_fqqr··on Show HN: I created an algorithm to help me achieve Product-Market Fit
This is really hard to read on mobile.
_fqqr··on Key Change
From my experience, it just feels good to have good-looking assets in the game. I used to buy with my spare money that came from freelancing gigs, so in my head I wasn't really spending any money that I needed, even because it never was a large amount of money, just enough to have some cool skins.

In hindsight, this money could've been better spent, but I won't blame my teenage self for enjoying a little bit of financial freedom.

Of course, you also get those really rich kids that only want to brag, others that buy in order to resell and profit from it, etc.

_fqqr··on The Hacker’s Manifesto (1986)
Since I'm not understanding the down votes, just to be clear: I'm talking that unfortunately, there seems to be people that are smart and yet still believe one race is more or less than another.

> I doubt anybody smart enough to break something miles away with just a keyboard is stupid enough to believe one race is more or less than another.

Unfortunately there's a lot of evidence showing the contrary.

_fqqr··on Open Letter from Governments to Facebook Is an All-Out Attack on Encryption
Merit != Meritocracy
_fqqr··on Ask HN: Where can I find remote or quality oriented freelancing work?
Kudos for "quarter of the bugs" and not "no bugs", seems like a great and honest developer.
_fqqr··on Ask HN: Is there a way I can learn programming within 4 months?
This is a great analogy that hadn't ever crossed my mind, will certainly use in the future when giving this sort of advice!
_fqqr··on A Gambler Who Cracked the Horse-Racing Code (2018)
It is forbidden by casinos because it is in their best interest to keep winning players away. Even if the house still gets their cut, it can create a bad image for players that are losing.
_fqqr··on Just Enough Piracy Can Be a Good Thing
Piracy basically shaped Brazil's video game industry [1]. I'd say the market we have right now would not be the same if it wasn't for a whole generation (or more than one!) getting hooked to games that would never be accessible if it wasn't for piracy.

It is anedoctal, but I never bought an original game until my late teens. When I finally had the means to buy original copies and support content creators, I did. If I don't want to pay for a game that I find too expensive or not worth, I don't download it anymore, since I already have so many options to choose from.

_fqqr··on Why ElementaryOS Left Medium
I guess you meant late 2000s? We are in the late 2010s right now!
_fqqr··on Ask HN: How do you view emails with their custom domain as the person's name?
The main reason I got tired of my old e-mail is because of a repeating character that may or may not led people to a different e-mail than mine, making me lose an opportunity. I'll never know.
_fqqr··on Ask HN: How do you view emails with their custom domain as the person's name?
Yeah, I guess [ contact at mydomain dot com ] is pretty great and straightforward. I'll just be more careful whenever using other aliases to register in websites with the potential to reach me by the used e-mail.
_fqqr··on Ask HN: How do you view emails with their custom domain as the person's name?
I am using GSuite and yes, no complaints.

> How do you feel about that, in your @personal-domain sense?

That's a valid point. After thinking about it for a little while I guess that's not a problem for me.

The only downside is that any e-mail using my domain will be obviously mine (provided they know who owns the domain). If I wanted to "hide" I would have to use another e-mail, which was going to be the case anyway.

_fqqr··on Slack was down
Alternatively, there's also Rocket.Chat, which is also open source, you can self host it or pay for the cloud plans (which have special rates for certain kinds of organizations, such as OSS).

Disclaimer: I've done a GSoC project with them last year.

_fqqr··on Argdown
It is a great picture to show its cabalities, the front-page examples are quite simple.

Are there plans to monitor an entire custom domain?
