To go a little bit off topic. Is there any other newsletter that even comes close to Money Stuff for the tech industry and news in general? Yes the Techmeme one is informative for the tech industry and NextDraft is good for getting the news cycles. But both lack humid, irony and witty.

I think you are wrong. Snap has been excluded from FTSE[0] indices, as well as from the S&P 500, based on the fact that they have a dual class voting structure. It will probably happen the same to Lyft.

I found the Plume app to have good information and a nice UI.

For those that have the Homebrew git as default do:

  /usr/bin/git --version

One thing that iStatMenus is better for me now than this is that it shows me the top 5 processes that use memory or CPU. However, I like the fact that putting all the information about the current status of my computer from my taskbar to the notification center, declutters my taskbar. Congrats for the execution, it looks beautiful.

I'm always mindblowned by the sheer number of networking equipment deployed and maintained during the conference. They now have[0] 5000 WiFi clients connected, downloading with 2.70 Gbps and uploading with 8.93 Gbps. It's like, once a year, a big part of the internet traffic is routed through Hamburg.

I taught that they've dropped that claim when they updated[0] their patent grant.

There has been a growing community of developers that advocate better documentation these days. Check out the Write The Docs[0] community and their awesome wiki[1].

http://idonethis.com/ is a simple idea that lots of people use.

A sincere and big thank you for building and evolving this awesome tool that simplified UI madness in browsers. :-)

I don't know what Github uses, but where I work, we do screenshot testing. We have PhantomCSS[0], which is a helper on top of CasperJs that visits pages, takes screenshots and compares them. There are a lot of other tools, Huxley and Selenium come to my mind, that do the same stuff. Even Facebook[1] tests this way.

Its the start of internship seasons, interns are starting to break everything. ^_^

Thanks for the tip about Stow, never knew about it and I will research it.

Ansible can be used for your local machine without any central server by default. I use this[0] playbook to update my packages daily on my DigitalOcean machines.

I was also using a simple bootstrap script and I too felt I was "killing mosquitos with a bazooka" using Ansible.

But I wanted to symlink my Sublime settings. That meant tinkering with shell code and separating the files in different dirs. Then I wanted to preinstall my Brew apps, but only for Mac.

So these tasks pilled up in shell scripts and became ugly. So Ansible, with it's easy YAML configs, is the perfect tool for a dev like me that wants to setup machines and maintain the configurations synced.

I still use Blogspot because moving my posts to another platform would mean too much time lost. I prefer to invest this time in hacking and writing articles. But yes, the desktop experience is a little awful. However, it's the only theme that works flawless on tablets and mobile devices.

At home I've only bought apps for my Android: Remember the Milk (old school, but it's still alive), Sleep as Android, Digital Ocean, Lux Dash.

At work: HipChat, Propane (client for Campfire), Sublime Text, Github.

You could also try http://betalist.com or even http://producthunt.co.

I guess they are talking about Team Fortress 2 here. In TF2 you are allowed to buy actual weapons and power packs in the marketplace, not just skins for them. You could also get them by playing, but it takes an awful amount of time.

This[0] was upvoted a lot on HN when it appeared. A friend of mine has already had good results. Also read the discussion[1] and you will find other nice resources.

I throw every random information in an Evernote notebook. For more complex stuff, like what are my priorities this month, I draw a mindmap using MindNode. Also, I've got in a habit of reviewing all my important notes and trim them every month.

Finally, I put all the interesting web articles in Pocket, because I search them later.

I tried to make flashcards in Anki for random stuff, but it didn't work out.

In Sublime Text, you can put bookmarks in code using Cmd+F2 and navigate between them using F2. It's really helpful if you work with big files.

These are 2 threads where you will find a lot of interesting blogs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4000394 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7083921.

In my Feedly I follow Seth Godin's blog, Priceonomics and The Changelog.

The thread from 2 years ago is still relevant https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1565140. I find that the podcast landscape has not changed since then.

I also like the a16z podcast. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z/id842818711?mt=2

I've found out that following users in bulk will bring a lot of noise in my Twitter feed. I suggest you make a separate list for new accounts that seem interesting, and if someone is really worth following, go for it.

Buffer is one of those companies that uses social media to acquire users. But I know they've invested significantly in writing their blog posts. It really depends on your product.

The 2 biggest competitors in the firehose business are Gnip and Datasift. I am pretty curious if Gnip will pivot in a Twitter only firehose or it will continue to serve data from Twitter's competitors.

I'm an OSX and Android user. My current setup is to use MacPass on my laptop and KeePasDroid on my phone. The database is synced using Dropbox. The only problem might be browser integration, but I'm not that lazy and I can copy-paste the password from the app.

You cannot go to jail because you've scanned for a vulnerability. Also, others have compiled lists https://github.com/musalbas/heartbleed-masstest/blob/master/....

Seems like a nice competitor for https://www.toggl.com/ which I use quite extensively. I love the calendar view, but the lack of an Android app will not make me change.
