Good for nothing? Well, except for handling complex content documents like in all ebooks and, in sgml form, all webpages like this one.

Looks great — thanks Seth. Could you guys set the correct Content-Type on the EPUB? Should be application/epub+zip

I don't see why the price of GA is relevant to plausible's pricing. With Google analytics, you are the product, not the customer. Free ad-supported SaaS is really a different value proposition from non-ad-supported paid services.

I think $6/mo. for fast, privacy-focused analytics for small sites is very reasonable. There's no ad revenue to support this business — the website owner is the customer, not the product. That is a different business model from Go

Is anyone else offended by the non-dismissable email signup pop-over on this page? Ctrl/Cmd-R refresh allows continuing to read from the same point, but still....

It depends on the intonation: / = rising, \ = falling "Do you want /pizza or a \burger\?" = XOR "Do you want /pizza or a /burger/? = OR (as in programming) It can make a good (though well-worn) joke t

Publishers need to ensure that selling a copy of a book to someone does not mean that 10,000 copies are downloaded for free because that book was uploaded to a free download site. That can't happen with physical books in the same way —

That's a good point: "never any conflict" describes the final state rather than the growth process. When I was a younger programmer (as in, during the first few years), I discovered that assuming boolean / formal logic m

Programming uses the same words as regular English, but it is a completely different linguistic register, so there is never any conflict. It’s like working in any field with its own jargon — you use the meaning that is relevant to the conte

Watching TV and movies with subtitles is a great way for intermediate language learners (B1 and above) to progress. Kudos to Mate for thinking of capturing this in Netflix with a browser add-on. However, creating a flash card with a transla

Iowa has caucuses rather than primaries, and from what I hear from my family, that's essentially how the Democratic party caucuses work in Des Moines, Iowa. Rather than filing in and filling out a ballot, my father describes the proces

tldr; JWTs are a premature optimization (and are often a de-optimization) in the context of user sessions. That's all the writer is saying, and I think he said it quite well.

I had a similar experience: After earning an MA in 1993 and going into the world of business, I decided a couple of years ago to have a go at another MA. I only did it for 8 weeks, because it became clear that it wasn't a good fit. Dur

1. Which industry do you work in? In the publishing industry (where I have worked since 1997), the transition from print-only to print-plus-digital that began around 1999 and really got underway after Amazon released the Kindle in 2007 has

I prefer XML + schema (for which I use RelaxNG + jing) because this makes validating the input very straightforward and normalizes that process. But I understand the appeal of JSON and use it for some APIs myself. What experiences do people

I'm most interested to know if CS apps on CC are still available via COM. Does anyone know? I've gotten into the habit of driving CS apps from Python via win32com for publishing workflow purposes.
