Didn't read the code of this specific project but if recall correctly, you can change the favicon by setting it in the dom to the base64 representation of the icon data any time. From there, generating animations is just a question of

A lot of tech illiterate users don't even know that there are multiple search engines or that you can change the default one. Being the default is highly critical there.

Well there was this a few weeks ago: http://www.engadget.com/2015/12/30/google-will-strip-oracles... Perhaps it pissed them off?

And let's not forget they own Oculus now. Facebook could be in a much different place in the next ten years depending on how that plays out.

It's more of a to-do list on steroids than a project management tool. I also tried to fit it in my workflow, because I like what they are doing, but ultimately decided it wasn't for me. I think it's okay if it doesn't

It's depressing that internet makes it so easy for a person with a mental disorder to give advice and lure confused teenagers and minors. I wonder if there's anything we can do, short of censoring internet itself.

I'm not saying they are not to blame, just that more work should be done in teaching the end user that they cannot trust everything they are told, much like in real life.

See, I don't get this. Europe is acting as if it had a duty to protect its people from the bad companies that steal your privacy while you sleep, whereas in reality nothing happens if you don't explicitly give consent first. Don&#

Why would an email service know that conpany.com is a scam address of company.com ? If they were spoofing addresses then it may be detected, but if they are using a valid domain with a random letter changed you are out of luck unless you

"Expertise in security processes and stipulations for large transactions and accounting operations" , there you go. If they ask in the interview, say it happened to a colleague sitting next to you and you learned a lot from it.

Substituting "Russia" for "Mordor" is oddly specific if this algorithm issue was caused without direct human input though.

At this point I'm starting to wonder whether this isn't a competitor putting their investors money to work. It's otherwise utterly bizzare that someone would be so obsessive in damaging Linode. I really hope they make the det

It's called experimenting. You can't always get it right without getting it wrong sometimes.

Indeed, we have had redis running in production for four years now and I can't remember a single crash happening. If something goes wrong in our stack redis is the last thing we check. Antirez should write a http web server :-)

Strange article, as if people needed to be "shielded" into their jobs. Also I'd argue that you can be perfectly happy and still resign. Sometimes someone simply comes along and offers more money.

As a Linode customer, I guess this wouldn't have happened with AWS, but the way they handle it is still far better than "your server, your bandwidth, deal with it" that you'd get with e.g. Hetzner dedicated servers. We h

I honestly think this will happen. Products like Chrome or Android just wouldn't have survived as standalone companies, so why is it a good idea now to detach projects?
