So what is your proposal? We are all in this direction. Yes, we don't need another Facebook. I agree. But people still love this old-new thing.

fidzon A game running in your browser's address bar

I am using chrome 40, and the history tells nothing except my first visit.

Edit: Oh no, the back button was grayed out. I thought it affected nothing to my history. My thought is wrong. Completely wrong.

fidzon Show HN: Tail out log files from multiple remote hosts with one command

In my company, we have hundred machines and tailing done with ansible. If we want customize the log view, we can simply edit the playbook. I think it is very handy compared to we need additional npm package (and not to mention additional effort for customization).

fidzon Stripe: Bitcoin

In addition: When you implement 3D Secure (Mastercard's Mastercode or VISA's VBV), you are also not liable for chargeback. In Asia, most payment gateways implement 3D secure.

fidzon Deleting any Facebook album

> Facebook theoretically loses $22,453 for every minute their website is down.

Any reference for this?

fidzon WhatSim, a SIM Card for WhatsApp

At first i felt the same, but after i fill the form and continue, it will redirect to payment gateway page, which is using HTTPS.

Seems like it is legit. The payment gateway page shows that payment goes to ZeroMobile.it. Yeah.. i think they need a better flow.

fidzon How GitHub Uses GitHub to Document GitHub

I wonder if they host everything on their own site (Github.com) or their own Github Enterprise site, which is inaccessible from outside network.

fidzon Catching date-related failures before they become critical (2013)

So instead of

       boolean needToUninstall() {
         if now > EXPIRATION_TIME
           return true
         else
           return false
       }

we need to

       boolean needToUninstall(givenTime) {
         if givenTime > EXPIRATION_TIME
           return true
         else
           return false
       }
       
       needToUninstall(now) && doUninstall()

so the code is now testable. Or simply use dependency injection to change the value of `now`

Is it hard to pass time as parameter?

fidzon IE Web Development Support Moving to Stack Overflow

What do you think about Quora?

fidzon On Linux, 'less' can probably get you owned

Using Ubuntu 12.04

        11fc84952b1f31a91b5b6ec29740e497  /bin/more

Or it just my system?

fidzon Gorename: easy refactoring tool for Golang

fidzon Programming with Nothing (2011) [video]

Reminds me to this implementation on js: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2013/03/list-out-of-lambda/

Lambda is pretty cool.

fidzon Kodak SP360 Action Cam

> They may understand hardware, but like Sony, their software choices are questionable.

Could you elaborate? I know some Sony phone is not well-made (late release, bug somewhere, laggy etc). But i don't knos about their other consumer device.

fidzon Rebuilding the Shopify Admin: Deleting 28k lines of JavaScript

A little bit OOT, i need to connect to my VPN in US to be able to see the post. It is always redirect to my country's TLD (www.shopify.co.id), in which there is no related link (http://www.shopify.co.id/technology/15646068-rebuilding-the-...)

Edit: I wonder how Github distinguish their own "internal" email doing.

fidzon Which books for TOEFL can you recommend?

What kind of TOEFL exam you will take? IBT? ITP? Those exams have different target and different type of tests. In my local, there are two types: IBT and ITP. The ITP is the easiest one, but it is no more recommended (since most graduate school need TOEFL IBT).

But for grammar (although it is not directly test you, but it might help), i really recommend Azar's Book on Grammar [1]. http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Using-English-Grammar-Az...

fidzon Ask HN: To Join a Startup or to Join Company?

I am afraid i can't focus if i do both thing. Yes i can still do everyting in weekend, but i don't think it would be effective and impactful.

fidzon Ask HN: Should I go for MBA? Feeling torn and down. Please please advice

Could you elaborate? One of my lecturer suggest me to get an MBA, instead of getting master on CS (although i want to get my master)

fidzon Ask HN: How do you manage ideas, tasks, notes and other stuff?

So, i bring three things wherever i go:

- Sticky notes: Yes, a small sticky notes is enough. I write down all my to-do list _at that day_ in that small sticky notes. If my todos do not fit on single sticky note paper, i must write it on another paper (for another day).

- A small book: B5/A5 size is good. It is very effective when i am unable to pick up my phone (e.g.: in commuter). I write most of my ideas there.

- Google Keep (within my Phone): Seriously, i have tried Evernote, Springpad, etc, and nothing suits my usecase. I don't need categories, tags, etc. What i need is stream, because i don't care my old notes. I don't care about reminder a month ago to buy a juice for my mom. I only care about newer notes.

fidzon Sibyl: Google’s System for Large Scale Machine Learning

FWIW, the name is similar to a technology in fictional TV Show, "Sibyl System"; which is a system that composed from large amount of brain to decide what things to do next.

fidzon The Chairless Chair, an invisible chair that you can wear

What is "too much"? So what should we do? In school, we studied in class by sitting on the school chair. That habit continue in campus. Also, some worker are forced to do their job by sitting (e.g. taxi driver, pilot).

Btw, The article said that 8+ hours and it applies to woman.

fidzon Schizophrenic files

Ange Albertini is awesome. His other slides in Speakerdeck are also great.
