The problem is the only thing I really care about is the stuff in wp-content! I've inherited a few sites with custom themes and it's the changes in plugins that I'm most interested in so I can track issues. Almost anything el

As a JavaScript learning exercise (OK mostly because it was fun), I started writing a simple bot to play the Paperclips game[1] for me. I was really surprised with how easy it was to do stuff like add in a third party graphing library and t

I got 1.5 paragraphs into this article and ran into the term "helm chart", which I'd never heard before. I searched it and lo and behold, it (Helm) is a package management system for Kubernetes [1]. I'm sure this is quit

Mostly interested in how much RAM it uses - Launchy using < 9MB for me indexing all my applications + some of my docs. I feel like anything built on Electron is going to be 1GB at least?!

Just saw Ueli from the article. Looks really interesting but it seems to be built in Electron. What's its footprint like? I'm currently very happy using the nice lightweight Launchy but it hasn't been updated in a long time.

"Learned behaviour" works for Google products for exactly as long as they decide to keep the current version of the interface :) I feel like I usually get a couple years out of it, just enough to build up the muscle memory, then t

I have assumed for a while the only way to convert FB -> RSS would be to scrape the home page, but from what I recall the HTML & DOM is all kinds of messed up - intentionally obfuscated to prevent adblocking. From a quick look just n

Kind of feels like focusing on the well-proven science behind limiting spread of infection is more useful than acknowledging that sometimes you can do nothing and get lucky.

For those like me that didn't know what ngrok is, "ngrok exposes local servers behind NATs and firewalls to the public internet over secure tunnels"[1]. So it allows you to easily expose internal services publicly, letting yo

Thanks for the reply - I have been subscribed to the Cloudflare blog for years and really enjoy reading many of the in-depth technical articles that are provided by the team. I have shared many of them both internally in my workplace and on

I'm a generally technical person and I'm simply flat out uninterested in video content - the stuff that will be on this sounds broadly interesting to me but I'd rather read it in article format. I understand video "perfo

That would be my guess too.. but that's probably what you want to happen if automated sensors are unable to perceive the world around them - slow and stop the car until a human takes over again...?

How about laser rangefinders? Even one of them in the centre of the vehicle in the direction of travel would be useful for high speed impact avoidance - well, assuming they work reliably and how I think they do; I'm not a hardware guy.

Tiny websites are great! It's interesting to note that the website content itself for this article is 5,045 bytes (HTML + CSS), but the analytics code (firebase-analytics.js) is 26,458 bytes, and firebase-app.js (whatever this is?) is

How much is this still a problem in a multicore world? I guess I assume my UI is being managed by a separate process on a separate core most of the time, and any userspace stuff that is demanding CPU will just be thrown onto another core. I

This looks excellent, nice work and thanks for releasing it at a time when this kind of thing is even more critical to free us from the shackles of commercial/closed source products. I had a quick look only so apologies if I missed it,
