That's interesting. Currently I have 2 different domains at 2 different registrars. In each case I have the bare name, www and other subdomains as "A" records, not CNAME. So it doesn't matter if people use the www pref

Interesting, I was considering Tanzer for a website of an arts organization I've been assisting, though they're slow getting their act together. Now I'm glad to see Tanzer is still an active project. I'll look into it

If it's not getting better on its own, do yourself a favor and see a qualified medical professional for an evaluation of your back problem. Commonly these problems are treated in physical therapy. A skilled PT is an expert at prescri

The article's advice is rather generic, though it did bring up some interesting responses. The rule about comments in code elicited a minor controversy, but I tend to agree with the sentiment that adding comments is more worthwhile th

I can only add to the chorus here. Recently used LE to generate certs for my servers running on FreeBSD, which to date is really only semi-supported by LE. To my surprise, getting certs was quite easy. Just needed to run the LE utility, a

Several comments mention Skeleton as possible alternative to Milligram. Unfortunately, as pointed out, Skeleton appears to be dead, i.e., no project activity for a year. I've also used Skeleton in several projects though it required c

Actually the "Hello ..." program is not so bad to show first. After all, it is a tradition, and like other introductions in the social universe, greetings serve a purpose. "Hello world" instantly tells me, ah, "

The pharma-sponsored presentation is a time-honored tradition. Usually held at an upscale restaurant in the evening, the well-paid speaker goes through "the drill" about the product. Slides (and their great graphics) provided by

This development was discussed on HN about 3 days ago. On that thread I commented that a merit of the incandescent is its continuous output spectrum. The newer lamp technologies produce discontinuous spectral output, CFL having prominent

Good timing on the topic, I mean "how short is it?" when it comes to life duration. I'm at a stage of slowing down, cutting back after working for decades "at the front line". Like everyone says, it all zoomed by

Yeah, I know some EHRs have been attacked re: inadequate security, though AFAIK major vendors in my local area seem to have been doing OK recently. However, it only takes small errors here or there to open up significant holes, a fact I&#x

Maybe it's too obvious or maybe I'm completely missing something, but seems a "fatal flaw" in this scheme is the fact that not everyone owns a smartphone, or even uses web services enough to develop much of an identifiab

With your intro, I just had to see it. I don't know how interesting their products are, impossible to tell since there's no actual information to find. Actually it's worse than nothing because it seems to promise something

Indeed, the Cineo lights claim high CRI values. Per their website, the lights are intended for cinematography and similar applications. I surmise they wouldn't be used in homes or commercial spaces, at least that would be rare. The

There's another aspect to this development. One benefit of incandescent lamps vs. CFL or LED is superior CRI (color rendering index). CFL/LED lamps produce output having a discontinuous spectrum, fluorescents with prominent green

Not a new idea at all, many compilers for different languages output C as one option anyway[0]. Among languages I've enjoyed using and achieving high productivity is CHICKEN Scheme[1]. The compiler defaults to emitting C, though usual

Used gimp since v0.54 back in the 90's. It's sure come a long way since then. I've been using v2.9.x on Linux and lately trying it on Windows 10. Not so good on Windows, but the Linux version seems pretty solid. IOW for mo

Remarkable similar to my own history with Postgresql, which I started using in ~1998 at the time of their first public release. Postgresql documentation has indeed been the exemplar for all software, open source or not. It's been the

In line with the point of the article, I can attest to the difficulty of tracking food intake. It's an experiment I've done several times in the past 20 years. The idea is not only recording everything eaten, but weighing ever

The recurring debate described in the article comes down to prevention vs. cure, a dichotomy very familiar to medical practitioners. Prevention of dysfunction has been a principle of particular merit, the "gold standard". That i

Nutrition has always been high on my list of important topics, and yes, they do teach the subject in medical school. It used to be that it was an elective set of courses, so true, not all medical students became well-versed in it. Not sur

Anonymous publication is in all probability impractical, but the concept also has serious flaws. Identifying authorship is important not only to give credit (or blame) where it's due, but also for historical reasons, to know how resea

I sure didn't intend to be argumentative, and as I said, I do think you are right, the fingerprinting example is flawed just as you point out. I was only considering the calculations in the abstract, as representing how such algorithms

OK, IIUC I'd agree that the "entropy" or uniqueness calculation would be misleading if in fact all user agents with a particular string identifier had the same screen resolution. IOW in that case it's redundant informat

It is disconcerting to see the browser "fingerprint" and realizing it's very difficult to significantly reduce its "uniqueness" based on all the factors listed. I guess that's the point, each element in the lis

Is it really a matter of intuition or just familiarity with the interface? I suspect it's the latter, likely older people you've encountered aren't "early adopters" of technologies vs. their younger contemporarie

Quite interesting. I am familiar with Hokusai who was active in the 18/19th centuries, and who is considered a direct influence on the European impressionists in the late 1800's. Hokusai's iconic "Great Wave off Kanagaw

A few years ago I wrote a webmail client to access my mail on the server host. I had developed a web server (in Scheme no less) that was/is running (now on a VPS) and at the time it seemed only natural to extend it with webmail functi

This is interesting from a number of perspectives. Knowing many top-notch programmers, they manifest the ability to see the big picture and the detailed view at the same time . Quite a feat because ordinarily one view distracts from the
