I would use this if there was an easy way to integrate it with plaid. (login once and keep data synced). This would be comparable to personal capital at that level.
if they were using mac, better way would just be to check /var/spool/cups and see if the file is present.
Re:Decrypting your own HTTPS traffic with Wireshark on Sunday March 20, 2022 @05:23PM (#30746795)
how would this work for custom applications? Say I have a C program which does openssl handshakes inside. How can we implement the same SSLKEYLOGFILE functionality in it

Ask HN: Is there a better PCAP analyzer than Wireshark?

Wireshark is great, it has all the bell and whistles. The one thing that is severely lacking is the experience when analyzing a capture. You can only follow one tcp/udp stream at a time which means most of the time spent is just going from one stream to another and no ability to clearly co-relate from multiple streams. Just having multiple tabs for various streams would make it so much...

Re:The power of HTTP headers and examples on Monday November 09, 2020 @03:39PM (#25039599)
another HTTP header that I recently came to know about is the "Expect" header. Basically used to send just the request without request body and send the body only after the server responds with HTTP status code 100.
Re:Chess’s Cheating Crisis on Monday October 19, 2020 @02:49PM (#24829557)
the UX with puzzles on chess.com is much better. The analysis after the game is also pretty cool. It did help me become better. (I'm a super noob) I would happily use lichess but there's a lack of feedback after games there (IMO)
Re:How India Censors the Web on Wednesday September 30, 2020 @01:05PM (#24640975)
I just see encrypted DNS on the website. Is there more information somewhere else on how it avoids SNI blocks?
Re:How India Censors the Web on Wednesday September 30, 2020 @01:03PM (#24640953)
true, but don't underestimate them. They blocked entire twitch just because one streamer was streaming IPL (Cricket) on it.
Re:How India Censors the Web on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @07:29PM (#24634270)
with SNI based blocked, its almost there. The solution to that will be TLS1.3 ESNI or VPN. (but they can block VPN as well from SNI)
Re:Cloudflare was down on Friday July 17, 2020 @05:46PM (#23876246)
who deployed on a friday afternoon?
On the one hand its super convenient to have the ISP router. They can reboot it remotely and troubleshoot. On the other hand its fully locked down, I cant even change DNS. I don't pay for renting the router, but if it was an unreasonable amount I would move.
Nice, it has some similarities to what I had done earlier. A reddit bot which reads articles and posts a summary in the comments. It lived entirely on the heroku using free dyno. Didn't know there was an API marketplace!

Got it, thanks!

I think font size is ok, I will add an invisible scroll bar in case the text overflows in the title.

Can you give me an example of what kind of color and when?

Thanks for the feedback!

Re:Show HN: Improved My News App, Would Love Feedback on Tuesday January 16, 2018 @09:43AM (#16158483)
Oh thanks, this is great! I didnt know this was so easy to implement.
Re:Show HN: Improved My News App, Would Love Feedback on Tuesday January 16, 2018 @09:41AM (#16158470)
Great suggestions, thank you!

I actually forgot to write the two column media query, so I guess thats why it looks bad on landscape mode in phones and tablets.

The menu seems wonky I agree.

Re:Show HN: Improved My News App, Would Love Feedback on Tuesday January 16, 2018 @09:38AM (#16158449)
Yeah good idea, saw that design on many sites but didnt know what it was called until now.
Re:Show HN: Improved My News App, Would Love Feedback on Saturday January 13, 2018 @04:58AM (#16138972)
Its just a means of learning for me. Wanted to learn React and so got on implementing it on a project. I have looked at AMP and it's not hard to implement but that's not what I am going for.
Re:Show HN: Improved My News App, Would Love Feedback on Friday January 12, 2018 @04:16PM (#16136371)
Over the past year, I've become a bit wiser with some professional experience under my belt and thought of implementing the same idea with different technologies and using best practices, example: the previous version hosted on AWS had security policies set to everything open from everywhere and no SSL certificates. Yes, I've wised up now.

Would love any feedback, especially if you could do a quick code review on my Go and React code! React: https://github.com/SalmaanP/FastNews-Frontend-React Go: https://github.com/SalmaanP/FastNews-Backend-Go

I see your point
Re:Show HN: Reddit news subreddits turned into a website on Wednesday August 02, 2017 @07:16PM (#14915549)
hearing that makes me happy
Re:Show HN: Reddit news subreddits turned into a website on Wednesday August 02, 2017 @06:44PM (#14915355)
I could do something about making the layout customizable, so you could have either one article per row or three per row. Did you see the font sizes big on mobile?
