That's an excellent point! Every author needs to know they're not posting into a void.

When I got one of these after getting rid of my TV back in 2003 or so, I used the link they provide to state that you have no TV (or maybe you had to call back then, I don't remember). The letters started again after three months so I

That's a nifty idea! I need the extra Flask for some other unrelated stuff, so it's OK as it is, but if it was on GH pages (like you say) that would be super useful.

That's pretty cool! I ported my own WP blog to a static site generator (my own but with a format inspired by Hugo) a while back and hacked together a script with wpparser and some custom code to spit out markdown (it was a while back b

Wow, I thought mine was old! But it's only 19 years this year :-)

I use Newsblur and if there's nothing obvious, I try pasting the blog URL in there -- I believe it checks for alternate meta tags, and perhaps its own database?

Another very happy Newsblur user here, again since the demise of Google Reader. No complaints at all, it does one job and it does it impeccably.

Heh. We have some of those Harry Potter style "floating" candles hanging above our dining table right now. I uploaded a photo that included them prominently -- it gave a great description of everything else in the room but ignored

I came here to say the same. Running our own front page through it gave a summary that I might use for some simplification and rewriting.

I'd love to know more about what you mean by that -- is it that the North East of England (which this factory is certainly in, it being in County Durham) is not the same as the North East of the UK (which I guess would be Aberdeen)? O

That sounds great, but with the "pricing" link on your site going to a "contact us" form, it's hard to be convinced of that :-(

Closer to $42k, i think, at least if you're comparing it to the Tinybox price -- the price in pounds on the site includes VAT, which you wouldn't pay as a business or if you were getting it for export outside the UK, whereas you&#

For me, the OP's use of the word "child" to describe a 19-year-old seems to bolster your point. If a parent automatically uses that word (rather than the more age-neutral "son" or something similar) it makes me thin

Perhaps I misunderstood, but what makes you think that only SquareSpace supports .dev? I have one with Gandi, and it looks like Namecheap support them too. Haven't checked other registrars but I'd be surprised if they weren'

Oh, thank goodness. I initially misread that as "rule 34" and my mind was truly boggled.

Expat here -- yes, that's a real problem. There are even well-located commercial buildings in central Lisbon that are decaying while things like that are sorted out. I honestly don't know why they don't do short-term (as in,

I've been running my ML stack on Arch for the last six months and haven't had any issues so far. So perhaps not a big issue on a more stable distro like Ubuntu.

Absolutely. The framing around this is mostly about "when is the next one", but given the unlikely combination of errors and circumstances that led to this one being discovered, why would we think that it's the first time? I

True, that can be a useful solution. But you have to be careful; when I was running a UK-based company we had to get lawyers to carefully draft the contract so that it fulfilled the requirements to be truly B2B and not be something that wou

I got the impression at the time that stuxnet was Israel (albeit likely with US involvement). Has it been shown to be the US for sure? Or are there still competing theories?

Also worth noting that while there are "Employer of Record" and "Professional Employer Organisation" businesses who essentially have branches with payroll etc all set up in a bunch of countries, and can hire people there
