git commit -v gives you the diffs provided you don't also use -m. Personally, I find -m to be a dangerous flag for commit for exactly the reasons you described not mention its hard to really do detailed multi-line commit messages with -m.

They did. It was in the article.

... dotCloud the startup pivoted to focus on Docker and changed its name to Docker as well. Then, in August 2014, Docker sold dotCloud to cloudControl.

Both Applied Cryptography and the Handbook of Applied Cryptography are great resources, although they're a little dated now. ... Step one is to read Cryptography Engineering. This is not optional. Read it. It is a fantastic book that details how to use cryptographic primitives.

It seems kinda superfluous to mention Applied Crypto when the real reco is to read Cryptography Engineering. I'd almost wonder if it would be better to direct people away from Applied Crypto...

Personally, I found Applied Cryptography to be so-so at best. Practical Cryptography was a breath of fresh air in comparison.

I see he's excluding the 100 most popular addresses. Is there any justification for that?

Probably because most of the top 100 are things like SatoshiDICE.

I don't think you need to issue your Google login credentials to _use_ the extension, only to install it. Further, if you're on a computer where you don't feel comfortable using your Google login, why would you feel comfortable using ssh (via this extension) on the same said computer?

Mac OS X Lion and Mac OS X Lion Server are now supported as guest operating systems. Mac OS X Lion can be installed by dragging the Lion installer icon to the virtual machine wizard.

Nice! So, how exactly does one do this? The Lion Installer seems to be gone from my system since I upgraded to Lion...

Interesting that in the demo video he used in-browser Gmail vs. using Thunderbird.

I realize its nitpicky, but figured for a demo like this Mozilla would use the opportunity to showcase all their offerings in the workflow.

Interesting. I've been using ddg for several months now, and haven't quite experienced my search results as being "less relevant" or "harder to find things" in comparison to Google or Yahoo!.

Ironically, I do use the ddg bang (!) operators quite often. ...like !gm or !gi if I know I want a map or image (for example)

Is it a sign when all the prices and ordering info for their products has vanished off the site? or is this SOP when a company is acquired?

A few recruiters and HR departments, that I've seen, do value technical certifications. Depends on the job.

Personally, I'm not a firm believer in valuing technical certifications as worthless. Overly valued by some, sure, but not worthless.
