Well, I'd say, what's keeping you/us? Go!

Depth, certainly. Breadth, not necessarily (though I don't want to have much illusions regarding breadth). It could very well be that this information was gleaned from when the dutch hacked Cozy Bear. If that's the same group. ht

As it is phrased your comment is not helpful. Besides the huge generalization (how is hacker news fake news?), you barely provide any arguments for your points. Can you elaborate on how this post is 'fake news'? (I'm not goin

Could you elaborate on that last part? I don't understand how for loops would be more maintainable and less error prone. They have more moving parts and therefore more room for error. Isn't the value proposition of the aforementio

Slightly offtopic but I went to your homepage to check it out. Immediately loved how it looked, but found it hard to find out what products are actually on offer until I went to the separate product pages. In the first two screens of the ho

There used to be the Trackback system that would allow someone to write blog post and "ping" the blog post they wrote the response to. I am not sure what happened to that system.

I don't think that would be your logical next step as it doesn't logically follow from the earlier steps. My post started with "Say that you are interested in investigating puzzling phenomena, and you have the money.". S

Say these were aliens with an antigravity drive. They may be scientists who do not want to disturb the phenomena they are observing. They might have a Starfleet like noninterventionist philosophy. Perhaps the objects are unmanned probes aki

I am quite skeptical of this having to do anything with aliens, but the "they wouldn't need to hide angle" confounds me. It acts like the only motivation in an interspecies relationship would be minimizing vulnerability. The

Say that you are interested in investigating puzzling phenomena, and you have the money. What more logical step is there than to approach your senate majority leader friend? Such oddball connections are probably the only the way such a prog

When I first read the program or its funding had ended, I, like you, also concluded that this was an indication that the Pentagon saw no reason to take it further. But then I jumped into the deep end: who knows the program('s funding)

There is certainly a German place also doing this which the article mentions but Drachten is a Dutch city :)

"Before you know it any speech even mildly critical of immigration is silenced and you get the situation going on in Europe." This seems... odd. I don't think right now there's any (western) European country where this o

Think and feel all you want on our "limits to free speech" (which vary widely per country). But please don't water down the definition of fascism for your own rhetorical ends. Fascism does not equate to "any infringment

An an European, I'm kind of offended you're stretching the definition of fascism to also include "anything that suppresses free speech". Can you please not water down the definition of a term linked to the killing of mi

Why not both? Half of my country (NL) exists due to smart protection against water and we're doing pretty good. Doesn't mean global warming isn't an important consideration. If someone has a broken bone, you want to fix that

This comment does not really add much of anything. Besides that, Laravel uses Bcrypt for hashing. Not sure where Laravel developers use MD5.

I have the same thing with system monitors. So many processes for which I have no idea if they're legit.

Is that true though? To me, the difference between a simple spreadsheet and say, a floppy bird, is that the spreadsheet requires one to know about rows and columns, and basic math (sum, average). It's a pretty simple abstraction that m

NP :). There are many ways to not deny reality and still be polite! One of them is reserving outrage or judgement until one is sure it is actually warranted. (not referring to you specifically with that one)

Or to go entirely minimalistic: only provide a boolean "device might die within 10 minutes" value or something.

Everything you said could have been said in a polite, or even educational way, without sacrificing its importance. Usually we use "but this is wrong!" or "this really needs to be said and I am passionate about it" as an

I also like Vue.js and am surprised it's not getting mentioned much. But it's nice for starting out, in my opinion, since you can pretty much decide if you go all-in. It's quite possible to just use it to sprinkle some JS her

But getting started is simpler with PHP, also. The framework you'll use (Laravel, Symfony) and is associated coding paradigms will probably be a different one than 4 years back (Codeigniter, CakePHP, w/e), but apart from that comp

Isn't the technology of Instapaper separate from Instapaper as a product, though, to some extent? (at least the parser bit. I get that the information about reading habits is inseparable from a running Instapaper service)

I've got two questions: - Has there been any consulting with Marco about this acquisition? It being his brainchild. - The blog post mentions some concrete ways on how your Instapaper mad skills can/will be used to make Pinterest m
