Exact same, Pocket is so close to being the perfect service and yet so far. I have a huge archive and their search is just terrible. I will have a specific keyword from an article I know I have in there, and yet all I get from their results is utterly irrelevant articles. Making it worse, you can't filter the search results to, say, your Favorites, so I have to sift through all the random crap in my full archive.
Yeah I really hate this. And they've had just stupidly obvious bugs to fix for so long. For instance, in the web client their logic for handling quotes is broken. So you literally can't search for an "exact match" (even though Pocket anyway sucks at exact matches), you just get """"my search term"""" with 4 quotes that returns either 0 or 1000 results. I can't fathom how this particular bug could be more than a one-line fix in the HTML escape logic.
same. Have a premium account but their search doesn't work properly. At one point I asked their support and they switched my account from premium to non-premium, asked me to pay for another premium account (which they then refunded). Then it was working properly for some months, but now it's having problems again. So annoying...
Yeah, I wondered if I should add a caveat in there about this. I forewent it because I thought it would confuse people more than anything, and because I've never found this particular concern all that worrisome for the average developer. But maybe it's worth mentioning, in a footnote if nothing else.
And of course, if you would like more articles written by me and an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio (because I post so rarely...), consider subscribing: http://technotes.iangreenleaf.com. RSS is not dead, dammit.
`ups` and `downs` are whole numbers, so `abs(s)` will usually be >= 1, like 2654 or something. The log is there to reduce the influence of additional votes after a certain level of popularity. See footnote ^2: http://technotes.iangreenleaf.com/posts/2013-12-09-reddits-e...
Yes, that would be a great place to find more like this. CoffeeScript has added support for literate programming, so that might be a good place to go for modern, web-oriented code samples.
Roughly, yes. I'm just happy to see that there are 3 now, instead of only Amazon.
It depends how you define "the space", of course. Dropbox, GitHub Pages, Heroku, and many more can be used to host static content. But I think this is an accurate list if you want something that is a) dirt cheap at any scale, b) fast and reliable, c) meant for this purpose, d) configurable enough to host a professional website without embarrassing quirks, e) not overly tied to a particular platform configuration.
Yup. I used to wear booties when I wore clipping shoes. But then I switched to heavy boots without clips and it was warmer. Never had a problem with hands. I got some down ski mittens. In fact they are too hot - but the key is 'mittens'. Once I discovered that, there was no looking back.
If you don't want to use Gmail for sensitive email, by all means don't. But this is just a silly knee-jerk reaction. Even if Google is the evilest company in the world, how could their development and championing of an open WiFi standard possibly compromise your privacy?
I ask for that great article about leaded gasoline (https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-most-important-scient...) and Pocket gives me an article about Rebecca Black instead (https://www.theawl.com/2011/03/arms-so-freezy-rebecca-blacks...).
