If you’ve been reading startup blogs for years and never started anything, it’s time to accept that your tendency is to be a consumer. Rob Walling An article worth reading, as well as the result of the case study by Matt Jaynes with him dealing with C2P ratio. Consuming for the pure love of learning is absolutely ok. Producing purely because you have a fire that won’t die until you do is fine, too....
Project Soli page: The Soli sensor can track sub-millimeter motions at high speed and accuracy. It fits onto a chip, can be produced at scale, and can be used inside even small wearable devices. An update from TechCrunch on 2016 research results: Soli has a new trick up its sleeve thanks to researchers at Scotland’s University of St. Andrews (via The Verge) – it can now identify objects, using radar to determine both the exterior shape and internal structure of whatever it’s sensing to tell you what the thing is....
Going through some of the web studios on the island, I was amazed on skyscraping prices on domain registrations. .com/.net/.org TLD’s for over 13 EUR. I just got couple of questions to those who actually do the reselling of these services: Under which contact name the domains will be registered? What about VAT? Over 5 EUR overprice, do you really think that customers won’t find which service you use to register the domains cheaper than your offer?...
Ah, it’s just one of those days! It seems that I can wail about this topic in non-stop mode. Why do people overcomplicate problem domain with sophisticated solution. Have you tried to read what you wrote the day after? A week after? No? Then, read it, and try to guess what you’ve been trying to achieve! And at the meantime, read this Programmers Stackexchange topic on Code Elegance. Not enough?...
This tweet had to land here without any doubts, as those who maintained open-source projects know the drill. Bored with your free time? Had enough of people being nice to you? Masochist? Maintain a popular open source project. — I Am Devloper (@iamdevloper) January 27, 2015 In case this tweet disappears, or something happens in far far future:
Vimeo user MorskoiKotik summed up all the movies from 80s we grew up upon in this video: Back in Future Terminator Predator Lethal Weapon Die Hard Cobra. That is truly an old school gathered here. Plus, everything is themed with synth pop/new wave tunes from “Dance of the Dead”. https://open.spotify.com/artist/2KtnZQwMQJN3uyI8eHZRvm?si=ifo9e8hjSg-8WLtRLHfCIg Dance with the Dead artist on Spotify
After few trials, I finally decided to publish some information on a small add-on I’ve been working on a month ago for WHMCS platform. Domain Blocker add-on emerged from attempts of cutting down the number of phishing domain registrations, that’s been received on daily basis for the last couple of months. It uses CartValidation hooks that prevent any domain registrations that use “offensive”/“blacklisted” words, and tiny eye-candy for the backend with Twitter Bootstrap v2....
Big cleaning Fridays - time of the week when the number of “wtf’s/hour” drastically increases. I had to dive into some of the projects that been aside of my daily working routine for a while, and just to refresh the notion of what’s been going on up there, I’ve fired git log on the repository. Oh, how I hate commit messages like ‘minor fixture for …’ and ‘fixed typo for …’!...
Of course I’m happy Microsoft is creating an evergreen, standards-based browser unencumbered by legacy rot. But the truth is I don’t care. Brad Frost Great article from Brad Frost on Browsers and attitude towards all these devices mess.
I think I bought already all the singles from Jakwob. This guys is a real talent! Singles like “Fade”, “Electrify”, “Somebody New”. This one just keeps playing on repeat for few days already:
