Slaves, lots and lots of slaves, many of whom died. Exactly as you'd imagine something of epic proportions being made in the 19th century.

Yes, because at least then it's obvious how they make money.

Looks like Beanstalk for Kube by Google.

I half expected this to be another IoT thing. The car broadcasting some form of wireless signal when it switches gears for some app integration, and the alarm picking that up.

Nothing against the article strictly speaking, but can we stop with the "subtle" innuendos to get clicks already? We have enough sexist crap going in the industry as is.

So you installed a WP plugin without doing any research and hoped it would make your pages faster by using unicorns and magic, or to quote > Most importantly, I was surprised to fi…

Same here. Spotify finally pissed me off enough yesterday that I just went and cancelled and I'll see how Play works out. It's just far too buggy and I don't remember a day I haven…

Honestly, I'd extend this to any serious exercise. I'm not a big fan of weights, but I run a lot and it's profoundly changed things. All the research into +20% cognitive, getting t…

After two years in London, insane rent is kind of the default state I assume for any city. Thanks!

To be honest, I haven't studied the visa types that deep (i.e., I probably know everything there is to know about the US ones, almost nothing about the Australian ones). I'm an EU …

Looking for info on contracting in Sydney, bonus points for immigrant perspective. This has been covered plenty of times for London (which is where I'm at right now), something lik…

UK is definitely one of them, and there's a support page listing them. Preordered mine within some 20 mins of it opening and no problem shipping to a London address.

GoDaddy has had a lot of social engineering scandals, I wouldn't ever do any business with them. Been with namecheap for quite a while, had no issues.

> [..] on top of tkinter which is one of the most productive graphical toolkits. > .. > [..] on top of Tkinter that is such a great graphical toolkit. Right. About as great as pull…

Also happens to parse XML with regexes. Lovely.

There's the very obvious UX problem though, that for weight, all you need to do is step on a block of solid material, whereas this has a lot more friction in the process. Not sure …

In any definition, a near miss is a hit. A "near hit" would be what you're looking for... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDKdvTecYAM

So I got tired of not having any reasonable metrics library, because scales * uses a thread for the decay ticker, which breaks it if you use Tornado with fork() * uses "clever tric…

The whole point of it is kind of moot though, an impulse burglar would just roam the neighbourhood to find a target and one with a specific target has better ways of finding out if…

Confirmed, also doesn't ask for any permissions or show any pop-up, just a kind of "blocked" icon.

While we're at it, we should rename "web servers" to "web attendants".
