So I saw this and thought why not give it a try. How hard could it be right? My goal? Take my bash file that does just this (I started go just yesterday so I might be doing cross compiling wrong :D) : ``` export GOPATH=$(pwd) export PATH=$P

Surprised no one mentioned file.io. They've been around for a while with the exact same use case + an API.

Off topic. Was browsing on mobile Firefox. I've revoked permissions to access the camera. This site asked for permissions to access it. Not entirely sure why but it might be useful for others to know

Huge props to the DO team. Been a happy user of theirs for years and have always received good service (obviously not the tale for everyone). Lately I've been enjoying their slow but steady move into becoming a stronger offering by giv

Not sure when it came about, but when I first evaluated Concourse, not being able to trigger jobs manually was a primary blocker. Glad this showed up on HN again, because they've added it in at some point. My favourite thing about Conc

It's a matter of personal taste. The only cautionary advice to writers who employ this style would be to tell them that not all exaggerations are equal. Sitting behind the desk when the email came in is a harmless exaggeration. It does

From the perspective of basecamp/37 signals, they've made it a point to do things which most people say "wouldn't work". And they do it and prove that it is possible. A lot of objections one might have to their choi

This was a shocker to read. I never really thought of the CEO of RescueTime, but the product that was made truly fit into the mold of "changing lives". I took my habits of random social media visits from 3 hours a day (stuff accum

It's a wonderful place really. The people are also really nice and my only wish is that we could meet each other more in real life :D. As for tech that we are using, The main app uses php. But lately we've been breaking apart the

Curious why they felt the need to do this at all in this way. Their goal is to maximise profits. How does making people super angry about your service serve that purpose? And they had to know. They had to know the numbers of conversions aft

Life stability. Happiness. In that order. The balance between these two is something I need to maintain in order for me to say whether or not it's time to switch the job. Happiness is a lot of things. This is a personal compass. For me

I really wish they had got a hold of Ray William Johnson to ask him about the rise and fall off the equals three show. He was YouTube's number 1 for a long time. His timeline defined the drama around all aspects of YouTube. From being

that's good to know. I'm actively keeping up with FF updates (stable) and it'll be good to try the nightly updates too

I recently polished a little and released a chrome extension to auto skip YouTube ads after they've played enough to ensure the content creator gets paid. Pretty darn happy with it. https://chrome.google.com/webstore&#x

Had the same idea some time ago but did not have the same level of motivation that you did :D. Lots of kudos. One question I wondered about was the copyright perspective especially in on demand readings. An idea I had was to sell the servic

Thanks for the comment here. I spent some time thinking about this topic. I've done a write up here if you are interested - http://blog.spartakode.com/an-ad-skipper-for-youtube-that-pa... The argument can be summarized

Sadly I'm not in charge of the wording that Chrome puts out. Else it would read "wants permission to see if your URL is a YouTube URL and then insert some JS to control the mute and skip ad button" :D If it helps, the source

Clicking on ads themselves wouldn't be legal. Since this doesn't circumvent normal behaviour and actually waits 31 seconds before skipping an ad, it def isn't illegal. There's no trickery involved either. It's just

Hi HN. This is my first published chrome extension :). I always skip ads in such a way that content creators get paid. But doing that manually especially with playlists can be a little tiring. So I made this extension to do it for me. It&#x

I had a fun one recently. Just the other day in fact. The elastic beanstalk cli from aws was refusing to accept my branches when I tried to refer to a code push from a codecommit repo. Turns out branches with / in it can't be used

Fascinating to see that people choose to drop fb first in most cases. I'm wondering how many are considering WhatsApp as part of fb. In my case I could drop fb and Instagram tomorrow. WhatsApp? That'd be really really really hard

I'm curious though. What does one do if the database goes away? Also, how does one achieve high availability without doubling costs? Is this covered anywhere as a topic area or book or dedicated blog? Quite curious how to get started w
