I don't eliminate the typing, but I use Evernote to grab a picture of the receipt, then tag it with the trip that I am on.

This at least reduces the burden of figuring out what receipt goes with what and I have a copy of it at all times in case of issues.

I typically listen to podcasts when writing documentation, but when it comes to real development time, I listen to "minimal techno"/edm as in Tycho, deadmau5, marshmello, apex twins, thievery corporation, ODEZA, Emancipator, Tame Impala

Re:Ask HN: What alternatives to Powerpoint/Prezi are there? on Saturday October 28, 2017 @12:07PM (#15575563)
I use Marp, quick and dirty. But it allows for Markdown to PDF presentations.
Re:Ask HN: Which is the best laptop for programmers under budget? on Wednesday September 20, 2017 @12:28AM (#15290866)
This was my setup for some time:

Chromebook https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Chromebook-Wi-Fi-11-6-Inch-Mo...

Secure Shell https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhec...

DigitalOcean $5 droplet https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

Free GitHub account (swapped back and forth between bitbucket)

For editing, I just became really good at vim. Then, if I was feeling froggy:

https://c9.io/, the free tier if needed.

So in the end, there was the initial cost $212 for the lappy (it's really small and lightweight too, great lappy), then a $5 recurring charge for the droplet that I would tunnel and own projects from there.

If you do think this path will be advantages, just be careful, get a simple DNS (hover.com) record too, things change you might want to move to a different provider.

Total Upfront cost: $222 + $5 + $20 doe DNS. Then recurring monthly is $5. The recurring yearly $20 for DNS. The first Year you are looking at $55, not including the upfront cost. Then the second year and going forward you are $60/yr and $20/y

The super nice part of all of this. you can destroy your environment with a vengeance, then start up a new droplet and things will be back to normal

This lappy did its job and is retirement with the significant other doing bills and looking at Facebook. Somedays I still wonder if that lappy misses the days of writing code till late in the morning on the back and only having to run the charger cable once. I would like to think it does.

My personal note, stay out of the cool guy editors at first. Use a minimal setup until you know exactly what you will be working on.

rsync -avz project_files/ [email protected]:/

Essentially production was not acceptable for a little bit....

for my mic, I use http://www.bluemic.com/products/snowball/ really good and takes care of the background noise for you.

then for my headphones, I use JBL Bluetooth headphones or mpow wolverine ear buds.

the combination works pretty well

Turn my sudo movie/book/comic/game review site into something a little more
hover.com is probably the best that I have used.

Re:Hackathon Weekend Project – VUp on Sunday November 16, 2014 @11:49PM (#8616889)
We made this project to allow for development teams to easily build and configure their local environments to easily match what they may have in production.

Eventually we will be using vUp as the base, allow people to download their docker files and move them to production without missing a beat.

Definitely curious to what people think
