There's also https://github.com/hjr265/gittop, which provides a lot more useful views

If so, it may be time to re-brand because the niche is what most people now assume.

You shouldn’t need an extension just to add a keyboard shortcut for a menu item. Doesn’t your OS let you map that? On macOS you can in Keyboard Settings

Interesting. Do you have more technical details on how to build these same tools for myself?

> It’s no different than other companies though, I sent a remote code execution to Cisco and they just replied that they already knew about it but the product was approaching end of life so they wouldn’t fix it.

Huh? That sounds very different from Apple. In that instance, the communication is professional, mature, and respectful of your time and effort.

You mean something like mattermost.com ?

This could be an alternative solution: https://github.com/ekmartin/slack-irc

Looks promising. But the sign-up fails.

And you're so sure that there isn't a single NSA agent working at Google who could subvert your systems? Let's be realistic

Great list. Would love to see that expanded into a blog post :)

You might want to check out http://www.freecodecamp.com/ . I think they do pair programming

My concern is not that that it could become bloatware. My concern is that it suffers from basic usability issues but you're prioritizing things that I won't ever use.

Thanks for this app; I've been wanting exactly this for years: I need to multi-task and I often forget what I was doing, so I need a TODO attached to specific windows.

Before you start adding big features such as Applescript, I recommend that you address basic problems and missing features (that you might have unearthed with an extended beta program). Please go check out the reviews at the App Store.

Well, life is absurd. So to be honest there's not much reason to live.

However, during the time that I'm still here, whenever I feel like crap, I blame myself. If my thoughts are depressing me, then it's my job to change the thought patterns. Committing suicide seems like a cop-out to me. If it's to escape pain, I have to ask: where does the pain come from? Who made up the rules that I should be happy about this and that and I should be unhappy about this and that? Is it society? Is it my family? Nature? Well, if it were up to me, I'd rewrite the rules so that I win. And ultimately, I have to remember that it is in fact up to me to feel good or not.

Easier said than done, but this is the outlook that makes me reject feeling like crap. Remember, your thoughts don't define you. Just because you're the one thinking certain thoughts doesn't mean you should accept them all: pick and choose which ones you allow and which ones you should consider alien. Negative thoughts can be ignored, they can be changed. Meditation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Travel to foreign lands.

You've got nothing to lose.

We need a support group

Sorry, didn't understand that.

Is this part of a ridiculous trend where major software developers pick whatever name they want for their language, tool, library, what-have-you without caring if there are other projects with that name, if the name is confusing, if the name is too generic (and thus hard to do a web search for), etc.?

This might be some sort of bias on my part but I seem to see this more and more often. Programmers are known to be bad at naming but these days it seems they don't even try. How about just following a simple rule: pick a word that doesn't exist in the dictionary or on the web at all. Just make up a combination of letters. Please.

Google's culture of automated customer service continues a long tradition of poor people skills, and disdain for feelings and livelihoods, as well as their own reputation. I was contemplating switching from AWS to the Google Cloud, but it's posts like this that remind me that, oh yeah, I myself have been unjustly banned twice from one of their services.

Google cannot be trusted to handle relationships, whether with developers or companies. It's clear that they don't care and that's fine. They have their niche for providing services to those who don't mind the lack of the human touch. Just not for me.

Hmm, that was a bit confusing. It's not clear what your prepositions "it" are referring to.

I don't know about these days, but I personally had to deal with 4chan/Anonymous several years ago (before Anonymous became known for taking on public causes) and what they were doing was downright evil (and immature) with real-world consequences. "For the lolz." I wonder what moot was doing when he presided over this disgusting behavior.

On the flip side, this just happened to my Aussie friend, and you don't hear her story in the news or in a blog. Why not? Because what can we do? Tourists have no rights. There is no accountability. There is no check against abuse of power. Yes, there are dozens of these cases every day. Feel free to generalize.

This just happened to my Aussie friend, although not to such a degrading degree. I don't think either event qualifies as a false positive.

In either case, there was no evidence at all of an overstay. That's like a spam filter looking at your inbox and arbitrarily picking one email and putting it in your spam folder; would you call that a false positive? To have a false positive, there must be some sort of algorithm/procedure/heuristic, i.e. some sort of non-random selection mechanism. Otherwise, you don't have a spam filter, you have spam roulette. And that's how it is at the border with these immigration officers.

@dobbsbob, I'd be very grateful if you could help me out.

My Aussie friend has suffered a similar (but not quite as degrading) experience at the border recently. She was unjustly deported because some custom agents (or their computer systems) suffer from multiple off-by-one errors and cannot properly compute a 90-day stay. I couldn't believe what happened -- and to an Australian tourist! I was ashamed of being an American.

Could you give me more information about this border court? Feel free to contact me at: one-hnpost AT reml DOT org

Thanks!

Hey codersquare, your web site navigation is broken.

I don't think that's a fair assessment of this article. This self-help article is different from all the other junk out there because it's based on psychology research, not personal hunch.

If you're going to claim that there is one ultimate solution that works for everyone in the nebulous field of achievement, it would be useful for you to back that up with actual research.

Yes, you're right, assuming that fulfilling your dream is not compatible with pursuing your career.

After working two post-college years at a top software company, I quit the cushy life and lived life by trial and error and my plans only went as far as 3 months ahead. 11 years later I still don't know which country I'll be living or working out of within the next 3 months.

Yes I did start to regret losing out on some of the structure, discipline, and optimal professional self-improvement path of living the life that society hands you. I feel I have the experience of a guy 6 years my junior. On the other hand, I know more about myself than my peers because I tried so many things and tested myself under so many different environments.

Looking back, I don't think I would have made a different choice but I would spent my leaves (from the typical path) a lot more directed and focused. I think I could have learned about life and myself in a quicker way just by doing things instead of just being.

But of course, learning to be -- and breaking automatic habits of action -- is the key to being happy as well.

As you guessed, there is no right or best answer.

But again, if your career and your dreams are one and the same, then this one dimension could be resolved.

I wouldn't give up any salary if the job is in the city where I live. I would rather be in the office to connect with people and to have structure.

If I had to live elsewhere, it would depend on the cost of living. In SE Asia for example, I would give up 60% or more. In Europe, I would give up only 20-40%.

Why give caffeine special status over other drugs? Surely, you don't accept everything that society tells you?

Caffeine is addictive and has strong withdrawal symptoms, unlike many nootropics
