I hope it's okay for a shameless plug here. I use YNAB before but have been creating my own solution for about a year or so. It's here: https://www.everypocket.com. I'm outside the US and the online banking systems are not very good at personal finance, plus I have about 3 accounts in different banks for different purposes, so I can't use bank's solutions.

I'm a big supporter of manual entry for the extra clarity on what I've been (and will) spending on, I know many people find it cumbersome.


There are times where mechanical keyboard just doesn't fit. I own a few at home, but in my super quite office, it's a different story, and Apple Keyboard is the least painful alternative after trying many non-mech keyboards, including arguably-mechanical HHKB Pro 2 and MS Ergo 4000.


It's really smooth here in Malaysia.


I wouldn't use this, but this is cool. At first I thought it was using microphone to detect which side the smacking sound was coming from, but since others have pointed out, I didn't know harddrive heads have such sensors and can be accessed using programming language. It's probably suitable when you want to have an emergency button to destroy/encrypt/close all super-confidential information when someone's approaching and you don't have enough time to type/click anything, just smack!.


The sensor is in the system itself, not the drive.


What if someone accidentally bumps into your desk.


Good thing I setup a secondary SSL certificate, so I just have to pause my CloudFlare and my site is back. But few days ago the same thing happened and lately I've been thinking of switching from CloudFlare, any recommendation?


I have tried CDN77, MetaCDN and CDNify in the past. All of them were good.


1. People who want to learn sublime will use sublime.

2. People who want to learn vim will use vim.

I've tried many editors before vim, and now I'm solely using vim, I mean, the whole thing about it. The integration with tmux, ssh, working with all the shortcuts and command magics, its community, everything. I realize this is the editor I wanted to use. I can spend hours doing things in terminal, seamlessly with vim, most of the time I didn't produce either good quality or good amount of code, but I enjoyed every minutes of it.

I'm sure people feel the same way about whatever editor that they use now, if they don't, let them pick whatever new editor they wanted to learn. Why all the hate?.


Maybe its because saying 'Google researcher' is more polite than saying 'Google employee' which sounds more fishy?.


I've experienced this many times, but not to the point where my phone get restarted. I used to buy a $5 prepaid phone credits through online banking, and I have to copy and paste the serial number onto the caller app, that's when the browser crashes and I literally lost my $5. What a frustration.

This happened when there are quite amount of elements in the page (text, images, tables, divs). So instead of directly copying from the e-banking site, I now choose 'Search <s/n> in Google' option after blocking the text, and then Google, with much simpler output will render the S/N once again where I can copy it safely. Not sure if this is the problem with Android, or Samsung. I have a moderate amount of installed apps and running background services, my phone is S3.


I'd love to know more on why you said Lenovo Yoga 13 is aimed for consumers. I'm a python coder myself and I'll be getting this convertible ultrabook in the next few weeks. I've come across videos and site reviews but never heard that this laptop is more for consumers than developers.


I think the assertion may be that it's an IdeaPad and not a ThinkPad, lending to the consumer train of thought. I haven't ever heard good things about IdeaPad in the past, while the ThinkPad line seems to do a good job of maintaining core values of build quality and ruggedness. I'm not sure Lenovo did much for trying to carry over that line of thinking into the Idea lineup...

Maybe that has changed, but I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger on anything within that line unless I could use it first.


My reasoning was that it's the in the IdeaPad line, and that the whole tablet-conversion gimmick is more oriented towards iPad-style media consumption than productivity.

Actually I was really close to buying one myself as a dev machine--it has an IPS screen, a full keyboard, and the tablet thing is a nice, if not strictly needed, bonus. My deal-breaker was no backlit keyboard, because I work a lot at night, and that the wifi card has zero Linux support (as in, you have to connect to ethernet to download the wifi drivers first).

To a lesser extent I would have preferred a 14-inch screen and dedicated graphics, but I was willing to live without those because the Yoga was so nice otherwise.

Will there ever be a perfect machine?! :)


While this is awesome, I am one of those guys who feel uncomfortable to store my raw password in a dotfile, not to mention I'm managing my dotfiles in Github, authentication in every run doesn't seem convenient either. I see that this happens in other places such as Github gists-terminal and some twitter-terminal clients. Is there any way we can store these credentials locally in a safer way like SSH keys?.



Several Linux tools for this purpose have existed for a while as well - gnome-keyring (now seahorse)[1], KWallet, etc.

It came to my notice a few days ago that Gnome stored my Google Password in Gnome Keyring as simple text.


How did you come to this conclusion? If you've found a bug, please file a ticket.

Gnome keyring definitely uses encryption to store passwords; they take security pretty seriously: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/SecurityPhilosophy


I think what he meant was seahorse. I just tried it out and I can see my raw passwords by clicking properties and ticking 'Show Password'. Shocked as well, not to mention seahorse is launched without asking my password.


> I can see my raw passwords by clicking properties and ticking 'Show Password'.

As opposed to what? They need to have access to the plaintext passwords somewhere; it's just encrypted when it's stored on disk.

The default keychain uses your login password, and it's unlocked at login. This is easy to change if you want to have to unlock it every time you use it.


This isn't shocking; Mac OS X will also happily show you your passwords. It stores them encrypted, then decrypts them for you after your keychain is unlocked.


For a nice gpg-encrypted password store, see "pass": http://zx2c4.com/projects/password-store/

Many programs that require passwords (e.g., mutt, offlineimap, msmtp) let you specify a command to retrieve the password, which is really easy using pass.
