Perl readability is rivaled only by c++ template code!

This is an awesome use of the reflect package!

Funny part: they provide a binary for offline usage, but it is Windows only. MacOS doesn't exist for them!

Someone please give this memo to Citibank which still uses Flash for their virtual credit card number feature! [1]

Save $5 as well and host it on a Github repo and attach it to Netlify!

So Firefox sent me an email with a title "Get Facebook Out". I tried to unsubscribe, but that forces me to login first, for which I don't remember the password. So I had to reset the password, and then unsubscribe from their "tips" emails.

Shouldn't Firefox offer a one click unsubscribe botton?

and payroll taxes of 12% on first $140k.

I've moved to Authy. They allow a backup password to encrypt all tokens on their servers. I think that is a valid tradeoff with a random password saved in Keepass. Otherwise, changing a cellphone (or hard resetting) is an arduous task.

Yes, of course. I was mainly stating the starting point.

This is essentially adding a blob inside .git/objects by taking a sha1 hash of the data after appending a header "blog <length>\00<data>". Then the first two characters of the hash are created as a directory and the remaining 38 acts as the file name inside which the zlib compressed data is stored. Nice project for learning the git internals.

Same issue with many apps on NVidia Shield TV.

Thank you so much! I actually stopped my membership due to this issue as I was tired of making UBlock Origin filters on my laptops.

The amount of negativity for Google has gone through the roof on HN recently. Of course, there are issues with Google, but the general sentiment on HN towards Google is disproportionately negative.

Almost useless as it doesn't sync the settings and containers as part of Firefox sync. Setting these up on all the devices is a pain!

When will they add tabs for open conversations? Why is there a limit one of open conversation at a time? Many times I lose the person I was talking to and have to hunt down few names to find it out again.

It is covered in this Wikipedia article. It is called 'the incessant obsolescence postulate'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_travel

"It has been argued that an interstellar mission that cannot be completed within 50 years should not be started at all. Instead, assuming that a civilization is still on an increasing curve of propulsion system velocity and not yet having reached the limit, the resources should be invested in designing a better propulsion system. This is because a slow spacecraft would probably be passed by another mission sent later with more advanced propulsion (the incessant obsolescence postulate)"

Chromecast or Roku

Sorry. It is a Back To The Future movie reference. The time travel machine uses exactly 1.21 Gigawatt.

Would have been nice if it was exactly 1.21 Gigawatt!

Using Authy may be a good idea. There is a slight risk of exposing the TOTP key to the cloud, but having it available on all devices (current and future) is very convenient. Authy has an option to encrypt the key using a user specified passphrase, so it is at least better than storing the raw TOTP key in the cloud.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm on a list somewhere for frequent Google searches such as this one - "How to kill a parent with all the children"!

This change drives me nuts! Earlier, listening to a song brought up similar songs. But now the recommendation list is filled up with old videos that I've already watched and have no relation to the song being played. Why would I want to watch a Paw Patrol cartoon after listening to a sad Bollywood song?

How much should this cost per month in AWS billing for a small static website?

Number 4 will blow your mind!

Looks like you want an option, but not as an extension.

Unfortunately the $20 one is only available with USB-A, not USB-C.

They would have survived if they hadn't filled all their aisles with stupid star wars and disney princess stuff. There was a severe lack of creative toys.

There are three tiers, ranging from $5 to $25 per month per user.

I wish that they somehow include the Youtube Red or equivalent in the same Google One plan. I'm willing to pay $5-10/month for it.
