Wow, I didn't realize the little article I wrote for Lifehacker would have such a big impact on this project. Also didn't realize he had passed on the project to Cloudflare. They're a great team so I'm happy it's in

Censorship comes in many forms. Governmental censorship? Bad. Self-censorship of a platform such as Twitter, good, and necessary.

I agree this could be the case. I would love for there to be a 'better way' for everyone to consume RSS feeds, just haven't seen them yet.

Which analytics software uses this? We primarily use Google Analytics, the user agent from the web server log file isn't getting passed back to them.

Having struggled with RSS in the past, I will give a few reasons of why I ended up removing RSS from my blog: 1. RSS traffic trickled down to almost nothing. Hardly anyone uses RSS any more as a daily reader^1. 2. Spammers were using my RSS

This seems interesting, but without knowing what a course looks like, I won't sink $84 into it. If the creator(s) are reading, I would suggest making the first chapter free. That would work better to get visitors to sign up & pay.

This has been coming for a while. We attempted to create a push-based notification system based on MQTT. It worked well, then the notifications started getting lost. Turns out, the receiver service was getting killed in the background. We f

Had the opposite reaction. Went in not knowing, then when I saw Tarkin and Leia I was kind of thinking, wtf? They digitally rendered their faces? When I talked to friends afterwards they didn't notice it. This must be pushing some sort

I'm curious too, since the max resolution appears to be 220x220 on a 2GB GPU in my testing. If that is a linear relationship, it seems like it would be ~ 1080x1080 for a 12GB GPU.

Oh wow, the TI-99/4A, I learned BASIC on this computer! If you didn't have the tape storage unit, which could save data onto an audio cassette, you had to re-type your program into the computer if the power went out or unit was re

I see the primary 'Advisor' to Wallarm is the primary author of Naxsi, so perhaps this is a commercialization of the Naxsi firewall product.

What I can tell you is that you are not alone. The startup/coding world, and even just the world in general can be very stressful. Many of us have gone through similar things as you. It is important to figure out yourself first, and mo

All VPS systems suffer from the "noisy neighbor" problem. You may have been on a DigitalOcean system with a lot of neighbors with other high i/o activity, and on Linode you could have been on a server with no neighbors. The o

I used the Bitcoin client on my phone, after the transaction went through I clicked "Confirm transaction" and it has already accepted it. I'm guessing with smaller transactions they just assume it went through, otherwise they

Just ordered a mini-helicopter on Overstock using Bitcoins. The checkout process was flawless. I used the Bitcoin client on my phone to send the amount by snapping a shot of the QR code on the website. Went right through, hit confirm, and t

- The SSDs are a main selling point - Their website is easy to use and clear - Access via a simple API I've used them for some side projects - although they aren't feature-full for bigger ones, they are great to use.

The "Get notified for Android" link just takes me to the iTunes download page. Would like to sign up for when it comes to Android. :)

What about the possibility that end-users' computers are breached? - User/pass is saved in the 'Remembered password' area of browser (this is decodable by malware) - Email is screen-scraped by malware - Email is sniffed during login at a wi

I just purchased it, and it appears to be downloading now. Note that I had pre-applied for a reduced price offer since I had just purchased a new Windows 7 PC. The URL I used was through here: https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-US/MyOr

Another reason to use DDG - they don't "bubble" you with their search results, and have a strict privacy policy. See: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy.html I have them set to my search engine and I would say about 90% of my searches hit pro

Why not just 18... why not 48 or 128 or 1024? Questions like this are always loaded. First of all: - This assumes the end user is familiar with command line usage. The typical consumer of VPSes aren't, in my experience, and rely on somethin

All of those are clouds, not really meant as an always-on home in the cloud (or at least an expensive option). I'll assume you are looking for low-budget since you mentioned "Academic project." What you are looking for is probably a VPS (ca

I think this should be a call to arms to network, web and system admins everywhere. This is a problem that everyone knows about but nobody wants to do anything about since it requires additional setup. Usually the barrier is a technical iss

This is a good list to get started. I write for MakeUseOf - generally to submit your app there, use submit@makeuseof.com or if you want to send a direct message to me, dave@makeuseof.com. Your app must at least be in open beta, and must be

As the others have noted, no lyrics have been coming up for me. But on the flip side, it does pick up my 'currently listening' song from last.fm very fast. I use Spotify, it must publish currently listening pretty quickly. I think its only
