lllorddino··on Ask HN: What free or low-cost static site hosting do you use most?
I currently have one website that's built with Jekyll and I host it for free on Github Pages. The only thing I'm paying for is the custom domain name from Namecheap. Also I set up HTTPS with Cloudflare in front of it.

I prefer this method over managing a server any day.

Digital Ocean tutorials are probably the best and simplest ones to follow. Neat idea.
lllorddino··on Reddit CEO admits to altering user comments that were critical of him
> Reddit is known for censoring subreddits the admins do not like

r/The_Donald mods were censoring all comments against Donald Trump (hence why they didn't reach r/all)

> the CEO mocked Facebook's knowledge of their users data saying that at Reddit they know not only what one publicly speaks (such as in Facebook), but also their users "darkest secrets" (in an interview about advertising on Reddit).

It was clearly a joke taken out of context from conspiracy theorist.

lllorddino··on What I learned from spending 3 months applying to jobs after a coding bootcamp
I just hate how these "bootcamps" are only in it for the money and then they have the audacity to tell their students to LIE on interviews. How about you actually pick a language YOU love, make projects, improve. Node.js LUL
lllorddino··on Static Website Generators
Static site generators are easy to learn and host for free on Github pages but setting up TLS with a custom domain name is a pain. I currently have Cloudflare in front handling that for me.
lllorddino··on The Dropbox hack is real
> 1Password now has a subscription service for $3 a month and you get the first 6 months for free.

Don't pay for this people. Use the open source password manager Keepass http://keepass.info/

lllorddino··on A few HTML tips
That feeling when the first paragraph of an article points out something you've been doing wrong all along :D. I use <br> in between paragraphs and it looks horrible, what should I be using instead?
lllorddino··on Why People Should Learn Python
I hate Python. My linux distro comes with version 2.7 yet I should be using version 3?? Yes it makes writing complex programs quickly with its endless libraries, but I don't consider myself learning anything if all I'm doing is copy pasting the API docs. I've recently switched to Go and the language is small and easy, docs/source code are well commented, and lastly I'm actually learning how computer programs work.
lllorddino··on “Node.js is one of the worst things to happen to the software industry” (2012)
> better alternatives around with much more sound models and environments, Erlang and Go

Node.js makes it extremely fast to build robust and fully featured web apps quickly. I'm using Go currently for the backend and it's a pain since everything has to be written from scratch. I still enjoy it since the language is simple.

Just steal your neighbors wifi..
lllorddino··on Hello from Orkut
They should also buy the domain name goodbye.com it seems empty. Why do people buy domain names and leave a blank screen like that????
lllorddino··on Let's Encrypt root certificate trusted by Mozilla
Hacker News should switch from Comodo to Let's Encrypt. Scumbags attempted to trademark Let's Encrypt. https://letsencrypt.org/2016/06/23/defending-our-brand.html
lllorddino··on Ruby on Rails Tutorial
Rails is still a thing? Wow thought everyone moved on to Go and Node.js.
lllorddino··on CloudFlare, We Have a Problem
I use Cloudflare because I host my static website on Github. The flexible ssl mode is good enough because there's no user data being passed around only articles of mine.

I've used the full ssl mode on self hosted servers and can't see what the dilemma is besides you being paranoid that Cloudflare will tamper with data passing through them. Evidence?

lllorddino··on Pokemon Go is a huge security risk
Just revoked access because the app never disclosed this information on signing up with my Google account. This is sick.
lllorddino··on Autopsy reveals Debian founder committed suicide
Autopsy?? The article clearly states the police found him with a cable around his neck.
lllorddino··on Banning Sites That Don't Respect Adblock
Personally I haven't clicked on a single Forbes link in months after being forced to unblock them to view content that should be available to the public with no catch. I never go back to sites that implement that system.
lllorddino··on Go’s march to low-latency GC
Before Go I was web developing in Node.js but wanted to get "closer to the metal." Thought about using C for the back end but then heard about Go and have been in love ever since. My favorite programming language by far.
lllorddino··on FreePascal and Lazarus Foundation
I tried out Pascal a while ago and really liked the language. Also installed Lazarus and was able to make a simple Windows GUI. Although now I'm on Linux and may have to give it another go.
lllorddino··on How well do you know CSS display?
Pretty interesting, I recently switched my nav-bar to display: flex and find it way easier.
lllorddino··on Make the Web Work for Everyone
> Millions of websites have compatibility problems on one or more of the major browsers, leading to a poor user experience.

Can we just let these older browsers die out by not developing for them? Surely the users using them will update once every website they visit is broken.

Personally I only add the html5shiv and make HTML5 elements display block.

lllorddino··on Steam warns users against gambling site after YouTube stars discovered as owners
Fair enough.
lllorddino··on Ask HN: What should I do with my old laptop?
Why "slap Ubuntu on it?" Personally I use Fedora but don't see the reason why he should change the operating system...
lllorddino··on Ways to get motivated when you don’t feel like working
Yes external factors will definitely get you off your butt or whatever.
lllorddino··on Steam warns users against gambling site after YouTube stars discovered as owners
How is buying CSGO skins or whatever different from any other game that sells virtual goods from RNGesus?

A.) Why does your kid have your credit card

B.) Youtubers have always made money from their viewers

lllorddino··on Ways to get motivated when you don’t feel like working
Give yourself a goal to accomplish within a specific amount of time. It's easy to procrastinate when you have all the time in the world. It's hard when there's a due date.

So I just clicked that link and got this:

lllorddino··on How a team of young people helped rebuild healthcare.gov (2015)
Half way into the article and still no mention of what the back end was like. Sigh. Also I wonder why they weren't allowed to use AWS.
lllorddino··on No grades, no timetable: Berlin school turns teaching upside down
> such as coding a computer game instead of sitting a maths exam.

Okay I suck at math but am decent at programming and the last time I checked there is a bunch of math in game development.

I agree that some subjects in school are useless but if you give a kid the option of doing whatever he wants versus learning math (which most would) then I'd say your school system sucks.
