I haven't myself but there is an API for running queries so it'd be kinda cool to surface X people are on this site currently or generate a little timeseries graph showing popularity of posts

Having added Plausible to my site recently, one killer feature in my opinion is the ability to rewrite the analytics script to be served from your own domain. What this means in effect is that it won't get picked up in traditional ad b

Author here (but not the poster) and I generally agree with that sentiment. Personally, I do inquire about open source copyright clauses when applying for a job. I don't do any development on my work laptop but I do push updates to my

For any Githubbers reading, my coworker was apparently affected by a brownout window and changed to using a personal access token. He didn't know it at the time but I just mentioned the period and it lines up with when had issues with

Ah, the TLS shortening aspect of a CDN is something that seems obvious in hindsight but I'd never really thought about it. Thanks!

Ahh dang, I wrote a whole post and then I accidentally closed the tab :) As background, Xero is in the same boat as a whole host of different businesses. It's nothing unique to them at all. They started with a single C# monolith and th

Admittedly, this incident is probably a pretty big one since it was acknowledged on their Twitter account. They'll mention it in response to customers but you only see an actual broadcast to followers when something is really on fire.

In Sage's case, they're having an Identity outage and Xero have their own identity setup internally (ie; not dependent on any external services) so it'll be purely coincidental.

As an ex-Xero employee, I just had to blink twice seeing this trending on Hacker News. For context, Xero is primarily huge in New Zealand and Australia with a large UK chunk but not much presence in the US. While I shouldn't say too mu

These posts always strike a nice balance between doing a deep dive on a topic while still staying accessible and building the reader up to the "Aha!" step by step although I have things deployed on Fly so maybe I'm a little b

My childhood dream is potentially realised! I would love if it's possible to run PCSX2 on this thing, damn.

As someone who stuck with Windows begrudingly for game support (but was comfortable with Linux), Valve's Proton is basically black magic. I ended up running pop_OS! (Ubuntu) as my main OS for a solid year or so before selling my deskto

Personally, I do this kind of thing manually if I want to send some positive feedback to people who work at companies I like, but they don't have any obvious emails published. A recent example was the CEO of Evernote for the work put i

I agree in principle! To be a bit clearer, I was thinking more in terms of locality so for example, "Users don't even have access to their laptops right in front of them" let alone visibility into their own department or even

I mean, depending on the business, employees aren't trusted to understand the whole picture regardless. Many employees at traditional business don't even have administrator access on their laptops, depending on their position so i

The problem is when Microsoft employees are only able to consult, don't have access to any systems, no one internally seems to own the migration process (or at least appears competent at communicating anything) and even worse, the majo

I remember an article from Lifehacker I think back in the day where the author wrote that they could arguably infer what mood their friends were in from their Last.FM scrobbles. For the uninitiated, it's just a way of tracking music yo

I never used Turntable FM but looking at the cover image for that article: Is that art done by the same person who designed Github's octocat? I can't notice how similar the middle character's face looks to Octocat's face
