The design and illustrations are amazing. Unfortunately this kind of effect gives me immediate and lasting vertigo (lasts a couple of minutes past viewing the site) when used to this degree. I'm not sure if I have an extra sensitivity

How do larger companies (like Basecamp) prepare for these kinds of risks? Do they contract with DDoS mitigation firms beforehand, or do most tend to hire help only when they are actually attacked?

Banks want to quantify their risk as exactly as possible for their asset models. These regulations generally reduce the overall banking system's risk at the cost of compliance. Generally the cost of compliance is far lower than the cos

I had this same problem when I first became a developer. The best thing you can do (in my opinion) is get up early rather than stay up late. You'll give your best effort to learning and personal projects that occur before work. You&#x2

What a great question. Other people's hobbies are always so diverse and interesting. I like to joke that once you have kids, they become your only hobby, but seriously, that's far from the truth. Right now I'm trying to get

You are right that people don't choose to start profitable businesses. They aim for profitability. Perhaps I should have written "...choose to start businesses, a few of which will become successful, sustainable, and profitable.&q

A false dichotomy. Plenty of people with both families and decent jobs choose to start successful, sustainable, and profitable businesses each year. Some of these people are "true believers" in their ideas, and some have other mot

I have several kids. I spend a lot of time with them, regularly, and this is non-negotiable, according to the personal philosophies I hold. It's also more enjoyable than time spent doing really anything else. Ostensibly, I have less ti

I understand that Node.js is really popular here and that my opinion may be an unpopular one. Maybe this will change, but I cannot find a use case for Node where I wouldn't choose something else. If I want to prototype (performance is

I'm not sure why someone would attack GitHub. Extortion? But aren't there more valuable targets? Showing off their botnet, perhaps? These attacks seem frequent.

Wow, I had no idea that my system fonts were trackable with Flash. That's like an instant fingerprint, as many developers and designers have at least a few custom fonts installed -- if not a few dozen.
