Re:Tell HN: Twilio quietly removes Authy iOS app from Mac App Store, s... on Friday September 13, 2024 @05:58AM (#41529658)
This was quite alarming! I thought it meant that Authy is discontinuing their iOS app entirely. Would have been great to mention even more explicitly that this does not impact iOS devices.

As of now, I can still see Authy on my iPhone App Store (last update 3 days ago). Indeed, I am not able to install it from Mac App Store on my desktop/laptop.

In any case, this resulted in my offboarding all my 2FA to a different app. Sorry, Authy and Twillio...

I am surprised nobody suggested Slax yet.

Re:Ask HN: What skill do you want to develop or improve in 2023? on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @12:41AM (#33876329)
I share this sentiment. Would be interesting to see how many folks this resonates with, maybe it's the beginning of a wonderful support group. And the irony that it started on HN will be lost on... well, nobody!

Re:Ask HN: Resources for building own ad server? on Saturday February 24, 2018 @09:33PM (#16456801)
You can also take a look at open source projects that already do this. Revive AdServer [0] is done in PHP and it’s very feature-rich.

Re:Ask HN: What's the best book on leadership you know of? on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @10:16PM (#15024471)
I'd recommend "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink. Yes, it's heavy on the military tone, the guy is a Navy SEAL. But I found the advice in the book most applicable in my role as a leader and manager.

Nice suggestions! Thanks!

Ask HN: What are good practical programming books?

Posted by sol2k on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @10:11PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am looking for practical programming books. Think "Practical Common Lisp", "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" or "Ruby on Rails Tutorial". These examples happen to be freely available online, but I am looking for free or paid options for the following languages/frameworks: Clojure, Go, Rust, C#, React, Flask, Django, Swift.Any others that you may know of and care to share would be welcome.

Re:Ask HN: Best island to live and work from? on Monday October 22, 2012 @01:56AM (#4682019)
Singapore. Seriously, check it out. Great stability, awesome for business, gateway between east and west (in both directions), thriving startup scene, govt grants for entrepreneurship. Downsides: cost of living is a bit high, culture can be hard to adapt to for some, weather can be stiffling (equatorial tropics are hot and muggy).
