po1nter··on Servo nightly builds on Windows now available
Doesn't even launch. The window appears very briefly then closes immediately. If any of the maintainers are here let me know how can I help you with this. I'm on Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.13) x64
po1nter··on Firefox 51.0
This will be the first software that I use everyday (and that I know of) that speaks my native tongue: Kabyle. It might not mean much to the rest of the world, especially since we're not that many native speakers, but I'm loving the fact that they've added it.

As roddux mentioned I'm talking about KeePass (the one at http://www.keepass.info)
po1nter··on KeepassXC – A cross-platform community fork of KeepassX
ASnyone know why there's no Windows version yet? I'd like to know how this compares to the original .Net KeePass.
po1nter··on .NET Core Image Processing
if you want to learn .Net development then you should try pluralsight. it's a great resource for everything .net. I'm on mobile right now but you can get free 3 months subscription. you can also get a free month I think to wintellect.

And if you are using npm & bower in the same project then this other issue is a show stopper https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/616
po1nter··on GitLab 8.13 Released with Multiple Issue Boards and Merge Conflict Editor
If only they could include sub-tasks it would be perfect for our team.
po1nter··on Yarn – A new package manager for JavaScript
They should update the getting started section. I get a warning when trying to install it:

    C:\Users\******>npm install -g yarnpkg  
    npm WARN deprecated yarnpkg@0.15.1: Please use the `yarn` package instead of `yarnpkg`

> Why can't Chrome allow me to just turn off audio on that tab

Well this feature is built into Chrome. Just right click the rogue tab and click "Mute Tab"

po1nter··on Ask HN: What are the best practises for using SSH keys?
> - Is it better to use a different passphrase on each key, or does using the same one not matter much?

It is better to use a different passphrase for each key but it is also less convenient unless you're using a password manager (personally, I'm using KeePass)

> - How much less secure is it to not use a passphrase on a key?

That depends on the security of the computer where the keys are. I remember a Firefox vulnerability where one site exploiting it was looking for ssh keys on the local file system. So I'd say that a passphrase is very important.

> - Should you use a different key per user account, per server, or per use-case (i.e. personal or work)?

Personally I'm using a key per account per host.

> - Does increasing the amount of bits in a key really have an effect on the security of the key, or does it not make much difference in a real-world use?

Yes up until 2048 where the returns of increasing the amount of bits will start diminishing.[1]

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm already using Linux where it makes sense for me (my website, Gitlab instance, etc). I asked about the Windows version since that's what I'm using most of the time being a .Net dev.
