   The review video that "killed the company" was great. The entire time, I was bracing for the moment when the founder would offer a kickback for a good review, expecting a number above at least $2500. $500. He offered this guy 500

   KeePassX has been on my radar. I think I gravitated towards Enpass because the UI is more similar to 1Password. I originally used lastpass years ago and I tried it again recently and hate it. I didn't try the cli, though. That would ce

   Is KeeWeb new? I went through an extensive search for a new password manager a few months ago when I transitioned from macOS to Arch Linux and yet I've never heard of it. I ended up settling on Enpass which is decent but not perfect. K

   I'd imagine such a mechanism would be a decent bit heavier than standard airline recliners (as mentioned in the article, "Today, an economy seat that tips the scales above 9 kilograms (20 pounds) is, by an airline’s measure, too h

   Possibly a silly question, but is it possible for a 'healthy' person who doesn't have any cancer risk factors to get a test like this done?

   Here's [1] the official press release from Amazon. Not sure what's up with the weird URL, I got there from Amazon's `About` page. 1: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-ne...

   My biggest issue with regular expressions is remembering the exact syntax of each of the different common regex engines. Javascript, Perl, `grep`, `grep -E`, vim, `awk`, `sed`, etc... Each one seems to have slightly different syntax, requir

   Do you think free IP DB providers insert "fictitious entries" [1] to identify breach of TOS like this, similar to what happened between Google/Bing a few years ago [2]? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fi

   I used cVim for a few months and loved it. However, I recently discovered SurfingKeys[1] and I think it's even better. All configuration is done in JavaScript rather than cVim's weird viml clone language. SK is way more flexible i

    Does anyone know if any tools exist on Linux which can be used for early detection of ransomeware? Something that monitors file access, disk activity, etc. for suspicious behavior and can trigger some action or alert? I think I remember som

    Wow, that sounds ridiculous. What's the reasoning behind that policy?

    Except that they disabled the scrolljacking, which is a nice touch at least.

    We don't know about the specifics of the accident, but I just want to say that simply not being "at fault" is not the same thing as driving safely. A large number of accidents can be avoided by the non-"at fault" pa

    I do most of my work from within a single tmux session, so this isn't super useful for me. However, I heavily use tmuxifier [1] which I've extended with some custom shell scripts which further enhance my workflow. Instead of laun

    This seems relatively complex for being the first Go program. I suppose they wanted to test something non-trivial which took advantage of most of the implemented language features. I guess I was expecting something closer to a hello world p

    Any idea of how to do something like this for R?

    My apologies. I hope you understand at least why I thought that. :)

    Oh interesting, I didn't realize it was a very special build of Go itself. I did know it was restricted, I guess I just underestimated how difficult that is to do. I didn't think the restrictions were actually implemented in the G

    This is why I don't comment on HN. Maybe I'm stupid and just always make stupid comments, but I think the attitude you displayed with your "umm, no" is way too common around here. Is it too hard for you to not be condesc

    It would be neat if there was a Go Playground running the latest beta/RC version of Go. (Or is there?) I wanted to quickly test out the new struct type conversion behavior and obviously my code[1] doesn't compile on the normal pla

    They only have one book listed for California. Do you know of any similar companies more focused on CA? I'm specifically interested in the Vehicle Code.
