Cameri··on Ask HN: I want to be an expert in many things but my lifetime won't be enough
I like being a jack-of-all-trades too, but it is taxing. My way of dealing with my insatiable thirst for knowledge is to pick a topic/problem/project or two at a time. It's hard but without focus I don't get anywhere.
Cameri··on Tell HN: Heroku alternatives with generous free tiers
Perhaps you can work with faculty or universities and verify students with email from that institution. You are also getting them while they are young for what it's worth.
Cameri··on My Google Cloud was suspended too
Decentralization is the only way it's safe out here. Once you give this much power to a monopoly we just look like insects to them. I've moved most of my accounts outside of Google that if I were to lose them it'd be a shame but not a total loss for me. I could then rebuild. Support the little guy today and you will have immunity by decentralization.
Cameri··on From August 1: Cash transactions above NIS 6k illegal
Canada has a very dark history of violence against natives. The reputation of "being nice" is a recent media myth.
Cameri··on Just got this notice from my bank: No more Firefox
Seems like you forgot what it was like when Internet Explorer was the dominating browser.
Cameri··on Facebook has started to encrypt links to counter privacy-improving URL Stripping
Firefox and Brave should warn the user that they are going to be tracked by accessing URLs like these if tracking protection is enabled.
Cameri··on Show HN: Ants Sandbox - an ants simulator
Doesn't work well on Firefox Android. Zooming in causes the map to fly away who knows where.
Cameri··on Meta Accounts: A New Login for VR
NewAccount.source = Meta SameOldTableOfAccounts.add(NewAccount)
Cameri··on Ask HN: How do you know when you are burning out?
- taking sick days when healthy - procrastinating aka slacking - dreading the next meeting, starting your work day, working on a deliverable - frequently oversleeping - abusing substances - normal work seems harder than usual because of a lack of focus
Cameri··on Ask HN: How do I develop focus?
I went through the same recently. Became interested on too many different things, projects and topics because in my mind there was so much going on.

Get enough good sleep. If you don't sleep enough you won't be able to focus and retain anything you learned long-term. Don't put on headphones or fall asleep listening to videos/podcasts or looking at things on your phone.

Create a setting in which you can do 1 thing uninterrupted. If there are any potential distractions, put them away, turn them off or close as needed to create necessary boundaries.

As we grow older we accumulate and we obtain more things that we could make use of but have effectively the same or less time to devote to each individually.

Cameri··on TuringPi's funds have been frozen by PayPal for almost a year
No wonder I can't get my hands on one. Thank you PayPal.

Exciting times!

Cameri··on Putty maintainer on his attitude towards security and open source
I once wrote a tool in C# that used Putty behind the scenes to connect to routers (and hop through them) and collect interface metrics. Back in 2009 :)
Cameri··on A citizen journalist who shined a light on Wuhan's plight may die in prison
We tend to forget which countries have already used atomic b*mbs on civilians.
Cameri··on Apple broke up with me
Customers are misled by the common wording that is used in the current digital marketplaces. The wording needs to reflect the fact that we are just getting a revocable nontransferable license to a digital product or service, and that in no shape or form the customer owns such digital assets.

Instead of "Buy" perhaps it should be "Purchase license" or "Acquire license". Instead of "Purchases", it should say "Licensed products/services".

Cameri··on Debit cards are hidden financial infrastructure
The bank cartels probably won't last long, just wait until money becomes mostly decentralized and digitalized. We'll finally be able to use our money without limits or immoral intermediaries.
Cameri··on The Invisible JavaScript Backdoor
Is there an eslint plugin to prevent invisible characters on .js/.ts files?
Cameri··on Facebook’s digital wallet finally launches without Diem cryptocurrency
Ah yes, with it they can track our every transaction and sell it to advertisers.
Cameri··on Stripe Shut Us Down
Perfect use-case to implement payments using the Lightning Network. Stripe and other intermediaries have their days counted.
Cameri··on Tech firms' nightmare: Vanishing green cards
Apply to Canada!
Cameri··on Chinese activist Ai Weiwei says Credit Suisse closing foundation's bank account
And this is why we need cryptocurrencies.
Cameri··on Huginn: Create agents that monitor and act on your behalf
I have a few: - watch GoFundMe campaigns and post funding updates on Telegram - watch multiple tech blogs and post updates on Telegram - watch multiple funny blogs (xkcd, monkeyuser, lightroast, daily wtf) and post updates on Telegram - watch English idiom/word/phrase of the day feeds and post on Telegram - watch Canada's Express Entry draws and post new draws on Telegram - watch IELTS exam dates/locations/seat availability and post updates on Telegram

These have required some setup but little to no maintenance after.
