The 4-Hour Workweek - made me quit my job and start a business. Since then I've been able to travel internationally for the first time in my life while working as much as I want.

The point is that you’ll be unable to deeply read even the “very little” that’s worth your time. Because we never practice it.

Use this link on mobile. It’s way better: https://i.reddit.com/

Access it from here when you're on your phone: https://i.reddit.com/ I really hope they keep that option alive but the way they're pushing the Reddit mobile app, I'm not counting on it.

Did they email the announcement to you? If you already used Stripe subscriptions in the past, you'll be grandfathered in for free. This is the relevant line: "Since you used Stripe Subscriptions in the past year, the Stripe Billin

Out of 100 visitors, 90 will passively look. 9 will participate (commenting/discussing). 1 will create (post). These are very general numbers of course and really depends on the actual service, but it’s a good rule of thumb to follow.

Hooked it up to my ESP8266 and now my IoT devices are voice activated. Nice!

Ideally, you need to validate your product on whatever channel you intend to use. So if you expect to get signups mainly through your website, you need to test that channel as early as possible. Eventually you'll be getting hundreds (m

I'd set up fail2ban on those machines to automatically block the requests.

Their new mobile version is pretty bad. I use their old mobile site and it's fast to load and easier to use. I hope they don't sunset it... https://i.reddit.com/

ESP32 development boards are also very impressive. And the prices are dropping every month. Can't wait to see that ecosystem evolve.

I use my Raspberry Pi to play around with sensors (such as humidity, temperature, RFID, etc) through the GPIO pins. That's the main selling point, I think. It's an educational product more than anything.

If you're looking to simply keep two DNS providers in sync, you can just set one up as a Secondary DNS. Dyn provides this as a feature and that keeps our DNSMadeEasy and Dyn accounts synchronized without having to think about it.

Ask your customers how they'd feel about a character in the logo, they're a better audience to poll. And if you don't have customers to ask, then that should be your #1 priority instead of worrying about your logo. Github lau

Right, but I was referring to the comment regarding the S3 bucket replication.

Was this setup useful during the S3 outage yesterday? Wanted to double check before I implement it.

I've never used them but I've heard that's what https://launchdarkly.com/ is for.

Make sure you have your DMARC, SPF, DKIM all correctly setup. Then test some emails with this tool: https://www.mail-tester.com/ Go through the issues one by one and you should be all good. I've used Mailgun for years

You're better off delving deeper into learning the actual framework instead of studying a foreign language. Something similar happened with NGINX a few years ago. Almost all documentation was in Russian. But once it grew in popularity

Why are they not disclosing the previous investment? Have they at least told you what their company valuation is?

Probably best to ask those in a forum setting. Such as here: http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm/

Lets Encrypt is probably the best option. But if you can't use it like me (since I need a wildcard certificate), you should be getting 3-year certificates instead of 1 year ones. At least it'll cut down how often you have to updat

It would depend on your learning style. If you're a visual learner I'd get a $15 Udemy course during one of their sales. Looks at the example projects made, the reviews from the students. If any seem interesting then just dive ri

For me, having a cofounder really helped. Having someone there to pick you up when things aren't going as expected was great. Especially when it seems no one else understands/cares what you're doing.

Looking forward to playing around with this. Native master-master replication is the only thing keeping me on MySQL.
