Ask HN: From IntelliJ (Jetbrains) to VSCode, has anyone done it? 3 by jilles | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi all, I'd say the title is pretty self explanatory. For the last few years I have been trying to switch to VSCode. However, I keep on returning to my beloved PyCharm. Did anyone successfully switch from a Jetbrains IDE to VSCode? I'd love to use an open source editor that I can easily write plug-ins for... but I can't seem to get the same level of productivity with it.

Who do I trust and why? Digital Ocean, Google Chrome and Motion Sensors 2 by lemonberry | 1 comments on Hacker News. I just logged into Digital Ocean to update some DNS records. I notice a new icon in the address bar that looks like it represents radar or radio waves with a red square and a white x in it. When I click it I get "This site has been blocked from accessing your motion sensors". Why would Digital Ocean be trying to access my motion sensors? According to this article it's to get more information about users. https://ift.tt/2YLX3Ir. Of all the companies I deal with Digital Ocean never would have crossed my mind as one that I have to be concerned with regarding privacy issues. Veil lifted.

New ask Hacker News story: Git Sucks, What Am I Doing Wrong?

Git Sucks, What Am I Doing Wrong? 7 by JacKTrocinskI | 8 comments on Hacker News. My employer recently made a companywide switch from SVN to Git and upper management has been touting it as a big success story in emails. The thing is, everyone I speak to in the project hates it and not just because it’s new and they don’t like change. We had a simple workflow going, we changed a file and then committed it directly to trunk, before we went to UAT we created a release branch. Life was simple and things worked really well with SVN, you edited a file, committed and that was that. With Git and Odyssey it’s a whole process though, we have to create a feature branch, then commit changes to the feature branch, then pull master branch changes, merge the master with the feature locally, push the changes, ask someone to approve/review every little change, then merge the feature with the master remotely. I mean what a drag. What are we doing wrong?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Good Browser Plugins for Dyslexics

Ask HN: Good Browser Plugins for Dyslexics 4 by sdmike1 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I'm dyslexic and reading documentation can be a real pain if the lines are long (I'll get lost in the middle of a sentence and loose what line I'm on, in particular the transition between lines is really rough). In the past, I've been saved by the ability to resize my browser window or the fact that man pages are 80 chars wide. Unfortunately the docs I've been dealing with at work lately don't re-flow when you change the size of the viewport, they just gain a horizontal scrollbar, which is less than helpful. Does anyone have any good browser extensions for dyslexics? Specifically any that help with following a line to the next one down. I recall seeing an extension in a thread on here about Dyslexia in the past few months that really helped. It would highlight the last word or two of a line and put a matching highlight on the first one or two words of the next lines.

Ask HN: Simplest way to add paid subscription plan to my webapp? 2 by MarkMc | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have a popular webapp that is currently free for all users and doesn't require login. I want to add an optional feature that will require the user to pay $5 per month. How can I do this with the least amount of code? Is there a platform-as-a-service that integrates Google sign-in and Stripe subscription billing? Ideally I want to just include a line of javascript (provided by the platform) to my web pages which adds a 'Log in/Register' button in the top-right corner of my webapp - then I just check the user's subscription status on the server to enable the feature. I don't want to mess around with Google authentication tokens or Stripe webhook callbacks.

Ask HN: How does your data science or machine learning team handle DevOps? 2 by mlthoughts2018 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Machine learning teams often face operating needs not seen in many other domains. Some example: - instrumenting observability that not only monitors data quality and upstream ETL job status, but also domain specific considerations of training ML models, like overfitting, confusion matrices, business use case accuracy or validation checks, ROC curves and more (all needing to be customized and centrally reported per each model training task). - standardizing end to end tooling for special resources, eg queueing and batching to keep utilization high for production GPU systems, high RAM use cases like approximate nearest neighbor indexes, and just run of the mill stuff like how to take a trained model and deploy it behind a microservice in a way that bakes in logging, tracing, alerting, and more. Machine learning engineers and data scientists tend to have a compara

Adsense will stop allowing publishers to see their data older then 3 years 2 by HugThem | 0 comments on Hacker News. Google currently displays this info in the Adsense backend: ------------------------------------------ Last 3 years of reporting data We've limited reporting data for all AdSense products (Adsense for content, AdSense for search, etc.) to the last 3 years. This means that you can only run reports for data that's less than 3 years old. You can download data that's older than 3 years from either the old Reports page (until the end of September) or the new Reports page (until the end of 2020). ------------------------------------------ I wonder why they do this. They don't say they will delete the data. Just that they will stop giving publishers access to it.

Ask HN: Fast way to find socially responsible investors? 2 by nfc | 0 comments on Hacker News. The product the company I founded is selling has found market fit. It has some advantages that will be difficult to replicate by our competitors. But to make it grow fast investment would be needed. However, I'd prefer to avoid this company becoming a traditional one, focused on maximizing profit. I'd like to dedicate my energies to make it create as much "social value" as possible, but going through the traditional investor route would mean closing this path. What I'd like to do is to give most benefits of the company back to society rather than the owners [1]. Because of this, I'd need to find socially conscious investors that would be ok with capped returns. How I could find in a short notice this kind of sources of investment? I don't live in a country where there's an abundance of investors, let alone "socially responsible investors". [1] Ho

Ask HN: Simple collaborative CSS editing tool? 2 by meowface | 2 comments on Hacker News. I'm looking for a web app or Chrome extension that lets someone make CSS changes to a page on an existing website - kind of like when using Chrome DevTools' Elements tab - and have those changes be visible to other people in a team. Also with the ability for anyone to export the CSS modifications to a file. It could be made visible either by everyone on the team using a Chrome extension and seeing those changes applied to the actual page itself as they're viewing it, or it could be some other rendering of it within a web app, or even just a screenshot. Just some way so others can look at the page with the modified CSS applied. Figma was the first thing I thought of, but from what I can tell, it doesn't seem like it's really intended for starting with a website and editing its CSS. I tried using the HTML To Figma plugin (https://ift.tt/2NPflUH), as well as its Chrome extensio

Ask HN: Should I sell equity in a past startup on the private market? 6 by throwaway_2mkt | 1 comments on Hacker News. Many years ago I worked for a start-up that showed some signs of success but merged with its only real competitor and laid-off many of the redundancies. I left the company around this time but exercised my stock options and now own a decent amount in this (still private) company formed from the merger. I was notified recently that I can sell my equity on the private market. The offer included details of a share price, which would give me a decent payout (6 figures), but I’m wondering if this is a good deal. From crunchbase, the company has done one more round of funding since I left, and it appears they are gearing up for either an IPO or another funding round. Should I sell? Or how could I better assess the terms of this deal? I feel that if investors are willing to pay for my shares then they think these will be worth more soon. I don’t need the money right now. T

Within 3 minutes it was amended and an email pinged back an acknowledgement and a thanks for reporting it.

With that in mind, what are your biggest editing pain points? Those that drain you out, and take most time? Thanks for sharing!

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How does onlyfans.com work around the “no porn” Stripe rule?

Ask HN: How does onlyfans.com work around the “no porn” Stripe rule? 2 by capableweb | 1 comments on Hacker News. For reasons beyond this ask, I'm needing to use a payment processor that is fine with high-risk transactions (which the porn industry certainly fits in) so started looking around what adult websites are using. Many are using probiller, vendo and similar, since Stripe and others have rules against porn/adult industry, citing high risk transactions for this. But then I came across onlyfans.com, which is using Stripe for its payments, although Stripe has a strict "no porn" rule in their terms of service. How does this work? Onlyfans is by now a huge website, with lots of transactions, so it's surely not flying under the radar. It's the only adult website I could find that is using Stripe. Is it as simple as they have an agreement with Stripe to bypass the rule? Or am I missing something else obvious here?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Avoid Manipulation of .ssh/Authorized_keys

Ask HN: Avoid Manipulation of .ssh/Authorized_keys 6 by mpaepper | 1 comments on Hacker News. Recently I asked the question how you handle ssh keys of your teams: https://ift.tt/30X2rde I received many good ideas of how to do this, in particular to use signed certificates instead of public-private keys. One big question remains for me: how do you avoid that users who get access via a certificate to a server, simply add a public key to .ssh/authorized_keys and then can access the server also without a certificate from then on? If a user has root access via the certificate on a server, they could always manipulate that, right?

Ask HN: What PII is Scribd likely to get after Slideshare acquisition? 3 by rapnie | 2 comments on Hacker News. I just received an email from Slideshare that Scriptd will start operating September 24, and after that their Privacy Policy [0] and ToS [1] will apply. Opting out means you have to close your account before that date. I will probably do that as the Scribd policy does not sit well with me (but I am no lawyer so what do I know). Does anyone know what information they're likely to receive? Would it be full LinkedIn profile data, since they might have merged profiles for their services?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Medium.com or Personal Blog?

Ask HN: Medium.com or Personal Blog? 9 by eldridgea | 6 comments on Hacker News. I try to keep an active habit of writing. Often just for my self but also to share interesting things and "grow my personal brand" and all that. I've always preferred to host my own blog as opposed to a service like Medium, but I've seen more and more people and begin to use it. Do the network effects and other parts of Medium actually increase readership just by virtue of posting there vs a personal self hosted blog?

Ask HN: Have you had experience with short term role/team rotations? 3 by comradesmith | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN. In my company (specialist software) we're thinking about a short term 'foreign exchange' programme, where two members of different teams swap for a sprint or two, to try and understand what goes on in other teams and learn their challenges. Has anyone here participated in such a short-term exhange? Was it worth your time?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you decide what is a many-to-many vs. enums vs. array

Ask HN: How do you decide what is a many-to-many vs. enums vs. array 2 by erlich | 0 comments on Hacker News. Whenever I'm designing a schema I always find myself wanting to just make everything a many-to-many relation because it makes things flexible and safe (referential integrity). But then there is always this feeling that these joins are going to make things complicated, verbose, and inefficient, when a simple enum or an array column would be simpler. My main gripe is that I hate having to impose constraints on my data model early on when I have no idea about how it will evolve over time. How do others deal with these decisions? Also, is there any product that would allow me to model the domain exactly as it is (i.e. like a semantic graph), and then have efficient and simple querying?
