I still end up using a sophisticated note app (AnyList) for remembering spinach. Real-enough-time syncing with my non-techie significant other's phone is pretty great, the latency is low enough that we divide and conquer at the grocery store.

When I take meeting notes, I end up using OneNote or Google Docs:

- I have a tree of `Who - What` (and the counter-bikeshedding).

- Images of block diagrams sneak in, especially if it's a planning or design meeting.

- Full text search is handy, one-note especially spoiled me by doing OCR

- I like GDocs in particular for the real-enough-time collaboration. It can help quieter people not get steamrolled in conversation, especially if you have a boisterous note-taker to speak up for them :)

funny you mention that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11422531

Even if they did, just going off of experience with other software projects, my gut says the docs are obsolete before you're* even able to download them.

Tesla would go out of business if they changed hardware that often.

I agree with Golf being the exception. I love my (mk7) GTI, and still smile when driving it--a year after buying.

Tried a (United States) Passat for about a week, and it felt like a waterbed on wheels :( not sure if it was "because rental" or if that's how they are; any owners care to comment??

That's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

The Passat wasn't meant to be sporty (except for the R36)

no its generally agreed that the german passat had better handling than the new fat american version

Looks cool, but I get a Network error, "Unable to communicate with the civclientlauncher servlet. Error: error OK null". Do I have to install something first?

Edit: I've never played Freeciv before

Hi, perhaps you could try starting the game again? The error seems to indicate a temporary network error, but it should be working correctly now.

This is awesome!!! Thank you!

Nope, /much/ better to light up my phone 30 times. ;)

Focus-follows-mouse doesn't work so great in OSX because of the global menubar, everywhere else it's great though!

I'm not trying to antagonize here, but what do you find so bad? I would call it a little bit more painful; three lines to add to an nginx config, along with generating the cert. Maybe 10 minutes of work? Thirty if you're getting a CA to sign your cert for you. I could see pain if you need to wait for finance to approve, or if you're trying to get domains validated on behalf of a customer. And I suppose it adds another setup step to wireshark (if you need to debug neat bugs), but that's a set-it-up-once-and-forget-about-it thing.

It's a scalability problem.

If you have many web servers behind a reverse proxy that takes care of TLS it's often pointless to waste processing power on encryption in between.

Yep. And on top of that a reverse proxy is unable to inspect the requests to route them smartly (based on path, cookies, etc.).

Well, the reverse proxy would have made the backend request itself, so it's free to inspect or modify anything.

For zsh:

  for cmd in $(compgen -c); do if [[ $cmd =~ ^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$ ]]; then eval "alias $cmd\?='man $cmd'"    ; fi; done

# had to escape the ? in the alias name

Cool trick :)

Looks like it could be a cool presentation but mid-hangover-me can't deal with the cube effect. ;) Is there a boring slide version available?

Yep, exported it to Speaker Deck =) http://gregfranko.com/blog/building-javascript-tools/

Cool! Thanks!
