rchrd2··on How I Got my $3500 Camera Kit Stolen on KitSplit
Somehow the name makes sense. KitSplit - Split from your kit.
rchrd2··on 8bit Workshop
About a year ago, I used this to make a hack of the Atari game "Freeway", which is just ambient drone sounds: https://gist.github.com/rchrd2/9f4d8cedef373c05563f69486cf49...

Introducing `shortcut`, a command line utility published on NPM.

Shortcut makes it easy to remember commonly-used commands. You can add a shortcut with `shortcut add $name $command`. For example `shortcut add hello echo Hello!` `shortcut hello`.

Learn more at https://github.com/rchrd2/shortcut, or install it with `npm install -g shortcut-cli`.

You're totally right. The site has been updated to remove that effect.
rchrd2··on Ask HN: How easy/hard is it to offer HTTPS to your users?
After you acquire a certificate, it's pretty tricky getting the configuration correct. I don't know about Apache, but in Nginx there are a lot of settings to set so that you deliver that fastest https experience. There's a video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHxD-G0YjiU. I'm dealing with this issue right now, where I have https setup, but it isn't running optimally.
rchrd2··on Ask HN: Has anyone else noticed Stack Overflow clones in Google search results?
I guess it's a win-win situation. Stack Overflow's ranking goes up, because of all the sites referencing it, and the spammers make money.

But as a consequence, the users have to sift through spam results.
