I love writing little tools and scripts that use pipes, I've accumulated a lot of them over the years and some are daily drivers. It's a great learning tool for learning a new programming language as well as the interface between

I watched this a year or so ago, it might have been on YouTube but got taken down http://kachingfilm.com/ It's a documentary about video gambling machines in Australia, quite eye opening to say the least....

The amount of times note taking apps and products appear on the HN front page is quite amusing. Has anyone ever cracked this nut? I've been using Joplin for about a year, it works. Could be better, but does the job

We used to do the DynamoDB thing, but nowadays we use AWS Parameter Store to store secrets. You can configure the IAM role of the lambda to only be able to read/decrypt the particular parameters it needs too Definitely agree with you t

Desktop is the dumping ground for screenshots for me. I take a lot of screenshots at work which get pasted into things like JIRA tickets, slack etc These end up accumulating on my desktop over the years until I can be bothered to delete the

I've recently installed Wireguard on one of my Pis to support this, so I can use my pihole while I've been away for the christmas break - has worked perfectly. Admittedly not got it working on android yet but I'm under the im

Got bitten by this one, I can't remember the specific details other than the bug was due to using YYYY in a system that parsed log lines. The bug manifested itself around this time of the year, so not a great time to be called out to f

I think the biggest problem for me as a single person is the way most stuff sold in supermarkets is designed for family meals. Which is fair, families probably represent a significant portion of their customer base. But it becomes problemat

The thing that's nice about medium is the social network around it, the claps, the comments, the hooks into Twitter, the reccomendations for new content to read etc I post to my own blog, but really miss those hooks into the community.

I suspect business customers might have more of a stick to beat O2 over the head with, rather than average people with a cell phone contract. e.g. Transport for London's dot matrix displays could not show bus times for the 14 or so hou

An on point article and excellent read, but I felt deflated by the end. This is the end of days for the open web I'm afraid, and this article lays out the path travelled and road ahead.

Really enjoyed reading this, even if I didn't understand a lot of the jargon. I find mainframes fascinating beasts, I don't understand how a programmer would be able to make use of all those "CPs" but it sure looks like

Our broadcast news channels are regulated too, i.e. there are no "right wing" or "left wing" news channels/programmes here in the UK because of this regulation.

The Amazon book shopping experience is atrocious too, if you want to read books on say, computing, the "bestsellers" are full of junk SEO optimisation tutorial books and Minecraft trash. It's like wading through a swamp!
