I distrust Cloudflare so much. I have been trying to get my RSS reader on their Verified Bots list for years, but their application form appears to go nowhere.

This is interesting. But I’ve never once even noticed a police officer touching my car’s tail lights when I have been stopped. I am wondering if I was just oblivious or if it does not happen everywhere. I am in Massachusetts, if that is rel

I am sure there are rewrites that were necessary or beneficial. But I think it’s fair to say that usually they are a mistake. And a lot of “bad code” comes from starting to write clean code and then coming across a variety of assumptions th

I encourage you to try Unread and see if you still feel that way. NetNewsWire is a fantastic app, but the two apps are very different. Unread is also a free app. Premium features are available with a subscription.

Thank you for trying Unread. I am considering an option to use system standard fonts. Unread respects night mode, and lets you set one theme for light mode and another for dark mode. I do not have plans for a Mac default theme. The handling

I am seeing 404s for YouTube’s RSS feeds. I hope this is a temporary bug.

I do squash merges but keep the feature branches. So after determining that I made a change as part of a big pull request, I can then look at the commit/blame history for the pull request source branch if necessary.

I wish I did. My approach is that I have a ruby script that runs every five minutes and does a bunch of tests. The script takes a couple minutes to execute. It connects to servers via SSH to check things out, does end-to-end-tests, then it

Great article. While it mentions monitoring, it took me a long time to appreciate how beneficial it is to do monitoring really well. Things like: • Knowing when disk space, inode usage, or memory usage get high, long before it’s an emergenc

Ballot boxes that scan ballots are auditable because they keep the paper ballots. In my state, election workers have to ensure that the number of ballots is the same as the number recorded by the ballot box on election night - although we d

If you aren’t already doing this: keep customer support email out of your personal/business email. I access customer support email via Fastmail’s web interface. I check it several times a day, but only from my computer (not my phone) a

I mostly nodded as I was reading your advice. I particularly appreciate that you recommend including full article content in feeds, not changing entry IDs, and adding discovery `link` elements to HTML pages.

I develop Unread ( https://www.goldenhillsoftware.com/unread/ ). I have some complex logic to find a hero image that is sometimes in a feed entry outside the HTML, and prepend it to the top of the article -- but only if

I am not sure I agree with this for complex webapps. But I do see many brochure websites and news websites that incorporate megabytes of JavaScript and CSS to display text — and I wonder why all that client-side code is necessary.

Most also only ever go through a small number of real estate transactions in a lifetime. If it’s your first or second purchase or sale, the agent is worth it. On your third or fourth maybe not — but how many buy more than two or three prope

You're absolutely right. The guidelines I outlined don't work well if retrieving the CSS requires a subsequent DNS lookup. One could argue that serving CSS from the host that serves the HTML is a good idea, but there are other tra
