If it's pair programming or collaborative programming you are after, I'd suggest Code With Me on latest Jetbrains IDEs. The code is E2E encrypted over Jetbrains servers, or you can even self-host. Makes presentations, lessons a br

Sites can impose a Content Security Policy, that (among other things) can disable inline JavaScript. This makes it a real PITA to modify web sites with user CSS/JS. I am personally aligned with pro-CSP because it can greatly reduce the

In a different HN thread that has no or positive reaction to Stripe, you'd be seeing many praises for Stripe. For local businesses, perhaps your local bank has a better solution? They will be cheaper (if they use networks other than Vi

Yeah those two parts, and those forced laughs came out a bit sour to me too, but it was entertaining watch nonetheless.

Long term cycling or backpacking forces this too. I work remotely, and resolving to very minimal lifestyles. I recently gave away all of my micro USB cables to replace with two cables and one 60W full-size USB output. It can now charge all

we have "life insurance" (that pays on death), and "pension plans" that trickles money to your account until you eventually die. But the terms "death insurance" and "life insurance" (in French) make s

I think this was a concern for many channels. Jacksfilms, a channel that often quotes comments, even make fun of such phishing channel names in his videos.

Telling a location over the phone when you are in an emergency comes to mind. Easier to remember than a series of numbers as is the case latitude/longitude.

For the first week or so, Airbnb or a booking.com reservation might be the best bet. Once I'm there, I usually get to know a few locals there either in a bar/meetup, couch surfing, or more effectively, with Facebook groups or loca

Xiaomi's Mijia line up has super light and directly USB-C/MicroUSB pluggable tooth brushes. I use a super cheap T100 two years old now, which is almost the same size as a regular toothbrush, and needs no charging puck.

I'd say, go for it! I've been on a similar lifestyle for about 9 years now, and I don't plan on stopping. This may sound counter intuitive, but one thing that worked so well for me is to book a place for a shorter period (lik

Yeah, I too vividly remember that purchase as more wholesome and a way of supporting them, rather than purchasing something. The free version is super feature-rich, and I believe most of those who go premium do it to support Bitwarden.

Touring Europe cycling is amazing, I did Strasbourg to Montpelier on a Dutch bike, with short legs between Amsterdam to Nice. It was amazing, I had a good tent, sleeping bag, and a mattress. My trip was over 2,000km, including a climb to Ve

DNS servers _usually_ reply with information about a queried domain name or a host name. dig is a command-line tool that queries a given name server (or a preset one) for that information. For example `dig news.ycombinator.com` returns the

I continue to use it even today for small root stores I manage for internal networks. Very clean and intuitive UI that gets the job done well. Also using Kleopatra for GPG keys.

More things that I don't like than things I do like. - A taller display would have been better. 1080p is great for media, but a laptop that literally has "dev" in its name could use a taller display, specially at 14". -

Wow this brings back memories. I stayed at a high school hostel, and and remember calling the high school sweethearts after 9pm, when they had super cheap fares. 9 minutes for an equivalent of $0.02. There was only one phone, so the rest of

I don't know they recently started allowing to use any nameserver apart from cloudflare nameservers after transferring the domain. This vendor lock is what prevented me from using Cloudflare, but it turns out there is another reason, r

I have a laptop that draws 240W over a square slim tip, and recently saw a 240W GaN power brick. Like the photo in the article, it's comparable to an iPhone in size, but what prevented me from buying it was the weight (400g) and the pr

As far as I can tell (I now have the API access, so I might test later), you only need to provide additional authentication credentials to Certbot. The private key stays on your server. The CA server _might_ reject requests that do not come
