If your site is so poorly written it can't handle a few hundred computers trying to do something as simple as loading your product pages then sorry, but that's on you. The information is on the public web and scrapers are as entit

Your drawing is saved when you leave the page. Dialog boxes are for destructive actions. There is no demo mode - what you're using is the full product.

It's crazy to me that this is even controversial. The fact that I have no idea where code is coming from in a rails codebase is by far the most aggravating thing about the whole ecosystem.

Sorry but this comment strikes me as incredibly ignorant. There are lots of good reasons to self host, chief among them reasons which can't be worked around - compliance and data sovereignty.

Excellent article. One of the best examples I have seen of this is an instructional wood worker named Steve Ramsey. He has excellent content on Youtube but almost every video he makes has a call to action to buy his complete video sets on h

I listen to podcasts from trusted sources like BBC, The Economist or Wall Street Journal. I don't check their facts just like I don't when I read their published material. If I didn't trust my podcast sources I wouldn't

The (very small) trackpad on my XPS 13 is vastly superior to the ridiculously huge one on my work Macbook Pro. It's so odd to me how much praise Apple gets for these monstrosities.

I don't get why so many people use Zoom. I think it's an American thing? No one around here uses it. Even if we ignore the very serious China problem (which, we shouldn't) and the numerous security and privacy lapses (again,
