For the non-riders, ATGATT means "All The Gear, All The Time". I wince whenever I see some young kid and his girlfriend riding with t-shirt, short pants, and sandals. Human erasers on donor cycles :(

The Dickey Amendment[0] frightened the CDC from doing just that. Lobbied for by the NRA and added to a spending bill by a Republican congressman. "Although the Dickey Amendment did not explicitly ban it, for about two decades the CDC a

My method is super simple but does require a wee bit of self discipline. I "HALT!". I even have "HALT!" written on a post-it on my monitor. Whenever I notice that my (valuable) attention is wandering, I yell "HAL

Made https://securemypw.appspot.com so I could securely share passwords with my wife (for bank, investment, biller accounts) in case something happened to me. URLs are saved in a Google doc we both have access to. Now I use it f

Agreed! Framework == good doesn't mean any/all frameworks == good. Many of PHP's frameworks seem to have ignored PHP's unique run-time characteristics and adopted Java idioms (with Java, you pay once at compile time; wit

Agree. Shame it wasn't adopted by more websites. It shutdown just before we launched a new SaaS that used it for auth.

Lol. I did and it was one of the best things I ever did. But I did it after university. Rode all over north america on it, me and my tent Ƈ:)

Or use a worse DNS resolver. Your ISP may be trying to cash in on DNS names that don't resolve / ain't found by instead sending you to another website that pays the ISP a small fee.

Yes of course the components are usually not the entire page; don't take the terms too literally. I'm still searching for the best name for these modes ("sprinkled" isn't quite right either). Although "full b

Let me take a stab at explaining how AlpineJS is different. First, let me talk about the two "modes" of front-end frameworks, what I'll call: "FPC" and "Sprinkled": FPC or Full Page Components: the origina

The website being announced in this post, alpinejs.dev, is new for V3 of AlpineJS which was launched just yesterday. I've been using it since V1 and I can say it doesn't just look like but really is a perfect balance for project

Yup. The earth's crust is less than 1% of the earths radius. Just below the crust is all the energy we would ever need for a long long time.

At a previous job I was at, we put each release of the sprocs into a different schema. Upgraded app servers called sprocs in schema "r102" while the not-yet-upgraded app servers continued to call sprocs in schema "r101"

IMHO, the biggest RTFM-Fail ever is related to ASCII. Think of all the errors made and time lost fixing issues with CSV (comma separated value) or TSV (tab separated files) or pipe-delimited fields in records, etc, etc due to having to hand

FYI, the IBM S/360 did support ASCII[0]. A bit in the program status word indicated if the machine was running in ASCII or EBCDIC mode. Most customers ran EBCDIC because it was more compatible with their masses of punch card originat

Apologies. Launched just 2 days ago as a static site on Netlify. Will add a JAMstack-based form once our api backend server is up and running. Google Forms was a quick and dirty solution that let us deploy something now. Fossil on HN is rar

Many ways to do it, but another subdomain was easiest. The two websites are on different hosts. There is still a lot of info on the old website. When we decided to go with an "emergency" rewrite of our website, instead of trying t

UPDATE: For anyone else running into this problem. Of course, Google never clearly stated this reason, I (and you) have to guess until you get it right. Each guess takes more and more time. My last (and successful) attempt, I had to wait 16

Ya got me thinking. Maybe they failed my review because they expected both www.chess.ca and old.chess.ca to be entirely cleaned-up (both being *.chess.ca). I'm so desperate to get unblocked that I have deleted the DNS entry for old.che
