purephase

I had the same thing happen. I had a contractor working for me for about a year who, when we decided to not renew his contract, took all of the code that I'd been building for the past 6 years and offered a nice little side business to clients in his area.

I found out because he kept emailing me with support related questions whenever he'd run into issues with it.

Higher Ed is a whole different fish and the competitors in that space have resources. I wish you all the luck in the world. I'd love to help out but nowhere near SF!

I thought the 2014 Technology Roadmap [1] was an interesting read. For an organization as "young" as Netflix, I was surprised by the technology debts that they've accumulated and the aggressive tone that they've set to transition.

I think it's amazing the decisions that get made with explosive growth/hiring that end-up on roadmaps that read similarly to organizations that have been around much longer.

There's no criticism here. I think Netflix is an amazing company and it is the this sort of strategic vision (and the openess of both it and the organization overall) that reminds me that we're all on this rocky ship together and it's amazing that any of it works sometimes.

I was bitten by this yesterday and I didn't know WTH was up. This is good to know. I had two or three package installs work flawlessly and then they started failing randomly across servers (all staging, so it wasn't that big of an issue).

I think Rob's comment sums up my feelings. A bit more aggressively, but the same gist.

It's definitely slick. While comparisons with ST are obvious, I find it a touch more polished. One example is that the "find all" results page is automatically updated whenever you modify the results. So, if you replacing a bunch of text, the results are updated in real-time each time the files are saved.

Two gripes that I have so far are:

- The actual integration with GH does not work for me. E.g. Git blame does nothing. I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot yet.

- I can't open files (or even see them) if they're in .gitignore. I can't figure out how to turn this off.

All in all though, I like it so far. I'm excited that the community seems to have hopped on it so quickly with packages so it will be interesting to see where it goes.

You can.

I'm in the market to move off iOS, but still pretty unimpressed with Android hardware. I'm not sure why these phones have to be so large.

Maybe the HTC One 2 (or whatever it will be called) will get it right for me.

Having worked in higher ed for a number of years, I'm frankly surprised that this doesn't happen more often. At least, to the level of being reported like this.

Faculties regularly operate independently and have their own ideas about the proper way to secure the information they have access to (which, in some cases, is not at all). As a security representative in the central IT department, I was often tasked with finding, reporting and attempting to work with the various faculties that did not follow posted data access and privacy policies but, almost every time my efforts were superseded by "academic freedom".

Incredibly frustrating experience.

I'm surprised at the www supporters. Do not do this. Down the road, you will want to use subdomains (app.example.com, dashboard.example.com) and choosing www out of the gate will make it more complicated then it's worth. If HTTPS is required, then a certificate with www will always get in the way, get a non-www and add a subject alternative name, or get a wildcard.

It is much, much easier to redirect all non-www traffic to www if a subdomain is not specified then otherwise and a wildcard or SAN-enabled certificate will make it much more flexible in the future.

I closed my Paypal account after the whole Wikileaks fiasco. I was expecting to be a burden, but it really hasn't been at all.

Very handy, but probably better titled "Free Tools for Web Designers".

There's a few on there that I've never heard of that I would try out when starting my next project.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm struggling with the same right now. I'm not sure how to bring it up yet, but while my daughter is vaccinated, I would prefer to limit her exposure to non-vaccinated children.

Another vote for The Tangled Web. It's a great read.

This is excellent, thanks for sharing.

What do you use to ship the logs into ES? I'm not familiar with the technologies you're using, but is this in-sourced developed tools? Or, are there OS options for log aggregating in ES that you would recommend?

Very nice. I like the idea of tying logs to users like that.

Seems like there would be a lot of overhead for that amount of logging though. Could you elaborate a bit more on how it all works? Do you run an internally developed mixpanel/GA type tool? Or, is this server side logging (the JS issue speaks otherwise).

I have tried to use Terminal, but I just can't. The ability to highlight and automatically have the text in clipboard is such a crucial feature in my workflow that not having it even as an option is a deal breaker.

Once I started with iTerm and built a config/flow around it, I can't go back.

Thanks for the tip though! I didn't realize this worked in Terminal too. I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm forced to use it.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check this out.

I used mailcatcher. It's pretty awesome for this stuff, but glad to see it in core.

Not at all related to the post and/or content, but that domain name is awesome.

I'm really surprised by the naysayers in this thread. Mozilla is a not-for-profit. The largest and most influential when it comes to action on the web given their footprint directly in-front of the users.

You're complaining about lack of some edge-css features, silly bugs that have been open for a long time, and the fact that they may be chasing down some avenues that yield little fruit.

But, the web I envision without them is one that I do not want any part of. While I switched and used Chrome (for the tools), lately, the only browser vendor that I trust is Mozilla. I switched back to FF, donated, and decided to start dipping into their code/docs to see if I can help out.

While certainly not perfect, they are the company that we should be supporting. Not necessarily financially, but by being advocates, code/doc junkies and designers.

Here's to Mozilla and here's to 2014. Congrats!

Same here. The ones we've managed to snag have been great, but it has made it difficult to scale out in a few situations when they haven't had the capacity.

I just moved to Ottawa a few weeks. Any advice on finding out more about the local dev meetups?

It's too bad I just missed out on that humanitarian hack-a-thon. Sounds like it would have been fun and worthwhile.

I agree. What's the point of internal DNS entries being disclosed? I highly doubt they're routable externally and I imagine Gmail uses internal DNS as it is also the email system used by the company (I've heard there are pockets of Exchange there though, no sure how true that is).

Most MXs use internal and external DNS to prevent routing internal emails to the big bad internet unnecessarily.

It's Adam Curtis. This is what he does.

Loved the tomato firmware. Bought a Netgear R6300 with the hopes that it would be supported. Looks like it will never happen. Regret that decision.

I find it interesting that DHH dismissed this out-of-hand given Egor's history with Rails. In his tweets he highlights some pretty large Rails projects that impact a lot of users/sites.

I know a few of my own are affected by this.

In my experience, design/UX needs will always trump dev/ops. I don't see this changing in the near future. I think we need to figure out ways to make browsers and/or delivery improve instead.

The scrolling issue is very annoying. Sounds more like a Chrome issue though as other apps appear to be okay.
