I've put 15 minutes of my work into configuring the app. Even on that surface level I can conclude that the application is full of bugs that impact accounts and savings. It looks g…

I've only used Fedora for the last 3 years as my main OS but some things you've mentioned (which I consider important examples) are far better than you might think. What I know of …

A hint that might help at least partially: novadays for managing digital and handwritten notes I juse Joplin, but before that I was an avid Evernote user. Having a paid plan active…

Alex Soojung-Kim Pang - "The Distraction Addiction" I found it to be immensely helpful at a certain point in my life when I had to deal with huge workloads, and I was not ready for…

I just wanted to say that you made my day, @retSava, with that /r/linkedinlunatics community :D I haven't been reading my LI feed for at least 6 years now. I had no idea how quirky…

Some less obvious ones for Chromium based browsers I use: - Privacy Redirect [redirects you on the fly to custom frontedns for popular services like YT, Reddit, Wiki, etc.] - Buste…

I'm sure you're going to find you niche @rmoon. I'm not in your target group, since in a case of being threatened I’d rather write a quick and dirty dead man’s switch myself, never…

@pramodbiligiri, would you be willing to share a little bit more about how the thext-to-speech is utlized in your project? What provider do you use, the costs related to it, is it …

This is where I’m getting suspicious. 30M isn’t a trivial amount of money… @Andrew_nenakhov’s comment is on point. Normal initiatives of this kind are organized differently. This d…

I run a small website with 5000 unique users per month (.net core, server side rendered). It's hosted on an old Banana Pi with 1GB RAM, no ups, via my home internet connection (but…

Regardless of the questions stated, thank you for mentioning Starlabs Systems, @mateuszf. I’ll be looking for an Intel-ME-free laptop during my next purchase and I had no idea abou…

My mistake, I left the $ sign before the URL by accident. Yesterday was late when I was trying that and I made a noob mistake. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Wit…

I'm trying to use curl the mentioned way via Windows' WSL. It only partially works - the summary is correct, but the compound values are all zeros. Ideas why? time_namelookup: 0.00…

'How do you unit test your code without mocks?' I strongly recommend reading "Unit Testing: Principles, Practices, and Patterns" by Vladimir Khorikov. That's going to answer your q…

I'm speechless, @OP. It ceases to amaze me that people who aren't in a position to generate value for others often generate more of thereof than a regular, healthy individual. I'd …

I've been working for a couple multinational corporations during last 10 years or so and I never had ANY issues with using Tor in the workplace.

What works for me: it's not a problem with tools, but with tactics of communication. Make one person from every company you work with responsible with keeping you in the loop (that…

Sometimes it's just harder to appreciate and enjoy freedom we've generated for ourselves than actually to make all that work leading to that freedom. It's a self-resolving paradox …

This. Being prepared and thinking clearly is the cornerstone of being able to practice indifference to fate. I'm also in a good shape thanks to that philosophy, and moreover - than…

The most basic definition of stoicism is "indifference to fate". In that scope Taleb definitely is a stoic. His approach toward stoicism, though, is less philosophy focused and mor…

I feel you, man. Thanks for the info about the web version, BTW. For my taste even the mobile versions of OF aren't a real thing and are acceptable only on-the-go, even the iPad on…

That's true. OF is the king of all GTD task management systems and have been since always. It's the only thing I miss after abandoning Apple ecosystem years ago. People who don't d…

Gotcha. I hope that you're going to find more reasonable options in your location. In Europe there's no problem with that and never has been. X1 is a rather expensive machine (and …

Here we go again. It took less than 5 minutes for the above post to be down-voted by a progressive guerilla of HN. Some people simply can't stand facts... This only confirms that o…

This is not a problem with technology at all. It has to do with people's morality first and foremost. With Christianity dying in the western world we've found ourselves without a c…
