As icebraining says, there is no reason for the 2 to be mutually exclusive.

by da_n 13y ago
I would mind less if there was more universal consistency, for example in France you have lemonde.fr, in Germany you have spiegel.de, in the UK you have independent.co.uk, Japan is japantimes.co.jp.

.us is great, I too am surprised at how little I see it in use. Aside form the more restrictive application process, I think it partly stems from the fact .us came after .com and also initially a lot of users had confusion about TLDs (the t

This is awesome work, well done to the Bootstrap team.

As an aside, I find it very interesting that the BBC website is so selective about which articles they allow (moderated) comments on, for example here is an article with a comment form http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-eu

Thanks for responding, it is good to hear you recognised there were some mistakes and it has changed how you will do things going forward. I appreciate that you needed to explore revenue models and believe you when you say no malice was int

Have you tried Fastmail?

by da_n 13y ago
Digital Ocean, Fastmail, Feedbin, Lastpass, Pinboard, Pushover. Those last 2 were one-off payments. I also subscribe to Netflix and Audible, not sure they count as SaaS.

VPNs aren't just used for anonymizing, connecting to public/untrusted WiFi for example.

This is highly opinionated and somewhat condescending, not everyone who doesn't want to join Europe is some right-wing, Daily Mail reader type.

I signed up for Fastmail enhanced, really like it so far, only things I don't like are the read only LDAP contacts and the security settings. Specifically on the security settings, I want to see support for a limited alternative lo

I have never really liked the Firefox logo much. I guess this is a decent compromise given what they've got, and looking at an example of what a completely flat Firefox logo would look like it just doesn't quite work, think this i

I always feel like browser inconsistencies are a bit like print, every print shop seems to have different requirements about colours, gutter, trim, quiet areas etc so even in the real world consistency is not guaranteed. I find if you use s

Yeah, although I don't normally like to go all tin-foil-hat on things it does seem like a possibility given his very public and well articulated criticisms of PRISM. I get the feeling things are moving into a "shut the thought-lea

Correct, there is no trial period and it is a bit harsh, but I already decided I wanted to pay for RSS this time around and something about feedbin appealed. Only thing I would like to see it stats, and I suspect Digg Reader will be good at

by da_n 13y ago
I signed-up to feedbin last week and I like a lot so far, same focus on simplicity (basically it is Twitter bootstrap UI and a few important settings/options). Digg Reader is one of the few others I have considered, look forward to see

You obviously have not used modern Android, or are ignorant of Android's own innovations and design language. See here where iOS7 "borrows" a lot of stock Android features and design language. https://securecdn.dis

I have a lot of respect for Steve Gibson but I wouldn't take this as anything but his opinion. All he is doing essentially is re-iterating what LastPass themselves claim about their security, so you can only trust this as much as LastP

I agree it shouldn't, this is why I call it a stopgap measure. Beyond the fact we both dislike extra markup I do find this solution cleaner than picturefill however, at least there are no extra divs inside the markup itself just a data attr

I'm a huge fan of Zurb and their work on Foundation, this looks like a good stopgap implementation. I just hope it isn't long until there is a standard implementation everyone can settle on, we don't want to end-up with http://xkcd.com/927

I'm not sure why, but I always find it irrationally annoying when I see someone using their desktop as a filesystem.

by da_n 13y ago
No I totally get it, if I was doing an app which ultimately would be multi-platform, it would be foolish not to consider going iOS first despite any personal preference. You've done a great job, just wish I could support it.
