The --webroot module for LetsEncrypt is as easy as pointing to /var/www.

Same sort of thing happens with C#/.NET as well.

Ah, SEO, how much I loathe everything you spawn and touch.

Why do we use drones piloted by humans? I think given the sophistication of modern financial algorithm and counter-algorithms, it's easy to see why humans will always be necessary …

I recall reading that namecheap stores passwords in plaintext? I'd be interested if this was refuted. In any case, I'd be a bit wary to go along with the bandwagon to this particul…

I guess my giant question is why didn't they make a C#-like scripting language first?

You're right. But, my point is there is no amount of money we can reasonably pay them that will come close to the money they require to get re-elected, which is more important to t…

I had a similar story, though not as technically amusing. In HS I noticed that our copies of MS Office allowed macros, i.e. you could run any VB you wanted. Of course, even in the …

I don't think he was justifying the punishments, but rather the logic. I can tell you, assuredly, that most users will be impeded by something as simple as DNS. Hell, look how simp…

Since we're talking about optimization, if you're on a SSD you should disable prefetching--which is essentially a technique for older (read: shittier) computers.

They horde money for campaign (ads). The notion that they are doing a Scrooge McDuck in taxpayer money is generally false. I'm not putting the onus on the taxpayer, but attack ads …

I'm curious why they wouldn't make it public. I'm sure 95% of people wouldn't read them.

I'm not a DBA by any measure, so I sort of find myself the same way when acclimating myself to any database--let alone the non-rational ones. I really have come to value a good DBA…

Not to be glib, but couldn't I make this comment about nearly any "enterprise" software? Though, I guess as a whole, this entire review could be applied to nearly anything--since i…

Given the very nature of the internet, it boggles my mind that transcripts/original sources aren't linked to quotes. It's at no cost to the user since it's not a giant inline block…

As somebody that often gets hired to say things in a legal setting, I will confirm you can (unfortunately) find an expert to say anything (to a point). This is generally why the op…

In case we reach the exhaustible amount of bandwidth: http://www.mediafire.com/?v92bxi1m82uz4mz [PDF screenshot]

It wasn't. I'm just used to violent reactions, like "F* CORPORATIONS F* FOR F*"

I suppose not, but my point is I think inconveniences are relative to the user.

For you, maybe. I've found AAC being proprietary is enough to make people buy iPods. Hell, I'm pretty sure you can convert it to MP3 within that piece of shit iTunes.

Wow, everything about HN really is the opposite of Reddit.

Like the Google Search Bot. That's always fun (and strangely unlocks a lot of sites).
