indeed. I'm surprised how buried this comment is, because it's a really good deal (until they change things). anecdotally, DO sent me an email when one of my droplets was sustaining around 200MB/s, but it wasn't a &quo

this is why I'm surprised zcash and monero haven't taken over the markets.

I disagree with that one too, but maybe we have different taste. akzidenz-grotesk[1] was first released in 1898 and it will probably look modern to you (it was the basis for helvetica). there were also a lot of titling gothic fonts that cam

I appreciate the nostalgia and share the sentiment, but it's mostly gone from the web already thanks to JS minification and asset minification in general. without a repo to look at the original code, it won't be of much use, even

given that DO doesn't charge for transfer (the limits are officially unenforced for the time being), "all you can push through 200mbit" is actually quite attractive depending on your use case.

if you're referring to wannacrypt, don't. hypothetically, though, use localbitcoins.com if you can find someone in your area, otherwise coinbase. the problem with coinbase isn't just the purchase limit -- banks frequently fla

there were a few problems with gwern's methodology IIRC. didn't test a perceptual dose after dissolving it, and also didn't get energy control (spanish lsd-testing lab) to evaluate potency.

there are in fact a few emilia's hacks and secrets -- but I can't share them here! the most important one is getting to know keith :) berkeley does indeed have good pizza. outside the neopolitan pizzerias, gioia is excellent, arin

surprised to see this here, but it doesn't have style sheets, so maybe not too surprised ;) jeff varasano's website is a great resource for pizza hackers and lays a lot of myths to rest (like proofing). my own process (which I coo

cool project! some of the conditions on the road are fairly predictable -- highway signs, lane markers, people, other cars, etc -- but what are some of the edge cases that you've had to account for? e.g. a mattress falls off a car in f

this reads like an april fools joke! it is absolutely not an act of inclusion to move from an ultra non-specific abstract circle to a different abstract shape more reminiscent of a potato chip.

nuxt is great but I'd wait until the 1.0, which I would guess is coming in a couple of months. it doesn't support response streaming yet, and a few other things that may have been addressed since I last looked..
