Or you can view it as marketing spend. Getting lots of attention online from SWEs circa 2016 is far from a bad thing for a dev tools company.

That’s kind of like saying an IDE has no clear productivity benefit when authoring software. It’s an IDE for note-taking.

We're in a golden age of note taking so I'd check out some of the stuff in the "second brain" space. Obsidian, in particular, is like an IDE for notes that you can customize (e.g. …

Going with the point re: cursor links, if your URLs look something like this then they would be shareable and more stable than page=11. ?startWith= &sortBy=

A student or intern (first-year resident) doing your surgery in orthopedics would be pretty shocking. If that’s really the case you should be upset. In teaching hospitals in the US…

I think you have that backwards. Asymptomatic infection with likely transmission (plus presyptomatic transmission) was a big characteristic of COVID since day one (and one of the r…

Bill.com seems widely used and liked by AP departments.

AWS Fargate may be interesting as you can use containers but don’t need to manage VMs. There is support for scheduled tasks as well. I’d consider looking for convenience CLIs or wr…

Queue management, albums as first-class, actually useful social/discovery features—so much good. RIP Rdio.

FYI Kowloon refers to the peninsula part of Hong Kong which is incredibly, not to be confused with the removed walled city (the area of which is being redeveloped IIRC)

What kind of quality shoes? Good dress-y shoes can be resoled so they should last more than 4 years.

I used to like the aesthetics of naked domains but after having dealt with DoS issues and integrating a CDN, I'd say it's better not to use one for future flexibility. Since you (m…

Hey, I tried this out. There are some solid playlists in there. A couple things I found confusing: - I don't have flash installed in Safari (comes packaged in Chrome) and there was…

We've had issues with saturated upstreams and then been negotiating new ISP connections. All the ISPs I've asked (Level3, NLayer, Cogent) won't put an active restriction to only CD…

I see this issue a lot with blogs related to tracking companies (Mixpanel, for example). These companies are serving their blog CSS from the same hostname as they serve their track…

I'm not entirely sure why they say that since www.github.com is using Github's own BGP IP space whereas the CDN they're talking about is Fastly. In other words, github.com may not …

You know, you're right but until I saw parent's comment I didn't realize why I found it hard to scan through the first page of the review. I wonder if orange is harder to scan thro…

Hey, quick question: is there a way to make ngrok preserve the Hostname it passes to my local machine? E.g. we're using virtualhosts and I need the requests to hit my local host wi…

It should be www., generally, unless you're a huge site and then you can do whatever you want (cf. Twitter) The reason I say this is for smaller operators who may not be running mu…

This is pretty much Textmate to a T. Uses OS X conventions, heavily configured for doing real work out of the box instead of installing 10 packages, has a built-in system for langu…

They tend not to post about interruptions on Twitter. In a lot of ways, they fail as an API-type service provider: * require you to use user:pass instead of keys * no historical se…

No, not really. Sounds like you want to update the backend servers that your load balancer is proxying to while the load balancer is up? Can't you just create an internal network i…

I'm not terribly experienced with Nginx, but HAProxy was (and is) a load balancer first where Nginx is a server with load balancing abilities (same as Apache can, though it gets le…
