Open source doesn't just mean that the source is publicly available, either, though. This definitely isn't an open source license: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/LICENSE
now.sh handles this quite nicely: when you log in there, they send you an email and display three random words. When you get the email, you verify the words match, click the link, and then you'll be logged in in the…
I agree. Even if you think /user/ or /res/ is too long or unsightly, you could have shorter prefixes like (in an example.com/username system) example.com/.settings or example.com/_settings, or (in an…
Wagtail has a similar sort of thing, inspired by Sir Trevor I think, called StreamField; it still has to have a RichTextBlock type to support inline-level formatting (bold, italic, links, etc.) Currently it's either…
Wait, so they're replacing a license that has a dodgy patent grant that everyone distrusted, with a license that doesn't have a patent grant at all? Why not Apache?
I'm in Adelaide, Australia and I've never had this problem; I get maps within a second on both iOS and macOS, ADSL and LTE (Telstra in both cases). (As an aside, from what I've heard, public transport support being…
IIRC, because the payment terminals have their own power source, previous iPhone generations lacked the induction coils necessary to support passive NFC tags. Presumably they were added to the iPhone 7?
Don't forget, it's not just about consumer applications. Anywhere you might use a QR code or traditional barcode, but you don't want to have to worry about the barcode becoming obscured or worn with use. I know we've…
Pricing is €1,499, according to http://bgr.com/2017/02/28/sony-xperia-touch-release-date-pri... This would be awesome if it weren't for that price.
...is this a parody?

Photoshop is a verb. Adobe's trademark lawyers would very much like it to not be a verb, but it is. They've lost that battle long ago.
I can't vouch for it myself, but the Django Girls tutorial [1] is the resource I hear recommended most often for learning Django without any prior programming experience. [1]: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/

There's a bunch of other tools[1][2] that do this sort of thing already, although all the ones I've seen display file size as a sort of flame graph/pie chart hybrid (imagine a flame graph wrapped around a circle). This…
This is a neat idea; it's sort of an entity-relationship diagram or class diagram for API resources. In fact, if your audience is familiar with these sorts of diagrams, I wonder if it'd be more readily scannable if you…
I kind of wish there was a ALGPL; a license that works like the AGPL in terms of access over a network being considered use, but could be used unmodified as a library in non-GPL-compatible software like LGPL libraries…

The closest the industry came to what you're describing, unfortunately, was Pebble. They were cheap (IIRC the OG Pebble was around $99); while they didn't last _multiple_ weeks you could get 7-10 days out of a charge…
This is really sad; Pebble had probably the best products on the smartwatch market, and I'll be disappointed to see them go. They were the only smartwatch manufacturer that could claim anything close to 10 days of…
