Without having read anything but your comment: What about the actual vs. perceived wear and tear on the ships(?) transporting the goods, do they experience 5 days worth of repair/u…

OPML (I am familiar) could be used as a basis yep, but it's a file format which is more akin to vCard, vCal and iCal - CalDav, CardDav and WebDav are the transport(?) layers (API l…

For anyone unaware, the "enriched" and lack of iron being a problem is based on FDA regulations developed before WWII which is required by the FDA on certain foodstuffs in the USA:…

+1 to the Bookmarklet, it's what I use now for another service and it's simple and works (and can be hotkeyed in most browsers); I suspect the GP did not find the docs with the boo…

This fits almost any situation (explicit vs. implicit) and I'm a big fan - when mentoring I tend to say "yes that was the default when you looked today, how do you know it won't ch…

I was curious as well, turns out they're using a non-standard parsing with a comment in the function explaining why: /* This uses a non-standard parsing (ie not inet_aton, or inet_…

I hit the 2000 HN post character limit pretty hard on this, had to delete all line items with "NONE - $0" in them and so forth to squeeze in all the data above. Pretend you see tha…

I think it's just part of some generic category of strict blocking used by the hosted service - there's a lot of other stuff blocked, we generally don't get reasons as users other …

A .com will cost that important. I'll posit that most folks know how bad the name squatting business is around the internet and nobody really thinks hard about somethingreallyobscu…

While I only named .xyz above, my (enterprise) company blocks several other TLDs as well like .info, I'll check .icu when I'm back after holiday but would not doubt it's blocked. C…

To put an example to the other comments, look up the history of the XYZ domain - in a nutshell, they had a fire sale selling domains for pennies to gain market share. Besides norma…

Neat! I added the top level RSS [1] to The Old Reader [2] and it pulled up just fine (validation), the title shows up as "xfer" by default but otherwise works fine for this reader.…

We used to use Freshmeat.net for this for a really long time, Slashdot moved it over to Sourceforge but then it died in 2014. http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/

Since we're here talking about Shopify - nearly every small shop (1-10 person makers) I buy from who uses the platform could not (in the past 30 days): (a) change the email address…

Solutions like Owl are actually kind of nice, I have been using a similar one on my phone (AquaMail) for many years and it's worked out great. Thanks for the tip, might give it a s…

Firefox has a suite of `about:` URLs[1], one of them is about:performance which will show you the Task Manager (their name) which has a sort of CPU and RAM column. It even shows yo…

I disagree - the feature they need is better calendar integration with Exchange based services and the Exchange address book (GAL). As a corporate user this is the Achilles heel an…
