Hi! I had never heard of your service, so I googled it and accidentally misspelled "Pixel" as I often do as "Pixle". The first result was a reddit thread and the second seemed to be a full-length rip of Becoming Royal that had some really malicious ads which were clickjacking and covering the content. Just thought you might like to know. :)
Can anyone recommend a “Control theory for the layman” type textbook? Specifically I’m interested in finding something that gives good overviews and examples, and while I’m not afraid of math, I’m not looking for something overly academic or advanced.

Ask HN: What have I become? (Career trajectory advice)

I've recently found myself finding it very difficult to answer the question of "What do you do?", even among technical folk.A bit of background, I was not fortunate to come from the right environment to have a formal CS type education.I started my "real" career in tech as an entry level implementation specialist at a medical software company.I ended up working for a bit as a "Systems Engineer"...

Perhaps this comment is why my email has blown up over the past day. It's interesting to see this issue pick up steam every now and then.
Also, if anyone has any good advice on pricing your service, please drop that here too!

The Cloudflare (DNS) Updater Program

CUP is a tool to turn CloudFlare DNS into a Dynamic DNS service.

I got fed up with the lack of good and robust Dynamic DNS services out there, so I decided to do something about it.

Thus CUP was born. A tool that turns Cloudflare’s excellent DNS service into a Dynamic DNS service. All for free!

CUP is a single-binary go application that makes updating Cloudflare's DNS service with your current public IP a breeze.

Interested in getting HN’s opinion on this.
Thanks for the information! CSP definitely sounds like something to look into.
Thank you for the detailed response!
Thanks. Skimmed through it and it definitely seems like it could be some very useful information. I'll be more thoroughly reading it soon.
