https://maps.me/ is a pretty mainstream option.

Been using this for a year now, zero complaints!

Tangential, but koa-router isn't even that great, been using koa-tree-router [0] instead. Fewer dependencies, no API oddities and long-standing bugs [1], faster. It's much younger (less battle-testing), and has no regex and multi-parameter routes, but is worth considering.

You mentioned in another comment that you're from Australia. What made you leave? What's wrong with Sydney, for example?

Check out Waybar [0], it got tray support merged today, with a fix for Electron apps coming soon [1].

mgl64 is generated from mgl32 though [0], so no big deal, no? Who's hurt by this?

Why?

Free for now, but will start paying when I run out of blocks (the usage isn't as high as I expected, only at ~500 out of 1000 right now, though I have imported 4-5 years worth of notes).

Moved to Notion from Marxico+Evernote a couple of months ago, haven't looked back.

Nobody's blaming the website, it can live without EU readers and we can live without it. @mdrzn is merely spreading awareness that this is GDPR-walled, while at the same time expressing discontent that some people still don't know/care about it. Is that unreasonable? I don't know. I guess it'll be decided by how often requests like that appear below GDPR-unfriendly links, and how highly-upvoted they get.

It does do some things faster than vim though: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...

Yes, but touchpads aren't constrained by the necessity of having an integrated high tech light source and a transparent layer on top of it.

I do believe that the savings from getting more dies out of a wafer are non-negligible (wafers themselves are somewhat cheap, but the equipment they're wearing out with each pass - not so much), but my guess is that they aren't the main driver behind the process shrinking.

> npm@6 is up to 17x faster than the npm of one year ago.

I think by "npm of one year ago" they mean npm 4, since npm 5 came out last May. If so, "up to 17x" is plausible. But even though technically true, this is a cheap marketing move, IMO. If one doesn't read carefully, it may register as "npm 6 is 17x faster than whatever came out last year, that is npm 5".

I personally find Chrome's current tab style very geometrically pleasing. I'll even admit that it was one of the reasons why I wasn't using Firefox back in the day (it did have a Chrome skin, but it couldn't replicate the animations). Why give up the iconic shape? Wouldn't flattening suffice?

Looks like this is the Boy or Girl paradox [0], which has ambiguity problems.

Not defending the gaps, but "most of the design tolerances" != "all design tolerances". There's much more to a car than just cosmetics. And I'm not claiming that those non-cosmetic parts are all top quality, just that it's possible that they are.

I'm talking about DNS and nothing else.

Okay, say, 1 year from now, somehow, 95% of internet users are sending their DNS queries to Cloudflare. What can go wrong? Malicious or not. Not rhetorical, actually curious.

> only the domain nameserver owner knows what queries you made (and you are probably hitting that domain in a moment anyway!)

But these are different people, with different incentives. The NS owner may be logging everything, without the domain owner's knowledge, and the NS owner won't even be in the wrong, because they likely made no promise to not log.

With a single resolver, I can verify that they're trustworthy enough [for me], just once, and direct all my traffic to it. Cloudflare's "We committed to never writing the querying IP addresses to disk and wiping all logs within 24 hours" is something, I imagine, they very much wouldn't want to be caught violating or changing their mind about later.

In the meanwhile, with the root NS method, I can only hope that my queries will get lost in the "noise". And I'm putting noise in quotation marks because there isn't much diversity in the name server ownership: 75% of Alexa top 1M domains are hosted at Cloudflare, GoDaddy and Amazon. [0]

You are correct. Got too used to the "just add everything to regular dependencies" shortcut in private projects, which doesn't cut it for published modules.

It is neither, devDependencies is a redundant distinction for projects where a module bundler is involved, like Webpack, since there's no scenario where you wouldn't want to pull these dependencies.

With a fingerprint passthrough? :)

"Time spent thinking" counts for Ngrok too: comparing alternatives is a pragmatic thing to do, before pulling a trigger on something. Not to mention that this is all part of reading Hacker News (I found frp through some previous thread).

Setting up a VPS with frp on it would take 30 minutes tops (assuming that I don't already have one and that I'm in no hurry). Even if I was some big shot, doing $120 an hour, that's just 60 / (10 - 3) = 8.5 months of Ngrok. These $60 would be a good investment by my book.

But I'm not counting pennies here, I'm merely pointing out that the pricing is unreasonable. I can afford it, but its usefulness per dollar is disappointing.

For example, compose.com can host a Pg database for $17, one master and one slave, with automatic backups, a rich control panel, competent customer support, batteries included. It's maybe only twice as expensive as replicating the setup on your own (which would take literally weeks for a single person), and brings almost as much value as hiring a sysadmin. And then there's Ngrok, 3-4 times as expensive as DIY, while saving you a total of 30-60 minutes of one-time effort. And costs more than a half of a pretty great Pg server. Ridiculous.

Props to the people behind Ngrok, if they're in the black with this pricing. Good strategy/marketing.

Nice tool, but without committing for annual billing (which I don't intend to do, not for the first year of usage) it's $10 a month. My internet connection, my mobile plan, my Photoshop & Lightroom subscription, a huge collection of music (Spotify), 3K~5K movies and TV shows (Netflix), etc., all cost approximately the same. I mean, sure, $120 a year is pocket change for somebody using Ngrok professionally, but that's still super disproportional, compared to, say, monster of a piece of software like Photoshop. I'd probably subscribe for $2, but otherwise, IMO, frp [0] on a $3 VPS [1] is better value, with the extra benefit of being FOSS and having zero limits.

Why throw the baby out with the bathwater?

What I did was I've unsubscribed from all people and pages on Facebook, unsubscribed from all Reddit subs, and unsubscribed from all YouTube channels. In the end, I've learned to stop visiting facebook.com, since all I was seeing was an empty page, but at the same time I avoided giving up my network, and I can still check up on people when I remember about them, I can keep using Messenger and I can keep using Facebook as an identity provider on other websites. Not to mention that this way I don't have to throw out years of stuff generated by me (which can be painful with photos, especially for a data hoarder like me). Same goes for Reddit and YouTube (I keep my comment and post history, the ability to participate in discussions, my uploaded videos, and more).

For Hacker News, which is too valuable to me as a knowledge expanding tool, I did something else: I've started using the "top 10" section on hckrnews.com. I can keep checking it however many times I want, but I'll get stuck in at most 10 comment threads per day, which I consider to be a reasonable compromise (this thread being one of them </meta>).

Never used Twitter, but I suppose something similar can be accomplished by muting all the accounts you're following.

YMMV.

Tried building a business, didn't work out, eager to move on :) At the moment, I'm most proficient in full-stack web development and UI design, which I'm perfectly content with, but I have quite a bit of experience in other areas, and would love to broaden my horizons further.
