Sure, the words you exchange are now known to the other party. But a native app can upload anything it wants anywhere. Not just the images you processed but anything it can access on your computer.

I typed "upscale" and got nothing. Is there any good AI based image upscaling software online?

Because of the sandboxing browsers provide. The barrier to install native software should be very, very high. It is like having unprotected sex with someone. There needs to be a high level of trust and a long term commitment. Using a websit

Except for speed, PHP has another awesome thing going for it: Statelessness. You throw some PHP files on a server and have a working web application. As soon as you change a PHP file, the change is in effect on next reload of the page. Yo

It seems to indicate a 30% performance boost? That would be a step into the right direction. 6 more 30% improvements and it is on par with PHP.

A 3x faster Python would make it about 2x slower than PHP. That is way easier to digest than the current ~5x performance penalty for using it. I would probably not consider PHP anymore if Python was 50% of its speed. I would never consider

Python itself has to become faster. For the love of god. Make it as fast as PHP. My biggest pain point in computer science is that for every project I have to decide to either cope with PHP's butt-ugly namespace system or with Python&#

These days, for a new Web2 type startup, I would use SQLite. Because it requires no setup and has been used to scale typcial Web2 applications to millions in revenue on a single cheap VM. Another option worth taking a look at is to use no D

It looks like you use PayPal for the payments. How do you do all the tax reporting / payments one has to deal with when selling internationally? As far as I know, you have to collect the country of every customer and if they are an ind

12 Inch is a bit small. 13 would be great. Maybe the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet would work. Does anybody know if the keyboard works while disconnected? So one can put the tablet on a stand and still use the keyboard?

This is a misunderstaning. A Thinkpad does not let me take off the keyboard. That's why I want a tablet and a keyboard. So I can put the tablet on a stand and the keyboard in front of it.

Fold or not, what I want for a laptop is: A tablet with a matte screen. That can run Linux. So I can put it on a stand and a keyboard in front of it. That would be the ultimate travel setup! Working in cafes without having to look down all

"only" You will not get your visitors to buy Bitcoin and set up a lighnign wallet to visit your website. But having some JS on your site that crunches numbers for 2 seconds before the user can progress would work.

I have not seen any arguments yet, why Satoshi is not Adam. I did say "crypto currency, that is suitable for mining in the browser" for exactly this reason: That Bitcoin is not well suited for it. One would have to look at what ty

Crypto currency mining could be the solution. If one request to the site generates more revenue than it costs in resources, the bot problem is solved. The author says that he is getting 15 bot requests to his site per second. That is about

Because of the indirection and complexity it causes. The user is in a shell. The simplest way to add something to their system is a shellscript. No moving parts. You get what you see in the script. The way the project is set up, there are m

This should be a small, easy to read bash script. Not a plethora of rust files that compile to a binary. I would never trust this thing to not cause more issues, unless it is so small and elegant, that I can audit it very easily and be ve

you don't even have DKIM set up, so as of right now there's literally no way for a recipient server to tell your email apart from a spammer impersonating you. Coudln't they do that via SPF?

Aren't domains a dime a dozen? If I was afraid about my-main-domain.com (Not sure yet if I am) - I could just send from my-main-domain-mails.com, right? I get the feeling this "UUUhhh! Black magic! Don't DIY with mails!"

Why would Google need to base their spam detection on IP alone? If they see low "mark as spam" ratios for my mails, why would they care if they come through the same IP as spam from compromised wordpress instances?

Why not just send them via the mail servers of my domain registrar / hoster, just like I did with the "Thanks for signup up" mails?

So far, I used the rawest approach possible, by sending tens of thousands of mails via PHP's internal mail function. When I send one to mail-tester.com, I get 9/10. Seems pretty good? I don't see why Google should care for te

Mailchimp seems crazy expensive. For 30k contacts, they want $300/month. Jesus! I'm not selling anything. I will just let people know from time to time about my latest ideas, experiments and new cool stuff I'm working on. Als
