That is cool! It definitely wasn't codefund, but it's so great to see more people create an alternative network that is privacy and user experience focused. The main focus of this ad server was that it was selling impressions more

I work in this area currently, it's super competitive, but very lucrative if you can find your niche, so I wish you good luck! I'm sure you've looked into it before, bu https://www.carbonads.net/ is a good st

Honestly I think right now DAPPS are probably where the low hanging fruit is for niche ideas. Lots of activity in the crypto and smart contract space.

It's software development. It's true that the scope is flexible, but it's not to a point that I think I'm doing an uneven amount of work compared to what I'm being paid, and if the additional features are too big t

On the flip side, most projects I work on on the side are now are bid based vs hourly based. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but now I've really come to like it. I know what I'll get paid, and the client knows what they'

Serious question, how would that be any different than a SSN?

I agree, I tried going the route of having a separate server to do my dev on, and it's a pain if anything with your network changes, and when you're not at home and connected over a VPN, then you're in a worse position than y

Maybe for older kids that are involved in extracurricular activities, but for younger kids that won't be the case. With a 4 year old starting pre-k this fall, I'll be lucky to have a distraction free work environment from 9-2 dai

I can't stress this enough, losing weight should be on the top of my list, but there are so many other stressors in life that it makes it a low priority for me. Though I do realize the fact that if I got my weight under control, other

I agree wholeheartedly, the only downside I would see is that volume cannot be controlled through the iPhone app if you're controlling the volume through the TV. When I have a bluetooth speaker paired to apple TV, i'm able to con

I agree, swap bootstrap for tailwind, but i think that's a personal preference at that point. Golang/html templating is extremely powerful. Echo has become by go-to router, and Gorm is magic when it comes to dealing with mysql,

For Go, there is no industry standard yet, but I've been using Echo for years now and love it. I also use Gorm for handling dealing with MySQL, both have made development in Go extremely productive for me. From what I've heard fr

If I wasn't using a Macbook, I'd be running an XPS (any size) with Elementary OS. I was running that briefly between Macbooks and loved it, but unfortunately a few weeks after purchasing it the company I work for switched VPN&#x2

I've been developing Go web applications for the past 7+ years, some services getting billions of hits a day, and still have more than a handful running on various platforms currently. In the past few days, I've been playing aroun

Yesterday after using Sequel Pro for years, I decided to give TablePlus a try and have been pleasantly surprised. Sequel Pro seems a bit snappier is some instances like when you run a few dozen (or thousand) queries from the editor, but Tab

I created https://projectconnect.us a few nights ago as a central location for small businesses that are still open in our area to promote that they are so. The service allows for businesses in other locations as well. It had a

+1 for HLS. HLS is an important aspect in saving money while using the CDN's. They allow for different streaming rates, and the player can download the video in chunks vs the entire video which saves money on bandwidth costs. Encodin

This is so cool! I've been writing ad software for the greater part of the decade, and my dream has always been to write my own small app to serve ads like how you are describing, but I'd be afraid that nobody would find value in

Very cool! How did you find your initial user base? Was it through attribution on the images being shared, or did you do any advertising?

Good job on getting your first project out there, there is a lot to be improved upon here. First off, it's standard practice to listen for PORT over the environment variable. You can always set a default, I often do, but it should abl

The article isn't talking about Notepad which SublimeText3 would be a good alternative to, but WordPad which is more of a WYSIWYG editor.

I don't think you're targeting the right people here, everything you listed is free, and the majority of the readers on this site can get that set up on their own.

Sorry for doubting you. I saw some pictures posted on Reddit if the Burbank store, it’s a lot more barren than I remember it being, so I don’t doubt that they’re cutting costs by not turning all the lights on.

by dougbarrett 7y ago
Right, I find that hard to believe. I worked in the Oxnard location for a short time in 2007 and that has never been my experience. They'll dim the lights well after store closing, but it's never been dark enough that I felt lik
