Yeah; I just grepped all of my own repos, it's quite out of date thankfully.

This situation definitely lends itself to push for 2FA by default on all rubygems.

Yeah...I've been introduced to that song with my niece. It is the most played youtube video by far in my house. The original has 3 billion views.....If I was to go postal that song would probably be the one humming in my head.

Noticed last night that images for on Instagram are being served from Facebook's CDN, including the Facebook favicon. I would have thought the smart thing would be to keep a lot of distance from the three brands.

Just hired a remote developer via Upwork. Looks to me that he's installed a script to open random files in our repo and move the mouse around. There are ways around it. Based on his output over the last 7 days he won't retain this contract....terrible stuff.

It's a javascript link. Try clicking rather than opening in new tab. Worked fine for me.

> Usernames are hard. Perhaps, in an ideal world, we'd all use Indie Auth and use our domain names as our usernames. I'd be twitter.com/shkspr.mobi, for example.

Can we use our domain name as our username on twitter? Is dot a restricted character?

I recall them speaking about this a decade ago. There were huge dust storms in Beijing due to the desertification around the city. I've been out of Beijing for some time now, are the storms as bad as they used to be? Is this replanting have an impact?

This is amazing.

I've been devouring aquaponics setups on youtube with the ambition to eventually have a huge space for plant growth.

The trouble is that I'm in Nepal and quite a lot of the equipment is difficult and expensive to import. Is there anywhere we can read about your project?

I quite like keepassx. Sync's with a dropbox file and I can use it across all my devices. It's not that fancy but has done the job for years on my systems.

How did this even reach the frontpage? It's behind a paywall.

Good news and a welcome addition. Too many elasticsearch clusters have been completely exposed and have been leaking data.

In our case we've had elasticsearch container behind our firewall only exposed to our application servers behind a reverse proxy. Did the trick.

Be still my beating heart.

I misread this as for Australia and while I wouldn't put this past the current right-wing government they are coming into an election.

But it's for Austria.....so....while I'm not affected I'm still annoyed.

I bought a Dell XPS 13" back in 2008 and had nothing but problems with it. The graphics card was known to overheat and melt on the board. Dell instead of implementing a recall ended up figuring it was cheaper to send a repair man to replace the entire motherboard each time. It happened to me three times.

On top of that, the screen failed, the trackpad failed and the keyboard failed. The charger burned a hole in my carpet and the motherboard running only Linux and an IDE burned my table.

I haven't bought a Dell laptop since. Has things improved with the XPS 13 developer editions?

China used to heavily depend on outsourcing perhaps a decade ago; there's been a marked shift to serving their own audience and building for that marketplace.

India still depends heavily on outsourcing.

It's rather expensive to look at Chinese outsourcing currently, India is still relatively cheap. Vietnam is the new hotbed of outsourcing.

Blackouts are no longer an issue. I imagine the water turned off because the pumps couldn't operate (no electricity). I should do a blog post about the reason why electricity was generated but not directed to the right place (corruption).

There are still parts of Kathmandu that feel like you've stepped back in time but are growing increasingly hard to find. The city at times feels overpopulated due to the huge amounts of migrants that came for services and work. While Kathmandu is incredibly polluted (due to road works, construction, river pollution), they've come a long way in the last few years.

Over the past three years we've employed a team of 19 software engineers in Nepal. Bar 3 of them, we've trained up 16 developers from Interns to fantastic engineers working across phoenix, elixir, ruby, kubernetes and javascript projects.

We've treated them well, trained them up, brought them on board interesting projects. When it comes to staff so far we've a great retention rate. Nepal has a huge problem retaining the best and brightest, many leave the country straight after high school or college to seek better opportunities. I think we'll keep hiring juniors but I'd love to have more senior (20+ years experience) engineers on board. They don't seem to exist in Nepal.

I'm rather impressed with Proton.

I was using wine quite obsessively well over a decade ago, wine tricks, fiddling with settings for one game, change them for another. Proton removed all of that for me.

I'm not at the forefront of gaming, though i have a nice card, CPU and a heap of RAM (Perks of the job.

Skyrim is my jam lately, I'm spending an insane amount of time in game at ultra settings. Played some Batman - Arkham Asylum, also a windows game, both run well. I'm happy!

The author mentions this in the first comment.

I'm aware that it has some flaws (Comments & Ask HN items are not working right now), but I'll add more features if people are interested.

Would love to reead the technicians resume after this.

2018: successfully targeted and destroyed a F-16 with a second F-16 also grounded. Only person in Europe to do so.

Would you be proud of that entry?

Weird how that happens however totally worth it for the bonus chipmunk video above. Updated the playlist link. :D

My Nepalese dog must not be an animal; because she stretches all the time.....not against her will either.

Here is a playlist of animals stretching.

My favourite is a chipmunk doing the deed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjIuKKmBrTI

Said actual cute stretching playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OyzsmJE0Y0&list=PLycYZfnbK0...

Huge congrats to you guys. I've been using your product for at least two years now for a particular client and they seem very happy with it (especially the pivotal and chrome integration). Keep up the great work guys!

I love this project. it's truly amazing.

The cynic in me wonders about the timing of this to coincide with a certain lawsuit by the diver...

A single company I had a long term business relationship had a similar issue with me. Thankfully I had moved to a developing country and was able to bring costs way down as a result. If I had stayed put, back to work in a cubicle for a time I guess...

For those interested in an Irish version check out Green Spot and Red Breast. Some of my favourites...

Could have sworn I was going crazy last night; was attempting to write a scraper to download attachments / tickets from pivotal tracker for a yearly accounting report. Everything was working fine, then suddenly not. At around 2am I gave up and just put it down to the 'gods' telling me to go to bed.

This was the first article I saw after I woke up, somewhat refreshed. /feeling-vindicated

Does anyone else have issues with images on medium being slow to load, always fuzzy and then taking ages to actually render? Seems like a constant problem for my part of the world.

Had a personal VPN back then so I never had any problem there.

Felt very polluted in Shanghai when I first moved there. Lived in Dalian which is one of the cleaner cities and had no issues. Moved to Beijing (before the olympics) and experienced no real issues either. I've lived in much more polluted cities since then.

China has been doing this for a long time now.

To get a leg up in the solar industry China provided research grants to the very best in the field as a way to lure them over. Chinese investments in science and tech has skyrocketed in the last two decades.

* I was one of those people who moved to China for a few years to work in software over a decade ago.

Am I the only one thinking it was a perfect time to negotiate a better salary seeing as they'd dismissed his contract leaving room open for a new one?
