    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 …

    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 desig…

    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 datab…

    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 mobi…

    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 virtua…

    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, comm…

    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 …

    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 …

    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…

    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 woul…

    What about chromebrew [0] (homebrew for chrome os)? [0]: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew

    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 understa…

    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 fo…

    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 l…

    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 …
