"JavaScript: The Good Parts" was a great and a very important book back in the day. I am sure it inspired many of the improvements JavaScript has seen since then. But as it has seen these improvements, and as they were many indeed

FWIW, there is a tiny webapp on the device that you access when you follow the instructions above. You do not need to install anything and it worked perfectly fine for me so far. Also, you can ssh into the device and even get root access. I

It is so nice to see this on here. I started frab way back for FrOSCon, a german free and open source software conference (which you should totally attend if you can make it!). I stopped contributing when I stopped organizing FrOSCon, but t

Also, the 5.1 series will not receive any future security fixes now that 6.0 is out. So you could consider upgrading to 5.2 instead of 6.0. This is just one minor version step so should be less daunting. And 5.2 will receive security update

Read about passopolis ( https://passopolis.com/ ) here on HN. It is a fork of mitro, a former lastpass competitor. A quick google search also turns up Passbolt ( https://www.passbolt.com/ ). I cannot comment on

The articles mentions the approach to have one schema per tenant but sadly does not mention this again afterwards. Are there serious issues with this approach I am not aware of?

Please note that asciidoctor already is an alternative implementation. The original asciidoc tool ( http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/index.html ) is written in python. Both, the original and asciidoctor, offer a CLI too

Thanks! This is really nice. I find it frustrating to browse remote job ads only to find out at the end, that they mean "remote, but US only". (Of course I can understand why US companies make this restriction, I just wish other j

I remember being very intrigued by the article back in the day and I revisited it at least twice to find out if steve ever confirmed what language he was writing about. Today people seem to take for granted that the NBL was in fact javascri

There is no hype (yet). Crystal as a language is still very much a work in progress. That is why Amethyst is kind of a big thing. It is not an alternative to rails (again: yet), but as a real world application it may help shape and advance

I am also pro-retainer. I look at it this way: If under this agreement you realistically need to spend some time every day (or every other day, or even one day a week) for this client you need to plan ahead for this. And that means you cann

You should have tried searching for GnuPG: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=GnuPG&sort=byPopularity&prefix... I remember it made the front page (but that might have been during business hours here in europe).

One problem with dual-licensing though is that open source contribution becomes unnecessarily hard. Every contributor will have to sign a Contributor License Agreement, that at the very least allows you to dual-license their code. Many CLAs

I always wanted to try and test this approach, as I am convinced that a lot (most?) of the value in SaaS is in hosting. Operating your own servers is a huge hassle, and many people will gladly pay someone to do it for them. Also if you open

This is certainly true. Content management systems are a dime a dozen. Locomotive is nice, but others have more developers, features, mindshare, exposure etc. Hard to compete with that. Still, I believe Locomotive already serves a niche: It

I do not know Lennart personally, but I was in the audience when he spoke at FOSDEM a few years ago. He came across as a smart and nice enough person. It makes me sad to see the kind of attacks he has to endure. Initial reactions here on HN

Do not get me wrong, I do not disagree with his findings. That is probably very accurate and that is awful. But originally he was not out to mine this data. He actually needed a place to live, and I wanted to point out that he might have ap

I cannot help but wonder if you actually got what the article says. Sure, forcing your 4 year old to practice some skill for hours each day might lead to her becoming a "stand-out star" in that field. But will it also lead to her

I have been looking for something like this a while ago. I was very dissatisfied with the existing solutions. This looks a lot nicer. I hope to find some time to play with this. Thanks for sharing!

This kind of advice pops up on HN from time to time and while I believe it to be valuable, I guess it is at least incomplete. Here are two stories from my failed ventures to augment this advice: 1) Years ago I started a small side-business
