shedside | 2 years ago | on: Czech republic sets IPv4 end date
FWIW, I'd love to see a blog post or similar that would lead me through the steps to do precisely this – including the nginx config.
shedside | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: I'm a doctor and made a responsive breathing app for stress and anxiety
Minor bit of feedback: the camera framing part of the intro process wanted me to move so close to my phone (only a few inches from my face) that I could no longer comfortably read the screen. Perhaps I have a small head.
shedside | 3 years ago | on: Safari is released to the world (2013)
The YouTube link in the article is dead now, but here's another video of the full presentation:
https://youtu.be/gPyrzvI7Mlc?t=3240
It's fascinating to see just how much new stuff was unveiled.
shedside | 3 years ago | on: What's new in Svelte: November 2022
I work at AttendZen -- our product is built using Svelte, but our marketing website (currently) isn't. I'll investigate to see what may have caused a slowdown here, but it's definitely not down to Svelte.

I'm in exactly the same boat. It's such a shame that AFAIK nothing can import .fw.png files and keep them editable; I'll need to manually export everything to .psd before I eventually have to upgrade my OS.
shedside | 4 years ago | on: Recently uncovered software flaw most critical vulnerability of the last decade
This article seems to suggest that the Apache webserver is also vulnerable. But AIUI that’s written in C and Log4j is a library for Java that also happens to come from the Apache software foundation. Or am I wrong about that?

Neither Old Navy nor Banana Republic really exist as brands in the UK.
shedside | 6 years ago | on: Where are all the animated SVGs?
What kills me is that literally nothing (inc Photoshop) will import a .fw.png file and keep it editable. I know it's using some kind of proprietary extension to the PNG format, and that some gradients and textures would inevitably be Fireworks specific, but it'd still be useful to be able to open an old mockup and tinker with it.

That's horrifying. But nah, I'm using 1Blocker.
shedside | 6 years ago | on: Taboola, Outbrain and the Chum Supply Chain
I sincerely hate these accursed things. Loathe them. Installed an ad blocker with the specific intent to rid myself of them.
shedside | 6 years ago | on: Project Svalbard: The Future of Have I Been Pwned
AIUI, “Project Svalbard” is the name of the project to find a new home for HIBP. The actual service isn’t being renamed (yet).
shedside | 6 years ago | on: Stripe Chargeback Protection
It'd still be enabled prior to the original charge being made. The details in the link suggest that some charges would be exempted anyway (eg ones that don't use the new Checkout, ones over a certain threshold). So it's a question of whether or not a given individual charge is insured, not a question of whether your Stripe account as a whole is insured.
shedside | 6 years ago | on: Stripe Chargeback Protection
Don't know if anyone from Stripe is listening here but: it'd be amazing to be able to deploy chargeback protection selectively, as a Radar rule. So that for example we could say: charges from the US are protected (and subject to the extra fee) while charges from the UK are not.
shedside | 7 years ago | on: Mandrill has been down for over 30 hours with no explanation
We used Mandrill for some time, then moved to SendGrid, and just recently have moved again to Postmark because we were seeing delivery issues. FWIW, Postmark has been fantastic.

shedside | 8 years ago | on: Etherbots: Strategic Battling and Reward-Based Economies in Multiplayer Games [pdf]
Game economies have fascinated me since I sold a party hat on Runescape for the real-world equivalent of several hundred dollars. Scarcity is the main driving force of value everywhere, and the guaranteed transparency of smart contracts should have unique This is a really interesting read; I'm impressed a crypto game has put this much effort into their system.
shedside | 8 years ago | on: Don't hate COBOL until you've tried it
I'm curious about something. Why this:
if shipping-method <> 'FX'
move normal-ship-date-yyyymmdd to expected-shipping-date
else
move nextday-ship-date-yyyymmdd to expected-shipping-date.
if shipping-method = 'FX'
move nextday-ship-date-yyyymmdd to expected-shipping-date
else
move normal-ship-date-yyyymmdd to expected-shipping-date.

It's good to see you guys making an effort. I remember it was extremely minimal before, now it's looking pretty slick.

In what way are you not fine if you're using Stripe? Do you contend that you still need PCI Certification even if you're only using Stripe?
