rotation1··on Rails Rumble Winners - Gem Teardown
Seeing it listed in this way reminds me of all the moving parts in actually getting an app online.

I'm glad I finally (mostly) have a grip on it all but boy did it take a while.

rotation1··on Why You Should Start Using a VPN
Yes that or cash in the mail might be reasonable options for paying.

I guess my problem is more that you are trusting an overall unknown entity with your real ip, which is only one step away from your real info for someone who is able to compel that information from the VPN provider in the first place.

rotation1··on Why You Should Start Using a VPN
This is my big problem with wanting to use a VPN.

The VPN account is directly tied to you by your payment details. Also most VPN services that claim to "not keep any logs whatsoever" are just a 3 page website with not much information. Maybe that's safer since they are low profile, or maybe it isn't? I honestly have no idea and I wish I did.

It feels like your just trusting some random person to not mess with you.

rotation1··on Nginx and Lua
Bit off topic but you might want to 301 redirect to the right page instead of just disallowing search engines on your subdomains. This way if someone links to the wrong page you will still get the link juice.

I might have misunderstood that first bit though, since it looks like you do redirect anyway.

rotation1··on Report: 40 percent of mobile ad clicks are fraud or accidents
I don't think this would surprise anyone who has seen how mobile ads are implemented, especially in games.

What would be more surprising is if the accidental rate isn't actually much higher than reported here.

rotation1··on NightPro.co a SaaS for the nightlife industry launches out of Miami Fl.
I actually think the design is great, and the target market won't recognize it.

I don't own a nightclub so I can't comment on the feature set, but maybe a live demo or tour would help convey the value better?

The pricing page to me is extremely confusing. I think you just need to clear up what the free plan actually is, basically $50 per event?

rotation1··on Vim and Vi Tips: Essential Vim and Vi Editor Skills, free on Amazon today only
Yes it's almost surprising the first few times you do it. I find myself thinking "wait, which card did that just go on?"

You can get a refund within 7 days though if you do click by accident.

rotation1··on Try Haxe
A problem I have had with these frameworks is that they all sound great on the surface but when you start using them you run into issues or missing features that are important to you and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it.

Haxe does look great and for this particular case I wonder how Haxe NME's performance compares to the lua frameworks like Corona and Gideros for mobile development specifically.
