Yeah, I read the piece and couldn't believe that this was the "bleeding edge" product they were referring to. At one point they call it "niche" themselves, which is a more accurate description. "As designers an

I would say that in some ways its easier because you don't have to 100% polish your product page and explain everything your product does without leaving any open questions. Enterprise sales always has this concept of "let's

Personally I feel like my personal moat over my friends and peers is a unique combination of my skills (hard and soft), combined with my experience and outlook on life. Even if someone desperately wanted to become "me" (god, I hop

What is the advantage of this over using the Gmail web ui? The Gmail web ui works great for me, has keyboard shortcuts, push notifications, works on all operating systems, supports multiple accounts with the /u/1/ subpath, et

I agree, it's so close that it's actually being used as an interactive movie background with a big-ass 360-degree screen for dynamic scene and lighting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjb-AqMD-a4

The true problem I see with these kind of integrations is that a company like Shopify can very easily figure out which third-party extensions are turning around the most revenue and then re-build those in house, only better since they have

Well-deserved in my opinion. His no-nonsense and unpretentious way of building products, often out in the open, should be a source of motivation for others who can come up with a dozen reasons why they shouldn't attempt to do X. His bl

Going by the recent discussions about anti-competitive practices employed by Amazon against incumbents in any space that are hosted on AWS I'm not sure this concern is overblown. There's a reason some major competitors to Amazon (

This. Add on to the fact that none of your customers has any incentive to sue you or screw you (i.e. it almost never happens) and that you can get insurance for all kinds of eventualities. And you still have a limited-liability corporation.

The same IP that hosted this guys phishing page also hosted phishing pages targeting Italian banks WeBank, Banca Intesa Sanpaolo and Banca Sella over the past 14 days, all with wildcard certs issued by the same CA. So not really surprising,

Even more importantly: Why is America still stuck with cars that honk when they're locked and that have indicator lights flashing in the same color as the tail-lights? One is a nuisance, the other one a straight-up safety issue.

You can start out with an Einzelunternehmen (Sole Proprietorship) which means your personal finances and your "companies" finances are the same, but it's very little hassle and cost to set up, basically an online form and a f

Depending on your application architecture I'd look into nsq ( https://nsq.io/ ) which works quite differently from most message brokers in that you're supposed to run one instance of the broker per server so you al

I think people choose nginx because it does everything decently, even if it can't beat HAProxy for load-balancing or Varnish for caching (at least the FOSS nginx). I run a small-to-mmedium size application with multiple upstream (local

Here in Germany they have deployed so-called "whisper/porous asphalt" on the highways leading into some major city centres. Since it's more porous than regular asphalt it absorbs noise (and rain) much better, but the dra

For my standard use-cases using the query_string query is "good enough", it is the only thing I regularly implement and expose to users. That + some pre-defined aggregations gets you very far. Query String Query can do things like

Ugh, just realised how bad it is. The menu bar and repo toolbar are float left/right but the repo content is in a centered max-width div which means that it does not align with the buttons and text in the bars above it at all. Who the

I'm torn about their account. It's true that you could easily scrape 25k pages per day on a small VPS that costs less than the $50 Lambda costs they mentioned. And in order to scrape from that VPS you wouldn't have to enginee

Check out Luminati for example. They have a huge network of true residential IPs to exit traffic from, and you have to pay a hefty premium per GB of traffic to do so ($12.50 per GB for rotating residential IPs, but requires a minimum $500 c
