https://m.signalvnoise.com/... has a reference to the idea of click tracking not being as bad (although still not ideal).

As Jonathan says below, DHH has also said some things in tweets about the different privacy expectations around clicks vs opens.

From a practical perspective, we've removed open rate tracking on our emails to hey.com (we use open tracking to delete inactive subs, as Gmail suggests is a best practice, but if Hey.com doesn't care, we don't need to track those) but left click tracking and no "spy" warnings appear.

You can still track clicks on things, they've explicitly said they're fine with this.

Thank you, Luca, it was very kind of you to do the interview with us :)

Re: Deploy CodeSandbox to Netlify | Netlify

Awesome! BTW, in that list of ways to deploy, are you missing deploying via GitHub? Or is that considered something else given the build process involved?

There are some HTML entity rendering issues in your final code sample, BTW :)

Re: Given the choice, 75 percent of Mail Online readers opt for desktop homepage on mobile - Digiday

Peter Cooper — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 16:20:10 -0000

It's because they're doing it badly and not giving the option of a mobile page with /everything/. I read the Daily Mail site each day on mobile and use the "classic" page because I don't want to read "News" OR "Showbiz". I want both! If they did a mobile friendly page which had everything like the classic page, I'd pick that!

Hands up if you just voted for the one you found most attractive

Re: This is why I can’t have conversations using Twitter - Antirez weblog

Peter Cooper — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 05:48:22 -0000

Absolutely. Twitter is a useless medium for having any sort of nuanced, conversational interaction. You're guaranteed to eventually fall into a misunderstanding with someone that can't be addressed without posting 10 tweets in a row and looking crazy. It certainly works much better as a broadcast medium and for giving occasional shout-outs, high fives, and anything you know isn't going to go beyond a short, positive interaction (i.e. not discussions, refutations, arguments, corrections, etc.)

I took a month off of Twitter after a very prominent Twitter user retweeted a sarcastic observation I made to his half a million followers without any context.. for which I got a whole ton of shit from busybodies. After I returned, I basically vowed to keep things clean and unambiguous, to focus on using Twitter to achieve my aims, and to just block anyone I'm not interested in seeing immediately. It has worked quite well so far.

I haven't got a lot to say but looks interesting and I think my daughter might find it enjoyable, even if he is drunk! ;-)

Re: Playing with interators and generators in ECMAScript 6

Peter Cooper — Sat, 15 Feb 2014 07:45:35 -0000

I respect helping authors in being more accurate and think you should keep on doing it by contacting them, posting in comments, etc. as I know you have been. This is a good thing.

With regards to naming and shaming only us on Twitter, despite such articles being shared by numerous other community sites and JavaScript developers first, that I take personally. I'm going to e-mail you about this, though, because no-one else here cares. However, this is a two-sided story (undoubtedly with error on both sides) and has greater context outside of this thread, so I apologise to Callum for taking a verbal dump on your comments ;-)

Re: Playing with interators and generators in ECMAScript 6

Peter Cooper — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 17:06:25 -0000

Thanks for the clarifications. Yeah, I'm tired of sabre rattlers having a go at us, when 101 smarter folks than us tweeted and linked something first, but it's even more depressing that people could get put off of putting out interesting content just because it might contain errors. I'd much rather a wide variety of people write and engage with stuff and "break a few eggs" along the way, than only have a bunch of old white standards-body dudes have the authoritative say - any day of the week! :-) Keep up the good work.

Rick Waldron has been having a go at us at JavaScript Weekly for linking to this post because he says it's "incorrect": https://twitter.com/rwaldro... .. Could you respond to him and/or fix his concerns because he's trying to make both of us look bad.

If anything tells me HN has gone down the pan, it's that this post didn't take off there. This is gold!

"his site would only be generating $80,000 per month"

Oh no, how could a small sustainable business ever survive on that!

Sarcasm aside, the majority of perfectly sustainable small businesses (even in media) do just fine on less than this, including many of the most popular but smaller staffed (or even just a single person) blogs out there. It's his call if he wants to turn it into a huge business with "three dozen staffers" or whatever it is, but it's not absolutely necessary to run so rich at all.

Re: Evening Edition looks to build beyond its simple model

Peter Cooper — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:51:01 -0000

You predicted correctly. Evening Edition appears to have shut down, as has The Brief. Proof, if any were needed, that media - money == no media.

Re: Client-side full-text search in CSS

Peter Cooper — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:40:39 -0000

Alternatively, couldn't you dynamically generate the data-index attributes on page load using JavaScript? That way there'd be no repetition and only a single run through with JavaScript (rather than on every search).

Re: Ryan Makes Stuff — First Law: Test Builds

My 3 year old daughter loves it. I haven't put her in front of First Law yet as I have to fix the controls, but she loves Riftoon and spends most of her time laughing and punching stuff in mid air.

Re: A List of Programming Screencast Series

Peter Cooper — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:40:39 -0000

Being serious though, I think you should add them. I'm not aware of another list like this and it could be very useful, so it makes sense to have it on there even though this is your site.

Re: Introducing RubyAudit for Gem Vulnerability Detection

BTW, hit me up when you launch or otherwise have more to show. It's the sort of thing I could include in Ruby Weekly but it's a bit early ATM.

Your main link to RubyAudit at the end of the post is busted because there's no http..

Notably, this principle is also at work in the United Kingdom - especially in the tube - despite ordinarily driving on the opposite side of the road.

Re: Functional Eye for the Ruby Guy - The Hashrocket Blog

Peter Cooper — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:46:15 -0000

Yeah, support for that was removed between preview2 and rc1. The code above that uses "using" in the way it does doesn't work on rc1 and most likely won't work in Ruby 2.0 final either, alas.

Glad to hear it worked out! I must admit I forgot about including this and was surprised to be reminded, lol. Good one!
