You could try quantifying the number of jobs available for different technologies. Then match up one of your existing skills with a large portion of the market (I would guess PHP + Python would be easiest because the others are either niche

Sure, I usually set org files up by book/talk > chapter/concept > (any further level of nesting)+. Here are a couple examples. From watching "Abstract" on Netflix I did one entry for the show with a bunch of random

Do others do a similar thing but with digital notes? I used to take notes on books in notebooks and mark the page numbers. Over time it switched to ebooks with TextEdit, then org-mode for writing thoughts on books/talks. It's nice

Stripe is probably the best but I think Twilio is a close second. For both the page designs are easy to read, there are clear examples (some are even interactive), and the sites are easy to navigate.

I'd agree. As somebody scraping content, what's so bad about increasing the timeout to like 10 seconds? That way the servers can handle the traffic easily and you're not being a jerk. If you have one async thread for each dom

On the data processing with bash part, Joyent Manta always looked interesting[0]. Reading about data processing via bash makes it sound pretty fun. [0] https://github.com/joyent/manta/blob/master/README.md

There wasn't much to the paper archiving. I bought a fancy scanner[0] and already had a shredder. To store the files on disk I keep directories marked by topic/year/month/day. The topics are stuff like taxes, finances, b

Digital archiving of important physical mail is a nice way to go paperless and keep track of documents. Get a good scanner and shredder, then set up a system to track your scanned documents. No more misplacing files and having to stuff cabi

I really liked this blog post from Leo Polovets for measuring the overall risk of a startup.[0] Maybe in the same vein you could do it for cofounders? De-risk yourself by picking a cofounder that you know well and will be helpful. It's

Hey, just playing devil's advocate here. Some banks come pretty close to what you're asking for. I go to a small, community bank in flyover country that uses Jack Henry as a SAAS for its online services. Most of the things you ask

Oops, you're completely correct. I was thinking of the brute force scenario.

Have you tried rate limiting based on the user account? That should block a distributed attack since each login would count against the rate limit independent of the IP address.

The flexibility of having a computer read the text via text to speech is a huge benefit IMO. My reading speed is painfully slow but with espeak or a screen reader I can parse about 400 wpm. One thing that helped me a lot was doing a keybind

The situation is the same in Minneapolis but so what? I've been a library patron since I was a little kid and spent time there weekly for the last few years. The majority of people at the library are homeless or low income and yes they

> The best product that can be made will never be made with cross-platform tooling. Never is a pretty strong word. Have you tried some of the apps on the site pwa.rocks? Flipboard and AliExpress are non-trivial examples of PWAs that do a

Why not add a11y testing to your company's test suite? Tools already exist for automated testing of things like color contrast and WAI-ARIA elements. If your company supported basic a11y then you would have an argument to use against d

Are you talking about the quotes the article did? I think the contrast issue was a jab at how other websites use illegible colors. (#7F7F8F on white = contrast of 3.9)

If you were going to take a new try at building a system like this, do you think something like Datomic's codeq[1] would be useful? It allows for navigating code semantics across multiple projects using a database query language as the

The Browser Support chart on webcomponents.org shows that they're working on it[1]. I think it's a pretty good way to track web component compatibility (outside of caniuse). [1] https://www.webcomponents.org/

Isn't it interesting how people self-organize by what they identify with? It kind of seems like the food at McDonald's et. al is good enough or has cultural status that makes it hard to compete with. Locol has better tasting food

I don't want this to come off as harsh but it's a huge city with lots of money that has a pretty large disabled community. They've been really slow upgrading their train stations but their lack of action doesn't make it

Yeah, people can still run their own mail servers without too much work. I've had one for a couple years but I ran into issues with Google tagging my mail as spam at first. It was a while back but I think they want domain owners to ver
