on: How I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
It can help abstract the differences you may have across projects. If you're on a team with many projects/repositories, having conventions across them all helps improve onboarding, cross-teamwork and promotes better dev ux. A really simple way to do this is make. It lets you have the common targets and convert them to the relevant target. This can become more useful as you write automation for CI and deployments for all your projects.

on: Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
Isn't this an implicit risk anyone who purchases a 'smart' device takes? Every company will eventually discontinue their cloud service for a product line when it suits their needs. We have seen this countless times in technology and that anyone assumes that cycle will repeat with all these devices is fooling themselves.

That's fair, not having a cookie could work for session, how would you handle CSRF protection on a login form without cookies?

I believe that knowing whether or not you are logged would be part of the strictly necessary.

The sentrysid, sc, and sudo cookies are all login state cookies btw.

on: Volkswagen, Porsche, and Audi say they will use Tesla's EV charging plug
But you're thinking of it as an end customer. What if instead of a 'charging' station getting all the transaction fees the car manufacturers could haggle for some bps and work their way towards a controlling interest in this consortium.
Manufacturers want in because of all the potential $.

> Who listens to music any more?
It might not be your thing, but I frequently use 'active listening to music' as a way to relax after a long day. I don't have ultra high end kit either. I'm doing most of my listening on entry level Grado headphones attached to my laptop. I have a hard time believing that I'm unique in this activity.

on: A fully open-source and end-to-end encrypted note taking alternative to Evernote
Why? We all have to pay for shelter and food. This looks like what could become a fantastic business and product. I applaud their commitments to privacy and open-source at such an early stage. I am looking forward to hearing about Notesnook more in the future.

on: Ask HN: Web frameworks – which less popular frameworks are you using and why?
Interesting, I've never seen this mode of firefox before. I checked a few other sites and they also had a 'Failed to load article from page' error. Do you have a link for a site that does work?

on: Ask HN: Web frameworks – which less popular frameworks are you using and why?
Yes, CakePHP is still maintained. The API docs are something that is being worked on and, we'll get the 404s fixed soon.
What browser are you having problems with in reader mode?

Sentry's hosted and self-hosted options offer APM, and the source is open with an eventually permissive license.

I run
https://stickler-ci.com While it is not currently at 500/month but it has been there in the past.
I started this as a way to improve review speed at a previous position and it was well received, so I converted the prototype into a it's current form and have been running it for a few years now.

on: MacBook Owners' Butterfly Keyboard Lawsuit Gets Class Action Certification
100% agree. The butterfly switch MBP I have is by far the worst keyboard I have ever used. After a few hours of typing on that keyboard my fingers are sore from instant bottom out into what feels like a sheet of metal.

on: Passbolt: Self hostable, open source, password manager for teams
Just to clarify, I was never a developer of Passbolt. I think they based their repository off of CakePHP (which I do maintain) and inherited all the commit history that way.

on: Passbolt: Self hostable, open source, password manager for teams
Nope. The parent commenter came to some interesting conclusions, but I've never worked on passbolt. From what I remember passbolt based their repository on CakePHP (of which I'm a maintainer) and inherited all the git history from that project. There are no connections between passbolt and sentry though.

CakePHP had an issue with unserialize() at one point. Since then we've wised up about using putting user data into unserialize()
