mmmmon Ask HN: What advice would you give to your younger self?

People often talk down on sex, I've noticed. Why is that so? Is it because people can use sex as an excuse to procrastinate?

mmmmon Lumen – A micro-framework by Laravel

Taylor Otwell have replied to a similar question here before: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/en...

> They really aren't similar at all. Forge manages sub-domains, Nginx, Cron jobs, SSL certificates, queue daemons, recipes, etc. Envoyer does none of those things. Envoyer is solely focused on deploying PHP applications to multiple servers with zero downtime.

mmmmon Lumen – A micro-framework by Laravel

Yes, and even more so with https://envoyer.io/ - according to the website a Laravel product.

mmmmon I’m Terrified of My New TV

Do they send sound from your phone to their servers non stop? If so, I'm switching from iPhone straight away.

mmmmon Vatican Library Puts 4,000 Ancient Manuscripts Available Online for Free

Anyone know if it's ok to make profit out of these?

Think: Retouch and sell as a painting.

mmmmon Google Shopping Express

In Sweden we've had this since 2010 or 2011 I think. Not as in: "You go to an online store, add milk and eggs to the shopping cart and get it delivered".

The way most of these online stores do it in Sweden is that they have different types of "bags" you subscribe to. Each week you'll get a bag of the stuff you'd need for five meals. With that bag, you'll get recipies for food they think you should cook with the groceries.

This was (might still be, I have no idéa tbh) widely popular in Sweden.

One of the most popular is Linas matkasse and a (bad-ish) google translate is available here: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&pr...

This developed to others opening up business. I know of a guy who started a night-shop-delivery kind of thing. Basically, when all the stores are closed, you could go to his site and order stuff (milk, candy, condoms, tampons or other things someone could need at night) and he'd deliver it to you (in Stockholm).

mmmmon SoundCloud Command-Line Client

http://despotify.sourceforge.net/

Not sure if it still works. If it does work it requires that your user is subscribed to Spotify Premium I believe.

mmmmon Show HN: Themefinder – Interactively find wordpress themes

I don't get this, I only see one theme and I can't find a button to find something else? Am I doing something wrong?

mmmmon Your Path to a $16B exit? Build a J2ME App

And in Sweden (some) police men were discovered using Whatsapp - sending sensitive information about suspects[0]. They were discovered when they accidentally misstyped a phonenumber. Whoops.

The police in Sweden have some Blackberry encrypted services, but apparently these police men were not given one because they're expensive.

mmmmon Yahoo mail hacked

From 2012: https://dazzlepod.com/yahoo

I don't think anyone could say that it happens every week - but it did happen back in 2012.

mmmmon Valve releasing Dota2 for Linux

I agree with some of the others, Dota 2 really tries to work on this. I've met so many nice people in Dota 2 willing to help out, but of course, I've met scumbags aswell.

The best solution to enjoy your game when a scumbag is in your team (or the other):

1. Mute him/her. Both the chat and microphone will be muted. 2. Report. 3. Keep playing.

I've done this since day one, I've muted about 5 people during the last month. It's acceptable for me. And if you team up with friends in a party, you'll have so much more fun.

Please remember to commend the people helping you out. I love being commended, and that's why I'm trying to help out and staying friendly during all of my games no matter how it turns out.

mmmmon Sweden To Charge TV Tax For Anyone With A Computer or Tablet

"Oh why hello, thanks for calling, no, sorry, I do not own a TV, computer or tablet - I often spend time at my friends home and uses his computer and TV."

This is how people avoid it in Sweden. However, the stores are obliged to report in when you purchase a TV, but all of these things can be avoided by simple lies ("I gave the TV to my friend for his birthday"), and many do so.

mmmmon Try right clicking GitHub's logo

Try clicking both right and left touchpad-button on your laptop. At most (all?) laptops it will open the link just as if you had middle-mouse-clicked it.

mmmmon Show HN: Social sharing tailored for eCommerce.

Is it possible to integrate this with our own E-commerce plattform?

mmmmon Sweden Legalizes Cannabis

I'm sorry to break it but... that's a lie/attempt of trolling.

mmmmon JSON users: Avoid CSRFs by not using top-level arrays

Thanks a lot for the excellent explanation. I tend to do my Ajax requests with post just to get the token in. Is there a reason not doing so, like savings in bandwidth or something like that? Might that be a gain Facebook is trying to achieve?

mmmmon JSON users: Avoid CSRFs by not using top-level arrays

Hi, why not? If the attacker can't get any information without sending a token with the request, what's there to worry about? I'm not very good with js so I might have misunderstood something. Thanks!

mmmmon Your tasks, managed and tracked

When clicking the edit-button on a task, and then moves it to another category (like completed), it vanishes until a page refresh.

mmmmon My domain name generator just passed 120k searches, here's the top 50 keywords

I got the same domain-names in the same search-result. A bug you probably could fix pretty easy. Neat tool, thanks.

mmmmon First Kinect sex game tech demo arrived (NSFW)

Did you misunderstand the "demo" part of the title, bro?
