I'm with you. For us it has been pretty much fine. My spouse and I stay at home for the most part, except for the occasional shopping trip. Working from home. Luckily we haven't got on each others nerves much :)

I enjoy the convenience of wireless. But I do make a conscious effort to put devices that are going to stay in one location on Ethernet if possible. I even specifically bought a certain Roku model mainly because it had Ethernet. So basicall

Our local Mexican grocery store sells them. I think they import them from Mexico and nobody noticed that they are illegal here in the US.

This is not 100% correct for Google. Realistically yes I agree. But you can at least install a 3rd Party app store on Android, as I have done with F-droid. Also I believe Amazon has an App store too. The percentage of people who do that is

One nit about this article. It claims that the Yubikey does not support TOTP (Time-based One Time Code). I believe all of the Gen 5 versions that plug into your computer's USB port support TOTP. There is an app called Yubico Authentica

Well that is kind of the the point of multi-factor authentication. * Something you know (your username/password). * Something you have. The Yubikey or other hardware token. If you lose your Yubikey, by itself it should not allow access

I think this is what caused the problems with the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) I use. I noticed today that calling and texting weren't working on our phones. Our MVNO uses T-Mobile as its network, so this kind of explains eve

Ah my very first computer to program was the Model I. The fun days of writing programs in BASIC and later assembly language, using a tape cassette machine to load and save programs/data, and using a 300 bps modem to connect to a BBS. A

Two screens seems like a no-brainer for what I consider the typical HN reader as I think they are likely a software developer. Especially if the one screen is a laptop screen. I find myself much more productive having a standard keyboard, m

Many text editors now have this feature built in. Myself I use vim and the vim-fugitive plugin. Being able to do ":Gblame" is amazing. And then being able to step back in time to see what the code looked like before this commit is

I think having commit messages that point to a an issue tracker and don't have the context from that issue tracker are a bad idea. At some point things are likely to change and the issue tracker that was being used will be changed. And

An important thing for me in a commit message is the "why" of the commit. Sure it can state "changed foo to use blah". But why did they do that is often very important information. Sometimes it is very obvious from the w

This would have been useful for my co-worker. They went on a trip to Europe years ago and had conference call scheduled when they got there. Unfortunately for them they decided to lie on the bed in the hotel and the jet lag hit them pretty

Not strictly a better programmer but a more efficient one. - FZF (Fuzzy Finder) really speeds thing up in bash when searching your history. - Vim (as others have mentioned). With the plugin vim-fugitive (a git related vim plugin). I love Gb

To never lose at TicTacToe is not possible Sorry I don't understand that. Normal playing at decent skill level is going to always lead to a draw, which is not losing. Am I missing something?

I was surprised to learn that by US Law a grenade is considered a WMD. Which is not what I thought of when I hear the term Weapon of Mass Destruction. https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/wmd A WMD is defined by U.S. law as

This makes me nervous as I have registered several of my personal domains with Google Domains. So far I have resisted having my main personal domain with Google. Kind of scary that they would suspend your domain registration because they th

Yeah I have emailed Kevin Crenshaw but he stated the project is "abandonware" at this point. He said to search for it online. So far no luck with version 3.0. It would have been fun to try playing with some old code in a VM :) I d

I have to admit I find this type of article about old computer/software quite interesting as recently I discovered a backup of mine that contained source code I wrote in 1993. I was writing assembly language back then. Using a really g

Well Linus is 50 years old. So I expect he also suffers from age related vision problems. So I don't think he is unaware of it being more difficult to read text as you get older.

Many people, including myself, like Thinkpad laptops. And by Thinkpad I mean Thinkpad, not any laptop from Lenovo. I have personally purchased three generations of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon over the years. I know the Thinkpad T4?? are popular

I'm genuinely curious what economic perks have disappeared that were a significant part of people's income? I consider free food a perk, but it is not income. I consider income to be monetary compensation. So I'm curious what

I wouldn't expect that in 7-8 weeks that prices would be impacted appreciably. But maybe in 6-18 months. If you have a decent amount of people who over-extended themselves, they default on their mortgages, houses get foreclosed, and th

TL;DR In one week Wink requires a $4.99/month subscription. If you don't pay it then starting 13-May-2020 you lose all access to your Wink device. Seems a little ransom/blackmail-ey given how little time they are giving peopl
