derimagia··on Show HN: Link.fish – Bookmarking Meets Web-Parsing (HN Exclusive)
This is definitely interesting. I'm trying it out - One of the things I'm noticing is that there's no way to edit the data that I see. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this - it seems very strange that this doesn't exist
derimagia··on Amazon Drive removing unlimited storage plan
Yeah VPS ia computer, plex cloud doesn't require that. But that doesn't matter, I think we're both correct, although I don't think as many people run VPS's as you seem to think for this. Not saying it's not easy, it' s just not the usual way I've seen people use plex. But it doesn't matter, really.

Thanks for the links, quickbox does look neat. I've been looking to get a media server for my plex stuff and it seems to support a lot.

I played this years ago, it's better to think of this separate from each other. As in remove the context of previous ingredients when making new things
derimagia··on Amazon Drive removing unlimited storage plan
Those links are from a while ago. You linked to a FUSE solution, which isn't first-class and you need a computer for it. You're right, it probably would "work" with that, but I would say that's an outlier solution.

It doesn't work with plex's cloud feature: https://www.plex.tv/features/cloud/ - they removed it from the list there. This would have gotten a lot more users

derimagia··on Amazon Drive removing unlimited storage plan
I don't think Plex ever really worked with amazon. Plex advertised it at first but it didn't end up working out, sadly. See https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/02/amazon-isnt-playing-nice-w...
derimagia··on Ringless voice mails from telemarketers
Although I see where you are coming from, restraining orders aren't just for stalking/threats/abuse. It'a also for harassment, which I would definitely say telemarketers do.
derimagia··on Show HN: Little Finger, a library to add a kill switch to your mobile apps
"with a single line of code." Uh no, it's a library... I hate it when projects say that.
derimagia··on Ringless voice mails from telemarketers
.. and why does that allow them to spam you? Just because you can avoid it by changing numbers? You could make that same argument for a restraining order -- "Oh you can just move, so why would we legally protect you?". Absurd.
derimagia··on Turning Off GitHub Issues (2016)
Even as a developer, an issue from anyone (even non-technical people) helps people find out quickly if someone else is having the same issue you are with something, even if it's not fixed.
derimagia··on A Case of Stolen Source Code
App store has a lot of issues as is, I actively try to avoid the app store. I'm sure it's more secure, but security isn't everything. The issue doesn't have to do with the app store, it's being careful what you are downloading no matter what it's from.
derimagia··on A proposal to move Gnome to GitLab
For 2) as the link you posted pointed out it's by default in and for the few that like getting these notifications there's a out-in button. I'd agree that not having this be a default is a little bit bad UX but not having it at all is really bad UX.
derimagia··on SQL Notebook
Looks like some web app? There are like a thousand of those
derimagia··on Turning Sublime Text into a Lightweight Python IDE
I like Atom and VSCode, I wouldn't REALLY call them an IDE.. Try Jetbrain's stuff out.
derimagia··on Show HN: Electrino, a featherweight API-compatible alternative to Electron
"It implements a minuscule portion of the APIs available in Electron" - I wouldn't really call that API-compatible.

For most apps I'm sure this is fine though.

derimagia··on Sourcegraph now running on an in-browser VS Code
Javascript is a tricky language to do this, most libraries don't have types or JSDocs which is somewhat an issue so they need to be way less strict on what's auto-completed/interpreted. I don't see this as a fault in Jetbrains here. I say that wishing it would do more, but understanding it's probably at it's limits.

Try IntelliJ with plugins for Ruby, Python, PHP, NodeJS, Go, Rust - I agree that for the most part it just "works". Although you can "feel" it's Java engine sometimes.

derimagia··on Twilio stock plummets as major client Uber distances itself
They bought Authy as well.
derimagia··on Backdoor in the firmware of Antminer Bitcoin mining hardware
As usual please make sure you link to github links directly.

"https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/blob/master/driver-bt...

If the file is edited that link is useless. Even worse, removed or moved.

Press "y" and you get: https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/blob/b5de92908498590d...

derimagia··on Mini.css: Minimal, responsive, style-agnostic CSS framework
Doesn't matter what jquery vs umbrella is, if you're wrong from the start then everything you're basing your argument is also misleading. Not saying jQuery doesn't have more lines, but the reasons for it aren't going to be discussed if you use helper functions as your example.
derimagia··on Mini.css: Minimal, responsive, style-agnostic CSS framework
I can move all of those lines to a new function "addClassHelper" and then ta-da - 1 line.

You can't just exclude other functions like that.

derimagia··on Show HN: Txtpen – web highlights and in-text comments
Doesn't seem to work when you highlight backwards?
derimagia··on Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?
Sorry I was thinking of autofill suggestions:

"Substring matching for Autofill suggestions" chrome://flags/#enable-suggestions-with-substring-match

For the address bar it already does substring for me pretty well so I can't comment on that, sorry about that.

derimagia··on Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?
I recommend checking out https://vimium.github.io/, provides a lot of shortcuts (You don't even need to know vim despite the name). "b" brings up a box like this:

derimagia··on Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?
Chrome has a flag in chrome:\\flags to enable partial matches.
derimagia··on 8 CSS gotchas to start your morning off right (satire)
Vertical align needs to be in a table cell.

Although most of the article is satire, vertical align has a lot to do with tables. Centering only works in table-cell elements. Take a look at the code http://howtocenterincss.com/#contentType=text&horizontal=cen...

Or, one of the references mozilla links to there is: http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html

derimagia··on “Hello, (real) world” in PHP in 2017
Different tools specific to their job, they wouldn't be good to combine together. apt-get only exists for linux, requires root and is designed for that, npm doesn't. apt-get installs the latest version, npm expects more specific verisons since it's for code. npm is built for node's ecosystem and apt-get is better for system packages.
derimagia··on CPython migration to GitHub scheduled for today
There's a lot of people who fork who really shouldn't be who use it like the "star" function.
derimagia··on Chrome 56 will mark HTTP pages with password fields as non-secure
With free ways to encrypt web coming out, you really have no excuse to not use https for login forms. People should be informed.
derimagia··on Naughty Strings: A list of strings likely to cause issues as user-input data
If you're going to link to a line number - press 'y' to get a link tied to the commit. Otherwise it may be out of date the next time the file changes.

derimagia··on Go 1.8 Release Candidate 1 is released
I use https://github.com/motemen/ghq for that, which is really nice actually.
derimagia··on Carrie Fisher has died
Eh, that's not true. It's more of an issue that there are more famous people now. I'll be honest, I don't know most of the people I see pop up on sites about them dying (I suck at names), all I know is they are a star. I notice there are more are coming up in media, though.
