owenconti··on Vulnerability in the Mac Zoom client allows malicious websites to enable camera
Yes, verified. Terminated and deleted ~/.zoomus, links to join Zoom calls still open, but I am prompted to open Zoom first.

Thank you!
owenconti··on Show HN: Clean My Feed – Clean Up the Twitter Accounts You Follow
Hey thanks for the feedback! Mobile was definitely an after thought so I'll have to look into the swiping idea.

- Prefetching next follower makes a lot of sense

- I originally only wanted to show the last 5 tweets, but Twitter's API is weird. Adding the option to hide retweets should be doable.

- "Sort by last activity": YES! I 100% agree it makes way more sense to list by oldest follows first, however, again Twitter's API limits this :( I could go through and pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually.

- I can definitely display the bio

Thanks again for the feedback!

owenconti··on How many lines of code is Candy Japan?
I can see your argument in some cases, but if you are accepting input, at some point you'll have to accept a string (or any primitive) and convert it to your custom type.

How does static typing ensure you're mapping the correct JSON input fields to your custom types?

owenconti··on How many lines of code is Candy Japan?
How would your static typing save you from:

  model.setTitle( dto.getDescription() );

owenconti··on Ask HN: Calendar/event manager that doesn't suck?
My friend and I were just talking about this yesterday. I was surprised when he said he couldn't find a suitable solution.
owenconti··on Atlassian Acquires StatusPage
Not limited to just those products, we have issues with BitBucket.

One example: it can sometimes take > 5 mins to merge a PR.

Static sites hosted on s3? Low risk of an outage, could be worth the risk
owenconti··on Open source template for building static web sites with Prismic.io and AWS S3
HTTPS for custom domains is why I didn't go with GitHub Pages.
owenconti··on Open source template for building static web sites with Prismic.io and AWS S3
I initially had issues because I was pointing CloudFront at the normal S3 endpoint. Once that was solved, everything started working smoothly.
owenconti··on Open source template for building static web sites with Prismic.io and AWS S3
Replying to myself as a follow up:

Make sure the S3 bucket is set to Static Website Hosting mode, and make sure your Index and Error documents are set appropriately. Then make sure your CloudFront distribution is pointed at the Website's endpoint and NOT the normal S3 endpoint.

owenconti··on Open source template for building static web sites with Prismic.io and AWS S3
That is not true. This site is built with Hugo hosted on S3, running behind CloudFront and uses the AWS Certificate Manager:

owenconti··on A Guide to Naming Variables
I can't stand that. I like using names that don't make me think about what the variable means.
owenconti··on Ask HN: How much do you make at Amazon? Here is how much I make at Amazon
Not true at all. You just need to find a company that values you and your work.

Our company intentionally hires juniors so that we can groom them as they grow. I was one of those juniors < 5 years ago and I've increased my salary > 100%.

owenconti··on Inside Facebook’s Decision to Blow Up the Like Button
Our web app uses right click in a few places mainly as a convenience to power users. The same functionality can be found by using visual indicators, but may take a couple more clicks.

Overall I agree with the parent comment. Right click and long-press are hard for non-power users to find/discover.
