You're right, I meant to summarize more along the lines that calling something multiple times doesn't cause more than one set of side effects. Unfortunately too late to edit by the time I re-read it!

I've been using a variation on this for a bit:

    (echo && date && cat) >> ~/notes.txt

Adds a newline and datestamp above each note group

In the context of software it seems like the word has pretty broadly adopted the meaning of "side-effect free". It's even made it to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence#Computer_science_m...

One notable example: Stripe's "idempotency keys": https://stripe.com/blog/idempotency

I've seen noreply@ useful/necessary in cases where the original message contained sensitive information that you wouldn't want forwarded to support staff if someone chose to reply.

Though the security justification here is limited to private APIs & native code pushing, the first few sentences of the rejection definitely seem like the "spirit" of the terms includes any significant functionality pushing at all. Wouldn't be surprised if they ramp up enforcement on that.

I've got a few things running on $3/mo Scaleway boxes. Bandwidth is unmetered and 200Mbit/sec. The only extra cost I pay for is additional storage volumes (50gb included, additional 1 euro per 50 GB/month) - other than that, dead reliable and all inclusive.

Minifying HTML, JS, CSS is a common practice

In fact, in direct contradiction:

> Instead, the US has used its remaining power over DNS to shift control to Icann, not the UN.

One of the more interesting references linked here was https://github.com/neuroradiology/InsideReCaptcha — apparently the reCAPTCHA JavaScript snippet uses an encrypted bytecode format running on a custom-built VM, which one intrepid person has decompiled.

Re: Remote opportunities - We are super interested in hiring great people who can't move to SF. We believe our processes can support remote work, but we understand this is a hard thing for us to assert with confidence. That said, we are extremely interested in building remote-work processes that scale - let's talk!

Not looking, but based in SF? You might be interested in our lunchtime tech talks - send a note to burke+talks@shyp.com to get on the list.

Update: I've received tons of inbounds, thanks for everyone's interest! We're not taking new applicants for freelance positions, but:

If you're interested in a full-time role doing similar frontend work, we're hiring! Feel free to apply at our job site [1] or email me at the address above.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Shyp | San Francisco, CA (Remote OK)

Shyp is using a combination of technology, logistics, and outstanding customer service to make it easy for people and businesses to send things to each other.

We're looking for a front-end developer for a web project (7-8 static pages) that we're working on.

Qualifications:

- Extensive experience building responsive websites

- A sharp eye and attention to detail

- Thorough knowledge of HTML5 & CSS3, comfortable working with vanilla JavaScript

Timeline: We'll have finalized designs by August 14 and would like to ship the project by September 7.

Contact: dylan@shyp.com

The README refers to an "examples" repository at https://github.com/Famous/examples - it's not accessible right now, but presumably will be shortly.

Just a heads up, there's already a handful of private staging/demo server URLs @ http://dotheyusenode.herokuapp.com/cache - you may want to reconsider exposing that for the publicly available instance.

iAlertU does this, unfortunately too many false positives that I had to stop using it.

As far as I can tell, the BLE radio in Coin is only used for detecting location, and doesn't expose any card details in any form.

For the interested: Jan Paul Posma has done some really awesome stuff with similar inspirations at jsdares (http://www.jsdares.com/) — try dragging around some of the variables in the brick game.

We're working on that problem at Versal (http://versal.com)

Didn't see this one on the list - while Command+Tabbing, if you hold down Option while letting go of Command at the end, you'll open a new window in the specified application if it currently doesn't have any open.

It might sound confusing, but it's quite useful if you've closed all the windows of a given app but still have it running.

It's super fast and enticing to triage emails immediately rather than letting them gather dust in your inbox. Not much in the way of revolutionary features, but it definitely makes the entire workflow noticeably smoother.

If the resultant crowd cancels the concert for everybody? Yeah, probably.

Fixed, thanks :)

Not sure why, but Chrome/Safari are misinterpreting this gzip as a file, thus forcing a download (and there's no Content-Disposition header that I can see). Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, should have mentioned this, definitely a sensible idea - I believe this specific snippet is taken from HTML5 boilerplate. Google is blocked in some countries!

Possibly a good time for a reminder, folks: It's worth checking that if you're hotlinking to jQuery, it's the Google Hosted Libraries version.[1]

It looks like code.jquery.com survived whatever the present situation is (otherwise a big chunk of the 'net would be finding out right about now), but it's been made clear for a while [2] that use of the code.jquery.com/* URLs isn't encouraged.

Hey, thanks for the tip. We had some last-minute changes that our CDN took a while to propagate; it should be fixed now though. Let me know if you find any other issues.

Is this using PhantomJS?
