What do people use for server side analytics? I've seen recommendations for Matomo, Countly and Fathom, but those are all JS based.

I was only answering to the assertion that tab-width of 8 is "inexplicable".

https://github.com/chinedufn/percy/ already has a virtualdom implementation and a procedural macro for JSX like HTML.

And for strings.

To me, the + operator for merging lists seems very intuitive.

Thanks, TIL. But 8 was common, right? At least from online sources I was under the impression that typewriter tabstops were the reason for the 8 character default.

To give an example of how things get better in the real world: Let's Encrypt won't issue a certificate if your DNSSEC records are invalid.

To be fair, they also explicitly point out in their docs that encryption on their end is pointless (since they have the keys) and that you should encrypt your e-mails on the client side with something like PGP (where you control the keys).

Correction: Actually the Swiss Post does HSTS-preload their e-voting system. Geneva doesn't.

Using insecure browsers on insecure unpatched devices for trusted secure state-level voting is a bad idea to begin with. If they decide to go ahead with this approach, they should at least try to harden their system as much as they can ag

It isn't sustainable for Patreon's investors. It could be sustainable for Patreon itself. The 5% cut sounds like a reasonable amount of money to build and run a company.

There's https://liberapay.com/ . Not sure how well it works though.

People forgot what "sustainable business model" even means. It does not mean "infinite growth and 10 VC funds that want you to crap over your product to make even more money". Sustainable business model means that you ca

See - messengers use push notifications to let you know about messages from humans. Most users of messengers get (understandably) upset if they don't receive notifications for incoming messages. Note that you can always block notificat

Not just long-running background processes (e.g. gemerating a backup of your app). It may even prevent your push notification handler from running.

by dbrgn 8y ago
If the app is killed that doesn't just delay notifications. It prevents them until you manually open the app again.

by dbrgn 8y ago
The irony: Many manufacturers factory-whitelist apps like WhatsApp, Skype, sometimes Telegram. That means that smaller messengers get killed (=no more new message notifications) and users complain to the developer because "with WhatsAp
