I was genuinely surprised your comment doesn't end with an "/s", but anyway, I'd be interested to hear the rationale of users who pay for "smart people thoughts".

I think the OP is using the sed syntax [0] to say: > Now rewrite your entire comment with sonos instead of ubiquiti. [0] https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html#uh-6

Most government tenders for a contract are available online, I'm from Australia so not entirely sure what I'm looking at but this[1] appears to be some sort of reference to the ten…

Ever since xmlhttprequest (and even before that with images) we've been able to do server-side validation without a full page reload. This "solution" completely ignores the purpose…

imo, "modern" would mean it removes or replaces features and characteristics which were exclusive to or popular in a previous time period but are not essential or can be replaced w…

This is preventing me from reading (and possibly writing) with Cloud Logging APIs across multiple accounts and regions. Also worth noting this incident is described as part of "Ope…

I think there is some difficulty specific to Shopify here, as REST APIs go their original one was fairly sane and provided powerful features. When their GraphQL API was released it…

Completely forgot in the other comment but your product would be subject to GST, which is a tax. I can't imagine Google paying GST %s on their Australian ad sales, but it's a start…

What if you as a European (company) employ 1000 Australians in Australia and have Australia specific resources (including sales) in Australia and use those Australian resources exc…

Well done, it's a neat idea and if the service can provide a measurable improvement I think it's worthwhile to pursue further. Seeing the service in action would really help both t…

Painfully ironic that the static landing page for a service offering to improve website performance (by adding more technology) scores a miserable 66% on mobile and 90% on desktop …

IME, using a single package.json is a harmful and naive practice, in abstract it results in a single product version and leads to poor separation between the client(s) and server(s…

And even more simply, verifying the user is a "real person" in contrast to verifying the user is the "right person".

This was a problem before Twitter allowed 2FA via SMS, so I'd argue this is very much a Twitter problem. Afaict this all stems from mixing verification with authentication, where v…

This logic would require them to re-scrape every video forever, which is unreasonable. I think a better approach for everyone involved would be to only store references to videos w…

This is neat but lacking the obvious data-uri format which similar services implement: data:text/html;base64,...

Unexpected or undesired behaviours are relative to who's expectations and desires are being considered while bugs are (or at least should be) universally recognisable as bugs.

I used this service a while ago, when I saw the host of podcast I follow was available as a "cameo", my request for the video was a in-joke from the podcast, I was sent the video a…

It's finding value in those tools which the agency (and most others, mine included) would be claiming to be capable of and I think to a reasonable extent they've proven that, even …

For those waiting and wondering, it's a ~370mb download

There are a lot of gotcha's when rolling your own web server based on the http and https packages and I think the conclusion of the article could have gone further in addressing wh…

I've just released a small product using CockroachDB, in retrospect it was probably my favourite technical decision. Previously I'd used it as a toy and tested deployment strats bu…

I recently changed a major shopping centre in my state from "Foo Market - The Shopping Capital" to "Foo Market" and 48h later it was approved. I'm not sure which one google would c…

you can stop wondering, many offer kickbacks.
