You can fork it but not commit to it? LOL

Tragically I installed it recently on mac and it "froze up" after awhile. Chrome never freezes for me. I like FF but dislike instability. Maybe it's just me...

It's like allpeers all over again?

I assume they're using typical DMCA technique of "if nobody complains..." (and only the copyright holder can complain) ...

maybe forever.com ...

I've had count(*) queries take like literally days in Postgres. Want to insert a lot of data? Expect it to cost a lot of RAM. It's got high features but some really rough edges too :|

At least it's released at all, but yeah, not a community collab :|

Though I suppose if there are performance improvements, it might be more of a 15% pay cut, or 10% [?]

while also taking...a good while longer :)

Yes I suppose the real question is would those employees "elect" for a 6 hour day with a 25% pay cut, or not...that would give you something of a feeling for whether the benefits out weight cost, as it were...

I heard once anecdotally that google side projects are sometimes "supposed to be work related" so not quite as free as you'd imagine, FWIW...or perhaps they're not dunno never worked there.

Did you negotiate the 6-hour-day up front or just...uh...you know...work 6 hours, as it were?

I get the same effect from eating "something with cheese on top" that I do from eating sugary stuff (makes me want to eat more, makes me feel less full). I always assumed it was the lactose...

It's not clear if you're asking about solo developer or "solo company" as it were. Anyway, typically if you're doing a startup the advice is to get a partner. Then maybe you're not so solo anymore. If that's not possible, then expect to spend lotsa time on marketing instead of coding :)

It appears the (SSD) answer is "3D stacking" and I have no idea where that might end...

for images/home movies I use google photos...for the free aspect that is :)

oh yeah text field, that's an interesting option and people might even use it as an easy work around [LOL]. I guess you could make the viewable size like 1 char then it won't be much worse than inputting it from a smart phone. Except for the large screen people can see from behind you LOL.

I guess people could do self signed certs that expire in "100 years" but you're right, even installing those can be super painful, and people may not go that far. Of course, initially what people will do is "nothing" and just let the insecure message appear, since it doesn't actually block any functionality seemingly...

Interesting point that we eat too much sugar (which in turn makes us over eat at meals, and thus become obese). It's like a cultural thing though, maybe we can change it slowly somehow...

In the short term, as long as you don't have any password/CC prompts, you can continue using HTTP.

In the long term you'd have to "hope" the whole web transitions to https and just rewrite the url's to https, or cache them locally or proxy serve them locally. HTH.

Appears it should be OK unless some inline embedded images are hard coded to "http://" in which case the browser will, I believe, refuse to even try and load them, so you may need to fix that. If they're all relative you're good to go :)

The only problem is if those subdomains have a password input field "somewhere" on their sites, AFAICT. Or are you referring to google's "later" plans to add a red exclamation point "insecure" flag to the url bar for all HTTP pages?

I'll admit when I first heard of them flagging HTTP password fields, my instinct was to write a little javascript to "mimic" password input field behavior (and store the real password away somewhere else, then at submit time, it sends in the correct data). But if it's just a tiny warning on the url bar, meh, not sure if I care...

Also note that https://letsencrypt.org appears to offer free CA certs.

For anyone interested, for my "hobby" projects naming conventions, one tip/trick is that you don't have to worry about the domain name being available (just competition with the "real" domain name) if you create a subdomain using afraid.org, ex:

mydomainname.inet2.org

or what not. You can have any domain name you want including ones whose .com and .org and .net are already taken LOL. Great for side projects, free, blah blah...

I do like the part about focusing on "the next feature for your customer" though, customer centric can take you far, that's good...most/many hobby projects focus on only the next "feature for me" and never get around the marketing/polishing side of things, whereas focusing on customer-ish stuff encourages the latter, the latter being 80% of success typically overall (or get a partner to do that part, the common successful way there...)

lightsail

I like it, except for the part about "refactor later" in my mind the best way is refactor "first" so that adding your feature is "easy"...though I don't always follow my own advice with hobby projects LOL. Don't let technical debt subsume you, though, fight back eventually.

how did it get loads of traffic, from where?

wish they'd matched linode. Oh wait they have poor performance, never mind...though actually the bandwidth might be useful cost-wise still, relative to "normal" AWS bandwidth costs at least, until you reach the max, then apparently it's $0.09/GB, whereas DO is $0.02 per GB for overage (and I think they don't actually charge for it yet even LOL).

digitalocean is being attacked on all sides, interesting. Hard to believe that giant AWS is trying to imitate one of its upstart competitors...

is there a live demo some/anywhere?

do any of these ports allow playback of a video "in the browser" by chance?

My goal/wish would be that it could playback local DVD's somehow... :)

VLC also might be "more robust" (in terms of accomodating for file corruption) than your browsers' player, might provide a more "stable" experience cross browsers, or allow things like "convert that video file for me in the browser to images and show me those instead" etc. FWIW.
