>who exactly is going to be paying for internet if it doesn't deliver what they want? Everyone? The problem is choice. Last-mile internet connectivity in the US is a natural monopoly, just like electricity (more so; at least there i

what does it break from 7.2? I love how every php upgrades requires me to find mysqli-type crap that breaks all my customers' code.

They were historically horrible at running Linux, no cooperation over peripheral specs and hence no driver support. No wonder they failed :) Just got a Lenovo 12" for $179 (and I overpaid) that is an awesome Lubuntu machine.

We did a port of AutoCAD to the 3B2 in... 1987? By that time, Sun 3s(?) were our development platform, so it was relatively easy. But it was quite the dog. But hey, real UNIX , whatever that was!

I _think_ TL;DR Domain.com, unless this is common with other registrars? Is this a common problem in .io?

Did the domain expire, or was there some other issue? I just transferred some .com domains to Google from Name.com, I hope these expiry problems are limited to non- .com TLDs...

This sounds terrific, thanks for the tip!

Then they should kill the business units that are expensive to run, not jack up prices on the profitable services.

You only pay $30 for 12/3 service?? I pay $75 to AT&T for 12/.75 up in Marin county. Comcast will give me much faster service for just a little more $$, but they haven't connected the building yet, so AT&T is my only

I probably have a 30k folder myself, and Roundcube still seems snappy. I generally like it, but for some reason wish there were other things to try. Mailpile is a stand-alone server and thus is more complex to install and run (or at least t

My point is that you _always_ have to convert path names to strings to display them to users, but you don't always know how because you don't always know the (sometimes implied) encoding.

Sounds a lot like my life a couple of years ago (and intermittently since). I don't get the bug reports any more because I think customer service has learned that file name problems can be fixed by renaming the files . Not fun for the

They're not strings nor texts right up until the point you need to display them to users.

Check out Flask-User. It's a lot like the user auth in Django. Developer still around.

This is an interesting phenomenon in general.

Nice! Might be helpful to label the harmonics in the sliders. Excellent post!

Yes, it's notoriously difficult to find who actually makes the hardware for these devices! let alone who writes the firmware. Many cameras are much too hard to reverse engineer in order to run your own firmware. Fwiw, I recall that

Passive speakers are becoming more and more of a niche (compared to various categories of powered speakers, mainly Bluetooth [and Echo]). But it's still a very real market. As a younger generation starts buying homes, the passive speak

Not sure why people are so upset with Mailchimp when they are simply reacting to what the blacklist operators do, which is their whole value proposition. They don't want to send content that triggers blacklists, whether that content

I like to say (and it's not original) that security and convenience are two endpoints of one continuum. You can't get more of one without moving away from the other. There are a few rare near-freebies, but they always have a gotch

31 micro-watt-hours. Wow. Analog clocks don't have much to do, but I'm glad we still use them.

Someone needs to pull rank and take over or start an investigation outside of the CFPB. They clearly aren’t doing their job, and now it has become stupid to simply ask them to start doing it.

First met JPB in '87. I'm realizing I'm too sad to share any of the many stories. But it also makes me realize how much of an Internet warrior we've all lost, and that we need to keep up the hope and the fight. Donate t

Roundcube seems to own it. Not that many Foss clients to choose from, and RC seems most robust. The only feature I've ever longed for is a simple way to include a non-reply email in another email message. There's probably a plugin

If you’re storing from multiple sensors with multiple write processess, you will have concurrency problems if they’re in the same db with SQLite. I’m not referring to manipulating or even querying the data after it’s stored. I just don’t se

I don't see how any of those apply for a two-column 'db' of timestamp and data.

Simpler than a log file? What's the significant advantage of SQLite vs just appending to a file?

If it isn't a single blockchain, then you'll probably have the same problem.

If the protocol is open, why do you need to use a certain coin to use it? Isn't that just the definition of another type of 'closed'?
