Nickoladze··on Twitch is hacked, and its source code leaked
aaaand it's gone
Nickoladze··on GitLab 8.11 Released with Issue Boards and Merge Conflict Resolution
I work at a small IT company that does website development for small businesses around the city. Our projects usually last around 1 to 4 months. We use JetBrains YouTrack with all open projects showing on one big board.

Each week we meet with project owners (somebody at the client company). They give us a list of tasks they want completed this week and we go over tasks we finished last week.

After the project is done, we move to only working on one-off issues they send. Usually bugs or small new feature requests. A simple issue tracker would work fine here, but we still have weekly meeting with our boss to show that we actually did work last week.

We already use self-hosted GitLab for our code, so I want to try out this new board feature to see if it meets our needs.

Nickoladze··on He Always Had a Dark Side
There's an option to pay per content released instead of monthly.
Nickoladze··on He Always Had a Dark Side
His name seems to be quite well known at this point, lots of stories about him cooperating with US feds in 2014-2015.

Nickoladze··on He Always Had a Dark Side
So he dropped TrueCrypt and told everybody it was insecure when he was picked up by the feds, fearing that they would try and force him to open a security hole? Wow.
Nickoladze··on Too many people have peed in the pool
> to be offended on behalf of others they do not even know

Never thought about it like this before. Sounds really strange when you put it this way.

Nickoladze··on Tablet shipments decline 10.1% in 2015
That's how I feel with smartphones. I've skipped the last 2 generations of Nexus phones (although I had to go back and buy a Nexus 6 to use Google Fi) simply because it works well enough for me and there are no new hardware features that I care about.

I don't plan on upgrading until my phone starts to become a hindrance.

Nickoladze··on Show HN: Slack Night Mode
That's why I use Slack's IRC gateway. Just use your favorite IRC client.

Poked around and found this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/groove
Nickoladze··on CloudFlare Route leak
Who are these BGP admins? Is it an admin for each AS that would blacklist their traffic from the abusing AS?

Just learning about this for the first time.

Nickoladze··on GitLab 8.0 released with new looks and integrated CI
Thanks for the help, was just poking around preferences to see if I could enable it.

The dashboard doesn't show an activity feed anymore, just a giant list of projects? That's pretty lame.
Nickoladze··on Now Shipping Soylent 2.0
My mindset is that I live alone and I heavily dislike cooking food. When not consuming soylent, I live entirely off of take-out and delivery food. There is almost no way that Soylent isn't more healthy than the stuff I would otherwise eat.
Nickoladze··on Now Shipping Soylent 2.0
In the past he has says he eats normal food only during social occasions.
Nickoladze··on Now Shipping Soylent 2.0
I'm super excited. I was on Soylent consistently last summer/fall, but had to stop during the winter because living off chilled drinks in winter was hell. I've struggled all summer to get back into the groove and I think pre-bottled Soylent would be best for me. Now I'm just hoping it's good at room temperature.
Nickoladze··on Apple Unveils a More Powerful Apple TV
Chromecast is working really well for them. Android TV would make them compete with themselves.

Nickoladze··on Google Now’s Staff Exodus Reveals Hurdles for New CEO Pichai
It seems nice to me, but doesn't fit my lifestyle at all.

I don't keep appointments, I never book planes or hotels, I don't drive anywhere that I need directions, I don't follow sports teams, I don't order enough stuff online to care about tracking them, so on and so on.

Nickoladze··on Ask HN: Having Trouble with Google Public DNS?
Thanks for the heads up, was thinking Cloudflare was down or something.

Switched to OpenDNS @ 208.67.222.222/208.67.220.220

Nickoladze··on Firefox 37 Release Notes
Sometimes I'm stuck littering the DOM with random <div> or <span> tags for conditionals and whatnot in various templating engines.

ng-switch in AngularJS, for instance, is going to leave a wrapping tag for the switch declaration.

Twitch reactions are what make it real-time. You might be more interested in a turn-based strategy game where you can plan out your moves before striking.
Nickoladze··on From 0 to $1B – Slack's Founder Shares Their Launch Strategy
I have a small group of friends (just 6) that have been using IRC for years. We switched over to Slack purely because now I no longer have to manage/pay for a server.

Most of us use the IRC gateway and ignore the website, but we do use the Android app. Last I checked, IRC apps were pretty terrible.

Nickoladze··on Foobar
Read that post, the person searching for Python had a different page than the rest of us. Something with a console.

Seems like you need to be "invited".

Nickoladze··on Drupal Core – Highly Critical Public Service announcement
If I'm using something like Composer to manage dependencies, should I be running an update every week on every past website I've created? I feel like having this run as a cron job would be a bad idea.

If I'm not, is there a way to be notified about critical patches? Should I be signed up for a mailing list for every Github project I've incorporated?

Where I work, it seems like the standard practice is to finish the project, deploy it, and let it sit until the client requests any changes.

Nickoladze··on Kicked Off Facebook, and Wondering Why
That quote was from another person.

“We don’t realize how ingrained Facebook is in our everyday lives,” a drag queen named Heklina told KNTV in San Jose, Calif. “I was shut out of Facebook for 24 hours and felt like I had a limb chopped off.”

Nickoladze··on I'm Leaving Mojang
Basically "I was successful once, it was awful".

Sometimes I wish he would have just stuck with Minecraft as the only developer and stayed away from the spotlight. Plenty of very popular game creators have done so (Icefrog, Toady One).

I really enjoyed the times back when Minecraft was just getting popular and you could tell Notch was adding features that he genuinely enjoyed (Redstone update, for instance). Then he started up a giant company and started assuming responsibility for things like server admins charging money, when he should have sat back and let people do what they want.

Nickoladze··on Apple Pay
Hopefully this means stores will actually install the NFC readers or whatever.
Nickoladze··on Shout – A web IRC client
My friends and I replaced our IRC server with Slack and just use the IRC gateway to connect to it as if it were an IRC server. Pretty much seamless.

On the plus side, the Slack Android app is pretty good. Much better than any IRC app I've used.
