lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What free or low-cost static site hosting do you use most?

I currently have one website that's built with Jekyll and I host it for free on Github Pages. The only thing I'm paying for is the custom domain name from Namecheap. Also I set up HTTPS with Cloudflare in front of it.

I prefer this method over managing a server any day.

Digital Ocean tutorials are probably the best and simplest ones to follow. Neat idea.

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: Reddit CEO admits to altering user comments that were critical of him

> Reddit is known for censoring subreddits the admins do not like

r/The_Donald mods were censoring all comments against Donald Trump (hence why they didn't reach r/all)

> the CEO mocked Facebook's knowledge of their users data saying that at Reddit they know not only what one publicly speaks (such as in Facebook), but also their users "darkest secrets" (in an interview about advertising on Reddit).

It was clearly a joke taken out of context from conspiracy theorist.

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: What I learned from spending 3 months applying to jobs after a coding bootcamp

I just hate how these "bootcamps" are only in it for the money and then they have the audacity to tell their students to LIE on interviews. How about you actually pick a language YOU love, make projects, improve. Node.js LUL

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: Static Website Generators

Static site generators are easy to learn and host for free on Github pages but setting up TLS with a custom domain name is a pain. I currently have Cloudflare in front handling that for me.

> 1Password now has a subscription service for $3 a month and you get the first 6 months for free.

Don't pay for this people. Use the open source password manager Keepass http://keepass.info/

That feeling when the first paragraph of an article points out something you've been doing wrong all along :D. I use <br> in between paragraphs and it looks horrible, what should I be using instead?

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: Why People Should Learn Python

I hate Python. My linux distro comes with version 2.7 yet I should be using version 3?? Yes it makes writing complex programs quickly with its endless libraries, but I don't consider myself learning anything if all I'm doing is copy pasting the API docs. I've recently switched to Go and the language is small and easy, docs/source code are well commented, and lastly I'm actually learning how computer programs work.

> better alternatives around with much more sound models and environments, Erlang and Go

Node.js makes it extremely fast to build robust and fully featured web apps quickly. I'm using Go currently for the backend and it's a pain since everything has to be written from scratch. I still enjoy it since the language is simple.

They should also buy the domain name goodbye.com it seems empty. Why do people buy domain names and leave a blank screen like that????

Hacker News should switch from Comodo to Let's Encrypt. Scumbags attempted to trademark Let's Encrypt. https://letsencrypt.org/2016/06/23/defending-our-brand.html

Rails is still a thing? Wow thought everyone moved on to Go and Node.js.

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: CloudFlare, We Have a Problem

I use Cloudflare because I host my static website on Github. The flexible ssl mode is good enough because there's no user data being passed around only articles of mine.

I've used the full ssl mode on self hosted servers and can't see what the dilemma is besides you being paranoid that Cloudflare will tamper with data passing through them. Evidence?

Just revoked access because the app never disclosed this information on signing up with my Google account. This is sick.

Personally I haven't clicked on a single Forbes link in months after being forced to unblock them to view content that should be available to the public with no catch. I never go back to sites that implement that system.

lllorddino | 9 years ago | on: Go’s march to low-latency GC

Before Go I was web developing in Node.js but wanted to get "closer to the metal." Thought about using C for the back end but then heard about Go and have been in love ever since. My favorite programming language by far.

I tried out Pascal a while ago and really liked the language. Also installed Lazarus and was able to make a simple Windows GUI. Although now I'm on Linux and may have to give it another go.
