I am reading in the airport after leaving Morocco. A couple of days ago I received a weird spam SMS message (coming from an iCloud account) that i’ve never seen before. I didn’t open the messages as I know about Pegasus and my senses starte

It looks like they updated the extension but previously when you searched for a entry you couldn't easily copy the password, I had to get into the entry, edit, show password and copy it manually, flow that looks to be still in the web

I am another long time LastPass user (2010ish) to (paid) Bitwarden convert. Simply better in every possible way. The UX/UI of LastPass is so bad, search and copy a password? Almost impossible.

I am assuming that one of the reasons they won't let users pay to opt out of ads might be because paying users are the most valuable for advertisers. They wouldn't let their most valuable target pool out of the advertiser's

Is this a re-rebranding? I remember using something similar 4-5 years ago (instant.js/instantclick). But quite an interesting little thing, especially useful for older websites to bring some life into them. The effect is very noticeabl

I've been looking to ditch Slack in favor of Basecamp, isn't Campfire enough to replace Slack?

Thanks! It only took me 11 years to get the courage to at least _attempt_ to ship something. And although I am no position to look for investment, as in I don't have access to a VC/investment environment, I can dedicate at least 2

I am working on a similar product, https://www.pagespy.io , that lets you monitor any webpage, albeit not as simple and targeted as f5bot (I really like the name), currently in very closed beta, there's definitely interest f

With the right hardware, installing macOS is easier than installing Windows. I've been using hackintosh on and off for the past 10 years and if you buy tested hardware, installing it is a breeze most of the time, something that I canno

Oh. I could've written the same post, I am just before buying a ticket somewhere. Would love to get in touch, if that's possible.

It depends. I've worked in the e-commerce industry for more than 10 years, not having proper fraud prevention is something that can bankrupt you. If you _know your customers_, it's easy to create a simple system that would at lea

When I work remotely, having someone "work" at the same time as me makes the situation feel less ... lonely, it's like having a co-worker :) See them work, makes me work. Also I enjoy hearing other people code, especially the

Indeed so, I had quite a bit of code written to handle deployment for 2 simple static websites, all got replaced by netlify in under 10 minutes, mind blown.

That's something that I've been trying to find myself, with not that much luck. Jane Street Capital has a nice video presentation though: https://blog.janestreet.com/how-to-build-an-exchange/

This does seem to be very likely, I've spent too much time to count trying to investigate bugs that should not exist only to discover that the issue is of PEBKAC nature.

I remember a few years ago when Chrome actually had a hidden feature flag that let you enable side tabs, not fully tree style, but it was better than nothing. Sadly they removed it.

I am not saying that as an attack to PHP (or a defense of NodeJS), I am writing PHP daily, but when it comes to real-time (at least WS systems), PHP would be my last resort, mostly because it lacks any real support for such things, you&#x27

I discovered the same error/bug a few weeks ago when a co-worker linked "this weird page" to me, I just looked around and thought it's pretty cool too see that part of Google and didn't thought too much of it, close

I assume NodeJS is used just as a WebSocket server for their real-time events, doing that in PHP would be a bit uncomfortable.

Cheaper, definitely self-hosted, but as with everything, you get what you pay for, you'll have to take care of fail-over and backups on your own. Start with a small instance on DO, enable backups (for a small fee DO will create weekly

100-150K here. DO has been very good for us, with some in house auto-scaling, the bill goes as low as $250, uptime has been in the %99.9. 2xLB + frontend servers (from 1 to N) + Postgres (master + multiple read slaves depending on frontned

Same. We just switched to Amazon mostly due to Postgres RDS (and $100k in credits, but that's another story). When Google will get their Postgres game on, we'll switch for sure.
