How does it work with geo-blocking? Especially in areas where the internet is restricted, or even shut off, by the government.
exactly what I need. I always wanted to go away from goodreads.

I think with Dactyl Manuform it's also easier to reach the F-keys. After I paid attention I noticed it's very hard to travel to the F-keys without leaving the default position with my other fingers.

I see, thanks for the reply. I think I can't really judge if I never tried it, but I think that adding an additional key to achieve the shortcuts might make it a little bit awkward. A lot of shortcuts I'm using already need three fingers(shift + cmd + some F-Key)

I agree that the usage of the F-Keys is a little bit complicated, especially if you have small fingers.

A lot of the shortcuts I'm using in my IDE(intellij) are including one of the F-keys. I see that most of those keyboards are not having the top row with the F-keys, so I'm wondering how others deal with this? This was also the reason I bought the Logitech Ergo K860, which is so far pretty ok.

Hard to tell, but from my(developer) point of view I see it as a big benefit to be able to see the code. Plus it gives me the option, in case I like the service and it is discontinued for any reason, to just host it by myself. Also it adds another layer of trust and I have the feeling I can influence the product.

>Do you see model like Ghost could be a strategy to grow Open Source SaaS products?

Definitely, I think Ghost is a very good and successful example of Open Source SaaS.

I really like that more and more developers are doing the open-source/paid service option(no idea what's the term for it). I personally think it's great for both developers and their customers/users.

awesome idea, but I think you should add some more skills to the list.
Re:Kotlin 1.4 on Wednesday August 19, 2020 @09:14AM (#24210001)
I was looking forward to this as well. But then noticed you have to write the fun keyword in front of the interface. Which makes it more like a workaround than a language feature to me.
thank you, seems to look like what I was searching for.
the link doesn't work for me

Ask HN: Where to write a blog post if you don't have a blog?

I don't have a blog and I don't want to set one up. It would just be another personal website being abandoned after one or two blog posts.But now I was working on a solution for a problem where I think it might be beneficial for others if they encounter the same problem. Where can I just write an article about it and publish it?Something that came into my mind was github gist, but maybe there...

I agree, this should be spam.
Re:Absolute truths I unlearned as junior developer on Friday June 07, 2019 @09:56AM (#20124498)
good article, I agree with most of the things. However code reviews that only have comments about code style are kinda useless in my opinion. I rather get 50 comments about how to improve my code instead of missed formatting. (which can be also done automatically)
