I don't have a specific book but instead I have the advice I was given three years ago before our first kid was born: "Pick a book both of you connect with and ignore the others". Up until that time my wife and I would look a

I've been working on unplugging and your response matches a lot of what I've done. So far I've been pretty successful but still have a bit to go. The biggest change for me was getting off of social networking. I always told m

Thanks for the info. I'll dig around a bit and see what life might be like with slackware again :)

I have slowly been migrating from LastPass to pass and am just about ready to go all in. There are a few hoops to jump through to get it working on android (a requirement for me), but nothing too bad. The one thing I am having to make a hab

Aside from the things you mentioned, I have started moving to self-hosting everything on a VM with an encrypted disk and https for all app interactions. For code I use gitea/gogs + self hosted drone. I have OpenVPN running their as wel

I was talking with a group yesterday and that idea came up (or something similar). The idea was to have a data microservice for writes and then let the various microservices do reads from their specific db. This data microservice would hand

No specific problem, I just run into a lot of customers who are trying to solve the problem. I can parrot back everything from the books and the Netflix tech blog but I'm interested to hear what non-Netflix people are actually doing. R

I feel like a salesman because I always am bringing up azure but... You might take a look at the azure active directory b2c service. You can use stand alone azure ad or integrate with other various providers (Google, Facebook,etc). Their po

The apps you listed (+ other similar apps) are exactly what I use DO for. To me they are the KISS cloud provider. Nothing super fancy but the flip side to that is that they are easy to use and interface with. When I want an MVP or a non-en

It is amazing to me that there are people out there like this (Mohamed Bzeek). The amount of emotional strength and selflessness that I believe it would take to live in this man's shoes is nothing short of extraordinary. Thank you subm

For the ssh key, are you using your yubikey on multiple computers or just one? I just started looking at this but it seems like there is a bit of setup needed for each computer. I guess it might be worth it but would be interested to hear a

I'm in the same boat and actually submitted an "Ask HN" awhile back to see what others were doing ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13567209 ). I have the plain ol' yubikey and also the NFC yubikey bu

I actually think we are in the same roles (CSA) :). I have seen the same thing you are talking about and it is certainly one of the shitty parts of the job. Luckily I've done enough with the sales group around me that they are starting

:) So as someone who has been knee deep in Azure for around a year but who had previously used AWS for 2-3 years I would say: it depends. If you are looking at PaaS offerings, specifically around the application hosting side (not database)

What about Azure as well? I work for MSFT under the Azure umbrella so feel free to ask questions. I'm a no BS guy who was a long time AWS guy and know where Azure falls short and where it might be better.

I can't speak to the product side because up until a year ago I hardly used any MSFT products but I can say that the culture that has been brought by Satya, and likely his reports, is one of the reasons I joined MSFT after being a long

Vim-sensible is the first, and sometimes only, vim plugin I use. It is small, takes care of most of the stuff I had in my personal .vimrc file and works across all of the systems I am on. I used to just load up vim with tons of plugins unti

For sure and that's one of the reasons I think they have a chance of at least getting to the same level as Github. I've actually worked at two fortune 500 companies that are using the self hosted Gitlab which to me says a lot, I j

Unfortunately, events like this are one of the reasons I never was able to go all in on Gitlab. When I first started trying it out the performance was not great (it is pretty good these days though) and they just seemed to have more of thes

I was just thinking the same thing and was wondering if I missed that? I have been working on a similar project for keeping bookmarks and haven't found (yet) an easy way to obfuscate directory and file names in a way that doesn't
