For a moment I thought this was about https://csszengarden.com/pages/about/ (A long time ago) it was an amazing source to learn CSS, and get design inspiration.

So can someone ELI5 how bad this is? From what I'm reading this should only affect systems that use a compromised DNS server or in a MitM attack scenario. Which is serious but not so easily exploitable (I think).

Disclaimer: I have a layman's understanding (at best) of astrophysics. Couldn't this be explained by an orbiting planet colliding with another body and breaking apart? Couldn't this satisfy the number of "comets" re

Could you please elaborate on how you created the mirror? I have almost the same setup (Arch, Linode, nginx) and although my VPS has been rock solid so far, I would like to have something like this for testing purposes.

It's a nice presentation but are the videos available somewhere?

Not necessarily, for example your "Learn python in 10 minutes" post appears as a PR0 page, thus it won't outrank your competitors. Keep in mind that this could be just a temporal glitch and might get fixed automatically if/after your page i

Hmm that's quite longer from my past experience, but not unheard of. What troubles me is that your pages haven't disappeared completely from Google's index, e.g. if you enter "site:korokithakis.net" there are 302 results returned. Perhaps G

Hi Stavro, how long has it been since you made the changes? I've seen a couple of times similar behavior where a site disappeared from google's results for a couple of days, after some content and theme changes but everything was back to no

What about data persistence? Is it still enforced only through replication? I really liked MongoDB's philosophy but this was the show stopper for me when I was exploring it. At least for some services I need to be certain that if the DB say

Stripe looks promising but based on their FAQ they are available only to US based companies/persons for now, so they are not an option I can consider, at least in the near future.

http://saasy.com claim that they have solved this problem but I haven't yet used them. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

Slightly OT: I've been looking into paypal alternatives but there really wasn't anything available, besides setting up a merchant account, for non-US businesses. Does anyone know of any similar service available internationally?

In the post you replied to I said that google could manipulate the search results to change facebook's pagerank, not dropping them entirely. Just so that results from the domain appear on the second or third page.

Seriously. Tweaking your search algorithms to the detriment of some providers and to the benefit of others is one thing (that Google does now, and which they won't be sued for). Deliberately removing a direct competitor with as high a prof

I wonder what would happen if google dropped facebook from their search results in retaliation. At least for tech-savvy users it won't pose a problem, but for the rest it will cause major problems (e.g. the RWW article). Will it be legal th

If you find this concept interesting there is a related short story by Jorge Luis Borges called "The Library of Babel" written in 1941. You can read it here: http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/library_of_babel.htm... It doesn't deal

On the job boards page you were linking to startup.ly which is a parked domain. I've edited it to link to startuply.com, I hope this is the one you meant.

What about hybrids like Silverstripe? Has anyone used it (or something similar) for large-ish projects? Although personally I use mostly CakePHP, I began playing with it lately and it seems to me that it has a lot of potential. Basic CMS fu
