The author has helpfully open-sourced the scripts as well, some of which are quite helpful like this one to convert dates to unix time and back: https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/h…

It's helpful to filter out links to large content and downloadable assets from being traversed. For example, I assume you wouldn't care about downloading videos, images, and other …

I am willing to chalk this up to an honest mistake considering "end-to-end" encryption as being from the client's end to the server, although that's not the accepted use of the ter…

I really hope the UX improves considerably and basic features actually function as expected. Notifications for new messages on OS X were broken for several months last year, for ex…

I see your point, but if a dependency package needs exact versions for its dependencies, I'd expect it to be specified in its package.json as well. If not, then I don't see why exa…

Well that's a technicality. There's no reason to base practical realities of Jan 1 2020 being the start of the "2020s" with the fact that Year 0 was missing. I recall a CNN article…

But since the lockfile can be generated from the package.json, I still don't see a reason that the lockfile needs to be committed by a third-party contributor instead of being gene…

Nothing seems to indicate that the cameras are building personal profiles that persist across sessions. That would be hard to do anyway, requiring some kind of recognition technolo…

Well it's likely the client/server time-zone mismatch was the cause here. It could be that everyone at AirAsia, or even the majority of passengers, saw the right dates, and this ed…

The lack of version control in Keep has come back to bite me in the past. I've switched to OneNote which provides more control over version history and deleted notes. It's the only…

We ended up implementing a REST API endpoint for SFTP to provide an easy way for web apps to transfer content without having to speak the FTP protocol: https://kloudless.com/produc…

I'm not sure I understand the concern with integrity of OAuth 2.0 payloads. Sending the request over HTTPS already ensures that the request is not tampered with, and also guards ag…
