Huh? The key point here is I don't think Google should block any website without providing some warning an an opportunity to fix the issue before imposing an immediate punishment. What if google.com search engine linked to a badware we

Yes, when the accused is a threat to society or a flight risk. Our website is neither.

This is a very scary situation. It means Google could block your website, not for something bad on your website, but for something bad on another website that you just happen to link to. That's beyond your control! Imagine this happeni

I hesitated to include it: didn't want HN to mess with our analytics and free hosting limits (or our review at the mercy of Google). What the hell, here it is: https://www.chess.ca/

DETAILS: On July 3, our website was blocked the 1st time. This was justified (although I disagree with the immediate punishment): it was an old Drupal 7 site that was installed in 2011 and, because of budget constraints, rarely received se

Has happened to me too more than once. I usually reply that the UI prototype is like a Hollywood movie set: what looks like a real building is fake, just a single wall. The real building still needs to be built. That explanation sometime

My father was in the RCAF and was in the running to fly the Arrow if it was built (he did see prototypes). IIRC, he said the Americans wanted the designs destroyed because they feared the Canadians were not secure enough and so it might be

About 10 years ago I knew a guy who had to turn down an amazing opportunity at another company because one of his kids had a pre-existing condition. This boggled the minds of us non-Americans where healthcare is not linked to your employer

I've seen this more than once. Senior management thinks maintaining a portfolio of software applications is like flipping hamburgers: they see no problem or risks in one team of developers handing the spatula to another team. What, w

If instead the salesman took you and a car that included an engine out on a test track, would you not buy the car because the test track was fake? You are not buying the test track so you shouldnt care. You are not buying htmx's demo b

Would have had the same problem if the rewrite was called 2.0 instead of htmx. Hmmm, reminds me of the Angular 1 vs 2+ conumdrum (for which many said renaming would've been better).

Good monoliths are highly modularized. But it's a whole different thing to package up a module as a separately deployable unit for external "public" use (external to your app, that is, not your company). I'm just curiou

Not just governments. I worked at a F100 company that had a special type of internal funding called SQP for spending on (mostly) IT people-hours on projects. Year after year, the biz would penny-pinch on their SQP to the point that we str

I thought Window tax was what you have to pay on every PC you buy that you would then scrub and install Linux.

I do something similar except the passwords in my gdoc are secured with https://securemypw.appspot.com/ (disclaimer: I wrote this 5 years ago so I could share passwords with my wife).

Our local grocery had that in the 1960s. As a toddler, I was fascinated by the mini-railway consisting of noisy steel rollers. It ran inside along the front wall behind the check-outs, did a u-turn thru a small hole, then outside along the
