Same, HN is my goto source when github is down:P We all rumble about how centralized git is bad, then we all go back to it when github is back up again.

Isn't mirroring still a thing? I am not saying this as the old creepy guy (well a bit), but seriously wondering why a registry like npm doesn't have tons of geographicaly spreaded mirrors. Package can easily be signed and mirrored

Beside email and calendar, I use the filesystem extensively and I create "project folders" for everything from software(git) to personal things like (2020-02-08_DaughterRoomBlinds) for the "project" of changing blinds in

I have been using DDG for like ten years, I love it, but I still use google for country specific results. I live in Switzerland and if I want, for example, a toy for my kids, something I want to order locally (for free shipping or the like)

Fish has one of the best auto completion out of the box, I love all you get for free with zero configuration. I used zsh before, which is great, but require so much configuration.

You are right, it was on the extension cable!

I'm pretty sure some Apple USB had a notch. But I think it wasn't to help to plug it in, I think it was to ensure it was directly plugged into the computer without using a cable extension. But I don't remember well, it's

I don't want to drop ZFS for technical reasons, but I do share some of Linus concerns about licensing.

I have about a hundred of domains registered at gandi, I used to like the formed management interface, but I really hate the new one. Is there a registrar you would recommend as an alternative, I don't need DNS, nameservers and glue re

I don't blame Linus, but I use ZFS a lot. I'll drop ZFS the moment I have an alternative with the same features: - disk management with simple commands that can create raids in any modern configuration - zero cost snapshots - impo

Yeah, I had the same problem, but you can explain why it takes so long to the customer. Another tactic I use often is to cut of features, or simplify them in ways that are subtle to the customer but change a lot in term of development time.

I have been self employed for 20 years. I used to put my work first, and in 2012 I did a serious burnout and nearly died (common virus can make a LOT of damage when you are exhausted). So I changed my view of life. Now I consider myself on

While I use i3 on archlinux, I think elementary OS looks great and is a great alternative for less tech savvy users. I am very grateful to the elementary OS community for it existence. One other alternative could be Cinnamon.

The sanest environment I used for front end development was elm, I can't recommend it enough. And if you don't need offline app, pure server side rendering makes wonder and things live phoenix live view are really good.

There is very little signal on quora, mostly noise, the UI is confusing and it pollutes results, so I cannot agree more. But there are many more websites that should be "removed", instagram, pinterest (basically everything that re

It took me a while to understand an accept how closed and proprietary the Apple ecosystem is. I don't mean it is bad or good, but it is their platform, their product and they control it fully. There is no point in saying "it'

We had the same "issue" about two years back. We finally switched to Linux, we are happy now as Linux is stable and productive, but it took nearly a year of effort to learn and tune linux desktop to our liking. The biggest differe

Yes technically it could work, but I cannot ask the users to use SSH and configure VNC. The force of team viewer is that you download it, open it, and give number over the phone and it works.

Lately, I found that booking directly with the companies was often the same price or cheaper that all site I could try. It might be different in US (I book flights from Europe, because, well, I live there). Lufthansa often has the best pric

Speaking of TeamViewer, do you know a good open source alternative that I can self host (I mean self host the relay server for NAT traversal). That is as easy to use? Works on windows, mac and linux? It should also be installable in a few s

I just switched to Monoid and I like it so far. But it is quite a change. Compared to my previous font (Fira code) it is really different. This is a really hard feeling to explain, I wouldn't say that Monoid is easier or faster to read

I know some not very technical people that bought some HDMI network restreamer on ebay, it's basically an HDMI splitter with an ethernet port that will act as a (I think rtmp) server. I didn't check the technicals details, and he

After seeing a lot of headlines on HN I finally understood that WeWork is a company and not some sort of US institution or some communist worker union (no pun intended, we have those in Europe).

I just built a new workstation and went AMD. I'm amazed by the performances. I have a threadripper 1920 and it performs really well under many different loads (compiling, gaming, video editing). It also handles my dev vms very well. Of

I mostly agree. But lately I've been using Ecto, and I like the approach. It's mostly an SQL generator. So far it's the sanest approach to ORM I've used.
