my8bird··on Ask HN: MacBook Pro still preferred laptop for non-MS development?
sager quad core, 4gig ram, 500 gig hard drive. that was three years ago and my next will be a sager also as the to power/cost ratio is great. with Ubuntu on it things hum beautifully. having the extra cores is great so that I can builds, watchrs, and a movie all running why working.
my8bird··on Make Your Email Hacker Proof
While I like 2 step authentication I wish Google would get rid of SMS password reset. With this enabled all a person needs is your phone to gain access to your account. Given that police can grab you phone whenever you are stopped this means they can "hack" your account at the same time. Another example could be a cleaning person at a hotel finding your phone. Just two examples off the top of my head. Basically, SMS password reset makes your phone the golden key.

while this was a good response to their security issue a little heads up would have been good. they broke all of our auto builds and by the time we figured it out the guy who's key was used for the builds was gone on his vacation. luckily, we got ahold of him prior to him turning his phone off.
my8bird··on Is it bootstrap?
I keep seeing people post their dislike for "bootstrap" sites so here is one that I think changes the base styling enough to be "not another bootstrap" site.
my8bird··on A caffeine driven, simplistic approach to benchmarking Node.js code.
I wrote timeit for this exact reason. It is based on python package.

my8bird··on Dropbox flagged as unsafe by IE
maybe dropbox should run security checks on uploaded content that goes in the public folder. if they are going to host it they should make sure it's safe.

of course this makes an assumption about why IE flagged Dropbox.

my8bird··on "Don't make my eyes bleed" as a responsive website
utter failure in mobile safari
my8bird··on Donatello, a pure CSS drawing library
