I've started an open source bash tool for managing notes and todos: https://github.com/hkdobrev/notetaker

I meant the latter - override the schedule on demand. E.g. if my schedule is 9-6 Mon-Fri, but I want to get focused sometimes when doing a weekend project, I can just click the focus button.

To be truly open in terms of privacy, open-source + auditable open releases is the way to go.

I'd recommend a free extension with a paid plan which has additional features. Provide the basics in the free version and the really good stuff in the paid version.

If source code is the same and it's just feature flagged based on a ping to a server to validate a license key, then it'd be indeed easy to copy the paid features in another extension. To a large extent you'd be relying on the web store moderation a copy to not be published and to tech-savvy users to not install it locally.

However, that approach could ensure a wider reach of users so the share of the paying ones to be big enough in absolute numbers.

Marketing the extension to non-developer audience would help reduce the chance of manual installation.

The biggest difference would be that the developer audience could contribute to the open-source code and you'd be making money from those contributions. I don't think the income from that alone would be enough to support you in the short-term, but in the long-term with good expansion with other products, that could prove to be a very strong passive income.

This is awesome! I would also pay for this after I've seen the privacy-aware and clear onboarding!

Feature request:

"Focus mode"

Ability to start a focus session for 30m, 1h, 2h etc. in addition to having the schedule. E.g. by default my schedule allows browsing reddit on the weekend, but if I need to get something done on Sunday I can get click the focus button. Or disable schedule and use it only in focus sessions. For now I can only either change the schedule constantly or disable/enable the extension. A simple "Focus" button would solve those 2 cases.

The focus mode could even countdown the focus time with a different colour.

This would replace RescueTime for me and I've been a paid user for years.

This is one of the best pieces of advice I've read in a while!

I've talked with my teammates about this topic before, but I've struggled to put it so well. This article (or a book chapter?) is a very nice nexus between psychology, philosophy and programming best practices for collaboration.

Is this pravduh? :D

While this program could be useful to many students, it's a loan program.

> Upon completion of the program, students will pay 10% of their salary for a five year period once they're making at least $50,000 per year. The max possible payment is capped at $50,000.

The title of the submission is a bit misleading:

> GitHub: sysget – A front-end for every package manager (github.com)

Right now, it seems like it is GitHub's own project when it's just hosted on GitHub.

It should be:

> Show HN: sysget – A front-end for every package manager (github.com)

We're using it as our applicant tracking system.

My feeling is this is a separate team as it's in the end hosted on hire.withgoogle.com. Probably the team got acquired and it was initially run as an experiment. Anyway, this is just an assumption.

The tool is quite good and the price is not that high compared to others. It's like an add-on on top of G Suite compared to the built-in apps, but has pretty tight integration with GMail and Calendar.

You can configure it quite a bit and the only thing that seems to be inherited from Google own hiring practices is the interview scheduling where X number of people would do back-to-back interviews with the candidate. But this could also be worked around if not needed.

One thing which is a weak spot is the careers iframe you can embed. They also provide a JSON feed so you can render yourself, but the built-in rendering is so basic they basically force you not to use it.

Overall, we're pretty happy with it for the couple of months we've used it and it certainly is neither a blocker or an enabler of bad hiring practices as mentioned in some of the other comments.

They've bootstrapped for some time.

In Chrome, clearing the cache, clears the saved HSTS records which are not preloaded in the browser.

> A chapter 7 bankruptcy case does not involve the filing of a plan of repayment as in chapter 13. Instead, the bankruptcy trustee gathers and sells the debtor's nonexempt assets and uses the proceeds of such assets to pay holders of claims (creditors) in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Part of the debtor's property may be subject to liens and mortgages that pledge the property to other creditors. In addition, the Bankruptcy Code will allow the debtor to keep certain "exempt" property; but a trustee will liquidate the debtor's remaining assets. Accordingly, potential debtors should realize that the filing of a petition under chapter 7 may result in the loss of property.

I wish they have clarified this in the email and the website in plain English. I'm no lawyer, but this sounds like they won't refund.

Does anyone have any information whether they'd refund people who have pre-ordered?

The new website is quite cool with all of the new animations showing off the features!

OK, Google Talk was a dead man walking for some time now. Even if it's not a nice decision for open standards at least they made a final decision whether they are either improving it or killing it. However, Google have completely lost their mind with messengers. GTalk, Hangouts, Messages, Messenger, Allo, Duo, Chat, Meet. Some available only on mobile. Some supporting SMS, some working only with SMS. Allo having G assistant in chat, G assistant is only with voice on their pixel phone. The tipping point was when both Hangouts and Messages competed to handle my SMS messages and when Hangouts won because of Gmail integration, they removed SMS from it. They really need to get it together.

I was wondering if this is the same software which was announced years ago and it was still in beta or it's a new software that's in beta. I've found I've personally added the record to Homebrew Cask in 2013 - https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/commit/429e430a622...

Imagine terrorist organisations leaders sitting down and discussing their marketing and funding plan for ad blockers.

Travis CI for example and I'd imagine most CI servers run tests on the `MERGE_HEAD` of the PR which like lotyrin said is the hypothetical merge commit. If a PR is opened from latest master, CI runs on `MERGE_HEAD` which is the same with the merge commit after the PR is merged. But if something was pushed to master after the feature branch was branched off then it's not the same commit. That's why it's recommended to run CI after merging again. But by default tests are not run on the PR HEAD which is the tip of the feature branch.

And the next step would be to allow algorithms to have bank accounts, earn money for their work and then be charged, prosecuted and put in "jail" for X number of CPU cycles.

There's a chrome://flags entry for that. I've tried them for a week on MacOS and they are not yet ready for prime time.

My bot was online and then became offline, got this response from support:

> We had to restart our bot server due to a lot of signups from PH and HN. Bot should be online in couple of minutes.

Looking forward to trying it out. We are already using Meekan, Hubot, Slackbot and Howdy in our Slack setup.

The link of the article could be replaced with http://www.reuters.com/article/netflix-launch-idINKCN0US2342... as it is the canonical desktop version with more info.

Yes, dropcam.com now points to a Nest login page with the title "dropcam by Nest".

Love the service.

I've invited few friends (from the IT industry) and nobody ever joined. I guess there aren't so much paranoid/gpg-aware people.

So I have 10 invites to give. Let me know.
