"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 see…

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. A…

Do you know if any linux distributions ever fixed it in their packages?

FrOSCon (free and open source software conference) decided to go fully online this year. A lot of talks are in german, but many are in english. See the schedule here: https://progr…

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 s…

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 s…

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.passbo…

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 o…

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 co…

Have a look at piwik: http://piwik.org/

Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was looking for.

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 peopl…

> I'm not sure how you feel, dear reader, but my Ruby environments feel like one giant, brittle hack Of course things are not perfect (and guix may have a few cool ideas), but I th…

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), bu…

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 cli…

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 busine…

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…

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…

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 …

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 ki…

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 pl…
