You don’t even need to do that. Once you have Residency (distinct from Permanent Residency and Citizenship - the one with the passport) you are allowed to start your own company which you can use to contract yourself out to Australian compa

This used to happen to me constantly. I fixed it accidentally in switching to Ripgrep [0] which defaults to recursively searching the current directory. Bonus: it parallelises too! Honourable mention also to FZF [1] which not only makes it

Same. How hard is it to make it optional?

I tried that but that just makes you set a PIN which I don't want to do! I appreciate the help though, thank you.

Long-time Signal user but I'm on the verge of moving I think. There are several UX shortcomings but the new PIN nag is a bridge too far. What are my options for alternatives? I imagine Telegram is the next best bet but very open to sug

You can inline the JS to achieve this. ublock will allow you to prevent inline JS execution but NoScript didn't last I checked

A lot of positive comments about Pluralsight here so I thought I'd offer a slightly different perspective: I had a subscription through work and was excited to jump in and learn as much as I could but I found the talks to be quite info

Yep! This is how I started out (I run it one a VPS now so I'm not tied to my home network) and it works fine. The only limit you're likely to run into is your blocklists filling RAM. I have a 5M+ long blocklist and it won't f

Glad to see it finally officially accepted. I've been using it on all my devices for over a year now and it's been rock solid. The ease of setup and initial connection speed alone blow any of the alternatives (that I'm aware

Looks like he sold his medal [0] to ameliorate his loss of earnings; perhaps that's to what GP was referring. [0] - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/11261872/James-Wats...

I don't have one. I did use the web interface for Spotify though and it did some JS stuff when I left it for a bit; that's how I noticed.

A genuinely enjoyable long-form post I read a while back involved Casper [0]. Not sure how germane it is but perhaps someone will enjoy it. [0] - https://www.fastcompany.com/3065928/sleepopolis-casper-blogg...

Not sure if this has changed but I ditched noscript when I discovered it doesn't block inline script execution. These days I use Ublock Origin: Settings -> check 'I am an advanced user'. You should now be able to block 1st

Yep! I have this and it works perfectly. - about:config - dom.webnotifications.enabled = false That's it. Haven't seen one in months.

One thing I notice often gets glossed over when Cambridge Analytica comes up is that they didn't really shut down at all. While CA ceased trading, a company called Emerdata was created around that time by the same directors [0]. Their

There's a semi-secret, invite-only, HN Slack channel. [Edit: I don't think I mean channel but the terminology for what I'm saying eludes me]

I don't mean to be glib but this is a surprise to who exactly? I only know Niantic from Pokemon Go (which requires your GPS to be enabled, presumably) and they're owned by a company whose entire business model is data collection f

This isn't strictly true. The final cPython release (2.7.18) is slated for April next year [0], and PyPy has no such plans to drop support [1]. I don't honestly think Python 2 is going anywhere for a while yet (judging from some o

I'm coming at this from the other side, but as you note, it'll be very interesting to see how it plays out. As a consumer, I don't care what the original poster thinks I should see - they may not even be someone I follow if I

I use CoC.vim [0] with whatever Python plugin they recommend and it's easily been the most painless autocompletion I've ever used in over a decade of Vim. I wrote some (admittedly pretty basic) Python with it last week with no com

I think you're right to explore something else and I'm not aware of anything better than Elixir/Phoenix in the Web Framework world currently. It's incredibly well thought out and an absolute joy to use once you get throu

In the same way that ublock is a must-have extension for many people, I won't browse without cookieAutoDelete [0]. Mostly I don't bother authenticating with websites anymore, and (I think about 3 maybe? And I just reauthenticate w

Brit here who has lived in NZ for a few years. Polled some Kiwis in the vicinity with your example and "yeah nah" is very much negative, even in that instance. I agree that on paper it's a double negative but I suppose we hav

+1 on this. It's pretty easy to ignore ethics when you're being paid orders of magnitude above the median national salary (I would imagine, anyway!). A course is unlikely to change that. I'm not sure this is typical but at a

I would be reticent to praise them quite so effusively, though I do think they're the best of of the big tech companies currently. I'll be watching the development of this suit with great interest: https://time.com&#x2F

That's it. You can get to a terminal and play Maniac Mansion pretty early on in Day of the Tentacle.

I moved over to Poetry recently. Pipenv traded on Reitz's cache as the Reqeusts author and got a lot of adopters, perhaps a little before the software was ready for the primetime. I only tangentially keep my finger on the pulse of the
