For a moment I thought this was about https://csszengarden.com/pages/about/ (A long time ago) it was an amazing source to learn CSS, and get design inspiration.

I use https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper for this (no affiliation, just saw on HN before). IIRC there are also some open source solutions in the space compatible with Linu…

Coincidentally, yesterday I finished reading "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals" ( https://www.harvard.com/book/four_thousand_weeks/ ). It's a great book if you feel…

So can someone ELI5 how bad this is? From what I'm reading this should only affect systems that use a compromised DNS server or in a MitM attack scenario. Which is serious but not …

I see, very interesting. Thank you for the reply!

Disclaimer: I have a layman's understanding (at best) of astrophysics. Couldn't this be explained by an orbiting planet colliding with another body and breaking apart? Couldn't thi…

Could you please elaborate on how you created the mirror? I have almost the same setup (Arch, Linode, nginx) and although my VPS has been rock solid so far, I would like to have so…

It's a nice presentation but are the videos available somewhere?

Not necessarily, for example your "Learn python in 10 minutes" post appears as a PR0 page, thus it won't outrank your competitors. Keep in mind that this could be just a temporal g…

Hmm that's quite longer from my past experience, but not unheard of. What troubles me is that your pages haven't disappeared completely from Google's index, e.g. if you enter "site…

Hi Stavro, how long has it been since you made the changes? I've seen a couple of times similar behavior where a site disappeared from google's results for a couple of days, after …

What about data persistence? Is it still enforced only through replication? I really liked MongoDB's philosophy but this was the show stopper for me when I was exploring it. At lea…

Stripe looks promising but based on their FAQ they are available only to US based companies/persons for now, so they are not an option I can consider, at least in the near future.

http://saasy.com claim that they have solved this problem but I haven't yet used them. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

Slightly OT: I've been looking into paypal alternatives but there really wasn't anything available, besides setting up a merchant account, for non-US businesses. Does anyone know o…

In the post you replied to I said that google could manipulate the search results to change facebook's pagerank, not dropping them entirely. Just so that results from the domain ap…

Seriously. Tweaking your search algorithms to the detriment of some providers and to the benefit of others is one thing (that Google does now, and which they won't be sued for). De…

When it comes to evilness Google has been posing as the good guy for a long time, while collecting a lot of personal information from their users in the background. Facebook, on th…

I wonder what would happen if google dropped facebook from their search results in retaliation. At least for tech-savvy users it won't pose a problem, but for the rest it will caus…
