Environment variables with fallback to a default value. They're a super cheap way of 1. allowing feature flags 2. injecting credentials in a way the user thinks about exactly once 3. moving workstation-specific details out of your code

Having done the Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, etc. thing a few times before, it doesn't really work for me. I'm not a creative person when it comes to color theory, fluidity of design, what's considered "trendy", or w

Yes, but it's also ridiculous to have the Switch spam IPs in the space like that. Boo on both of them.

100% my favorite function of KeePassXC right there. It's unfortunately not very well highlighted in their docs even though it's the killer feature which keeps me with KeePass databases.

I'm also curious about the same thing. Ever since I started using KeePassXC's autotype feature, I haven't been able to go to any other password manager. Even with the degraded mobile options and having to build my own syncing

I work on OSX and Ubuntu (different workstations, same setup scripts) and python setup has been frustrating for me. If brew updates the version of python, suddenly all of my virtualenvs seem to break. What I've settled on is to use a p

Looks like a potential opportunity to use something like node-unfluff [0] to scrape page content. Pull request anyone? [0]: https://github.com/ageitgey/node-unfluff

As an avid vim user who has tried Evil mode, emacs, and even spacemacs, I fully agree with all of the reasons you listed. To add to it: - *-mode (specific syntax highlighting, commands, etc. based on project or task) - edit/save remote

It seems vim-notes is much more developed for taking general, self-encompassing notes, similar in style to Evernote. I don't see a way to inter-link the notes like vim's help, but it does have far more rich and powerful note-takin

Exactly. They're masters of subtlety, manipulating our species to evolve in just the right way, learn just the right things. We don't experiment on them so much as they experiment on us. Masters of subtlety...

Sounds like a good reason to build a plugin to always sets the http referrer header to google.com on certain news sites.

There's also expandable block storage ( https://www.digitalocean.com/products/storage/ ), though I'm not sure if it fits these circumstances.

Additionally, creating and maintaining a PPA involves one of the following: (a) Use the upload form for Launchpad.net [0] (b) Host your own deb server [1] Unless you use Bazaar for a VCS, the only time you login to Launchpad is to upload a

Really? From a user standpoint it seemed very similar. Either way, I'd definitely be interested in something like homebrew for ChromeOS. Guides for cross-platform capabilities would be most welcome!

Part of the discussion for the downside of centralization on GitHub is that it is also the issue tracker and wiki. Does GitLab offer mirroring for these services too? If I understand OP's question, it seems syncing would involve more t

I'd imagine this only applies if you keep the recording. What about hearing impaired people who might use this for accessibility purposes? One would only need to keep it for the following fractions of a second it takes to turn it into

I see a few attempts by Mozilla at social networks using open web technology. "Hello" was one. I think the distributed, federated approach such as Friendica (et al.) will be more likely to succeed than this, in large part due to d

This is an interesting thought experiment. It seems Mozilla is trying to lower the barrier to entry for the average, small website compared to the giants in the space right now by providing a tool built into the browser itself. In my experi

Agreed, but I've gotten so many games through humble bundles and steam sales that I've had to find an alternative to browse my library. http://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/ https://github.c
