Re:Catalog of Cycling Workouts to browse/download/share on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @01:06AM (#48550847)
I made it so I could use it to find sessions that aren't terrible (i.e zwift workouts which are more for fun instead of training a specific system), and because I see other people asking for sessions.

I know there's a lot of cyclists here so figured worth sharing. Not intended for profit at all. Link to the bottom is not me, just a coach that has supplied some of the workouts and I think is pretty good.

Please give me feedback and sessions to add.

Re:After 10 Years, Yelp Gave My App 4 Days on Wednesday July 31, 2024 @04:39PM (#41123194)
I got the same email. Despite my hobby project (a random food picker) having been broken and not used for years (because of yelp API updates), they also told me my usage was higher than other developers...

The email also arrived in my spam folder, so I was lucky to even see it. Once I got back to them they did increase the cutoff by a few days but it has since been stopped.

Their new prices seemed insane to me.

Re:Instagram Is Over on Saturday December 03, 2022 @12:57PM (#33845565)
Author points to data showing 300m active users in 2013, 2b active users now, yet claims that Instagram is over. What is the replacement? Where is the decline?

Just a relatively inexperienced web developer documenting my progress of learning. Great to see such interesting personal sites from everywhere here

Not good news at all. You might be able to get away with 5.7 updates for awhile coupled with a plugin like Wordfence, but sooner or later it'll be be too insecure to run as hackers are always trying to get into older Wordpress versions.

Any chance your gov users can update to edge? I know it will be difficult to setup the settings again, but it has to be done at some point.

Re:HTTP Security Headers on Wednesday May 19, 2021 @05:57AM (#27206477)
Hey, thanks for reading! I wish I could have gone into detail with more of the headers but as you probably saw that was a 13 minute read going into one of them... and that could have been repeating for at least another 10.

I can see why they allowed scripts for SVG's but I completely agree with you that scripts should never be executed for <img>. The potential for exploits far outweighs the benefit of it.

Re:Ask HN: Cheapest/easiest way to host a static site? on Friday March 26, 2021 @02:53PM (#26595563)
I personally use Firebase for all my static sites. Completely free and fast. If you need to run some backend function they have Firebase functions which is free to a certain degree too.

Example site: https://jeremyshaw.co.nz

Other than that I'm sure Github Pages and Netlify are fine, both very popular options.

Worst case you put it on Amazon S3 and get charged a fraction of a dollar every month .

You can't use "good intentions" to justify horrific actions.
Re:Bootstrap 5 Alpha 3 on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @06:01PM (#25064054)
Exactly this. Bootstrap just provides the building blocks and functionality to build websites quicker. Can still style them however you want.

Re:The First Randomized Controlled Trial on Vitamin D and Covid-19 on Thursday September 03, 2020 @04:18PM (#24368411)
It works for the average person but becomes distorted when you look at athletes, especially those that need to put on more muscle.
