Haha, yes!

I am guessing socialism, because that's the context it was replied in

Ah my bad. I was mostly talking about people wanting govt to intervene with prices of things they're buying (employee time, hospital visit, google play store). Apologies, english isn't my first language.
Re:Microsoft's war on plain text email in open source on Thursday August 27, 2020 @12:51AM (#24290223)
The verge article paints a different picture, which I kind of agreed with (as someone who has grown as a developer in last 5-10 years). But then again, I haven't contributed to Linux so it might be a bad thing. FWIW, the problem with email clients seem to be with Google and Apple. My Outlook mail client handles the text email very well!
Been using this for a month, the app is very well designed, and $5 is nothing compared to joy I get by collecting colours during commute and sharing the exact code when I am trying to design with physical world as an inspiration.

I don't even remember why scroll lock exists

Aren't any kind of financial products, insurance tech then? You can theoretically sell them with a couple of clicks.

Won't be able to use it productively without support from Sublime Text :(

VC will not participate in the next round, or vote favourably with founders in next board meeting, or spread false news about work ethics or some other crap, which can lead to a down round. Have seen all the three happen.
Re:Tech Giants Spend $80B to Make Sure No One Else Can Compete on Tuesday September 25, 2018 @12:11AM (#18063530)
I've lately seen myself using the !g flag for a lot of my searches because it seems inevitable when DDG results don't match up.
No, mostly devs who have been burned by bad certs, and devs who's boss bought a certificate and now doesn't remind devs when they get a "reminder" to renew.
I made https://monitorcertificates.com from this simple script - https://hackernoon.com/monitor-your-https-certificate-expiry...

It reminds you when your certificates are due for renewal, or if they have been configured incorrectly.

So I have been a Rubyist for most of my professional life and I was looking to build a static JSON hosting service when I explored Crystal and Amber and within two days of picking it up, had deployed it to production.

Let's see if Hacker News traffic can bring the $5/mo server down.

Re:Designing a RESTful Web API on Friday June 15, 2018 @04:21AM (#17318289)
I wonder how much of this is already supported by framework (specifically thinking about Rails). Things like ETag caching and Options requests look like they should be handled for you.

Is it going to be like GitLab?
Re:Why founders need hobbies on Thursday May 10, 2018 @09:22AM (#17038575)
Yes, I am. But from a Youtube channel called "Hoffman Academy". It's aimed at kids below 15, but I like it.

I've recently (since about 5 months) started learning Piano (or rather, keyboard) and I've looked forward to playing it everyday. It's relaxing and helps me reduce the stress. Plus, it helps me get out of my comfort zone and give me wonderful new perspective on things.

And for the past 2 months, I am also taking tennis lessons, and they've had unexpected positive influences on my life. I am waking early everyday to play, I've improved my stamina, and I get a solid sleep at the end of the day because physical activity tires out over the day and you easily sleep.

10/10 would recommend hobbies to all.

1. Pinboard charges money for their product and eventually buys former free-product competitor Delicious.

2. Smugmug charges money for their product and eventually buys free-product competitor Flickr.

Charging customers for your service really does help you win in the long run.
