It doesn’t sound like they are talking about boosting the power output from access points, so I guess this is, WLOG, the same question as asking “what are the health implications of wi-fi?” I don’t mean to imply that the answer is ‘none,’ b

I use `dnsmasq` and configured it to return `NXDOMAIN` for a giant list of ad domains I found. It doesn’t have feature-parity with this, but the software was readily available for my platform, which was nice.

I mostly agree with you. But I also think there are non-scammy advantages to using in-app feedback. The primary one is that it could allow for better communication between an unsatisfied user and the app developer. Developers could funnel f

Same here. Though I use extensions like ClickToFlash, which prevent plugin loading by default, but allow me to selectively activate plugins in the DOM by clicking on them.

I think it's important when you're trying to advertise your product. If there is a marginal cost for each set of eyeballs you can attract, then you'll probably want to start with the richest set of eyeballs.

Now this I can agree with. It's basically impossible to truly compare the two platforms' all-around profitability. The 'right' answer for any particular enterprise is to do proper research and decide whether Android or i

According to some, the Google Play store is now grossing more money than Apple’s App Store. But on a per-downloader basis, it looks like the average iOS user is way more likely to spend money on any particular app than an Android user. So i

But what if you want to make money by selling your app to people? Is the idea to test/iterate your app quickly on Android before bringing the finished product to iOS for revenue? Most sources I find online show a big discrepancy betwee

Just FWIW, it is not in the dative case. The dative case is only for indirect objects (which follow pronouns), or direct objects specifically related to the act of giving. Trusting is not giving, and there is no prepositional phrase in this

I also was frustrated with how poorly the handbook explained ports/packages. But now that I understand how they work, I feel like it’s an elegant system that works well. I just wish it didn’t take so much trial and error to figure it o

I’ve started running a local instance of dnsmasq that returns NXDOMAIN for a giant list of ad servers. For anything not in the list, it tosses the request up to the real DNS server. I’ve found it to be a simple and effective way to block lo

It looks to me like boilerplate that allows you to more easily interface between the python world and the vim world. So instead of putting a bunch of python in your ~/.vimrc , you would install this plugin, and then put your relevant
