I think this currently exists in some shape or other, I don’t have a facebook account but I can click on profiles of businesses and get their opening hours and pictures of their menus or whatever. In think there must be some stuff with a pu

Is anyone using Ghost and unhappy with it or moving away from it? I recently set up a blog (a pretty private, small scale travel diary to share with close family as I don't use social media) and did some research before I chose somethi

I realise it is separate to the weak key prime discovery, but it is interesting how much slow SSH login times are a thread that is worth pulling for one reason or another.

Yesterday a friend remarked to me she had lost a recipe for something or other and I resolved to start recording some I use, I was thinking of something like MD/Obsidian but this looks really good. Great to have the iOS app, an easily

This is way off the mark. It was never obvious what sort of deal would be done between Europe & the UK govt. from the point of the referendum until quite on late on there was discussion of varying degrees of access to the common market

In many ways a much more expensive way to solve the problem, but since I switched to the same keyboard (and I leave my laptop shut) I have been glad of the Apple Watch unlocking.

Putting aside how good the actual predictions are, I really enjoyed how this was written. It explained things in a manner that I could understand, and I don't have meteorological knowledge beyond what I could glean off a weather forec

Hugely reccomend The Phone CoOp[1]. I pay ~£33 a month for 80/20. It's properly unlimited, and I pay an extra £0.60 a month for a static IP. Been really stable for me for a long time, and I have been using them for years for mob

Just to quickly add, I think the project is cool, it provokes interesting discussion and it doesn't need to be legally watertight or achieve what they say they set out to, to be worthwhile.

This makes more sense to me than actually the app melting down under load which was implied from some reporting. Then if the Iowa DNC (or whoever) didn't staff up the phones to the usual levels as expecting most results to come through

Am I right in thinking the app is used by one person per precinct as well? I'm surprised they hadn't tested even at this scale, we're not talking hundreds of thousands of events a second here, surely. It's hard to imag
