This is something that the old freshmeat.net site would do. It was a great place to see releases of software all in one place. I'm sad that it's gone.

Weebly has built-in integrations to Getty Images where you can license photos from their library. Is that what you're asking for?

It's pretty hard to make sweeping statements about Swiss sentiment considering what a fractured state it is politically.

DHH would beg to differ with you. He's stated a few times that he's a successful entrepreneur because of the Danish social safety net (and the taxes that pay for it).

Close and shorten the pain loop as much as possible. If it causes availability pain, it should inflict pain on those who caused it. If the developer wrote terrible code, the developer should be paged when the code/stack/framework

This probably comes from Ubisoft's French roots. It sounds like a very French attitude to take towards being called after hours (which is illegal there). I like that they do this for you; good on them!

Ehh I think you're a bit unreasonable. Even LCD displays take a few seconds to turn on. Power on any recent LCD from cold and it takes a while to boot. Resuming from a S3 state (or whatever the LCD equivalent is) even takes a second or

All 2016 and all Sony. You gotta stay in the same family. It's like the Apple ecosystem.

Boots? It only boots after power outages or updates. Otherwise it's in standby mode and the display turns on in a matter of seconds. The UI is 1 layer deep unless you're in the settings menu. Apps are their own thing. No sync issu

Considering that it replaced a TV from 2005, I'd wager yes. 4K will probably be the last big consumer TV tech push until we get cybernetic implants for eyes. You can't see a difference from 4K to 8K at under 100" screen sizes

I realize it's quite fashionable to bash "smart TV's" in this thread, but I've got a Sony 2016 Bravia and love it. It runs Android TV and has the usual stuff via Android app store (Netflix, Plex, etc). It has built-

HDMI CEC fixes that. It works remarkably well.

Always buy higher-end arts tickets directly. You can probably claim most of it as a charitable tax deduction (the difference vs a GA ticket). The SF Ballet even has a page on it: "*You may deduct up to 80% of your Preferred Seating Pre

There's a study for treating gonorrhea with solithromycin going on right now [0]. It's a single dose, too (alleviating fears of not finishing the entire run). [0] http://www.healio.com/infectious-disease/antim

Verio's big play was in the transit business; they ultimately became NTT America.

This won't use Apple Pay. Also, all of the things you listed seem like a pain just to save $40 worth of transit money.

Why not just make an iPhone case that has a carve-out for the payment card? That way you can use your payment card and not need your phone, too (like going outdoors, to the beach, etc). I ask because I've already seen iPhone cases like

If that's the case, do you require employees to pay for their shares at grant date? Otherwise it's a taxable event (not cap gains but real income) when they vest. Or do you "sell" a portion of the shares back to the comp

I was part of the Hotmail team which consisted mainly of Solaris admins trying to mass administer a giant number of Windows servers. We kept pleading with the Windows team and upper management (forgot who it was at the time, Raikes?) to giv

Most layer 7 blocking mechanisms look for the SNI header in a TLS datagram or the host header. It's not complicated and trivial to do. Only looking at the host header would be quite amateurish. I'm not a security expert, and even

Agreed. We use Solarflare cards but we don't syncookie when we get a large flood. We identify the flood and drop it. There's little point firing back millions of useless SYN ACKs per second. How do you know what to drop without

I have 4 friends who live in Baltimore, and they say it's the opposite of most big cities. In most big cities, there are a few blocks that are bad but most of the city is safe. They say it's the opposite in Baltimore -- most of it

Really? Hrmm. Someone should let all those VPS hosters know that they're doing something impossible. Ceph has block, POSIX file, and S3/object interfaces. Block storage (RBD) is probably the most widely used interface (judging by

Out of curiosity, why bother with SYNPROXY if your edge filtering device can weed out the SYN floods? Legit question, no trollo. Also, anycasting to deflect an attack is easier said that done. It works, but it takes a lot of work to get the

Generating SYN cookies in Linux doesn't work well at those rates without help. That said, it's very possible. Solarflare cards are good at withstanding several million PPS SYN floods...provided you license and then extend their IP

I was going to mention a few places on the east coast that have the Sierras not only beat, but the whole region beat. But I'm going to shut up b/c I don't want people going there. Pulling my Bolinas card.

The rave scene in SF was pretty good for a while. Then the club scene hit, followed by dotcom implosion, and the good times never really recovered. There were some dope dnb/jungle scenes that went down in small clubs/bars, but the
