I feel the same way. With my smartphone in my pocket, I ended up whipping it out at every second of downtime to read... anything. Twitter, HN, news. That's not an indictment of smartphones but of myself. My wife does just fine with a s

It took a while for me to understand why the threat of a lawsuit is so terrifying in the States. It seemed absurd for both parties to pay even if one is clearly in the wrong. I still don't understand why people are defending this syste

I hope Amazon is using this to take over last-mile delivery. That would be an amazing opportunity to roll out something like http://www.cargocap.com/ - though probably not in a typical US suburb. In a somewhat denser city, doing last-mile

Have you heard anything about Sheldrake apart from this blog post? For every one of his hypothesis he provides experiments to test and falsify them. The problem is that he's already condemned for drawing the "wrong" conclusions so every sci

by jonasvp 14y ago
This won't be a popular opinion around here but I've read quite a bit of Sheldrake's works and they strike me as very lucid. He's a scientist to the bone. However, his findings go against many current scientific theories. This should be an

In general, I completely agree (though I have never seen it happen before). This is not a link, however, but a bitcoin address encoded as a QR code. I - as do many others - have a Bitcoin wallet application with some change on my phone. Hav

We've started using Salt for configuration management and it's everything we'd hoped for. It took some time to get our state tree figured out but now it works like a charm.

Thanks for the kind words! The pricing is obviously geared towards agencies, not freelancers. We'll see how it pans out, your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Tricky one. I don't think there's any way to solve that, other than creating certificates for every CNAME - which is too expensive and complicated for your clients. I've run into this with Campaign Monitor and they simply don't do SSL for C

Right, that's when the "multiple recipients" come into play. You alone probably won't be on the phone with multiple clients.

Thanks! CNAMEs are supported in the Pro version you can upgrade to. Previous visits are remembered, you can access all the data from your control panel or click the permalink in the e-mail you receive on new visits.

I've noticed that screenshots (a la https://browsershots.org/ ) don't really help either as there's no way to debug - you'd change something and need another screenshot to see what happened. I guess we'll have to integrate http://browsers

Definitely, support-details.com was the inspiration. However, we didn't want to send our clients to some other site - we needed a branded version. As for identifying users: you can add multiple recipients in case there are several people in

Hadn't thought about it yet, since it's pretty tied to our workflow. The web interface itself is pretty basic CRUD. Thinking about it now, it does tie together some interesting parts. I'll clean it up a little and put it out there as soon a

This is a misunderstanding of Gresham's law which only applies for multiple currencies that are nominally of the same value. Meaning, if there is a $1 silver coin and $1 gold coin, everybody would be hoarding the gold coin and "getting ri
