Teichopsia··on A story about Upwork fucking over freelancers in order to upsell their clients
Or maybe they didn't implement that "feature" properly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Teichopsia··on Static site generators need less rigid content APIs
If memory isn't playing tricks on me, you can go to staticgen and in the language pick bash. There was a sweet one developed with photos as front runner. It may or may not be what you are looking for.

SEEKING WORK

Location - Panama city.

Despite considering myself a Jr., which may or may not be accurate, I try doing front end stuff from scratch. My stuff would probably be prettier if I used a framework.

Teichopsia··on Ask HN: What interesting thought did you read on HN but couldn't find later?
Thanks. It wasn't either one of those. Now that I remember the one I'm talking about, it's system requirements were low. What comes to mind it could run comfortably on a 512mb system.
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: What interesting thought did you read on HN but couldn't find later?
Thanks but it wasn't that one. The one I'm talking about wasn't in beta and I would like to say one could use any DB one wanted to but that might just be wrong :)

Edit: grammar.

Teichopsia··on Ask HN: What interesting thought did you read on HN but couldn't find later?
I've been trying to find an email server which was mentioned in a comment a few months ago. I read through the setup instructions - the only point I remember is once it's setup one can add as many domains to it as one wants - if I remember correctly. There were several that popped up this past year, https://mailinabox.email this being one of them but I don't think it was the one I'm talking about. The setup instructions were clear.
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: What interesting thought did you read on HN but couldn't find later?
Several, but the one that comes to mind at this moment is from a comment a couple years ago regarding their streaming setup to find movies, shows, etc.
Teichopsia··on Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress
what does it matter? If the intent was from a good place, just let it go.
Teichopsia··on Testimony of Mark Zuckerberg – Hearing Before US House of Representatives [pdf]
Seriously? I did not know that. How would that work?

Edit: Just read Wikipedia and another source and both define it for people within the EU. They do mention whether the company is outside the EU and how they would need to handle the data for people within the EU.

Teichopsia··on Ask HN: Examples of great landing pages?
Added. Thanks.
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: Examples of great landing pages?
That's a nice project. I'll have to take a deeper look into it. Is there a central place where these types of projects pop up?
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: Examples of great landing pages?
Quick question. Where do the designers / developers find assets? Or do they create them from scratch? One such 'assets' I've manage to find recently is https://mockuphone.com (no affiliation), but apart from that there isn't much besides the usual. Fontawesome, pexels and the lot.
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: Examples of great landing pages?
Nice page. Tough, I would make the whole picture clickable instead of just the eye icon. And, the "x" to dismiss is hidden unless I have the browser at full screen. Firefox dev 60.0b7
Teichopsia··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
I'm building a command line tool in python for front end development. Im self taught and never actually have built anything. Besides that, I was unhappy with everything else out there. I could either learn someone else's tool or learn to build my own.

I do have a question. I'm using urllib.request instead of using requests to download normalize and I found conflicting information regarding if it was safe or not.

Finally, can I get feedback on my website. Gotta lose the fear.

Edit: for the life of me I can't find how to solve a full height div on mobile, specifically in Firefox. It happens regardless if I use 100vh or 100%. It seems that it can only be solved in JavaScript (which I'm still searching for a practical solution), tough, I would rather avoid a js solution.

Teichopsia··on Show HN: LonelyPage – One page is all you need
Looks good. Still haven't had my coffee so this is all you are getting. Sorry.

The submit form zooms in on mobile (iOS). To avoid that the font size needs to be set at 16px.

Teichopsia··on Teacher in Ghana has no computers so he draws Microsoft Word on the blackboard
Saw your post after writing my comment. Seems pretty much what I was asking.
Teichopsia··on Teacher in Ghana has no computers so he draws Microsoft Word on the blackboard
I don't have the means nor the knowledge to solve their problem but I'm quite sure if we redirect the conversation towards how it could be solved - in the very least it would prove to be an interesting thought exercise.

He already mentioned that foreigners have shown interest in wanting to help but nothing has come out of it. We also have to keep in mind that it seems they don't have electricity.

What can be done?

Also, they are not the only ones with the same problem. How could we replicate it to other areas. Whether it be a kind of pay it forward system. I don't know. I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Teichopsia··on Show HN: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
Apparently an idiot here. What is the difference between web hosting and server hosting?

The way my mind interprets that stack is the database is hosted on firebase while the page is hosted on the server?

Edit: Thank you all for the explanation. I used to think firebase was used as a database. I didn't know one could host front end files there. It seems I still have a long ways to go :)

Teichopsia··on Facebook ordered to delete illegally collected data by Belgian court
True. But we are not the average consumer. We know better and can make an informed decision.
Teichopsia··on CSS Grid for UI Layouts
Here's a good video with Rachel Andrew: "Into the weeds of CSS layout". It goes into detail how the browser calculates the layout / sizing.

Teichopsia··on Upwork banned my account for 'being dishonest'
I wasn't advocating for up votes, but anyhow, I see your point. Thanks for your time.
Teichopsia··on Upwork banned my account for 'being dishonest'
I know, but it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't make any sense to me. It's publicly known that he has a mental illness. I would also like to believe it is generally known that solitude can, and generally will make a situation worse.

I see it as he is trying to reach out, but he is downvoted because why? What effects does a downvoted have on someone? I know I feel bad and I'm generally a person that says "eff it" to a lot of things. I would also like to believe people, especially here on HN, who are much smarter than myself, or so I would like to believe, have all read the same articles and comments I have over the years.

One doesn't need to engage if one does not want to, but where the hell is the humanity?

Sorry, the more I think about this the more upset I get.

Teichopsia··on Upwork banned my account for 'being dishonest'
Do you mean the guy that created the OS? I never understood why he gets downvoted if he lives with a particular situation. And why can't he be named?
Teichopsia··on ​Pipenv: One Year Later and a Call for Help
It's a shame (for myself) that they are asking for previous open source experience. I just started using pipenv a few weeks ago and it's fantastic and would be inclined to help out, as long as someone would mentor me. Tough, I guess that would add more work to them.
Teichopsia··on Show HN: Gymphy – Create Free Shareable Workout Plans
The design is lovely. Simple and elegant at the same time.
Teichopsia··on Ten Years' Worth of Learning About Pricing
I thought about helping you set a github/gitlab pages and writing the code in case you didn't know how, but you could set up a wordpress site using the free tier, which would end up being easier in the long run.
Teichopsia··on New DHS policy on demands for passwords to travelers’ electronic devices
I understand that one needs to go through customs & immigration, even if one is only in transit. But the idea that one needs to hand over one's "diary" is beyond me.
Teichopsia··on New DHS policy on demands for passwords to travelers’ electronic devices
Is this only for people entering the country or does it also apply to those in transit?
