favadi··on RememBear Official Launch
How does it compare to 1Password? The price for individual is the same.
favadi··on Show HN: Slate-md-editor – A markdown editor that allows live editing
I have to click just to see what is "live editing". So far, it works pretty much like org-mode.
favadi··on A Proposal for Package Versioning in Go
> Yaml parsing - Used gopkg.in/yaml.v2 . What that means? I don't know. v2 could be one git hash today, and another tomorrow.

I'm sure that you can use a fixed git hash if you want.

> Slack SDK - Used nlopes/slack. dep ensure -add dumps me on to the latest release of Github. That was fine although I didn't realise that was what happened. The latest release is 12 commits behind master at the time of this writing

Do you expect the author to tag a release every time he pushed to master? And you can use master branch if you want.

> A CLI framework - Used urfave/cli. Same thing with dep ensure -add. Except I realised that the last release to Github was eons ago. August 2017 IIRC. The code I needed in particular had been released in October 2017 and since then had many commits to master. I just added a constraint to my Gopkg.toml file to lock the pulling to master.

It is barely 6 months old! How often you expect the author to release new version?

favadi··on Firefox Product Roadmap
I'm also using Firefox on Android because of the Adblocker, but it is not faster than Chrome. The page load time is generally slower than Chrome, even with ads blocked. It sometimes freezes and crashes

Fron my experience, the process is more important than the tool.
favadi··on An Italian Song That Sounds Like English But Is Nonsense
There is a Thailand song that became famous in Vietnam because the lyric somehow sounds 90% like Vietnamese and with very funny meaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0n4T0SQt70.
favadi··on Tea if by sea, cha if by land: Why the world only has two words for tea
Vietnamese uses both "chè" and "trà". But for some reasons, for things like iced tea, bubble tea we only use "trà". For the traditional tea that serves in a teapot, either is fine.
favadi··on XPS 13 developer edition 7th generation available
Still have this problem on my Dell Precision 5510. Latest BIOS update somewhat made it happen alot less often though.
favadi··on How we run NPM packages in the browser
Npm is both a package management and a package registry.
favadi··on Gitlab 10.0 released
Gitlab will include an IDE in the future? Or it will be a separate product?

As is bitbucket.
favadi··on Windows for Linux Nerds
I even have problems with Intel card from time to time.
favadi··on Why I Fell in Love with Arch Linux (2015)
> Granted, I admit I mess around a bit with debian sources. I sometimes pin things, and often times pull packages from sid or unoffficial repos to get fresher versions.

Found your problem.

favadi··on Sublime Text 3.0
Investing money to a tool that help your productivity is something should be considered as well.
favadi··on Sublime Text 3.0
In the past few months, I see some popular linux softwares started to using AppImage (https://appimage.org/) to distribute prebuilt binary. Not sure if it is a good option for SublimeText.
favadi··on Launch HN: Dropleaf (YC S17) – subscription service for indie PC games
Steam offers refund? Last time I bought a game that I can't play due to technical reason, they refused to refund.
favadi··on Going down the rabbit hole with go-fuzz
`errcheck` ignores unhandle error value of `fmt.Println`.
favadi··on Half-price Ebooks for Day Against DRM
I think they discontinued the upgrade program already.
favadi··on My Arch Linux Setup with Plasma 5
Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years, so you don't have to update every 6 months.
favadi··on Goodbye PNaCl, Hello WebAssembly
Don't be surprise, people consider electron "native" today.
favadi··on Nim programming language
The bright color hurts my eyes :(.
favadi··on Sylpheed – a simple, lightweight but featureful e-mail client
Sylpheed is GTK2, those screenshots are GTK3.
favadi··on We Tried Slack and We Deeply Regretted It (2015)
Good to know that mattermost works for that large team size!
favadi··on We Tried Slack and We Deeply Regretted It (2015)
Do you know if there is any mattermost installation with over 5000 users.
favadi··on Show HN: Milanote – A notes app for creative work
Yes, org-mode can handle images.
favadi··on KeepassXC – A cross-platform community fork of KeepassX
Maybe with Qt5 it will scale correctly in HiDPI display?
favadi··on Standard Notes – A notes app with a focus on longevity, portability, and privacy
Maybe the close sourced aspect worries him more.
favadi··on From OS X to Ubuntu
Unity hands scaling well, but many applications just don't work well with HiDPI. But same problem happens with Windows 10. In this regard, OS X does the job better.
