Downloading a list of URLs automatically

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I recently needed to download a bunch of files from Amazon S3, but I didn't have direct access to the bucket — I only had a list of URLs. There were too many to fetch one by one, so I wanted to fetch them automatically. Here are a couple ways I found to do that. Using curl # Curl...

HEY is finally for sale on the iPhone!

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

Our battle with Apple over their gangster attempt to extort 30% of our HEY revenues was one of the defining moments of my career. It was the kind of test that calls you to account for what you believe and asks what you're willing to risk to see it through. Well, we risked...

Passkey authenticators for consumers (May 2023)

from Nelson's Weblog [alt+shift+b] in programming

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
