Also, whoever closed the plugin section, could you at least discuss things with others before making decisions next time?

Ackkkk, I fight so much not to have merge commits in the git history, and then I make a giant one >:[ Stupid git client, and stupid me for not checking.

I've recreated the regressions milestone (This time I didn't call it "1.9 regressions" to avoid confusion). It's for stuff that used to work but no longer work. Please do not combine it with the "1.9 features" milestone.

I don't want to see the Lua API docs for some time now. I had to go through everything manually and fix up any failed conversion. Basically the entire docs doubled in size.

I think my bank is retarded. Seriously.

They used to send the monthly account statements (the list of transactions) via email, unencrypted. After I have bugged them over and over again, that sending financial details over a public channel in the cleartext is probably the stupidest thing a bank could ever do, they finally implemented sending the statements "encrypted". So now I get a passworded PDF file, that has an attachment (wtf? did you know PDFs could have attachments in them? I didn't) which is an HTML file containing the transaction list. Why do it simple, when you can jump through hoops? I suppose I should be glad that it isn't "one attachment file per transaction" Tongue

Interesting problem with multi cores and cache sizes

Recently I forgot my password for Trackmania, so I requested a reset. What I got in return was my original password in plain text which of course means they don't store the password as a hash. It's not as extreme as a bank, but it did make me think about how things can go wrong with their security when their database gets breached.

New GitHub changes: https://github.com/blog/2256-a-whole-new...d-features

Would any of these apply to our org? I think we should enforce 2FA at least, do any of the other changes sound good?
