IIRC domains names read from the right and the first dot is omitted. It's actually com. example.com. subdomain.example.com.

This is the exact reason why we recently changed our price structure. Now the price of a resource increases with the size of the plan. Now discounts won't hurt so much.

Thanks for your feedback. Five years ago we switched from a software that you install yourself on your own server to a Saas offering. The reason for this was that customers didn't want to update their software and if they wanted to do

Five years ago I've created an update policy that defines how long after the purchase you receive the latest version for free. That was five years too late for this specific customer, but that customer already paid for updates since th

Yes, I did that and they accepted without comment. Interestingly enough, the total invoice that included some programming work was four figures. The update fee on the other hand was only $99.

Five years ago I specifically added the clause that updates are free within twelve months after purchase. So the customer is kind of right to be surprised if he bought the software before that time. On the other and, that exact same custome

Joel Spolsky - I especially like the essays about how to treat programmers right.

The question is why would you want to clutter your brain with all those details. If you need an information that you've read about in the past, you already have a head start and know there was something written about that and where to

I wouldn't worry too much about it. In my opinion a bug bounty program is another marketing tool of big companies. They have to portray an image of a company that cares about security. From my experience if you are a small company and

I have a domain where the extension is the last two letters of my last name, like mill.er. It also gives me a pretty cool mail address, e.g. nick@mill.er.

I use Keepass and haven't found any fault with it. It came as a recommendation in a blog a couple of years ago.

For me it's not the question of whether they're doing it. Its technically feasible, so it's being done. What interests me more is whether the broad user base cares enough to change their habits. Does it become freaky enough f

I treat personal projects like therapy. Doing something for me, trying something new makes me feel good. Even if I just have a working prototype I have the sense that I've accomplished something. It doesn't matter much if nobody s

Any AV software is better than having none but that's not the point of the article. It specifically recommends Microsoft's AV and to stay clear of all the others. I'm sure it's hard on all the AV vendors out there but wi

I go once over the language reference in order to learn what it is capable of but don't bother remembering details. That's what search engines are for.

If you're able and have the time to run your own service, that's great for you. Everybody else will have to rent the service and have to pay recurring bills. That's kind of the point of renting something. I can't quite s
