You're damn right. The other day, I was using the Twitter web interface, and I realised I'd accidentally clicked the "Like" button on a tweet as I was going back to the previous page. Oh no, I haven't liked a bad

I love Just, but I love it because it's not a build system — I already have a build system, I just need a standard "entry point" to all my projects so each command a user could use to interact with the actual build system

It's a bit of a weird one! I think the most famous example of the term comes from Richard Feynman, in his essay "Cargo Cult Science" ( http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm ): > I

I've been using fish at home and bash at work for almost a decade now, and it's been fine — and because I'm at a fish shell on my own computer far more often than I'm at a bash shell on a work server, I'm willing to

Something I found surprising is that a change to the GitHub codebase will be run in canary, get deployed to production, and then merged. I would have expected the PR to be merged first before it gets served to the public, so even if you h

All I'm saying is that lookup.dog was originally going to contain a Shaun of the Dead GIF and nothing else, in the same vein as butt.holdings or cheese.singles. The DNS part came later.

Yeah, it didn't occur to me to not capitalise them, but I've seen many people stumble over this. I'll change it for the next version.

I actually agree: the thing that library has that dog doesn't is that it's been battle-tested. For example, I've already had to fix a case where it was mis-parsing TXT records because I missed part of the relevant RFC!

Ah! My bad, I've simply forgotten to update the README. I'll do it later once I'm done with work.

This is my thinking too. I could add the option if there's enough interest, but aren't there already dedicated tools to do this? As an example: I sometimes run 'curl ifconfig.me' to get my public IP from the command-line

I didn't think that feature fit. Would people really use a general DNS client for this? I use nslookup.

It does not — it didn't make the cut for v0.1, but I've raised an issue (#4) so I don't forget about it.

While I was reading this post, I felt the same way as I read the HN comments on the Mozilla layoffs two months ago: misplaced blame . I admit I have a soft spot for Mozilla, having used Firefox since Firebird. I really want them to succeed

I disagree, and I'm a little bit insulted. I'm pretty much in Gemini's exact target market : my websites are simple and almost entirely text, with no tracking, minimal JavaScript, and a hefty CSP. I like implementing simple

I feel like that phrase was extremely accurate... before the buggy OSes, awful keyboards, and hordes of security prompts. If you're starting to use Apple devices in 2020 I can see why you'd think that phrase is infuriating, but
