While Philadelphia can have its share of Broad Street Bullies it is a good city. Glad to see some of the makers and roboticists here were willing to lend a helping hand.

Thanks, that did the trick.

So I used this site to check my server and then used the Mozilla SSL config generator. This fixed my site and got me to an "A" rating.

So at this point the biggest thing I'm looking at is the "Chain issues" line that reads "Contains anchor". Assuming this has something to do with the bundle file I created?

It seems like MySQL 5.7 will start to have better GIS support. Though that is still a development release at this point. Hopefully if Amazon tries to maintain compatibility, native GIS support may eventually arrive.

For all the problems Google+ had, the one that irked me the most was not being all to merge/linked Google accounts. I had a gmail account and a Google Apps for Work account. Every time I would try to associate the 2nd email, I would get "is already associated with another Google Account" as the error. Even though I deleted the Google+ account on the 2nd email. Then somehow I would created a Google+ account again.

I just as soon forget about it, but I'd like to have the google voice messages go to the Google Apps for Work email.

I tend to agree that Gulp is better than Grunt. I prefer the code over configuration approach Gulp takes. The other benefits is that Gulp is streams based and will save you a lot of disk I/O over Grunt.

This a good overview of some popular tools for JavaScript development.

The thing that gets me about modern JavaScript development is the amount of modules you download to build your code. Currently I'm going through a PluralSights course for Gulp.js. Just to help me build and test my code, over 240MB of modules were downloaded. I'm starting to understand the benefits of all those modules. The thing that gets me is that the process makes you download all those modules again for the next project.

I had a ReadyNAS NV before they were bought by Netgear and though it was good. Unfortunately, I had more drives fail in the ReadyNAS than the computers I was making backups from. As time went on it became hard to find drives that were on the compatibility list.

I don't think so since the pro rata wasn't in their "standard investment documents". Thus YC doesn't have a clause that allow them maintain their 7% in future funding rounds. Trying to maintain 7% on previous YC alumni, may caused the mixed signals they are trying to avoid with this change.

Question about JavaScript and CDN for mobile devices. Should I use a CDN for standard libraries or should I just concat and minify all my JavaScript?

The concat and minify seems better as that reduces the JavaScript libraries and code load to a single HTTP request.

A CDN seems nice in theory. Reality is: Does the browser have the library cached? Is the library cached from the CDN that I'm using? The browser is making more HTTP requests, which sometimes takes more time to request than to download the library.

I agree that using CDNs is a good speed boost. I'm trying to figure out if hoping for a library cache hit out weights a library cache miss.

This comment on Bill Gates net worth reminded me of this Neil deGrasse Tyson video: https://youtu.be/B2inExgT77s

Maybe key value pairs in json?

How do you think this idea would combine with the Pinterest 7 year stock option idea? Both seem like good ideas that benefit the employees.

I assume that the Progressive equity would only be applicable to current employees of the startup.

Thanks. I have to give your service a test drive later this week.

Any idea how Netlify would work with an Angular single page app? I had a site hosted on S3 and ran into SEO problems because I could only configure S3 to do a redirect instead of a rewrite. The redirect caused the googlebot to drop the part of the URL and end up at the default route.

It seems to be getting harder to run the older versions of Photoshop on newer versions of OSX. Photoshop didn't like the migration from my MacBook to a MacBook Pro. I tried to reinstall from the disc for CS3, but I can't get the installer to run. I'd don't feel like renting it, so starting to look for new options.

If the accelerator doesn't provide any seed funding, then I agree with the gist of this article. I thought that accelerators had seed funding as part of the normal set of benefits in exchange for equity in your startup. With no funding the accelerator doesn't really have any skin in the game and are playing you like a lottery ticket.

The porn sites are classified as "high risk" because the banks believe/know that type of business has above average chargebacks. Apparently banks want to keep their chargebacks to a minimum.

I know some people don't think hosting a website on S3 is a good idea. I'm going with it as it allows me to iterate my website faster. Since I'm trying use ELB to load balance, I have an AMI with my API code on it. If the website were on the AMI, then I'd have to spend time creating a new AMI when the website changes. That takes way more time then pushing the code to an S3 bucket.

My only issue with the S3 hosting is figuring out how to get the googlebot to crawl my website.

Does anyone have an idea for some of Recki-CT's use cases? I get that compiled PHP will be faster. This seems useful for PHP scripts you would run from the command line. Using the resulting binary as a CGI with Apache would incur the fork/exec cost that the PHP module avoided.

This project looks interesting, but the source code looks to be for Visual Studio. Which would limit the DIY option to windows users. They do offer a SaaS option which could run costs even higher.

You can get a free VM from MS to test under IE at https://modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools

On the mac, they are support VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallells.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it, but will hold off on making a switch.

I've been using Vagrant/Virtual to run Ubuntu LTS for my Javascript dev env. Does it make sense switch to CoreOS? I generally run it as a headless server. No X-windows or GUI needed.

Angular's data binding is nice and has sold me on using that framework. As fairly point out in the blog post it can slow down the browser with to many DOM updates. This looks like a decent solution to have the DOM update when you want them to happen as opposed constantly with Angular. Generally this only problematic when you have a large amount of data being rendered on the page.

I'm a person that still wears a watch and the effort that goes into hand crafted watches amaze me. These are definitely out of my price range.

grunt is the build tool for the Angular.js side of things. It is doing a lot of other html front end stuff to make the SPA.

Also grunt has a watch process that see code changes, it will then compile them and have the server get the browser to reload content to get the new version.

When this gets deployed to your production server, you will probably use the same server process that handles the Rails requests. grunt is for development only.

Currently all I'm seeing is a Java Basics. No other info about the other programming. Let me know when you get more content up.

I found my birthday if I used MMDDYYY, but it didn't find it for YYYYMMDD. I tend to use the latter format when I'm date stamping files.

I wonder if they had to pay or if Apple decided to include of free in our post Snowden era.

A couple of years ago, I was at a ddg hackathon when inclusion came up. I believe they mentioned that it was on the order of a 7 digit number to be include in the list of search engine. Regardless of how much it was, they couldn't justify spending that much money on being include in Apple devices.
