I thought this would be something more specific, but it's just a fairly generic website that lets anyone create a countdown clock. Not only that, but this seems to be counting down to 5:00 PM EST (for me, at least), and the inauguratio

Congrats on the latest release! I'm really excited to see this space getting a lot of attention and traction lately. I think it's one of those things that basically every app has to "reinvent" to some extent, and I would

Well that's when you get a lawyer to review it for you. I realize there is a cost involved here, but when you're talking about something like this it's usually well worth it - if only to know exactly what you are agreeing to.

It's absolutely astounding to me how many folks blindly sign legal documents. Especially employment related. Whenever I've pushed back on an employment contract, NDA, or similar it's always met with sudden confusion - as thou

Hooks are not some panacea that's going to fix a defunct development process or poor code organization and management. Any codebase, using any language, framework, feature, and technology, needs to be managed properly. There's rea

It's really hard to tell from the wording of all of this what exactly this applies to. It talks about medicine and food allergies, but also says those who carry an an adrenaline autoinjector. Does that mean those that carry the adrenal

I've been using ZFS for a few years now and it's just been amazing. Storage is so cheap these days that it's just much simpler and straight-forward to use mirrored vdevs. If a single drive fails, the pool is still completely

It's a buzzword, but that doesn't mean that what people think of as "organic" - in the good sense - doesn't exist. I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your comment gives the impression that all "organi

I'm in the same situation. This used to happen often, years ago when they first introduced GAFYD, and I haven't had an issue in a long time. But looks like things are reverting back now.

Not to derail the conversation, but I'm curious about how you soundproofed your home office. Do you have any information about how you went about that and what was involved? I've been looking into this myself recently.

I checked it out and created a diagram, then I clicked the icon in the upper left corner thinking it was some sort of menu. But it just took me to the main home page -- but without saving anything at all or even prompting me. So I basically

That's debatable. Perhaps not the most secure, but possibly the best quality and most reliable (to this point, at least). Depends how you define quality, but the ease of use and high quality video are perhaps the leading factor in thei

But they do once the consumer spends that gift card. So charing 30% for the gift card would sort of be charging the Apple tax twice, wouldn't it?

This is a very naive response. Rarely is anything "trivially implemented". And if it's so trivially implemented, why haven't we seen a browser vendor implement something already? Websites have been circumventing attempts

I wasn't commenting in any way on the legalities. IANAL and, frankly, I just don't think it's germane to my point. Netsential clearly had a massive security vulnerability in their system that allowed one user to access the da

That's the first thing I thought, too - sounds like they are trying to spin it as some malicious user "broke in". If a "customer user account" is able to upload a malicious payload and exfiltrate huge amounts of oth

It's not a scenario where you can look at "absolute years from inception". It's all relative. With the JS ecosystem, you have rapidly changing Web APIs and standards, varying degrees of browser support and Node versions.

This sounds like the sort of thing I hear from folks who have only passively dealt with the Javascript ecosystem but somehow still seem to think they have a really great handle on the entire situation, how it got there, what exactly the roo

I don't think it's quite that simple. Ignoring the fact that I'm not in the EU, the company would also have to have some sort of presence in the EU for that to have any effect. And then which company do I send it to? The orig

I think they've iterated on the design a bit over the years, but my primary criticism is that it can be hard to distinguish that an input is, in fact, an input. I think Google has since changed their design to have a filled background
