I love the fact that the author "wrote" this page with massive CSS framework (tailwind) and some sort of Javascript framework, with a bundler and obfuscator - instead of a plain, s…

Thanks for the link to this awesome page!

This is less an example of why serverless was bad but rather an example where using non-suitable services for tasks they were not meant for. In this case they were using AWS Step f…

Having a good keyboard is important (not only for ergonomics, but also for efficiency) in our business. But I find I'm having difficulty when temporarily switching from US to DE ke…

> Let's say we have it every day at 9:30 and I get stuck at 11:00. Does anyone really expect me to wait almost a whole day to get help, or should I just go talk to someone about it…

By being able to modify executable files on the webserver, an attacker can add a backdoor through a security hole quite easily. Without, he could just make use of the security hole…

The update mechanism itself is still insecure, as the wordpress instance must have the ability to exchange its own source code - something you'd at least call risky. Web applicatio…

I am a (happy) user of homeshick ( https://github.com/andsens/homeshick ), but this project really seems to top it by providing the only feature that I've missed until now: - use t…

So, what could it be that makes iPhones "react" with helium? Helium is an inert gas and shouldn't really chemically react with anything in there. Any clues why such an environment …

Plus, the press center tower now serves several companies as offices (with a very nice view from the top onto the Olympic park with the stadium).

This is an unsolved problem; some people work around it by managing multiple twitter accounts, one for each "channel". It doesn't scale by topics, though. OTOH if I have to think a…

There's a fork called homeshick which is a plain-bash rewrite of homesick, so it doesn't have the ruby dependencies (for those who care about that). There might be few differences,…

I use homeshick ( https://github.com/andsens/homeshick ), a - as I understand - rewrite of homesick (ruby) in bash. It needs to be sourced in .{bash,z}shrc and has features like tr…

I wonder why it wasn't possible to restart the mistakenly shut down engine. The article states that in first seconds after the shutdown, the pilots were unaware of their mistake. T…

As I work on quite a big directory tree, where most of the repos are in just a few parent directories, I like using the CDPATH variable that is present in at least (oh-my-)zsh and …

Probably true; the architecture we had in the team was nonexistant, so it turned into a mess... XSLT then has nothing to improve upon. If you start out "right", you probably will b…

I need to agree. Using XSLT to write a XML -> HTML website is not a good idea - at least when a bunch of developers maintain it over time. From the ground up, I admit I like XSLT. …
