How recently is “recently”? It seems (to me as an outside observer) that it’s gotten notably harder to get national-currency money out of exchanges in the last, say, 6 months, because (I’m guessing) as the price goes on an upward run, more

Disappointing to see a co-founder of Wired pushing the "real names fix things" meme. We had that discussion with G+ how many years ago? It did nothing but generate negative press for Google until they quietly half-buried it long

Sure, OSI has an official doctrine, and Perens has (or had) kind of a unique point of view within that, about the two terms being fully synonymous -- but he partly walked back that view later, and Stallman and FSF's has historically be

I remember in 1993-1994 playing Cosmic Osmo on a Mac. All the old pre-Myst Cyan games (Manhole, Osmo, Spelunx) were basically HyperCard stacks, which didn't directly allow for any but the crudest animation. But Cyan had integrated Ma

This is great if all your DNS is done via cloud providers like Dyn and Route53, but can I use this to manage zones in traditional DNS instances? I don't see a BIND/dnsmasq/djbdns provider or any code referencing those or oth
