I have not been a big SCP consumer over the years but I checked the book out and it was a wild ride.

They provide hosting for Wordpress blogs, and a number of their backend tools have premium versions, such as backups, etc.

I remember hearing this back in the late 90s and I came into my high school biology class and mentioned it. The teacher was kind enough not to call me a moron but he made clear he …

I wrote about this exact thing. If they gave me a Google Reader-esque product as part of their subscription service for VPN etc., it would get me to subscribe.

Agreed. It turns out the data they report from actually has that exact thing in it: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/tables/2020-... -- I believe this change rate ap…

Selfhosted FreshRSS for me

Yes, you definitely can, however running your own instance is not an out of the box process currently.

Yes! This was it, thank you

It's the equivalent of being on the tip of my tongue. I seem to recall a social network that was made as a joke that let you just do the equivalent of 'poke' your friends on it. Bu…

I don't know why I never considered using git for syncing it. I currently just use some scripts to sync to the server on laptop and on my phone.

Wow, I've had one since 2007. I've even quoted that exact line. And yet I've never actually done it and am glad I haven't.

I recently unearthed one of my old Hipster PDAs from college. It was buried in the back of a drawer. Quite the bit of nostalgia as I leafed through it.

Most of mine are one-time use or limited use. I have a few ongoing dev projects for personal use: - My smaller blog is a (poorly) written CMS that makes a static site. Almost zero …

It can, you put the video in background mode

What a blast from the past. I was just on the very tale end of BBSs but those were wild times. I remember logging into a local PC wholesaler my father worked with because their BBS…

This was a huge eye opening moment for me. I thought it was about using a deck, and I always found it less than fantastic. Now that I am making my own deck, it is far more useful.

I had to approve the update of the plugin due to the new extension for Firefox

As a programming project and a need for something to constantly fiddle with, I decided to make my own CMS that generates html files for the website. It's far from competing with Wo…

When I first read the headline, I thought it said GitHub and I was very perplexed. Realizing it is GrubHub makes much more sense and is interesting.

Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything guy) tweeted a good thread that explains this: https://twitter.com/adamconover/status/1183209875859333120

Considering he works for Twitter on their design team, he's got a pretty good eye for it

Years ago I did something kind of similar. I created my own Twitter client (never public and now defunct) but one of the features was that it would prevent one user from monopolizi…

At the time FF was still behind IE and IE hadn't really adopted extensions yet, I think. It's a bit fuzzy how we got there, this wasn't like a formal business plan and analysis, th…

I had a similar idea in college which was to take the actual traffic for pages into account for search ranking (this was before Google bought whatever Analytics had been called bef…
