Can't use ff on linux unfortunately. It has this weird bug where it clicks on the first item automatically if I right click on anything. It's a super annoying bug.

This is great material for AA on history channel.

Nice. Congrats on the release! If you're allowing custom profiles with custom block/whitelist domains it means you're holding a database on this thing and doing lots of queries on requests. Will your product be able to scale with more users since it's free? How are you keeping all this logic from affecting your latency? I'm curious of technical implementations that's all.

Webstorm.

curiously, nobody mentions the clothing designer :)

Not really the case with Docker. I can spin up a container targeting any language in less than 10 seconds, mount a volume and start hacking away. Best of all, it doesn't pollute my system in any way. We shouldn't pick a language just by how easy it is to get started, a decision which often leads to a lot of regrets. Pick whatever is good for the project not your disposition.

This is basically how I made Qards (https://qards.io). I kid you not. Good to see I'm not alone :)

Good to see them catching up on GitLab in terms of features.

I'm not protesting anything. Sure I would like to use something else but I don't see any other search engine with better, more relevant results yet. Nor do I see a better video platform or a better webmail (I am being subjective here ofc). You can't tell people to give up good things just because [insert evil things here] and offer no better alternative. You can escape the wrath of google of course, there's always Bing, Duckgo and others; Python, Ruby, Elixir, PHP, Java; Proton, yahoo mail, Zoho; Vimeo, DailyMotion;

Gmail, Search and Go (yes it's my fav language so far) runs or helps my business greatly and with a direct impact on my income so yes...I'll gladly share my fetishes with the big brother. I don;t want to but I have no better alternatives. Do you?

I think your frustration comes from the fact that you want to avoid using their products but can't find better alternatives. Also, no need to call people names and...use your own username; don't go green in fear of internet points.

Do you use React? MySql? VsCode? YouTube? Chrome? Not all departments have to share the same vision. Go is open source and its code up on a repository, open and visible.

The internet is literally saturated with Paypal horror stories. Why do we still see so many tears so often? How many bad reviews does a business like Paypal has to have before people start learning from the mistakes of others and not trust them with their business?

I wouldn't go quietly but that's just me, fighting the windmills :).

I'm quite familiar with S. Greer's work and I would recommend taking all his documentaries and videos not with one but multiple grains of salt.

Ego.

What exactly is the "scale" problem here?

Croatia is really a sight. Very nice place. On the expensive side though.

Joining EU had this effect on my country as well (Romania). There are entire villages (I lived in one of them for 6 years and I can make a difference) where just old people can be found. The young left for other countries (mostly UK and Italy) and to the bigger cities but the latter did so because, for some reason, they couldn't find anything abroad.

What you're left with is nothing but old people who are easily manipulated into voting for whoever promises a bigger pension - sad but true, they dictate the future by majority. It's been years since we're fighting corruption at the highest level without success.

Bulgaria is even scarier than that. We travel to or through Bulgaria almost each year (going to their beaches or to Turkey) and we happen to go through huge areas without seeing people at all. Often times, when stopping for gas (true story, happened to us last year), you encounter really shady people that simply look for trouble - especially with the ladies. In one occasion we stopped for more than 30 mins and the individuals started "gathering up" and doing whatever they can to spark a fight with us.

I have friends who traveled at night and swear to not do it again. They encountered the same type of individuals that were cutting trees onto the road to prevent you from going any further and try to rob people. We have a rule, never travel Bulgaria alone, even if you're alone at the border you need to find someone else going to the same direction and go in packs.

Sad to see a country go down like that. We have witnessed this country getting worse and worse each year. Also, they seem to be even more corrupt than us, we prepare batches of 10 euros for police because we know they will stop us, we just get the paper out of the windows, salute and go...that's all they want.

I'm curious if other Bulgarians are aware of the difficulties we have to deal with while traveling in their country.

Edit: I see some folks complain that I'm fabricating. I own a tourism small business and we always warn people of 2 things when doing Bulgaria:

1 - Never park your car where it's not being guarded, filmed, monitored (lots of cases with people left without their vehicle) 2 - Never stop at night on the road (if you can)

I can go on but there's no point.

Still early for a release (work in progress/use at your own risk) but I'm having real fun working on dnsadblock.com. Within days it made me switch from Chrome to Firefox. As soon as I changed my DNS server Chrome tried to contact it's mothership roughly 146,000 times in just 24 hours. Being able to see the actual numbers is something scary.

I'm always writing there as it's the only platform where you have 80-90% chances of getting a reply within minutes. Docker, Kubernetes, Go, Elixir etc. were not here in the 80s.

You cannot learn new things without asking questions.

I ask both Github and StackOverflow profiles. In Github I look for code style & quality, tests written, open source project participation (often good indicator of quality code when accepted). In SO I look for issues created as an indicator of one's struggles and overall expertise. Both profiles offer me a strong view over one's position and the data really helps me to filter out prospects.

95% of the times when they respond with "I don't have a Github|StackOverflow profile" they prove to be juniors or time wasters applying for a high salary. That's fine if I'm looking for a junior but they often apply for senior positions.

I trust the data on these two as I consider it to be really difficult to get by as a programmer without decent activity on at least one platform. HAving code out there, IMHO, adds better than any CV. It's just data but it helps me get a clearer view.

What are you using in production? Still minikube?

Makes no sense. What complexity are you talking about? You get that info on the client to create another request to the server in order to send it over?

I don't get the point of this in a client script. What does it do that can't be done server side with the http headers? Maybe it can be useful inside SPAs but this sort of info should be immutable and read only which is next to impossible on front facing apps.

I hope something drastic takes place. Batteries are the only piece of "hardware" without any new discoveries in decades. Li-Ion I had in high school and it still drives my phone today.

Whoever finds a better alternative is going to completely change the automotive industry and mobile. I just don't hear about many researches being made in this field.

What about "mark as spam" and move on? I maintain a few OSS projects and, occasionally, get some of those quite often. I just move on. Or...ask for $(2|5|10)k to do it for him - that also works

Only few people can act like Linus and get away with it (and for a good reason). HN is the worst place to brag about stuff like this. I'm a person with limited patience and it's toxic for my business for me to deal with clients that's why only my partner deals with it while I stay on the technical part. It's worked wonders. It's no shame in admitting you're not the guy to do it all.

Often, the offer is much harder to pass. "We will buy you or we will build a better you and destroy your business" - it's not just a money offer to refuse when you think about it. Part of the decision process is also the feeling that a huge company wants to enter the market with the same product. Can you compete?

What about separations in teams where designers don't mess with backend programmers code? Updates and parallel works on the frontend and backend projects without issues? What about servers that respond with minimal data and consumers that deal only with displaying the received data? Pushing code, re-compiling and restarting webservers all because a button had to be made green or its shadow changed? What about CI/CD, automated tests, automated migrations, builders and compilers consuming dollars and energy for that button change?

I'm happy with building SPAs where it makes sense (myaccount/admin). The problem is Javascript and its ecosystem but you could very well go with Ember which is stable as...and be relevant for years.

Find a market where the leading product could be/should be better. If you can do it (pulling a Shia LaBeouf)...just do it! Most of the ideas I've had were already developed by others so you better get used to it and not wait until you find a "virgin" niche.
