I created a small script that keeps track of all new Reddit posts that are created and all posts that reach the front page over the last 8 months (default subreddits in the U.S.). I was able to create a couple interesting time and day-of-the-week heat maps from the data.

YouTube annotations are semi-transparent boxes of text that cover a video while you're watching it. They can be different colors and sizes, and can pop up or go away at any point during a video. Sometimes they are useful, but most of the time they aren't. YouTube gives you a way to turn them off on a per-video basis in video options, but not permanently or site-wide. Here is how you can achieve that using an ad blocker browser extension and a simple filter.

If your Magento product pages are displaying the word "No" for attributes in the Additional Information page, and you'd prefer that empty attributes simply be hidden on product pages for products that don't have them filled out, here is a simple fix that only requires adding one line of code.

Debugging can be difficult when using Cordova or PhoneGap to build native Android apps using web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS). Unlike in your desktop browser, you don't have easy access to a convenient Developer Tools window (F12) to show you error logs and the console log.

A fast rocket-powered sled that can also fly and take quite a beating. Uses plows for low-friction movement along the ground and vertical rockets to allow for fly with a decent level of control.

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft built in Besiege. Uses rockets for thrust and reaction control wheels for pitch, yaw, and roll. The rockets pivot to change thrust direction.

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft built in Besiege. Uses rockets for thrust and reaction control wheels for pitch, yaw, and roll. Maneuverability is very good and it's very fast, but it's difficult to control, as you can see in the video below. It probably needs more fine-tuning of the reaction wheels and better key mapping.

Curious how many images and files Imgur hosts? Some public information is available in the Imgur AMA and Imgur wiki, but it doesn't contain information specifically on how many files Imgur has in its archives currently.

On Monday July 20th at 10AM, H3XED received 13,507 http requests over the course of about 6 minutes (38 per second) from IP 87.69.252.212, which is located in Israel. The user agent was Java/1.8.0_05 and they were mostly GET requests. They were looking for exploitable endpoints by running through a long list of URLs and checking for response codes. Here is a breakdown and analysis of the attack.

This Besiege octocopter uses reaction control wheels for pitch, yaw, and roll. Lift is provided by eight 4-blade props. It is very stable and able to hover with only minor corrections. Maneuverability is slow compared to a quadcopter, but it's easy to fly and smooth.

Yahoo Mail sometimes uses inline advertisements that look similar to regular emails in your inbox. These are particularly obnoxious because they can't be deleted like a spam email and they sit there alongside your regular emails with a big, eye-catching thumbnail.

There is a weight chart of Besiege blocks and items available on the Besiege Wikia, but that site is somewhat slow (130 http requests) and has an annoying bar covering the top. I reference it myself quite often, so decided to make that same chart available here. I also added some newer items and corrected several block names.
