Sure, but I'm wondering now if an ebook 'brought to you by todo.yt' might not be a better idea in your case. Real experience presented with a real solution. You could collect emails, let people pay what they want (as thanks)

Appreciate you putting this out there. Forced focus, it's a good technique. Why not start a workshop?

This is reassuring. Designers choosing system fonts. As a non-designer, I opted for site-wide Georgia usage recently and was really happy with the result. I was doing it initially partly for performance reasons, and to stop external calls o

Much appreciated - found that (build-dep) out the hard way before checking back here (issue updated for others)... and thanks to the showsrc tip.

Thanks for the encouragement. Had a bit of fun getting it to build correctly[0], but got there in the end! Would love to create a new Deb package but haven't done it before, am short on time etc. - maybe another day. [0] - https:&#x2F

Another thanks here. I'm between cmus and mocp at the moment due to the segfaulting bug on Debian[0] but might try to compile the latest version from source if these have been squashed upstream... [0] - https://bugs.debian.o

Thanks for that - have written up most of the performance work I've done and posted to HN[0] - I see from link [2] above that you retested drupal.org and found render times to have doubled since a recent change. It's so easy to un

Do you use custom scripts for that reading workflow, or something more generally available? Could be a nice partial solution for procrastination.

Am I right in thinking that Dillo doesn't load any JS by default? I'd imagine your user-agent would be quite a giveaway in this case, but still, perhaps nice to use in that respect.

I'll throw in my own 2 cents, in agreement. I have tried to use SPDY, Nginx 'microcaching', Drupal caching to make my own Drupal 7 project load as quickly as possible. I still need to make the font and bootstrap calls local (

Just a little bump - anyone here use translation for their sites/businesses at all? It's a solid, reliable lever for business development, a relatively underused 'growth-hack'.

I'm on hand over the weekend to discuss any of the details, stack, market fit or strategy. Basically an against-all-the-odds single founder, bootstrapped startup needing not very many paid accounts to be profitable (discounting sunk co

Background: Site in development from idea to now for some 5 years. 3rd iteration, finally ready to release though. Lots of learning to get to this stage, with plenty more to go, I'm sure. Doesn't need thousands of accounts to be p

Going to try to apply the £1/$1/€1 trial subscription to my startup - at 80% conversion, it sounds worth a shot, even if it's nowhere near there. The idea of forcing a small commitment seems solid, and is far from new.

I don't use an adblocker, I use a script blocker. It's not about the ads. It's about being re-marketed, tracked, herded, bought and sold by every scummy marketing department in some of the vilest organisations of people the E

Or, 'How HN looks to non-hackers'. Brilliant work. Truly monads in backport VM scandal-worthy.

Just wanted to chime in with a few words of support - have been working on my own 'side-project' on and off for some 2000 days myself. Did pick up some 200 users along the way, but finally got the working MVP ready to go this year

Thumbs up. You must accept that it is not going to offer the variety of features of other platforms. On its own merits it is solid and has much potential in terms of convergence and commitment to open development. Support open computing or

You would have to use an ancient modem or just sync emails by serial cable/irda, but the Psion 5MX was about the pinnacle of portable content creation hardware, IMO. With it you can write emails or whole books if you wish. Some prefer

Consider me suitably humbled. Thanks for a great (the best?) RSS reader. Much appreciation and thanks for the pointer! My own project would involve segmenting common office doc formats for translation, saving translations to translation mem

I used to sync my iPod with foobar2000 on Win7 to avoid having to deal with iTunes - I'm sure there are a few other Linuxy options to explore too. Vive la résistance :)

afaik mocp is it's own daemonized process, so you can close the client and the music keeps on playing; cmus is a standalone client that just reads from the filesystem and URLs and does not daemonize. cmus unfortunately skips and segfau
