There’s also a really nice image comparison tool. If you’re into that sort of thing. Which I am.
File under: Cool shit you can do with Elasticsearch.
Despite using the less command frequently, I had no clue that it could be used in place of tail -f. So useful!
An interesting article — and ensuing discussion down in the comments — from Andy Adams. Definitely worth a read if you make even just a fraction of your living from doing WordPress dev work.
I love single use command line tools. This one helps you determine a URL’s image weight and even lets you know where you should start optimizing.
While HPKP — which helps reduce the attack surface for man-in-the-middle attacks against HTTPS traffic — is only supported in a very small handful of recent Chrome and Firefox builds, it never hurts to get ahead of the curve. Especially when it comes to your site’s security.
In a flash of epicurean genius, Sarah decided to whip up a batch of David Chang‘s Cacio e Pepe Ramen for dinner last night. And while it’s not something I’d eat all the time — it was actually super rich — I wouldn’t be against downing another bowl of it at some point in the (nearish) future.
Great in-depth analysis from Gizmodo covering every last bullshit claim made about Bulletproof Coffee.
It looks like the WordPress security tool WPScan is looking to move away from the GNU GPL license for their software. That’s rather unfortunate, but after reading about companies trying to repackage and sell WPScan as their own work, I totally get where they’re coming from.
Chasing these companies takes time, sometimes a whole day of emails back and forth arguing the intricacies of the GNU GPL while they try and weasel their way out of complying to our license. This takes a lot of my time away from the important stuff, working on WPScan and the WPScan Vulnerability Database. Because of this I decided to add a clause to the license. If you want to sell WPScan you can pay for a commercial license, otherwise you can use it under the GNU GPL.
After a few months with this license it was pointed out to me that the GNU GPL does not allow these kind of clauses. What some individuals and companies decided was a ‘loophole’.
Their new (proposed) license has been posted as a Gist — which I’ve embedded below — and the developers are welcoming feedback.
If you’re schooled in Public/Open Source software licenses and are interested in the future of WordPress security tools, go leave a comment!
While I never bought into the Flappy Bird hype, I totally get the appeal of infuriatingly brief casual games. So I decided to try out PAKO after finding it over the weekend.
The TL;DW (too long; didn’t watch) of the video above is this:
Even though I haven’t had a single round that’s lasted longer than 35 seconds, it manages to be loads of fun without being throw-your-phone frustrating. If you’ve got a couple bucks burning a hole in your pocket — it’s only $0.99 on iOS, but slightly more expensive on other platforms — it’s definitely worth it.
