markthethomas··on Quacks.dev – Rubberduck Debugging as a Service
Little thing I put together over the weekend to aid in rubbberduck debugging. Uses some basic NPP/AI stuff to match responses to replies
markthethomas··on Secure and Ad-Free Internet Anywhere with Streisand and Pi Hole
awesome! glad you enjoyed it :) trying to write up the things I find super helpful (code-related or not) and share them. especially when I can't find any good docs on how to get something working lol
markthethomas··on Secure and Ad-Free Internet Anywhere with Streisand and Pi Hole
interesting! Haven't had any issues w/ netflix yet; wondering if it's an eventually-consistent thing or a static config on their part (i.e. will I eventually get blocked? not sure lol)
markthethomas··on Secure and Ad-Free Internet Anywhere with Streisand and Pi Hole
ah sorry if that's not clear; I started by running Pi Hole on my RBP, then added it to a VPN setup. Nice to have it running at home to block our other devices though
markthethomas··on Secure and Ad-Free Internet Anywhere with Streisand and Pi Hole
hah! I meant "in my free-time" lol but glad you enjoyed!
markthethomas··on I'm writing a book about React!
I'd love to know if anyone has suggestions/thoughts on what they'd like to see in this book; the TOC is pretty comprehensive I feel, but would love to know what else people would be looking for! :)

markthethomas··on Questions I ask in interviews
2 reasons: 1) I wrote the blog post and wanted to get it out there; 2) I thought it had already been submitted due to its breadth and how it was created. Turns out I was wrong, though. There you go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10527831

markthethomas··on React Color – Color Pickers from Sketch, Photoshop, Chrome and More
This looks awesome; the color pickers I've seen for react so far are either really minimally complete or too rigid. Nice to have a solid one to reference/use if I need it. Thanks for your work on this!
markthethomas··on ECMAScript 2015 Approved
but...whatever happened to es6? ;)
markthethomas··on Show HN: Tyk Cloud – Open Source API Management in The Cloud
also heder !== header :) (under security and access control section)
markthethomas··on Io.js 2.0.0 Released
Congrats to the io.js team! I know there's lots going on in the node vs. io.js world/debate/comparison/everything, but regardless it's so great to see a team working on an OSS project so well.
markthethomas··on Show HN: Crudlet.js – A common, streamable interface for synchronizing data
Looks awesome! Agreed w/below that more usage examples would be great!
markthethomas··on Gogs, an alternative to Gitlab
Totally valid -- I guess I just like to see projects that try something new out, develop their own design, or at least put their own spin on something. Just a personal preference, really.
markthethomas··on Gogs, an alternative to Gitlab
Is it just me, or does it bother anyone that the design seems SO ripped from Github? Github's UI has a lot to be said for it and perhaps emulation is more of a compliment here, but...even the icon font glyphs...
markthethomas··on FCC Chairman: This Is How We Will Ensure Net Neutrality
This is really encouraging. Having trouble not assuming it'll get torn down by 'interested parties', though.
markthethomas··on Facebook was down
I can get back on; able to see posts from hours ago, noting within 5 hours-ish. Anyone with an ops background able to give a JS eng who has no ops experience like myself a glimpse into what bringing services back online like that looks like? No experience with ddos mitigation techniques
