What do you suggest?

But not client-side. Still, better to just do a DNS lookup (not rate-limited) than WHOIS.

I did this too and it was great. Then, one day, I wanted wifi. (I've been warned away from HostAP.)

I think his gripe is that he couldn't see the blog post because their site did some browser detection and took him to the mobile version.

You can minify without caching.

I don't think that follows from what he said.

Then you would just have two attack vectors; compromise either of the private keys and you can be the MITM.

So did Honest Achmed, but he got shut down. https://bugzil.la/647959

Using Gmail in mutt directly over IMAP is sloooow. It's a bit more work to set up something like OfflineIMAP, fdm, or something else.

I think this statement requires further explanation.

"rapidly stabilizing"

Javascript was never really designed, but look how that ended up.

Yes. Your home internet connection is not nearly as reliable as a datacenter's. (Also, you have guests over and the 5 year old unplugs the machine. Your home catches on fire or, worse, you decide to move to another city.)

A bit off topic here, but I feel that this is a terrible metric.

The reason it's impossible to find answers for how to fix problem X in Windows (besides it being terribly designed) is that there are a ton of users who are trying to be helpful and providing bad advice.

Googling for solutions to an Ubuntu problem is starting to look grim too. Read some bug reports on Launchpad and then read some on the Debian bug tracker; there's a clear difference in signal/noise.

Circling back to the original point: if a web framework is simple, you can figure out the problem by just reading the code rather than looking online for solutions (many of which are in the form "oh, framework Y automatically does Z for you so you have to...").

I am also rather annoyed at issuu. If these were all in one PDF file, this would be much easier to consume.

I think he's referring to the bit about not contacting companies who don't work with recruiters since they don't value your services.

Name something you use that you think doesn't have a vi-like interface.

What's the history of that?

What would you suggest as an alternative?

Could you elaborate on the loader code bug?

This sounds a lot like what I started reading at LessWrong: http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/

One line that particularly stuck with me is: "Dragging a modern-day student through all this may be a historically realistic approach to the subject matter, but it also ensures the historically realistic outcome of total bewilderment. Talking to aspiring young physicists about 'wave/particle duality' is like starting chemistry students on the Four Elements."

There's quite a big difference between "no reason" and "lousy tradeoff."

Based on the post, it doesn't sound like he stuck around and fixed it.

At Mixpanel, we use http://www.exceptionhub.com/. Much better tracebacks and filtering of useless errors. Tracking of related errors and of browser, referrer, etc. window.onerror is unfortunately lacking in the information it provides. On the other hand, EH is not a free service and it's cool to see creative uses for Mixpanel :D.

Allowing cycles in your graph is confusing. If a user visits pages A -> B -> C -> A, what is the dropoff between A and B?

"For example, why not run the disk performance sensitive DB server on a dedicated machine, while fronting the whole arrangement with proxies and app-servers hosted in the cloud?"

That's actually exactly what we do:

"We’ve moved 100% of our machines that rely upon performant disks to dedicated servers hosted at Softlayer. Roughly speaking, this corresponds to about 80% of our hosting costs."

Yes, you can export your data: http://mixpanel.com/api/docs/guides/api/v2

Could you provide some numbers about this claim?
