    Apologies for the lack of support on the chart, SVG rendering is terrible in Firefox. If you click on the 'Day' view and then 'Show only Mavericks' you can clearly see a rise from …

    I still don't think you get the idea. Using 'the old lemon man jumped high as a pokemon' across multiple services may be secure from someone trying to hack just you, but it's much …

    I may do, it's not too difficult for people who care about it to just take it out - I'd actually rather people take the code, remove tracking if they'd like, edit colours/whatever …

    That's a decent idea, appending/prepending the service name to the hash would probably help.

    Yes, but it's by far the lesser of two evils. You can easily take a substring of the generated password. How would you randomise the length of the password in a repeatable + secure…

    Sounds like you've misunderstood the purpose of this. I usually just use a single password across most services, so they all know your password, even if you trust them not to store…

    It's a repeatable SHA1 hash, what more do you want?

    Comment #6504187

    Probably didn't make it clear enough, it's repeatable so you'd use Twitter as the service and whatever password you usually use (master password), it'd come back with a hash and yo…

    Basically, it's for efficiency reasons. Some of our sites have well over 40 pageviews per second and updating the numbers that frequently would put a huge amount of load on our ser…

    We monitor if the page is focused or blurred, so you can get both metrics in real-time.

    We get a lot of questions at GoSquared ( https://gosquared.com ) as to why their engagement metrics (and visitor counts) are so different between GA and GoSquared. Pinging all visi…

    There's no server side code at all for this - we're planning on open sourcing our labs section as well soon (and doing more labs projects, of course)

    nginx doesn't support websockets quite yet, so no, but will do soon - http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/roadmap

    Very unfair to be using a t1.micro instance, they're only meant to give very short bursts of power and don't give any dedicated hardware (so giving the hardware specs is pointless)…
