    I'm in Sweden, and we behave the same way. We just don't focus on exactly the same things. The attitude towards sex in general is more relaxed, but when it comes to CSA we would lo…

    It's interesting that we, as humans, are all so neurotic about sex, and especially about allowing our kids to understand that sex exists, that we rush to outlaw any depictions of i…

    Cool, I didn't see this tool before. I have tried most open source load testing tools out there, as part of writing a couple of review articles on them ( https://grafana.com/blog/2…

    Nope, there is no restriction for plus addresses. I validate email addresses and specifically allow + and . in the part before the @ sign. myemail+1@mydomain.com and myemail+2@mydo…

    Fun topic! These days I build everything for myself, then publish and see if someone else is interested (mostly not :-) First thing I built, when I started doing full-stack stuff: …

    This is a project I've been involved with lately, that I think is very exciting if you're into Flutter or Dart development. We just released version 1.0 so Serverpod is (hopefully)…

    That's a good observation. I don't currently do any partitioning and I think I have to read up a bit on exactly how Lambda executes Go functions. If they keep the program state bet…

    You can't use , etc tags to embed pictures in your Github README, so you don't get automatic updates there no matter what (i.e. images would only refresh on page load). I don't kno…

    There is a supershields Github app that you can install and then give access to one or more private Github repos. Then when you create Github badges on supershields.io you'll get t…

    OK, I surrender! Being horribly old and needing glasses to see anything small but never having any glasses around, I find that my phone is pretty much useless for work. I guess I'm…

    That looks interesting. I'm installing Cairo right now - a bit of a beast though. I'll test it but might try to port the anafanafo functionality anyway. It'd be very nice to just h…

    Funny, I've made lots of stuff responsive but at some point decided I had to have a minimum page width of 1050px. Now when I remove that and add your "max-width: 100%" I don't see …
