Hey, this is my blog, thanks for sharing! I've been finding myself increasingly annoyed by non-coding managers thinking AI is going to bring 190% reduction of cost, or will replace…

I've used it for 15 years and ST is still the first thing I install on a new PC. All thoughts, meeting notes, journals, blog post drafts... everything is jotted down in ST first. I…

Exactly. A video on YouTube posted '1 month ago' is not the latest episode I'm looking for. Much quicker to interpret than a timestamp. Sometimes a fuzzy date is enough. Especially…

Android Studio offers this out of the box since the beginning of this year, I believe

The apps do, but the website does not. music.google.com used to have native support, but to cast music.youtube.com you have to cast the tab, which is far less than perfect. (Instea…

And still no Chromecast support.

Makes sense. The principle of 2FA is to combine 'something you know' (a password) with 'something you own' (your phone). I guess the biometric lock is 'something you are' on top of…

I agree with this comment completely. Adding a biometric lock would turn it into 3FA. Not sure if HN allows to plug your own apps, so please forgive: I made an app a while ago that…

That's a plastic 'Flippo'. Similar to cardboard milk caps but they came in bags of potato chips and are made of plastic.

Not necessarily dark though... as an app developer I'd actually really want to hear the feedback from the people who dislike my app. As in any business, oftentimes the most disgrun…

I've used Xamarin for several projects and I greatly regret that decision. Granted, most of my hatred is targeted towards Xamarin Studio and Xamarin.Forms so if you use Visual Stud…

Thanks! I didn't know that, but I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hi, and thank you for Wallabag! I've been happily using the self-hosted version for quite a while now. At some point I forked[1] the Android app but development stalled when I need…

Ah, thanks, that makes sense.

I think what they mean is that you don't have to type any javascript yourself, such as setting onclick-listeners. At the top of the page it reads "CSS powered (jQuery fallback)", h…

We prefer native 99% of the time. Performance of HTML is easily outmatched by native on both iOS and Android, and the multi-platformness of HTML is usually limited if you want to a…

Perhaps they're just keeping an eye on their competitor?

Ironically enough, I went to log in to HN specifically to upvote comments in this thread, forgot my password and had to use the 'email yourself a new password' function. Granted, i…

When I was young my dad's computer had Office with a localized version of VBA, in Dutch. If I'm correct it was Office 95. I've tried to use it for a while but it was horrible; even…

I like the reasoning behind this and I really welcome the simplicity of giving feedback, but the way it is implemented here does not really make things clearer. The link makes me t…

Coincidentally I've asked a question about login system just two days ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4225270 ) where I mentioned BrowserID as one of the options. Apparen…

Thanks! I didn't think about LastPass, but since the website will be targeted (mostly) towards a hacker crowd it makes sense that many of the users will use a password manager like…

For a web based hobby project I want to allow users to log in and save data in their own accounts. I want to make this as simple as possible (both in terms of development and user …

This is not a website with a searchable archive, but it collects websites that send you an email saying 'you just signed up and this is your password': http://plaintextoffenders.co…
