simzor··on GitHub Having Issues
Haha. To be fair GitHub has had a lot of issues that last few months though.

Is the server down due to HN traffic? :P
simzor··on Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair?
When I first started working from home because of the pandemic, I had a IKEA Marcus chair, however, this soon was too bad of a chair to sit all day in, so I ended up investing in a Herman Miller Embody, and have not been looking back since. Great chair!
simzor··on Please provide feedback on my first website
First thing that came to mind is that you should set a max width of the content container. For those of us that have a ultrawide for example, it can become hard to read when the content spans the entire screen.
simzor··on AWS Frankfurt incident
I like that idea :D

This reminds me that we should get ChaosMonkey up and running. :D

Are they also having issues with Webhooks and/or pushes? Had some slowdowns for pushes, and webhooks does not seem to be triggering.
simzor··on Sourcetrail: Free and open-source interactive source explorer
This looks great. Is there something similar that supports PHP?
simzor··on Bringing the print statement back
Hate the idea to be honest. In my opinion this will just bloat the language, no need. Rather avoid the hundreds of different standards like PHP.
simzor··on Zoom says it won’t encrypt free calls so it can work more with law enforcement
As Zoom now owns Keybase, I am really worried about the future of Keybase, especially after statements like these.

This also makes none or very little sense - if this is actually just to cooperate with law enforcement, why would encrypting corporate (or paying) calls be any better, the bad people that are referred to in the statement could just get a paid plan?

simzor··on Notion for everyone
Such a great tool - so glad I gave it a shot, which made me fall in love with it.
simzor··on Coming to Chrome: a new way to use tabs
This is great. With this comes to Firefox. I guess Firefox has a kind of similar feature (Containers), but this new Chrome feature looks way nicer, even though it might not have containerization.

Can't stress this enough!
simzor··on Show HN: Insomnia Designer – Open-source collaborative editor for API design
Insomnia is great. This will be a great addition! However, it annoys me that the image showing the tool is not zoomable or clickable, so you can barely see what it's showing.

Great work. Love the landing page!
