Oops, this made me realize that my sites don't support IPv6. Or they didn't until just now -- luckily DigitalOcean makes it pretty easy. EDIT: Or maybe I spoke too soon. My site includes direct links to nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com

I hope they add support for installing Homebrew itself with Cakebrew soon -- that's the one caveat I see that makes me hesitate to recommend this to newbies. If the goal is to avoid the terminal, having to use the terminal in the insta

You break the rules; you suffer the consequences. He incited a riot; he lost his platform. Banning him doesn't fix our country, sure, but social media platforms enforcing a basic standard of conduct seems like a positive to me.

The problem is that there are always going to be a ton of apps that aren't in the repos. The repos contain the top hundred apps that have a million user each, but they don't contain the top million apps that have a hundred users e

Speaking of politics, that's often why Wikidata is not linked to Wikipedia. Most of the smaller language Wikipedias are eager to use Wikidata, as it provides data on a scale they couldn't achieve on their own. But the biggest Wiki

I liked the speculation in this piece. It was well marked as such and just seemed to be "here are the umpteen possibilities that come to mind" from an expert perspective. I don't know enough about backbone networking to specu

You don't have to be a tech genius to comprehend that putting a microphone in your house comes with privacy concerns. Your parents aren't idiots; they just have different priorities than you. Side note: If a houseguest came over a

They can't make something retroactively illegal, but piracy is already illegal. They'd just be retroactively making it harder to get away with. Much like how we've used forensic evidence to put people in jail years later, eve

Yes, but they're just thin wrappers around iOS' WebView; they don't use the Gecko or Blink engines. Apple doesn't allow other browser engines on the App Store.

I'm so relieved to hear all the redundancy and testing in place. I had heard that the touchscreens were built in Chromium/JS and was rather alarmed. Don't get me wrong – I do a lot of web stuff and I love that environment, bu

Why wouldn't people have their language set correctly? Usually your browser language defaults to your system language, and presumably when you bought your computer, you selected your preferred language during the initial setup. If you

I think you could reasonably go a step further and require that there be at least one character before and after the at sign. And you could probably ban ASCII control characters from appearing anywhere in the address. Depending on your need
