If you go to https://www.fitbit.com/settings/profile and click Delete Account, the data seems to be deleted after 7 days.

Thanks. I'm looking at doxygen right now. Looks like it has support for generating dependency graphs.

The Architecture of Open Source Applications

To the list above, also include unit testing with preferably at least 80% code coverage. I'm always amazed how easy it is to break things on the frontend without even realizing it. You make one little change here and it breaks somewhere else.

Re:Ask HN: What are the best hacks to fight depression? on Thursday June 14, 2018 @08:52AM (#17311241)
For me, it's following the 5x5 workout routine: https://stronglifts.com/

It's 6am in Seattle right now. I woke up and I'm about to go to the gym and do my 5x5 workout. I do this 3 times a week and it changed my life ever since I started doing it two years ago.

Ask HN: How to protect against scraping?

I own a website with lots of financial information in another country and from time to time I see a huge spike in traffic from certain IP addresses. I'm guessing they're trying to scrape the information I provide. I then go and block these IP addresses manually by updating my nginx config to deny requests from those addresses. This works fairly okay, but requires manual intervention.The website...

Re:OpenMoko: 10 Years After on Monday July 24, 2017 @01:42PM (#14840752)
I was one of the Google Summer of Code "interns" for OpenMoko back in 2008. I was so excited to get the free OpenMoko device and actually implemented gesture recognition and screen orientation for the device part of the GSoC project. Here's a video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2S2rQUETwc

But let me tell you about the device:

1. You couldn't even make a phone call with it. There was a hardware bug that stopped it from making phone calls. It was basically a PDA...

2. If the battery ever ran out, you couldn't start the phone anymore. You had to have a spare Nokia phone that you'd use to charge that battery. Thank god they were using Nokia-compatible batteries. The gist was, never ever to let the phone's battery reach 0%.

3. The development of any UX components was cumbersome. They always insisted in supporting GTK and another platform which I forgot its name. They were such a small team and yet they were building two projects which essentially were doing the same thing. Why?!

Those three were just a few problems. The Freerunner was definitely not a user-friendly phone.

Re:Ask HN: How do you backup your linux system? on Friday July 07, 2017 @04:40PM (#14721874)
BackupPC has helped me restore my RabbitMQ queues several times. Love BackupPC.

It has an ugly looking interface, but the core of the product is super reliable.

I've started exercising seriously last September. I've been waking up at 5am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday since then and never felt better. I'm 31. I was always super skinny, but that's no longer the case now.

I've gained 25lbs since then by following the 5x5 workout routine. I highly recommend it. There are good apps for the 5x5 workout routine in the app stores too. https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

Go to the gym three times a week for 1 hour and follow the 5x5 routine. You're always sore, but after a while you get used to it. Now I enjoy it a lot. Find a buddy to go to the gym with; that helps a lot.
