Good catch, fixed! Thanks :)

Oops, we need to update it. They are only once every 4 months now.

They are strongly encouraged to be attended whenever possible since they provide so much value! (also, they are a lot of fun!)

Wave | Multiple Roles | Full-time | between UTC -5 and +4 | 100% Remote | https://wave.com

We’re building a way for unbanked people in sub-Saharan Africa to send money instantly and affordably, saving massive fees and heartache. Top reasons you might be interested in working here:

2. It’s still early days—you’ll work on shipping critical new products and features with lots of scope and autonomy.

3. The culture at Wave is special - it's a deeply diverse team united by how excited we are to build awesome stuff for our users. We are direct, honest communicators - but also very curious and collaborative.

We’re hiring for multiple roles:

* Senior Software Engineer (Python, GraphQL, K8s) - https://www.wave.com/en/careers/job/4278511002/

* Site Reliability Engineer (Terraform, GCP, K8s) - https://www.wave.com/en/careers/job/5345783002/

jesperht··on Self-isolation is feeding my Warhammer addiction
Definitely going to give Necromunda Dark Uprising a look then, especially considering the "compatible" terrain. Havent touched Necromunda in a very very very long time, so love the idea of giving it a shot again. Thank you for the tip, and goood luck with your stealth mission ;-)

Anyone interested in getting into the hobby and would like something a bit different, then you may want to give Infinity a look. I often describe it as X-Com meets 40K. Infinity is similar to 40K in the sense that it’s in the future and sci-fi with aliens, but a few key differences:

* Rules are free and available on the official website for download.

* Gameplay is much more dynamic with the non active player getting to react to moves made by the active player during their turn. (Much less waiting/doing nothing)

* More near future with current nations represented at places

* Fewer religious overtones

* Bladerunner/Manga aesthetics

* Smaller company, but much more community driven

* Played with fewer figures. A typical full length game will have between 10-20 minis per side.

* Well organised digital competitive play tracking with online leaderboards and tournament organising tools. (This makes tournament matchups much more fair as newbies will be matched against other newbies right away etc)

* Rules are quite a bit more complex than that of 40K. Great for people who like that, but certainly a bit of a learning curve for newbies. (Code One mitigates this, see below)

There’s also a new version coming out called Code One that was just announced for pre-orders and is shipping next month. Seems like a good starting point as it’s a slightly simplified and quicker version that can serve as a jumping off point to the full game.

jesperht··on The problem isn’t data protection, it’s data collection
Here's a link to the full talk for anyone interested:

It helps frame the response a bit more in the context of the question the host asked. (~"is GDPR the panacea?")

jesperht··on Show HN: Guide to LLC Formation for Indie Makers
This is super useful - thanks for making it!

Will you be adding additional insight for non-U.S. citizens as well?

jesperht··on Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018?
Far from "learned", but in the process of learning about Quantum Computing. As someone who has always been rather terrible at math and physics, I was really scared to approach this subject. I love computing/programming though, and I think that this is a field with massive potential, so I'm pushing myself way past my comfort zone and engaging my learning-mindset to maximum. If you're curious, I'm also documenting things I'm learning in a weekly newsletter: https://quantumcomputingweekly.com
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Thank you for the kind words, happy you enjoyed it!
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Thanks for taking a look. At the moment it's only handing receiving email, not sending - disk quota/etc are unnecessary. Cheers that link about names, really good point and quite interesting!

Netlify is purely hosting static content and proxying requests to the API on DO which is doing all the dynamic stuff.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Cost bit should hopefully be a bit more clear now, put on the main landing page along with the December sale section :)
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Hah, I guess I'm trying to do both! Either way: Pricing is now on the main landing page together with the sale messaging :-) Thanks for the feedback folks!
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Ah, TIL - had no idea :-) BTW, I deployed a fix which will hopefully fix the diacritic bug you mentioned in case you'd like to give it another go!
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Great question. We mention it in our ToS that we are happy to transfer the domain whenever you want in case you want to take your business elsewhere.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Been ditching my business cards for http://clinck.me/ (no affiliation) over these last few years with great success, maybe worth a shot?
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
<3
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Whoops, that's certainly an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out, will make sure that gets fixed :-)
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Thanks for taking a peek and your comments really highlight a need for me to make the pricing and explanation of the service much more clear. We generate several domain name suggestions based on your family name, you pick the one you like, and then we take care of registering and managing the domain for you. I also like the anti-facebook angle, great point.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Also, agreed - their site & demo are really great!
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
That's a really interesting idea, thank you for sharing.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Holy cow I can't believe I didn't think of this, that's a great idea. I was struggling with finding a good way to hook people in with a freemium option, and this could be it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Great tip - just deployed :-)
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Thanks for the feedback! This is certainly a concern and one that I've tried to avoid by focusing on receiving (forwarded) email and not sending for the following reasons:

* Easier setup - nothing to configure and you can keep using your existing email setup. Using email clients can be very difficult for some people, especially older folks, so I don't want to make their lives harder by forcing them to learn something new.

* Less maintenance/upkeep - not having to worry about storing/sending/retrying means that users have a better UX.

I'd love to easily integrate sending from the custom email, and I may add it in the future for the power users, but I think the cost/benefit of it right now just isn't worth it so I'll keep things Simple©.

jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
That's a great point - wasn't intentionally "hiding" it, but you're absolutely right that by not collecting any e-mails I'll be missing out on plenty of opportunities. Will see if I can work it in without making it creepy + adding some pricing details to the main page. Appreciate you taking the time to look and giving feedback.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Bummer, sorry to hear it. Shoot me an email at jesper@namekin.com with your family name and I'll see if I can manually generate some suggestions for you that work :-)
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Yup, definitely a challenge and the reason why I try to suggest lots of different TLDs as well as some simple mutations like name + "family". I'm still trying to figure out how else I can open it up for more useful domain names that don't become completely convoluted.
jesperht··on Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family
Came up with the idea for this with my wife and decided to build it! Been dogfooding it with my family and am now sharing it with the rest of the world.

Tech stack is Node/Express running on Dokku/Digital Ocean for the API. UI is built using Parcel and hosted on Netlify.

Would love to hear your thoughts and happy to answer any questions you folks may have :-)

jesperht··on KDE Connect 1.10 released
Does anyone have a quick and easy way of getting this running on OSX, or can suggest an alternative?

Currently trying to get this to work via Craft (https://community.kde.org/Craft) and hoping for the best meanwhile

jesperht··on Show HN: Mindstamp – Make Any Video Interactive in Seconds
Really slick - great landing page and I love the demo. Clearly demonstrates what the product does, and I can certainly see the value.

Small nitpick: IDK if intentional, but it seems that you're not quite sanitizing input. I Added an annotation with <script>console.log("Hello")</script> and it printed to the console as I viewed the video.
