Out of interest, why wouldn't PHP be a consideration? I thought it was pretty good now a days...

Yeah, half baked anything is going to screw you over. INI files are certainly programmatically serialisable, otherwise they wouldn't exist. It does move the datatypes to the progra…

I don't order my keys at all. All mine are on a carabiner, for maximum flexibility, it's modular. I'm not taking anything but my front door key for a dog walk, for example. All my …

I love me an INI. By far, IMO, the best human readable config syntax. Sure it's got some gotchas, like all old formats (CSV) there's no spec. But if I have the choice I'd go INI. I…

Is there a bus version? This is excellent.

A tutorial on this was on the front page yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41881204 I don't see why I'd use this over fossil for my personal projects though.

Chrome is worse than Firefox, literally a name and URL for a link and name for folder. At least with Firefox you can tag bookmarks and use keywords. I'm curious how Firefox comes o…

> I think Zim does not really fit into the discussion because it does not rely on easily exchangeable standard software like a file explorer and browsers. Zim is very much based on…

I couldn't agree more. Bookmarks are simply an after thought today, like RSS. I'm looking for a browser with decent bookmark management. Even just a notes field and a saved snapsho…

As a British national I like to think git is a very descriptive name, because git is a git to use and understand.

Came here for a martial arts tutorial, which I thought was a bit weird to see front page on HN, and now I see an alternative to git. I don't particularly like git and for personal …

Nothing, I'm too busy swearing at the computer and threatening to break it in various ways, until I realise I was missing a semi-colon, or I've misspelled a keyword, or any number …

Why not use a wiki? Zim desktop is text based local first. It doesn't handle videos but everything is handled. Search is good and you get the other benefits of a wiki. No mobile cl…

Thanks for this, never knew it existed. Wondering now if there's region specific current events.

My mum has a password notebook which is locked away in a drawer in her house, she knows to use either passphrases or random string that her browser generates for her. For her threa…

I only need one provider. A portable open source encrypted database I'm in control of and can back up and secure as needed. It's what I have now, and have had for years, in my pass…

Pretty extensive comparison. Flutter seems to beat out react native in almost all aspects.

I've not used it for websites but have used it for state management in a flutter app, which seemed waaaaaay simpler than learning and then using one of the many state management sy…

You started by moving the goalposts, then set up strawman arguments, and now resorting to ad hominem attacks. Pathetic really. But I stand corrected, apparently: WFH != WFH. Good t…

I think my main issue is this modern need for "heros" to be beacons of all virtual who from birth never said or did anything that anyone in the future of humanity will ever disagre…

Certainly pro Russian propaganda wants him dismissed like this and compared to murderers for comments made over 15 years ago. I'm sure those comments justify all that happened to h…

Can anyone tell me why you'd want to do this? What use case is there for running Linux apps on android beyond curiosity or just because? Personally if I need to do work that requir…

Haha dream job it is not, but a definite benefit is you never take it home. And I am never not paid overtime if I work beyond my hours. I could definitely get a better paid job but…

If it's silly and pedantic to assume we're talking about the thing plainly stated in both the title and body of the article, then yes I am. Now if you're actual stance is that when…
