Idea for gh: It will be a nice feature categories or even tags for repos. I would like to see a similar list for databases for example, or even relational database, blog engines, etc.

I moved four months ago from a very crowded city to an small town in the province of Córdoba, Argentina called Mendiolaza. We have beautiful landscapes and it is near (25kms) the big city.

I am a software developer like you and I work from home for a company based on Seattle.

Anyway I am not here to convince you to move to this city in particular but please consider low populated areas with green spaces.

This move has changed the life of my two kids, they went from being all day in their rooms playing with ipad, videogames etc to play outside, riding bikes, climbing trees, etc. Each one have like 10 friends they see every day. I feel they have more self-confidence since they can go outside alone for hours.

It has affected me as well, everything seems to be faster in an small town. There isn't queues when you go buy something, the services are better. Example the car wash in this town will pick up my car, wash it and bring it home. If I ask for a pediatrician home visit, the doctor will be in my front door 30 minutes after I call, compared to 4 hours. There are less places for food than in the big city, but it is more handmade and better.

The people is friendlier and there is honesty and trust among the neighbors. First time I went to buy something I ran out of cash and they didn't have debit/credit, the owner say "no problem, pay me tomorrow" even if I insisted to cancel the operation.

It took me a while to found a good internet service, I tried 3. Right now I have a 20M connection.

Anyway I think it has been the best decision I made in 2016. I am very happy to live here.

Agree! I think in this case these drawing have a lot of implementation details. It is actually the pattern table, the palette etc.

Prod owner of a capsele too. I didnt have Legos when I was a kid but loved so much my capsela.

I wrote a blogpost about it and the positive effect on my career:

Even before bsdiff and this new file-by-file patching mechanism I find Android updates much faster than iOS. I don't know if iOS updates are just bigger becuase application are bigger, or is just that apple has a worst CDN (I live in Argentina).

She goes for Spain Spanish, you can notice this because most S sound like Z and she says something like "pues" (which is commonly used in spain). The last sentence she says something like "a huevo cabron" with spain accent but the expression itself is very mexican.

It is not the point of markdown, in fact any html tag is valid in markdown if you read the original description [1].

Github does strip some tags for security reasons like <script>. Some of the parsers I have seen offer this feature.

It will be nice to have a list with all steps at the end

I have a <firstletter><lastname>, my lastname is very uncommon but it turns out that someone in another country has the same first name and last name and you can get my email by googling my name. So, I have received few emails for him and kindly replied that I wasn't him.

Not the mention inconsistency in commands, examples of how to remove something:

  git remote rm foobar

But for branches

  git branch -d my_branch

But for remote branches is :

  git push origin :my_branch

Serious question, whats the difference between executable lua and executable json regarding apple restrictions?

We have this in Argentina, at least where I live is called Boliche. I think is the same game after reading the rules, main difference is that the ball is smaller and maybe heavier without holes for fingers and you have three per frame instead of two as in the other bowling . Pin setters are common

It reminds me the "Postmodernism Generator"

I have a Samsung ML-2165W, which is a wifi printer and every time I want to print something is a pain regardless if I am on Windows, Mac or Linux. It does a decent job when it works, but the software is a crap.

If I run out of paper, there is no way to resume nor cancel, and if there is a way I am sure it doesn't work.

I hope they improve all the drivers and firmware.

You can run a dnsmasq locally with "--stop-dns-rebind".

I have this enabled on my router.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this one is that archaic.

I remember this one from high school (1999/2000). Is "verseno" (Spanish).

This annoys me few times 7 years ago, and I never searched the reason :)

I remember I was maintaining few vb6 applications and I often tried to create a "con.udl" file just to trigger the wizard and windows just complained with an error that didn't make any sense. So, I started to use conn.udl.

A bit late, but is good to know.

Disclaimer: I work for Auth0.

I couldn't agree more with this comment.

Storing username and passwords is really hard. Using a secure hashing alg is trivial compared to other time consuming problems like handling brute force attacks or other kind of anomalies like a distributed attack trying to use a db of leaked email and passwords from other services.

Agree, also check out credstash[0], a very good and secure solution if you are running on AWS. Credstash is an small utility that encrypt with KMS and store the ciphertext of the datakey and secret on Dynamodb.

I configure my application roles to be able to decrypt with the master key and I restrict what ciphertext they can read from Dynamodb.

This link was working for me before but not know maybe they shrunk the video. This does work https://youtu.be/7pUAydjne5M?t

I am moving away from mandrill for other reasons but luckily I only have to change configuration. We used nodemailer which is node lib abstracting many mail providers, smtp, aws ses, mandrill, sendgrid, etc.

Note: you can use apt-get install npm and npm to install phantomjs which is not a node.js program but for some reason is on npm, or you can just rent an entire AWS region to compile phantomjs from sources in your preferred linux distribution.

As far as I know netflix has an open appliance for ISP [1] (internet service providers). I think most of the ISP will care about this when the usage increase, because it will reduce the upstream bandwitch usage.

I haven't dig into it but I am pretty sure that even here in Argentina, ISP are using this thing, because it works incredible fast for HD content. Youtube might use something similar.

Node has this too : nave, npm and n. But using these tools means that you are not longer using the package manager of the system and this can be a problem sometimes. Eg you need to open your firewall to something else that it is not the standard pkg manager.

I see docker as a valid attempt to fix limitations of existing and broken package system (eg: apt) at a price that I am not yet willing to pay.

Great article. Do you use this same technique in other areas instead of servers/metrics to detect for instance bad behaving users or applications?

Never tried a G model but Moto X is the best phone I ever had. The 1gen is about 140 usd unlocked in amazon and it runs lollipop flawless and in some specs is superior to current iPhone not to mention that the software feels quite better.

I also think that the apps bundled by Motorola to android where all excellent. The first time I actually didn't want to uninstall these kind of thing.

I hope Motorola continue to produce things with this quality level.

Yes and without going that far in time XAML, WPF or silverlight

Please don't get me wrong I'll love to use openresty, I love nginx, etc. But there are other reasons to use node: ecosystem and npm.

Try searching a driver for a not so popular db on npm and you might find two different implementations in addition to the official driver.

I'd love to see something like this on openresty.

It is true and I dont like this either but I still prefer working on OS X than windows because in windows I cant use most of the tools I use and than linux because of the pain of running linux on desktop.

OS X is a nix that works well on a very specific puece of hardware. I am not wasting my time and sanity fixing some driver compatibility issue.

I'm a software developer who likes to read conde but I must confese something when i'm watching a sci-fi movie and some computer stuff/hack is shown I do not pay much attention to that specific detail, I really like to believe the lie of the movie.

I really enjoy to read these blogpost after the fact, about these easter eggs and how someone figure out what is the conde shown and how unrelated to the scene it is, but I don't do it during the movie just because I don't feel the urge.
