clarkey252 | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which backpack do you use for work and work travel?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004LSBYR0 I have used this for a few years as my everything backpack, originally bought it to cycle in to work because I showered at the gym (so was carrying everything I needed for the morning in there including work clothes, toiletries etc.)

- Super cheap

- Hard wearing (just about breaking after 3.5 years)

- Very large capacity (just about get away with it as a cabin bag)

- Nice little laptop sized pocket in the middle

I think that this is supposed to be similar to the classic tamagotchi's off of the 90's. There were no status bars (like a real pet) and figuring it out was part of the charm . I do think that if the pet is really hungry/thirsty/tired there should be an a different animation, like pointing to mouth for hunger.

I agree animations and aesthetic are awesome (much better than the original LCD pixel Tamagotchi's).

There is a tiny red deficit "income" at the top just to the left of the middle of about £55.8bn

I agree that this is preventable but you can't assume that everyone knows these things, especially when there is an article like this that doesn't contain any help or advice! Of all people the BBC should be using this opportunity to help people.

IIRC the Scientology E-Meter is quite similar to this, I can't quite remember if one spawned the other.

How do they know/enforce that? (Put a different way, if I were a journalist what would stop me entering the same way as Joe Average)

clarkey252 | 8 years ago | on: Google Search: Inurl:server Filetype:key “-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----”

Can someone explain why the inurl:server is used? Wouldn't this also work without that (and reveal more results where the keyfile has been renamed)
