Thanks! It's been a long journey, but totally worth it :)

Thanks for letting me know! I'll get that sorted

I run BugMuncher on my own (https://www.bugmuncher.com), I've been working on it full time since October 2015, and it's been profitable since November 2016, providing all of my income.

If you're interested I've been documenting the entire process of taking BugMuncher from a side project to my full-time job on my blog starting here - https://www.bugmuncher.com/blog/from-side-project-to-profita...

You're correct, but there's no need to be a dick about it

Great answer. One thing I'd like to add is if you're using bearer tokens, make sure your API has an easy way to invalidate and regenerate them, as anyone with the bearer token has full access.

ISO 8601 (yyyy-mm-dd)

From your lined article:

"seeing a cartoon avatar in the middle of an NPR-produced 360 video highlighting the situation in Puerto Rico while very real people walk around surveying the devastation of their homes perhaps wasn’t the most appropriate choice."

Well this was confusing. I wouldn't consider my monitor to be particularly large or high res (Apple 27, 2560 x 1440) and I didn't have to scroll to see the 'Yes they do' message

I never said "all the benefits SPA structure can offer the multitude of other projects" were meaningless, in fact I specifically said there's a time and place for them. My point was most web apps, particularly an SaaS control panel, may be better served with a simple CRUD app

Thanks for the tl;dr :) this post did run a bit longer than I planned

I feel like I answered most of these questions on the post, but anyway:

1 - I've tried a number of frameworks, although ember is the only one I've used extensively. As I said, the issue was mostly with the thick client / thin backend api set up rather than specific ember stuff, with the exception of ember being overly opinionated.

2 - not interactive enough to require a js framework

3 - BugMuncher is just me, so I'm also the UX guy and I think server side rendering is awesome

4 - no (in my own humble opinion)

The hash at the end of the URL is actually the article ID, the part before that is just for SEO/readability, and has no affect on loading the article.

e.g.: omitting the article title from the URL still works (https://medium.com/@soleoshao/cd29c0713cad) as does changing it to something else entirely (https://medium.com/@soleoshao/i-like-turtles-cd29c0713cad)

Both those URLs still load the article in question.

When using sequel pro with a MySQL database, typing NULL into a string field will make that field null rather than 'null', which always seemed like an odd design choice to me

Having watched other parts of the video, I would say this was sexism.

While the moderator had a bad habit of talking too much and answering his own questions to all panelists, he didn't talk over the other (male) panelists, he only seemed to do that to Veronika Hubeny.

I feel like the first two items on this list should be:

- does this really need to be online?

- really?

Honestly I don't know, above my pay grade :) I just reported it to the boss

I briefly worked in an arcade a few years back, so was changing a lot of £1 coins. 1 in 30 sounds about right, it was amazing how many fakes we'd see.

Like others have said, the lettering around the edge is always the biggest clue, but also the head and tails stampings will sometimes be off centre, and misaligned to each other.

The fake ones also make the 'wrong' noise when you drop them on a hard surface. It's hard to describe, but really noticeable if you compare it to a real coin.

I thought those were the conditions that caused PII to be included in the HTML response, but the PII could come from any customer as it's a buffer overrun situation. Damn this is confusing

I'm a Cloudflare (free) customer, and I've had no email or contact of any kind from Cloudflare.

My understanding from reading this and Travis' post is that all Cloudflare customers are affected, is that correct?

I'm a free customer, also no email...

Legal proceedings have just begun in the UK [0], and according to the article VW have already had to pay out to owners in Spain.

Thanks! Writing it has been really beneficial, helps me keep on top of the figures.

You're not the first to notice that, and it's one of many reasons I'm planning to change the name.

I run BugMuncher (https://www.bugmuncher.com), it started as a side-project 5 years ago, then in September 2015 I packed in freelancing to focus on BugMuncher full time.

As of November 2016 BugMuncher reached profitability - ie: it's my sole source of income, and covers all of my living expenses.

Fair comment that this site doesn't look like it needs a JS framework, but I think it's a little unfair to assume the dev doesn't know about HTML or server side languages.

It's more likely that the OP uses this JS framework a lot and knows it well, so it was quicker for them to build it this way.

Balls, well the name's not set in stone, although neither of those are doing the same thing

I'm not 100% decided yet, as I'm still in the "gauging interest" stage, but I'm planning to make it free for anyone to join, and clients pay a small fee to list a project, mostly to stop some of the crap posts.

I realise that by encouraging clients and freelancers to work directly after the first project is bad for Bamboo itself, but I'm hoping that by staying lean and bootstrapped, the listing and transaction fees should be enough to keep the site going.

    Its quite possible OP doesn't believe anything in the linked to article

By OP I assume you mean me, ie: the guy who submitted the article to HN, not the author.

First, I'm not out for attention, but thanks for that unprompted attack (dick). I submitted this as it seemed wrong that it kept being censored/flagged off HN. Honestly I expected it to be flagged off again, but hoped at least a few more people would get to see it.

For me the real issue isn't so much that Thiel is Trump supporter, but that Sam Altman and PG have both been very vocal in their denouncement of Trump, so keeping Thiel as a partner (not employee, let's be clear about that) seems incongruous at best, and down right spineless at worst.

Don't get me wrong, Donald Trump is huge cunt in my view, but even if I were indifferent to Trump, I'd still feel Thiel and Ycombinator should not be doing business together with such drastically conflicting values.

It's also probably worth mentioning I'm English and live in the UK, and this whole election reminds me of Brexit. Pretty much everyone I spoke to thought it would be a landslide for remain. Hell, even the politicians advocating leave didn't seem to think they'd win. Yet here we are, £GBP in free fall, and no one on either side seems to have any idea what to do next.

Even if it seems unlikely now, Trump could end up as president, and that's scary for a lot of people.

Very cool! I'd never seen the `currentColor` option for borders, great to learn about that.

Some of the icons don't look great at the small size, particularly the smilies (Chrome 53 on OS X)

Considering the desirability of a two letter account name, it seems likely this was a social engineering attack on Instagram support staff. Sadly, humans are often the weakest link.

Hope you manage to get your account back with all the photos intact.
