Fabrizio has dropped the price by 40% typically on Black Friday sales. I missed that window and bough full price though, no regrets, it's one of the first customizations to go on a new OS install for me.
Re:Launch HN: Payload (YC S22) – Headless CMS for Developers on Wednesday August 31, 2022 @05:06PM (#32668359)
You should try to get listed on awesome-cms [1] list now too, since you're out with public release. That was the first place I checked for options last time I needed to find a headless CMS.

Has anyone here implemented Google's HIBA (https://github.com/google/hiba) in addition to SSH CA/certs for the extra identity and grant checks?

I'm thinking about implementing HIBA with Vault managed SSH certs, and would appreciate anyone's comments about this approach.

One of the most compact alternative calendar styles I've seen is like this:

Months are offset so weekdays of columns are matching row to row. Looks nicer and more understandable also with weekend columns colored differently.

I have a super simple HTML/JS/CSS variant of it on Gist here: https://gist.github.com/erkiesken/54bdbc069ba7df21eab6e4e480...

Re:DevToys for macOS on Thursday February 10, 2022 @02:00PM (#30290864)
Getting and using a local copy of CyberChef (https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef) covers much more useful tools than this currently. Though this one looks a tad prettier.
Re:Ask HN: What's your current favorite programming font? on Monday December 06, 2021 @01:50AM (#29456949)
I second this, love its narrow width and compact line height, fits quite a bit more info on the terminal and editor than other fonts.
I made something similar for myself, but my needs were to see local and UTC time, and to copy current unix timestamp and current ISO date-time string.

Also has some typographic trickery so the width of time shown is always constant, and doesn't "flicker" on the menu bar moving other icons by few pixels every minute.

Here it is in a gist: https://gist.github.com/erkiesken/e13943550c4b2ba03779d5eac5...

It's been in beta since Feb 2015, and now is up to version 0.9.9.13.5. So looks like they're in no hurry to 1.0 yet :)
Re:YC Seed Deck Template on Monday March 12, 2018 @07:39PM (#16572689)
Typically this means the team has convinced someone they know at these companies to try it or give some feedback on an early version and thus voila you'll find "used by Apple" or something impressive like that in slides :)
There's also very similar project at https://github.com/pelotom/runtypes that our company uses. Don't have enough experience with it yet to say which is better, io-ts on runtypes.

Encoding backtick as unicode escape is one easy enough and "clean" way:

`foo \u0060bar\u0060`

Re:Poly – Browse, Discover and Download 3D Objects on Wednesday November 01, 2017 @07:24PM (#15606432)
The other day I needed a simple coffee mug model to preview a design I was making in Adobe's new Dimensions CC app (basically easy way to add textures to models and envs for product pre-vis).

All the sites I found with quick googling had either unfitting models or weird file formats that Dimensions app didn't accept. But searching "mug" on Poly just now and importing the .obj worked just fine. Slap that design on there, render, review and order custom mug from a nearby printing shop with confidence that the design will fit fine.

Just one use case for free and quality models.

Re:Transform SVG into React components on Monday October 30, 2017 @02:57AM (#15583471)
Yeah, USE tag is pretty buggy across browsers.

Also, sometime you just need to inline SVG, for example if you want some icon path fill color to change on mouse-over. Easy with inline SVG and CSS rule. Can't really do that (well) with external .svg.

So my key was eligible for the coupon and I got full $40 off and free shipping from Yubico store just a moment ago.

Re:Pencil and Paper Games on Wednesday October 11, 2017 @05:02AM (#15448295)
A variant of that game that I've played a lot is to write a sentence, then next person draws that sentence in pictures and folds (hides) the sentence part, next person needs to verbalize the picture again and fold the previous part etc. Often the end result is hilarious.

Maybe combine Keybase git with gopass, that one stores data in a git repo:

Opera (on Mac) for daily use, because of 1-key shortcuts, mouse gestures etc that I'm used to from being long time Opera user.

Chrome is on the side for all my webdev work (but references etc are open in either Opera or Dash). Keeps development stuff vs work/private surfing separate.

Re:Introducing Keybase Teams on Monday September 18, 2017 @04:17PM (#15279142)
Same goes for sub-team name? I.e. don't put private project names, future release date related things etc in there?

Come on, Opera 46 is the same as latest Chrome. Fix your UA detection to be feature based not UA name based.

One really cool reading about reverse engineering obfuscated binaries and protocols, getting around anti-debugger code, etc is this talk from Blackhat about reverse-engineering Skype:

Gives pretty good insight into what steps go into this kind of work.

Re:Heroku CI Is Now Generally Available on Thursday May 18, 2017 @06:53PM (#14371730)
For one, not everyone uses git and GitHub for everything. Some prefer Mercurial and Bitbucket.
You could always disallow consul web interface updates and have `consul kv put` scripts in SCM and validated/deployed automatically.

My default action with these popovers is to Cmd+Opt+C to trigger DevTools Select Element feature, click on the modal background div and just delete it from DOM. Most of the times quicker than hunting for the small X button somewhere.
Any good Ansible (or other) recipes for this? One I found is [0] but can you point to any others?
