I know the title references the code’s age, but I didn’t post it because of that. I was busy reading the full 3 part article, and found it fascinating.

Looking at the Apache 2 license, it seems like they want to take ownership of your trademark and monetise it. Otherwise they would simply fork it and get on with making their changes. I would point them to the license and ask them what issues they have with it. Expecting you to simply give them control over your copyrighted work is outrageous, especially if you didn’t do it on company time. It’s probably best to get a lawyer to look at your employment contract if it’s unclear how far they think their control and ownership extend.

I personally think a 10% annual price increase on .org domains is outrageous, considering the current price of a .org domain is $10. I know it's not a lot of money to an organisation, but it's a huge chuck of cash to the company that is getting paid across the millions of .org sites out there. It'll be interesting to see what they do with this windfall.

I don't like dark mode.

So he's saying you have to have OCD to get anywhere, because that's what collecting bus tickets, or spotting trains is. It's a disorder. Calling it a theory is quite a stretch. And tacking on a bunch of "things" the theory says, is just stabbing at the dark.

"An obsessive interest will even bring you luck, to the extent anything can." - how I'd categorise the entire article. Ironically it's also an accurate categorisation of one's involvement in the Y Combinator Seed project: "to the extent anything can".

Let's encourage everyone to develop OCD for things that matter. Good luck with that.

What annoys me about Apple, is that clearly their time is valuable to them, but us paying Developer Program members are forced to waste days worth of business hours hunting through their appallingly maintained "documentation". And that really pisses me off.

The Art of Unix Programming looks interesting, thanks!

The author attempts to contrast web scraping and web crawling and gets it very wrong. This is what it actually is: web scraping - I download the content of a webpage or select webpages, web crawling - I download the content of the entire internet (or part thereof). How he can say that someone who's crawling the internet and building a search index with the contents of the downloaded data isn't also scraping the web, makes no sense.

I've been looking for e-mail hosting to go along with a domain name purchase, without the file and site hosting I'll just use other services like GitHub for. Does anyone know any better or comparable offers?
