    Now i'm not associated with gutenberg in any form, but they do have a page for offline consumption: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/offline_catalogs.html Perhaps you can find the …

    I never bought into the apple ecosystem for the exact reason of not being able to feel ownership over my own device. However i also understand the challenges google has. They/vendo…

    Ouch! It looks very sweet i must say. Having worked on a similar idea for a while as a side project, it does hurt to see something better coming out. I hope we can one day compete.…

    Now i haven't dug deep into hotwired. But isn't this how we used to do it before (insert your favourite javascript SPA framework here) was a thing? Now it's certainly not a bad thi…

    "Now might be a good time to change your password to something longer, or finally get onboard with 2FA." If it becomes trivial to crack the passwords, then we're really left one fa…

    What is your opinion about using https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httptest/#Server for end to end tests? Assuming you're testing a webserver of course.

    I can't figure out what i think about it. Most of those are of no use to me anyways as a European citizen. However were i interested in US local news i'd be sad not to be able to a…

    Your point is valid that giving your html tags id's are like defining global objects. In fact some browsers give you warnings if you have two tags with the same id defined. However…

    While it sounds cool i'm a bit dismayed by the naming choice as ACI in my head is short for the Application Container Image format as used by CoreOS and appc.

    Why is that a dick move? What would you do if npm or github goes down tomorrow? Vendor your dependencies if you want to make sure your own project doesn't break.

    I must admit that i was also expecting an article about Midori the web browser, only to get disappointed when opening the article. Luckily nothing stops me from closing the article…

    I suggest that instead of compiling it into the binary, that you use environment variables instead. Or make it command line flags. Then you can have a bash script that you don't ch…

    You really need competition on your networks. In Denmark the carriers are forced to rent out their networks to competitors so that we don't get a monopoly. Currently i pay ~37$ for…

    No shit Sherlock. When they have wetted their pants long enough, nature adapts and overcomes their little hack. Maybe we should look more into permaculture and forget about monocul…

    I don't know any solutions for setting up a mail server easily. But my general opinion is that software is poorly written if it requires an arcane setup all kinds of moving parts. …

    I'm glad to see that you have revised your list and added DuckDuckGo. It would be sad to see genuine search engines like duckduckgo be left out.

    Yea this font wouldn't work in scandinavia either. I like the font but it needs more symbols to be useful. Scandinavia needs ÄÖ and ÆØÅ. Accented characters would also be nice.

    I would mean it's never the users fault. In most cases it's poor design. Poor interfaces. I'm not an apple fanboy but apple has clearly done something right in that ballpark. If th…

    I'm getting a bit fed up with US media. Calling a natural occurring phenomenon an attack is just fear mongering. Is it time to bring out the tinfoil hats ? That being said it's an …
