phunehehe0··on Tiingo – Pay-what-you-want “high-end” financial tools
Not sure if this is too much to ask, but is there any plan to also provide this data in some raw form? Would be interesting to dive in.
phunehehe0··on Complete Course on Machine Learning
Just want to shout about this very comprehensive course by Caltech professor Yaser S. Abu-Mostafa http://work.caltech.edu/telecourse.html
phunehehe0··on That one pixel
Chrome was the first browser to handle that one pixel specially, and Firefox followed quickly (around version 4 or so). For some reason Opera never copies it.

It used to be a big deal when I spend most of my time with a single monitor. With dual monitors, Xmonad keeps a one-pixel border around the active window so "move the mouse all the way up and click" doesn't work anymore. You choose your own poison :)

Only when reading this thread that I realized there are people preferring Opera's behavior, which is kinda eye-opening.

phunehehe0··on Most of the Amazon SES IP blacklisted by SpamCannibal
Maybe you mean 25 or something else? Port 80 is for HTTP. And what does a secure port mean? If you want people to be able to talk through a port you have to open it. The number doesn't matter.
phunehehe0··on No, don't enable revocation checking
It seems the only problem with hard-fail is the risk of DoS attacks by targeting OCSP servers. However, if you include OCSP stapling you won't be affected. So a solution may be to encourage all users to enable revocation checking with hard-fail, and all servers to support OCSP stapling.
phunehehe0··on Designing and building a keyboard
I have been using my Truly-Ergonomic for almost a year now. Zero complain :)
phunehehe0··on GitLab 6.3 released: open-source software to collaborate on code
I maintain a set of Chef cookbooks (more Ruby, I'm afraid ;)) that includes a cookbook for GitLab[1]. The cookbook may not be the best, but it has been serving us well. There are numerous other Chef cookbooks for GitLab.

IMHO GitLab is easy to set up compared to something like Postfix. Making a GitLab server do what it's supposed to do is straightforward. You just follow all the steps. Making Postfix work as a proper mail server is kinda a mess.

phunehehe0··on App monetization with 'passive' Bitcoin mining
Interesting idea. Now you just need to make sure that the mining doesn't affect the performance of your game. Plus maybe people will complain that the computer fan is too noisy when running the game. Of course being a game makes that easier a tiny bit.
phunehehe0··on Ask HN: What to watch out for when building a service like Lavabit?
If users encrypt their email from the client, there won't be anything meaningful to eavesdrop, will there? I figure there may be a problem with incoming emails that are not encrypted, but surely people have to fix that on their own (e.g. telling their peers to encrypt emails sent to them).

Is it unreasonable not to give up a key that I don't have?

phunehehe0··on Swiss to vote on 2,500 franc basic income for every adult
Another perspective here, I actually converted that into dollars and realized it's more than my salary (me being in Vietnam). However I quickly came to my senses and comfort myself that prices are different in Switzerland. Thanks for confirming this.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if you can use that money to live somewhere cheaper, maybe without letting the government know. If you can, I think that's a problem to solve before this deal can go through.

phunehehe0··on Vim PDF Documentation
I have read the introducing blog post. I also appreciate the effort the author put into this, which will be useful for others. However, I think using an SSH client on a tablet to connect to a machine with Vim and reading `:help` from there would have been a better practice of Vim.
