When you say over one year of work, do you mean one year of manpower (aka ~2000 hours) or that you started it about a year ago?

Nice. What is your tech stack to serve it?

I never used Rust. Looking at the code, I see a "Cargo.toml" file that reminds me of composer.json and package.json in that it seems to contain dependencies. Where are these pulled from? Is this the same game as with other depende

I am a big time traveler. When AirBnB appeared on the scene, it was a life changing event for me. So much better then hotels. Since then, AirBnB have not added anything that benefits me. But booking.com have catched up massively. To the poi

What does this line mean: /kenburns/promo.mp4 | GET | 175574 | 33.4183748571803 That the video was watched 175574 times? That would indeed be a lot!

Fine. Let Facebook be an order of magnitude more popular then my website. I would still be happy to have 240 million monthly users who pay me 10 cent. Why would I care that FB has 2.4 Billion monthly users and squeezes more then 10cent out

The throughoutput is only one of the problems. There are more: 1: You need to download and install software to use current cryptocurrencies. And users hate that. 2: Turning Fiat into Bitcoin and vica versa is not easy. 3: It is less private

It's crazy, that we still do not have something like "Cash" on the internet. A simple, anonymous way to pay 10 cent or so. To use a website or read an article. That would make the world so much better for indie developers. Cu

The video is 180 MB. So 500 GB are about 2800 full video downloads.

I still like to bind $ to querySelector and $$ to querySelectorAll: $ = document.querySelector .bind(document); $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

Don't know about Ubuntu because I use Debian. docker.io calls their Debian images "official" and says they are maintained by two Debian developers.

That sounds dangerous: All images available on this server are generated using community supported, upstream LXC image templates And: Note that the images found on this image server are unofficial images. Whenever

That would be awesome. But will there be a trustworthy distro? And will it be able to run all those apps that these days you need to use all kind of services?

Why not a $100 android phone? I have been using those for years and years now and never had an urge to get something else.

Aren't those images provided by Ubuntu and Debian? Then it would not be under the control of Docker which versions are provided. docker.io provides Debian 10 as far as I can tell.

How do you create an image for LXC? With docker, they have the docker.io service with all types of distros you can chose from.

Isn't texting usually used in 2-factor-authentification? What was the other factor? I thought the whole idea behind 2-factor-auth is that two somewhat secure authentification methods combined make a stronger one.

Wow, "UC Browser for Android" has 3.5% market share and does not support javascript modules.

Looks like the camera is their main selling proposition. For me, the camera is the reason why I do not consider buying an iPhone. Because it sticks out on the back. I don't know .. for me it's impossible to imagine using a phone t

1: But does the syntax really collide? I would think that this: $a=[ 'doubler' => $x => $x*2 ] clearly should create an array with an elemnt that is a function and has the key 'doubler'. Where is the probl

I stumbled across him mentioning arrow functions comming to PHP. Looks like this is the syntax: fn($x) => $x * 3 Strange that they went with fn() and not with the simpler approach established in Javascript: $x => $x * 3

One thing I don't understand about Let's Encrypt: Why do the certificates expire after 90 days? What would be the downside of giving them a longer expiration time?

Weep? Docker's downfall? What happened? As far as I can tell, everybody and his grandmother is using Docker. Why should we weep about it?

As I understand it, they do not block the tracking scripts. What they do is that they do not accept their cookies. This does not change anything for me: 1) I do not keep cookies around anyhow 2) I use umatrix to not run known evil scripts

I am not using the in-feed ads, but the responsive ads. No matter which ads - I think it is not acceptable that they alter the surrounding page. They also don't state that on the page you linked. What they talk about there is about the
