Registry can set prices for individual domains as well (see what Donut is doing). This means that a new domain could be priced $1, and renewal of WordPress.org set to $50, and npr.org to $50 million. What are you gonna do? Change your domai

This is the case for all new gTLDs. .pro to .xyz to . accountant, the registry can put any price, be it zero or a million dollars.

That lawyer sounds like a douchebag. I super agree with your point too: I'm also slowly moving all my emails to my personal domain and it feels liberating.

I can only imagine about.me mass-creating profiles for names found on other web pages, and opening a way for someone to "claim" those profile with a matching Google account sign-in. About.me's business model was quite unsettl

Wow these are some hot tips! YMMV, and cloud providers would hate you for this, but you can automate the IP rotation with a cloud providers that bills you by the hour. It's easier than ever nowadays to spin an instance in Frankfurt, us

I signed up for an API key to see what they have on me, and the data it returned looks awfully close to what I have on linked in.

I really would like to see how Linus would react to a PR with commit messages like this.

I know I don't. It's one thing to sprinkle some fun here and there, but I have seen many projects (JS mostly) with so many unicorn emojis everywhere, and a huge logo in it's GitHub readme. It's not that the library name

I like the Google analytics integration. I wish other providers would add this feature too. Are there any open source tools that you can use to parse a log and perhaps batch-submit to Google analytics?

Initial registration is $185K, and there is a fair amount of back and forth documentation requirements with ICANN, and if someone else requests the same TLD, there will be a bidding as well.

Younger ones tend to be more expensive. I think there are more strict laws against "owning" younger elephants as they need to grow up with their mother. Most people tend to get younger elephants because of the life span. They will

My friends family owns a family of elephants. I grew up in Sri Lanka, and apart from the lack of coconuts in a house disqualifies it as a house, owning an elephant signaled how prestigious the house was. Even nowadays, there are still famil

I find it quite impressive that everyone raised their voices, although ICANN and PIR seem to turn a blind eye to them. For a registry, their main costs are nameserver costs and ICANN licensing fees (~$25K for gTLDs, not sure for classic TLD

I'm about to complete my decade as a full-time freelancer. I'm not 100% happy about my own web site, so I wouldn't link it here. However, some pointers: - Have a blog. This is a common advice you have probably seen many times

This is a shameless self-plug. I have written a few WP plugins because it is not as secure I wanted it to be: - WordPress does not come with proper password hashing, and uses the phpass library. https://wordpress.org/plugins

WordPress does not support PHP autoloading, and every plugin's main PHP file is included and run on every page load. If you have a 100 plugins, that is WordPress core files + at least 100 files to run. You will likely run into function

Speaking of names, my full name has 6 parts, and I share 4 of them with my brother. We never use the first three, and I stead, use 4th and 6th names to make the full name that satisfies the falsehoods. In the web sites I work on, I have dec

I don't, but I had a member in one of our online communities that insisted on using Medium. Compared to self-hosted solutions, a medium blog had a professional look from the get-go. This was the major reason why said team member wanted

Airbnb already asks you to keep the conversation inside its own messaging system. A phone call is a smart way for the scammer to make the victim provide instant confirmation and not have the communication recorded at Airbnb.

Hiking and cycling communities tend to be quite friendly. I cycled Europe quite a lot, and have met many similar minded people. Long distance hikes are a good way to meet cool people too. Europe is full of them, and the longer hikes mean y

Crafting an SVG by hand is fun, but it can easily get out of hand, after which a svg minification tool can do wonders. I'm working on a small side-project ( https://visalogy.com ) that the entire site is using less than 20KB
