Oh sweet, looks like GitLab does. Time to migrate.

Is there a way to have HTTPS working on your own domain if you host your content on github pages? Last time I looked it wasn't possible.

Wow really? I have the opposite opinion: easy and safe (for reddit's hive mind / what is currently popular / anti-popular) rise to the top, things people disagree with get downvoted. The effect lessens the further you get fro

So funny you should mention yelp, I just deleted it a week or so ago. I realised I didn't actually use it really much at all, and honestly if I'm out and about (and so am not planning on my computer) I'm perfectly happy to ju

Their name is apparently "scrollytelling", not storytelling. FWIW I misread it as that the first time this issue aired, I only just noticed it this time around.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't help practically with the idea what I don't want to buy a new phone all the time. If I wasn't so wed to Android the right thing to do would be to buy whatever iPhone was new at th

Right, so still pretty bad compared to iOS: iOS10 just came out and supports the iPhone 5, which was released 4 years ago. I presume if they had some massive security issue they'd backport it to versions of iOS older than 10. (I am no

Where do you get that three years of support figure from? The only official numbers I've ever heard was 18 months, which lines up roughly with my experience. I have a N5, which came out (just) less than three years ago, and it is not g

OK, so I use OSX, and I want to play mp3s that I have locally, and see them in a library format that I can search. Even maybe have album art, though I'm not fussed. Ignoring itunes, how do I do it? What is a good fast low memory music

I don't think decentralised P2P is really the answer anyway: the answer is separating the content from the convenience. Facebook killed blogs because when I want to find my friend I just searched for their name, and if I was their frie

Exactly. And then at some point they'll have the "courage" to drop bluetooth as well.

Come on. There are plenty of phones with two speakers and a headphone jack. This is the cry of people who desperately want to love a company unconditionally, even when they screw up.

I think it would be helpful to have a sample chapter. I haven't read an OOP book in awhile, but when I did they often had a lot of examples that while reasonably easy to follow didn't actually translate into real world usage (`Car

It's not particularly true. What they're saying is that Haskel (and Scala, and others) have such good type systems your data should never be wrong. That has nothing to do with logic, and so if your code should be `if (foo)` and yo
