Seems there actually is a fair amount of research pointing to prohibiting corporal punishment for kids leads to better mental health, lower suicide rate, etc. and it does seem like a no-brainer to me that less violence leads to more stable

The comment is a bit misguided: the operations Watsi helps perform would not have been possible without for-profit companies and for-profit innovators building the infrastructure of modern medicine. It's not one or the other: both for-

I'm in Sweden, and we behave the same way. We just don't focus on exactly the same things. The attitude towards sex in general is more relaxed, but when it comes to CSA we would love to impose our views on defining and policing it

It's interesting that we, as humans, are all so neurotic about sex, and especially about allowing our kids to understand that sex exists, that we rush to outlaw any depictions of it that our kids could potentially see. While at the sam

Cool, I didn't see this tool before. I have tried most open source load testing tools out there, as part of writing a couple of review articles on them ( https://grafana.com/blog/2020/03/03/open-sourc

Nope, there is no restriction for plus addresses. I validate email addresses and specifically allow + and . in the part before the @ sign. myemail+1@mydomain.com and myemail+2@mydomain.com will be considered two different users. Have to add

Fun topic! These days I build everything for myself, then publish and see if someone else is interested (mostly not :-) First thing I built, when I started doing full-stack stuff: https://pushdata.io It's a super simple tim

This is a project I've been involved with lately, that I think is very exciting if you're into Flutter or Dart development. We just released version 1.0 so Serverpod is (hopefully) ready for production now!

The Computer wants you to be happy. If you are not happy, you may be used as reactor shielding. The Computer is crazy. The Computer is happy. The Computer will help you become happy. This will drive you crazy.

That's a good observation. I don't currently do any partitioning and I think I have to read up a bit on exactly how Lambda executes Go functions. If they keep the program state between executions there are probably some cleanup I

You can't use <object>, <iframe> etc tags to embed pictures in your Github README, so you don't get automatic updates there no matter what (i.e. images would only refresh on page load). I don't know if Github prox

I write a little about it in the blog post: https://supershields.io/blog/1 TL;DR is that most Lua engines seem to offer pretty weak support for sandboxing, unfortunately. Gopher-lua, that Supershields is using, makes i

There is a supershields Github app that you can install and then give access to one or more private Github repos. Then when you create Github badges on supershields.io you'll get the option to connect them with your private repo. The a

OK, I surrender! Being horribly old and needing glasses to see anything small but never having any glasses around, I find that my phone is pretty much useless for work. I guess I'm an outlier here. I'll just see what I can do to i

If you load http://example.com and the HTML there includes an image tag that says '<img src=" http://othersite.com/image.jpg ">' it means your browser will connect to othersite.com and as

That looks interesting. I'm installing Cairo right now - a bit of a beast though. I'll test it but might try to port the anafanafo functionality anyway. It'd be very nice to just have 100 lines of Go code and a JSON data file

Funny, I've made lots of stuff responsive but at some point decided I had to have a minimum page width of 1050px. Now when I remove that and add your "max-width: 100%" I don't see much of a problem. Sure, some content ge

Hmm, seems they just have a couple of JSON files specifying the widths of different characters in a few standard fonts. I may take a shot at porting the basic functionality to golang.

It involves code editing, which is hard to do on a small screen.

Wow, thanks for that investigation. I'm pretty sure I looked at this at some point, and realized shields.io was using some esoteric NPM package that I would not find (or maybe I actually searched) the equivalent of for Golang, so I had

You can't really use the service on a small screen, but I hear you. I have to provide at least a logged-out view that is mobile friendly.

I'm generally using Visual Studio Code for all my development. Really like it. I chose https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua as the Lua engine because it is Golang-based, while the Nginx Lua VM is C, unless I'm

Yeah, the issue is (disclaimer: I might have missed something vital here) that it is very hard to know exactly how wide text is when rendered inside the SVG. Some characters take less space than others and the safest way to determine the wi
