dangayle··on Show HN: Hipster Domain Finder
Thanks for that. Good information to know.
dangayle··on Show HN: Hipster Domain Finder
Speaking as a reformed SEO nerd, Google does take it into account as part of their overall rankings, but by no means does that mean that your site will tank. They also know that your site is in English and that all the links are coming from English domains, etc.

Please source this. Plenty of popular domains using ccTLDs rank just fine.

dangayle··on My Experiment Opting Out of Big Data Made Me Look Like a Criminal
Yeah, I had a hard enough time getting family to update their passwords after Heartbleed.
dangayle··on My Experiment Opting Out of Big Data Made Me Look Like a Criminal
Ghostery phones home, doesn't it?
dangayle··on My Experiment Opting Out of Big Data Made Me Look Like a Criminal
Fantastic story. I've been wondering if there is a truly private, easy to use chat. Something cryptographically secure, but easy enough that I could get other family members and friends to use it.
dangayle··on Introducing Anonymous Login and an Updated Facebook Login
Hmm. Hadn't thought about that. Good point.
dangayle··on Burying the URL
I want to swear so badly. Removing URLs?
dangayle··on Introducing Anonymous Login and an Updated Facebook Login
Django did update their auth app, it's very flexible now
dangayle··on Mail-in-a-box: easy to set up modern SMTP/SMTPS server stack
I love Mailgun and use it for every project that needs to send out email, but you have to admit it doesn't address the OP's purpose: To decentralize and own your own email
dangayle··on The New Linode Cloud: SSDs, Double RAM and much more
Sorry, it was $5 per 90MB. Forgot to add the 90
dangayle··on The New Linode Cloud: SSDs, Double RAM and much more
What? With Linode you can easily add more ram. It's an awful deal ($5 per MB), but you can do it if you really needed.
dangayle··on NSA Said to Exploit Heartbleed Bug for Intelligence for Years
That doesn't give me, as a user, much comfort. But I can see your point from a corporate standpoint.

This whole things just sucks.

dangayle··on NSA Said to Exploit Heartbleed Bug for Intelligence for Years
I don't see how that protects the people whose data was stolen.

"Here's the license plate number and home address of the guy who just ran over your grandma. Sorry for your loss."

dangayle··on OpenBSD disables Heartbeat in libssl, questions IETF
Hmm. Why does it say Dual-Licensed in the description?
dangayle··on Drop Dropbox
I would honestly prefer people to have a set standard, e.g., Should I drop a nuclear bomb? No. Never. Under any circumstances. Whether I agree with that standard is another matter altogether, but having a solid measuring line is significantly more reassuring than a flip-floppy wet noodle.

I agree that no two situations are alike, but principles by definition should still guide the decision making process.

dangayle··on 'Heartbleed' contributor denies he inserted it deliberately
>> Maybe next time people will spend a little less time designing a logo and a little more time doing things that actually help (though that's a wish and what I expect is the exact opposite).

So you want the graphic designers contributing to crypto code?

As someone who is a mid level programmer but a decent/good designer, the only way I'm able to contribute to some projects is through things like logos.

Don't use this straw man argument to make your point, which is otherwise valid.

dangayle··on Drop Dropbox
But Guido van Rossum works for Dropbox, are we supposed to not support Guido?

These witch hunts hurt a lot of people, much more than the single figurehead that everyone get all up in arms over.

dangayle··on Drop Dropbox
Situational morality is really not morality at all.
dangayle··on OkCupid urges users to abandon Firefox
This is ridiculous. If we started boycotting every company based on our disagreements with their CEOs beliefs, we'd have to eventually boycott everyone.
dangayle··on Tesla Adds Titanium Underbody Shield and Aluminum Deflector Plates to Model S
If you went with the 60 kWh Model S, your payment would only go up $130, INCLUDING gas. If you're spending $350 a month in gas, you'd actually save money over your Infinity.

dangayle··on Tesla Adds Titanium Underbody Shield and Aluminum Deflector Plates to Model S
Teslas aren't exceedingly expensive. They're not cheap, but they're not iPod vs Amazon MP3 expensive.
dangayle··on Tesla Adds Titanium Underbody Shield and Aluminum Deflector Plates to Model S
You can't just take a snipe at that whole thing without explaining what you mean. It's a crazy car crash. Here's the Yahoo news story about it:

dangayle··on Show HN: A dead simple static site generator – just two template tags
I like this very much. I used to do very similar with PHP, but I'm now a Python dev. Sometimes, just sometimes, writing plain old simple html is easier, and having a basic include would save a ton of heartache for maintenance.
dangayle··on JsDelivr – The advanced open source public CDN
HOw is this different from cdn.js? I already use that, and it too is on Cloudfare.
dangayle··on A JSON field type for Django
You should also get this up on Github quick :)
dangayle··on A JSON field type for Django
The second you make it easy to query this, I'm dumping mongodb as my go to quick hack json store. Having one datastore > multiple datastores
dangayle··on Grid Style Sheets – CSS polyfills from the future
I don't see anywhere that discusses browser compatibility. If I can't use it on anything but bleeding edge browsers, it will be a long time before I can even think about something like this.
dangayle··on Grid Style Sheets – CSS polyfills from the future
> Because the web is meant for documents first, not applications.

Where have you been for the past decade? The web is the world's largest app platform, and it's not going away any time soon.

dangayle··on Dark spot under cockpit of A-10s
Whoa. Cool.
dangayle··on Clear Sans
This image I made back in 2009 illustrates perfectly why having limited serifs in a sans-serif typeface can increase comprehension:
