CF is the only company I have ever seen that can have an outage and get pages of praise for it. I don't have any (current) use for CloudFlare's products but I would love to see the culture that makes them praiseworthy spread to ot

I had to switch dentists last year due to my former, excellent dentist closing his practice. I had heard of these kinds of stories. I knew I had a cracked filling (my old dentist had told me so) and his advice on a previous visit was "

IE may have been problematic from a tech point of view, but I'll eulogize that IE was important in advancing the web. The OS-integrated browser meant that in 1995, users had a full Internet stack readily available on their home PCs --

Why is industry-driven an issue? And compared to what others? On the contrary, SIP is as readable and understandable as HTTP. Someone who understands HTTP can learn SIP-based VoIP quite easily using their software/web background withou

It would have required much forethought to predict, in 2002, that realtime communications would be happening in the browser. Thus WebRTC was born. But a tragedy of WebRTC is that it is not by-default compatible with SIP. WebRTC authors coul

Many VoIP providers have ordering systems that let you do vanity searches, and some have APIs. Twilio is one. You can put down a few dollars to start an account, buy a number, and then immediately port it away to a mobile carrier if you lik

The pay phone was my way of calling for a ride in high school and calling home when I was in college. I tested out a homemade red box on one of the phones at the high school once and got a suspicious operator on the line. The pay phone and

Sorry, I don't get it. Looking at the source tree, there's a folder of html. So you're compiling it down to a single binary, for what purpose? If you love golang, run caddy and point it to a folder of html.

GNU isn't the only Free (not to mention free) philosophy in town. I believe it to be the only one whose licenses start out in a combative posture, e.g. "The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take

Not only do you do very little work and get rewarded nicely for it, you post about your laziness on HN and get rewarded for it through praise and upvotes. Obviously you are doing well for yourself. But I am glad I do not work with you.
