I am reading in the airport after leaving Morocco. A couple of days ago I received a weird spam SMS message (coming from an iCloud account) that i’ve never seen before. I didn’t op…

It looks like they updated the extension but previously when you searched for a entry you couldn't easily copy the password, I had to get into the entry, edit, show password and co…

I am another long time LastPass user (2010ish) to (paid) Bitwarden convert. Simply better in every possible way. The UX/UI of LastPass is so bad, search and copy a password? Almost…

I am assuming that one of the reasons they won't let users pay to opt out of ads might be because paying users are the most valuable for advertisers. They wouldn't let their most v…

> That's completely unacceptable. You can still look at the bright side (you were allowed to run a company which allowed you to access US wealth, many countries restrict that to th…

This right here, I applied two times, first time I just knew the interviewer wont approve my visa when I saw the way he looked at me, I had a feeling I was bothering him, he straig…

Oh interesting, I'll give this a go.

Is this a re-rebranding? I remember using something similar 4-5 years ago (instant.js/instantclick). But quite an interesting little thing, especially useful for older websites to …

I've been looking to ditch Slack in favor of Basecamp, isn't Campfire enough to replace Slack?

Thanks! It only took me 11 years to get the courage to at least _attempt_ to ship something. And although I am no position to look for investment, as in I don't have access to a VC…

I am working on a similar product, https://www.pagespy.io , that lets you monitor any webpage, albeit not as simple and targeted as f5bot (I really like the name), currently in ver…

With the right hardware, installing macOS is easier than installing Windows. I've been using hackintosh on and off for the past 10 years and if you buy tested hardware, installing …

Oh. I could've written the same post, I am just before buying a ticket somewhere. Would love to get in touch, if that's possible.

It depends. I've worked in the e-commerce industry for more than 10 years, not having proper fraud prevention is something that can bankrupt you. If you _know your customers_, it's…

When I work remotely, having someone "work" at the same time as me makes the situation feel less ... lonely, it's like having a co-worker :) See them work, makes me work. Also I en…

Indeed so, I had quite a bit of code written to handle deployment for 2 simple static websites, all got replaced by netlify in under 10 minutes, mind blown.

That's something that I've been trying to find myself, with not that much luck. Jane Street Capital has a nice video presentation though: https://blog.janestreet.com/how-to-build-a…

Given that he himself is a creator and someone directly affected by piracy (in this case software cracking) I assume he knows what he's talking about. As a creator as well, I am aw…

This does seem to be very likely, I've spent too much time to count trying to investigate bugs that should not exist only to discover that the issue is of PEBKAC nature.

I remember a few years ago when Chrome actually had a hidden feature flag that let you enable side tabs, not fully tree style, but it was better than nothing. Sadly they removed it…

> I'm somewhat surprised it mentioned publicly. I guess it explains why I am not able to find any information related to SABLE. Are you able to release anything related to it? It s…

I am not saying that as an attack to PHP (or a defense of NodeJS), I am writing PHP daily, but when it comes to real-time (at least WS systems), PHP would be my last resort, mostly…

Indeed, or sometimes I want to try certain attack vendors and the next second I am thinking I am fooling myself, they're smarter than me, they wouldn't leave such bugs in, queue a …

I discovered the same error/bug a few weeks ago when a co-worker linked "this weird page" to me, I just looked around and thought it's pretty cool too see that part of Google and d…

I assume NodeJS is used just as a WebSocket server for their real-time events, doing that in PHP would be a bit uncomfortable.
