The cost of Unsplash
Luke Chesser shares what it cost to run Unsplash in February (minus humans): Hopefully getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it costs to run a site like Unsplash will help you with your own business, or at least give you a better understanding of what’s involved. It is nice when people share information like this […]

Congratulations to…
Congratulations to Kobe Bryant for scoring 60 in his final NBA game, to Steph Curry for hitting over 400 3-pointers in a single season (this number is baffling), and to the Warriors for winning 73 games in a regular season. Last night was an amazing night for basketball.

Is GoPro doomed?
Those that follow along here on my blog know that I love my GoPro. And I “only” have the HERO 3. See this, this, this, this, and this for examples of me playing around with my GoPro. GoPro’s stock price and sales figures are plummeting. And as I sit here, going over everything they have, and […]

Twitter’s problem
I already quoted Gary this morning but I might as well do it again. In Daily Vee #29 (go right to the moment here) he said: I know that 8 years ago if I said “follow my friend Joel, he’s awesome” 2,000 people would do that when I had 7,000 followers and now 37 will do […]

I was reading up on ipfw (deprecated on Mac I guess), pf, and dnctl (which is within pfctl?) over the weekend. My *nix firewall foo is lacking to say the least. My goal is to find a way to create a pipe just for Photos for OS X and limit its bandwidth to only a few […]

PHP is pretty bad
Since I wrote "I’m perfectly happy using PHP” last week I figured I’d show the other side’s viewpoint as well. There are those out there that loathe the language. Evee goes off on PHP like no one else could: PHP is an embarrassment, a blight upon my craft. It’s so broken, but so lauded by […]

What will vehicles look like when they become completely autonomous? What about non-passenger vehicles like delivery trucks? What about when they are all electric and autonomous? The near future is going to look very different.

I’m reading reports of the iPhone SE being in low supply. I know when I picked up mine I had to call three, and drive to two, locations before I found one. And I ended up with a color I hadn’t originally intended (though I like it now). I don’t know if Apple was caught […]

Use what works, play with the new
I had Unmark’d Kyle Slattery’s post on his company site (which I think is rather good looking; here is why) regarding why his company uses Ruby on Rails. It is a good post. Notice this bit: It’s easy to get caught up in the newest trend, and there are lots of great technologies being developed, but […]

Blue Origin’s New Shepard lands again
This video is absolutely mind-blowing. Everything about this was science fiction a few years ago. In fact, the video looks fake while you watch it because you can’t believe this is happening on Earth. And now with some regularity. Watching this video makes me think that I’ll be alive when people (perhaps even with their […]

Digital Transformations
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, on LinkedIn: Each of us are part of our economies and our societies. Long-term growth is directly related to our ability to make our climate more sustainable, our economies more viable and our societies more equitable. Those changes can only happen if we ask ourselves two questions: What difference is […]

Release notes by Slack
Anna Pickard on Ev’s blog about Slack’s release notes: That means if something was a massive pain in the peach, or made people’s lives just a little worse, we don’t splatter it with jokes and pretty words to try and hide it. We say sorry, thank people for their continued patience, and let them know […]

Stripe’s API documentation
Stripe has had best-of-breed API documentation for the last several years. They’ve just made it even better with a “quickstart tour” that works wonderfully. Anyone documenting an API should look very closely at what Stripe has done. Much of their success is very likely due to them caring about their docs. /via John Collison on Twitter.

The Loop Magazine closes
Jim Dalrymple: I hate failure, and this was a failure for me. I will learn from it and focus my attention back on The Loop website, where it belongs. I’m sorry to the subscribers of the magazine, and hope you enjoy the upcoming issues I have prepared for you. We’ve all failed. We have an […]
