Looks like an interesting idea and I can already see the potential to monitize. You linking to Amazon sales pages? :)
comment
Two options come to mind, neither perfect, but options. 1. Use a password pattern. Something like 8 random digits that you memorize and then part of the domain name or business name. Such as "goo…

I'd love to see this guy do the cartoons on the web, free from corporate oversight, and make a shit ton of money telling it how it is.

Looks jumpy then blurry on a Pixel XL in Chrome. Not at all something I would want to embed. I'm guessing it looks better on iPhone and/or desktop.

You'll recall that the first iPhone was exclusive to AT&T so it feels a little like they came through on this promise. Apple might deserve a little of the credit, I suppose.

I still have some 3.5" floppy disks with my BBS and the door's I wrote for it. My parents still use a USB floppy drive (and have several) because they have a sewing machine that uses it. Per…
comment
Looks really nice. Unfortunately, I usually don't want my task list associated with dates. I just want a list of stuff I need to get done (actually, A lot of lists of stuff). Once in a while I&…
comment
It's a good question, since the article also says that the employee is refusing to cooperate on 5th amendment grounds (which is likely smart).
comment
I get that part but my local grocery store sells Amazon gift cards in $10 to $50 denominations. You can buy these with cash just fine and there is no fee that the store charges and there is no tax. A …

I don't see the same result on my own blog (actually a wiki). I've posted hundreds of how-to type topics over the years. I started simply recording instructions for myself that I didn't…

I doubt it's actually active on most domains even though the RFC asks for it to be so. I would even guess that admin@(domain) might be more effective. Just a guess on my part though.

What does everyone think about Homie and how they try to tackle this with a flat fee? https://www.homie.com

Here are the quick steps to do this. Visit github.com Create an account or login Click the green "New repository" button Give your website a name like "hello" Check the box to Init…

I use GitHub. I'm a developer, so maybe this is hard... They let you use their website to create a repo, add a file, and then in the settings specify that master is the source branch for GhPages …
comment
I suspect they just want to focus on their core benefit so that they don't stretch too thin.
comment
I doubt the other languages are "dying off". Javascript isn't the most elegant language but it's certainly getting better with ES6. I've been building a React Native app and t…
comment
It actually says this in the article. They say that gathering a count would actually cause a requirement to un-anonymize some of the data and therefore create a privacy (and possibly constitutional) p…
comment
This sounds like a developer who is merely more proficient in XCode than Android Studio. I find BOTH of them to be much more difficult than I feel like they should be. Many things in each are not intu…
comment
This seems to be the type of employee Google is looking for, in which case, it works great.
comment
I've only spent a few minutes there, having signed up just a moment ago. What jumps out at me about the UX is that source code does not seem to be front and center like it is in Github and Bitbuc…
comment
This is a great reference and, I hope, a great way to make some money being an affiliate. Good job.
comment
"and for other purposes", loved that part.
comment
I'm working on a project where we are recreating a native app using React Native. We've found similar results; about 90% of our code is shared between both platforms. We also build both plat…
comment
Really? No parking fee's? What about in high population area's such as Miami?
comment
I love Laguna Beach and I'd live there in a VW van if I didn't have a Job, two sets of parents, and children; all in Utah. I've got family in Riverside and Laguna is a favorite. Try to …
comment
I agree. I prefer it throttle everything but ask me if a page is important enough. A news site isn't important enough to ask for this but Slack is.
comment
I've used the system, and I like it, but I find that carrying around pend and paper is a burden. Especially when I have my smart phone on me 24/7. I use Wunderlist instead. It has it's …
