I prefer the subscription model, as long as the total expected cost is not too far out of line for the service. $5/mo for every tiny utility is too much. However, before the rise of subscriptions developers still needed income. What

I live in an area where cable/fiber is not an option, and have been using T-Mobile Home Internet for a while now. People in other locations will surely have different experiences, but for me it just works okay and the signal is poor.

I live in a semi-rural area and work from home in tech. I am within range of LTE towers, but only T-Mo will serve my area and the connection remains spotty even with a $1000 signal booster. It is frustrating to see initiatives like this th

I live in a semi-rural area and with no cable/fiber/dsl options available. In my experience, most home internet offerings from the big mobile carriers will throttle you fairly quickly if your usage goes to a few hundred GB (easy t

Same here, we just deployed a test instance running the upgraded code. No issues in our existing dashboards so far, and our initial testers are liking the speed improvements a lot.

One common exploit if only one user account is hacked is to set up a forward to a specific high cost number that receives a lot of traffic. There are carriers who aggregate these routes and even blend them in with legitimate routes and the

Make sure you understand the basics of the new domain extremely well. You don't need to know everything in depth, but every piece you do know needs to fit together in your mind. Ask questions until you think you understand, then have

Short codes are managed per country, but within the US just about every true mobile operator should have the ability to work with the same US short code. If they don't support a given code, it is because they choose not to. Part of t

In general, it's a bad idea to wear gloves when working with spinning tools. If the glove snags the wrong way, it can pull your whole hand into the tool.

Today after fighting with Kibana all morning, I decided to tweak our scripts to build Grafana dashboards against our existing ElasticSearch data store. Very fast to get up and running and the the features and speed are amazing. Very glad I

The second half of this is particularly important. Apple keeps iOS desirable to an enormous number of end users who are willing to spend money on apps. They benefit from this by selling a lot of iPhones, but the developers benefit as well b

Sichuanese Cuisine is very good. La Bu La in Bellevue is also good. Dough Zone is worth trying if you like DTF, but not as good imo.

I use Slack in my own company, but often use Skype with companies that I do contract work for. Searching your conversation history in Skype is terrible. Slack really does this well.

I think you may want to consider focusing more on concrete goals, and what funding will provide to backers. For example, see https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tomchristie/django-rest... which is widely used Pyt

It was the same with my family when growing up in Hawaii. Based on the responses in this thread, it seems to be more prevalent in areas with Cantonese populations.

If you're looking to make espresso drinks, going too cheap will be an exercise in frustration. Cheaper machines have limitations you need to work around and make it harder to get consistent results. Most people just getting started w

I'm curious which products you would recommend for bug tracking. If they have testcase management, even better. I run a managed hosting company that hosts a fair number of Atlassian instances. We have our complaints about Atlassian a

For people whose main complaint is watery coffee, but are not opposed to pod systems in general, try Nespresso. I find them a lot better than the coffee I have had from Keurig and Starbucks machines. The coffee is pretty good -- better tha

This is probably not what either of you meant, but until 2005, it was illegal to import sichuan peppercorns. This resulted in a lot of dishes missing a fairly important taste, even in otherwise authentic Sichuan restaurants. http:/&#

If I came across the code in the original post, I would be confused as to what the Or operator applied to. With a regexp, the parenthesis make this clear. I would also assume that Exactly(1).Of(".") was meant to match a literal &

To those wondering if this is worth it, the method of using a trie-style regexp to optimize this type of word matching has been used in the Perl community for a while now and it does work well. Starting with v5.10, if Perl encounters a rege
