i suggest looking at Rails. It streamlines a lot more than ^^^

masa331on Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?

Accounting company

I don't know what you call 2020 web development but in last 2 years i'v been able to co-develop several web apps in Node.js and also complete "serverless" ones using only AWS services and oh boy.. Rails is still so far ahead

masa331on Ask HN: Are books worth it?

For me there is nothing like reading a good story. And good stories are timeless. On the contrary, tech, money, billionaire's thoughts... they age fast.

So lately i'm wondering, is HN worth it?

masa331on Prevent users registering with passwords from data breaches

If somebody get to your email you are doomed anyways because with passwords all they have to do is reset it through that hacked email.

The benefits of sign-in links are: a) you don't have to remember gazilion of passwords b) you don't have to use password managers c) you can setup a really strong passphrase for your email and actually remember it because it's the only one you have to. And of course set up strong MFA or whatever d) you don't have to setup MFAs on services and giving them more personal info(phone number) than they really need e) for me as a developer it's also easier to implement actually

masa331on Prevent users registering with passwords from data breaches

Please don't use passwords at all. They are wrong for so many reasons. Use emailed sign-in links.

masa331on A well-known URL for changing passwords

I wish every site would just use emailed sign-in links instead of passwords. We wouldn't have to deal with all these password relative nonsenses - password managers, .well-knowns, password requirements, password resets, weak passwords, gazilion passwords in my head. Everything would be so much simpler

masa331on What’s Hiding in Your PDF?

Thank you! I will look into these. I know the problems. As i was working in the accounting firm i was dealing with imports/exports from various accounting softwares a lot. In fact i'm currently working on an app which can convert between them as my side project.

masa331on What’s Hiding in Your PDF?

This is actually pretty cool. I'v been working in an accounting company and i'v been thinking about such thing a lot lately. Is Factur-X used in practice in Germany and France? Do you know about some other similar things?

masa331on Don't learn Dvorak

I did not foresee that my QWERTY muscle memory would be replaced by Dvorak, making it frustrating to use other people’s computers — I had to search for keys and type with two fingers at an annoyingly slow pace. This made me aware of how often you use other people’s computers.

This also happens when someone else needs to use your computer, which involves a mandatory explanation of why you are using a different layout and switching it for every time the typist changes (which is frequent when collaborating on one computer).

This is the reason why i don't over-configure my vim or anything else. If you do so you can get lost on not your own machines easily. Also coming to someone's computer which has some weird configs(vim remapping of esc and caps lock anyone?) is extremely annoying.

masa331on DeveloperHub.io: Create beautiful product documentation, hassle-free

Seems cool. I'm browsing your own doc and found one thing i hate tho. Could you please please let user himself decide, if he wants to open next pages(your "Next to read") in new browser tab or in the same one? I hate how every second website doesn't respect this.
