Weizilla··on Lesser Known Coding Fonts
For those who found almost the right font but not quite, FontForge is a free and open source editor that's pretty easy to use and even has a tutorial on editing and design:

Editing glyphs is just like using any image editor. You can mod any existing font or even combine glyphs from multiple fonts together into one.

Weizilla··on Ask HN: How do you share/organize knowledge at work and life?
How do you backup OneNote?

The link to where you explain it is broken: http://protips.maxmasnick.com/backing-up-onenote-notebooks

You mentioned it as being a critical feature but from what I've been reading, it's pretty complex and tricky due to it's weird syncing rules and relationship with OneDrive. The only decent solution requires a Windows version. See: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/good-...

Weizilla··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
Where do you see it asking for contacts? It didn't ask me when I signed up and when I check my Google Security settings it only says it has access to:

* View your basic profile info (per Google: name, email address, and profile picture)

* View your email address

Weizilla··on My phone was searched at LAX, which apparently is the new normal
It's probably just a standard question so Apple can migrate your data if the repair fails and you need a new machine.

My MacBook Pro battery had to be replaced too and the Apple rep asked the same thing. I just told them I rather have them wipe the machine instead and they were happy to just put that in the service notes.

I am interested in learning more. How can I reach you?
Weizilla··on 12 Fractured Apps
Two things which I never understood about using environment variables are how do you version control the changes and how do you manage these variables when you have more than just a handful of them?

In this example, it's only six simple values but what happens when you have 10 or 20? Or you have 10 applications with six values each that need to be deployed to four different environments?

Or what about if there are multiple teams making concurrent changes at the same time? What if some application starts failing due to to a recent variable change and you want to revert back or track down who made the change?

I feel like once your application grows to more than just a few simple values, you end up creating a big file to populate these values and you end up back to using configuration files.

Weizilla··on My notes on Amazon's EC2 Container Service, aka Docker on AWS
What's the difference between ECS and Elastic Beanstalk (EB)? EB already supports deploying single and multiple docker images per EC2 instance.
Weizilla··on Android Studio 1.0
Can these features be added to a vanilla Intelij install? What will happen to the existing Android plugin?
