much problem solving. It'd just be a sorted list, perhaps with the ability to reorder and resize items with some JavaScript. The GitHub devs are obviously skilled coders, and have many JavaScript ninjas among them.


Personally, I am under the same impression as yours. Adding a custom order functionality should not be that difficult, even with all these types of repos (forks, private, org, etc). I would benefit from such a feature, as would my colleagues. But maybe there's a deeply nested technical debt that prevents them from doing that atm.

I was just bringing up the similarity between your apparent devaluation of the challenges a new feature brings, with my project manager's ability of adding "sure, done by tomorrow" features during demos :D

Thanks!


Solidarity with all developers planning to protest


This is one of the few clones/memes that gets better as it is propagated.


Their ironic last tweet before shutting down: https://twitter.com/flexcoin/status/438355933777756160


If they really were hacked, this was the catalyst for it happening.

PSA: Don't peacock.


Yep, this was pretty much a dare to hackers everywhere.


That's harsh. =/

Another bit of irony... http://i.imgur.com/KurgdXp.png

But seriously, sorry to those who lost coins here. Also sorry to the folks of flexcoin, the timing couldn't be worse. Can't say it enough; cold-wallets and private key that's exclusively in your possession.

Only you can prevent forest f- er...bitcoin thefts.


As a 2013 Ford Fiesta SE owner, I can attest to the poor quality of Microsoft's SYNC system. I was so frustrated that I even wrote a blog post about it some time ago. I would have even more negative commentary now.

Ford electronics were a good part of the reason I'm a 2013 VW GTI owner.
