I like the multiple tab selection feature. Kudos for Mozilla for their continued hard work on Firefox.

As someone that lives in NSW, I find this to be very sad and distressing. You should complain to Westpac and the government to let them know that this is not okay.

I agree. The author released this library under MIT license which explicitly states that there is no warranty. Yet some people in the GitHub issue thread are acting as though the author owed something to them personally.

I find that the best way to take notes without slowing down the velocity is to minimize the context switching by embedding note taking to the environment. Note-taking shouldn't be done by an external application because then users have

I don't see any advantages of using a desktop environment over using a tiling window manager like i3wm. Therefore debates such as Gnome VS KDE never really makes sense to me. What are some reasons to use a desktop environment rather th

I like that it is open source and I can self-host. Were there any security concerns for open sourcing the project? And what makes you choose AGPLv3?

I wrote a cron job to send me weekly email digest of things I learn. During the week days, I use my open source program [0] to quickly write down things as I learn them. On Friday, I receive a email digest to refresh my memory. This method

I love DDG! It's been my main search engine for some time now. But sometimes when I am searching for a solution for complex problems, I fall back to google by using `g!` because that, time and again, seems to take me to the answers fas

Surely that is your pitch. But what I am getting at is how you arrived at the particular claim that this tool "accelerated [your] development work 10-fold," and "10 x Faster API debugging" which was the original title. W

Some feedback: * How did you measure that your development work was accelerated 10x faster? Or is that just a hyperbole? I think this matters because otherwise you are making claims that are not justified. * When I visit the website, it aut

The author does not put on very solid argument. "a company I interviewed at was not receptive of my GitHub profile" is not a very good reason for hiding real name. Also the author claims that open source contributors will face per

Knowledge is free. There are many other ways to improve programming skills other than being indebted to some for-profit company.

I think it's a great write-up. Didn't mean to disparage your work.

This is pretty cool. But i feel that there's nothing "show hn" about it.

I find that the best way to build docs is to use some sort of a static html generator and host the html yourself, which is not at all hard to do. There are free and open source themes available to host your own docs in various site generato

For one and a half year, I built and used a personal knowledge base that works in my terminal and a web browser. I have found some interesting things: * if we go overboard, organizing, not learning, often becomes the goal in itself. * searc

I think when it comes to programming, we are all just beginners with different levels of cultivated intuition. Sometimes we might feel that we are 'stuck' at a beginner phase because we define the expert status purely in terms of

My tip is to break down your knowledge into very small chunks and store them somewhere easily accessible and searchable. I have been looking for a solution for this, and that led me to build a system for myself and open source it [0]. In sh

I like the content of the article but did not appreciate the out-of-place call to action to try their service right in the middle of the body ("LogRocket is working on ... Click to check it out."). In my opinion, those call to act
