I work on a team building a real-time display of energy flows (production and consumption) on a regional basis (by municipalities). This is mainly used in town halls on a flat-screen display but of course publicly accessible as well. It‘s made with VueJS but will be rewritten with Svelte very soon. Here‘s one example of one of over 140 municipalities at the time of this writing:

How exciting this would be to cycle through the tunnel once the tunnel is completed but not yet released to public (car) traffic? Near Hamburg people enjoy riding their bikes on a nearly completed section of a new motorway although it's strictly forbidden.

… and people would look into https://svelte.dev which might be everything you need.

Most remarkable: "The bulb that still worked after 70 years" - "A light switch - probably installed in the 1950s - illuminated a large Osram bulb marked 'HM Government Property'."

A comparable behaviour can be seen for years now on iOS. Chrome for iOS is advertised where possible, even if you would like to open a hyperlink from the show notes of a YouTube movie: You are offered to open this link with Chrome ("download"), Google App ("download"), or even with Safari ("open"). There's no real use for the user having Chrome on iOS as long as it has to use WebKit as a rendering engine, the same engine Safari uses. But there is surely a usage for Google, monetizing the user's browsing profiles.

Safari just joined the party in displaying a warning if the connection is not using TLS/HTTPS just like other browsers do.

From their announcement:

We are announcing today that the Copy and CudaDrive services will be discontinued on May 1, 2016.

Copy and CudaDrive have provided easy-to-use cloud file services and sharing functionality to millions of users the past 4+ years. However, as our business focus has shifted, we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the Copy and CudaDrive services and allocate those resources elsewhere. For more information on this decision, please view the blog post from Rod Mathews, our GM of Storage.

We know this comes as disappointing news to our users, but rest assured that we will do everything we can to take care of each of you in the manner for which Barracuda is known. We have created a step by step guide that walks you through the process of moving your data to a local hard drive or another cloud storage solution.

If you are on a paid subscription for either Copy or CudaDrive, please keep an eye out in the coming days for an email with more detailed information on your options. For additional information, please visit our FAQ page.

Thank you to everyone for your support.

All the best,

The Copy & CudaDrive Team

You can have a look at WordFence as well which comes free of charge (and there are paid plans). It does checksumming and guards your login page. https://www.wordfence.com

This is really awesome. Why do certificates expire in the first place?

Right. Nevertheless, this tiny little menulet might be a nice starting point for all those people who are not too experienced with secure shell sessions.

Yet another way to have clickable short-cuts for opening SSH connections using OS X (Safari only): OS X understands URL schemes like ssh://[email protected]:port. Throw it into the address bar or even save this as a bookmark. Safari asks for permission before opening such non-http protocols nowadays and transfers you to Terminal.app. Pro: Less clutter in menu bar. Con: Safari only. (As for me, I prefer ~/.profile and 'alias').

Very nice. Only a small problem: The accordion items never 'close' in an animated way, such as sliding up.

This has already been changed to #User-agent: * #Disallow: /

Hamburg wouldn't be too bad either :)

Simple question: Which code does preserve your lifetime? Highly optimized, less readable but really short code, or highly readable, good structured, better maintainable code? As for me, I really enjoy sharing my code with my colleagues. Maybe there are others who don't, but they always will have to work alone in the basement where light never reaches theirs pale faces (think of 'The IT Crowd', for example).

+another1 CSSEdit which is great.

But it would be nice to remove the istockphoto watermark, besides.

Interestingly they say that they posted the pictures to Flickr which appears to be Picasa after all.

See http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list for the latest version of Quicksilver. It works well with Snow Leopard alongside with its invaluable clipboard and shelf plug-ins. It's very fast (and looks great).

If alternatives are demanded, have a look at Butler, as well: http://manytricks.com/butler/ (freeware).

Looks like I'd have to share personal data with Hootsuite.com, ie. creating a hootsuite account which will log me on twitter. Sharing my twitter credentials with hootsuite gives them the potential of getting a bunch of profiling information they can sell (one day) or did I miss something?

Maybe this is interesting for you: http://www.billingsapp.com/

The number of pages crawled keeps counting up. One per second. A glorious glance into the source code shows, it's faked (the counting).

There's an article discussing this topic on ajaxian.com featuring another jQuery solution: http://ajaxian.com/archives/pegs-automate-display-fixed

Totally Agree. ;) The simple ratio: Tell your users what is going to happen after his or her action. This minimizes misunderstandings and frustrations.
