TonnyGaric··on Y Combinator Resources for Developers
I just noticed that clicking on 'About YC' (top, next to YC logo), results in a 404. Looks like the link contains a '/' too much: https://www.ycombinator.com//about/
TonnyGaric··on Y Combinator Resources for Developers
Strange. I wouldn't expect that, because according to https://caniuse.com/#feat=stricttransportsecurity, the latest versions of Chrome and Safari for iOS do support Strict Transport Security.

According to https://get.dev/#benefits: >The .dev top-level domain is included on the HSTS preload list, making HTTPS required on all connections to .dev websites and pages without needing individual HSTS registration or configuration.

What browser are you using that you are not redirected to https://yc.dev?

>Most major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE 11 and Edge) also have HSTS preload lists based on the Chrome list. (See the HSTS compatibility matrix.)

>I though all .dev domains were https

If you go to http://yc.dev, you get an HTTP 307 (Internal redirect) to https://yc.dev.

https://get.dev/#benefits says: >The .dev top-level domain is included on the HSTS preload list, making HTTPS required on all connections to .dev websites and pages without needing individual HSTS registration or configuration.

See point 19: >"They" is a great word for referring to an unspecified person of an unspecified gender.
TonnyGaric··on Web.dev by Google
I get the message "Error: 500 from Lighthouse API: Internal Server Error" when I try to run audit for my personal website https://tonnygaric.com

Anyone any clue why? Other websites I enter seem to run without a problem.

Well, in Dutch universities one of the first courses of Computer science is object oriented programming in Java. I think that says enough. :)
TonnyGaric··on macOS lock screen: “I just sent my session pass to my whole team”
Original Poster replied to my tweet where I asked him if he has an Apple Watch: >Hey Tonny. No I don't have an Apple Watch so it's not related. I did connect an external screen before opening the MBP though, so maybe it's related to that? Note that I can't reproduce it, happened only once so it must be a shady bug.

TonnyGaric··on macOS lock screen: “I just sent my session pass to my whole team”
Yes, you can not get into someone else's Mac. However, what if the last opened application was Terminal? I can think of several scenario where you can do "damage" without logging in—if this bug is real—depending on the last opened application.

TonnyGaric··on Use a .dev domain? Not anymore
Well, this reminds me of the following article I just read: "Please build websites for the web, not just Google Chrome." — https://thenextweb.com/dd/2017/11/28/please-build-websites-w...

Go :-)
TonnyGaric··on An app that finds NSFW photos on your phone?
I have never heard about both apps, but after a quick look in the App Store I read that Nude App has Break-In Alerts; the app takes photos of intruders and tracks break-in attempts. It seems like Orga does not have the same feature.
