nsaje··on Binance is fucked
They're around, they just don't make it into the news. Example: Bitstamp https://www.bitstamp.net/
nsaje··on Show HN: PgCat, Postgres pooler with sharding, load balancing and failover
Pgbouncer does have stats, you can get them using the `SHOW STATS` family of commands. You can then either manually scrape them or use something like pgbouncer_exporter[1] for Prometheus.

nsaje··on Switching to the i3 window manager
If you want background showing, check out i3-gaps https://github.com/OstOgBajer/i3-gaps
nsaje··on Project Loom and Structured Concurrency
If I understand correctly this is to Java what Gevent/Eventlet are to Python. Asynchronous execution without having to write asynchronous code.

I've been doing this in Python for a long time and I love it, even though it can lead to some hard-to-debug issues (due to monkeypatching).

nsaje··on Talkshow – Team videos in non-real-time
Great idea! Some feedback:

- Too much info required to start (you should streamline signup, job title shouldn't be mandatory IMO)

- Creating a new message should be fast! Meaning:

   - title, body & content should be optional, why can't I just send a video?

   - clicking Save should automatically upload video - right now video is ignored if Save is clicked mid-recording
nsaje··on Non cogito, ergo sum
This is what the book The Inner Game of Tennis is all about.
nsaje··on Mass-Produced Electric Lada from 30 Years Ago
Yugo was produced by Zastava (of Yugoslavia), not Lada.

nsaje··on The Coming .NET Renaissance
I have enjoyed using C# for the odd desktop app project here and there, but haven't been able to use it much since it used to be Windows only. It's great that it's finally becoming a real option for cross-platform software!

Microsoft has some really smart people working on C#, which shows in how the language has evolved into a much more pleasant form than Java has.

nsaje··on Iosevka – A Typeface for Code, from Code
I felt the same way at first, but I got used to it very quickly. Now I can't switch back, all the other fonts seem bloated and wasting screen real estate.

In fact, it's so much more space efficient that I can fit three code files side by side where I used to be able to fit two.

nsaje··on Apple is working with Energous on wireless charging
What about spring-loaded retractable pins? They'd automatically adjust to any case thickness.
nsaje··on GitTips
I use scm_breeze[0] which adds these shortcuts + has numbered file shortcuts, which allow you to type 'ga 1 3' to add files 1 and 3 (numbers are shown by 'gs' - git status).

nsaje··on Git-secret – store private data in a Git repo
At Zemanta, we developed py-secretcrypt[0] and go-secretcrypt[1] for keeping secrets encrypted with Amazon KMS (Key Management Service) in our repos. They are then decrypted on the fly by the application.

Access control is managed through AWS KMS key policies, with EC2 instances running the applications having permissions to decrypt the secrets.

Blog post about this will follow soon.

nsaje··on Facebook, Google, Twitter agree to delete hate speech in 24 hours: Germany
Free speech does not give you the right to hate speech. The title is misleading, because they only agreed to remove hate speech only, not all anti-immigration comments.

EDIT: To clarify, hate speech is for example speech inciting doing harm to others. As a concrete example, in the heat of the refugee crisis, I was regularly seeing calls to arms to go shoot all the refugees at the borders on my Facebook wall. It made me cringe.

nsaje··on Show HN: Lasergist.com – Your custom design in pure, laser-cut Stainless Steel
This looks really interesting, I'll try it out when I build my next Ergodox keyboard for a stainless steel case instead of acryllic!
nsaje··on Self-hosted alternatives to popular cloud services
If you haven't already, you should check out Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/ which allows you to self-host these services sandboxed.
nsaje··on Optimizely Statistics Engine
What a misleading comparison: http://i.imgur.com/aWqxk2U.png

"95% chance you'll make the right decision" vs "30% chance you'll make the wrong decision", emphasis mine.
