I'm a student with plans to become a... something. I'm not quite sure yet.

Texmaker is pretty close. It doesn't update live, but I've never actually needed that capability. Tons of other useful features too. No affiliation, I just use it a lot.

teacup··on Show HN: Neeto, a secure code box for developers
Actually, no. For security, I assume your using something like SJCL (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'd just want to run my own version.

I would trust you to use the same code in both places because I'd be paying you so I guess there'd be some sort of accountability?

teacup··on Show HN: Neeto, a secure code box for developers
IMO, release a version that doesn't do as much. Don't include the account system, and the local encryption.

I've shown it to a few friends and they said they would pay, even if it was open source.

Any chance this is open source? Neeto seems super awesome, and, well, neeto!

It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I trust me more.

teacup··on Ask HN: Any student bug bounty hunters?
Poke things.

Seriously though, I started because I wanted to secure my server. So I looked at how other people secure better severs. Sometimes I looked so deep I found errors, normally little things like leaving a default account set up, or leaving FTP wide open.

If you're looking for some generic response like "Just go to http://hunt4.bugs", I don't think one exists.

yeah, sure.
teacup··on Ask HN: Any student bug bounty hunters?
I'm a student, but not a bug bounty hunter by any means. I've come across a few security bugs, nothing huge, and normally just send emails to the company with a quick note about what I've found. Every once in a while it leads to a little cash or so. I don't intentionally look for bugs, it just so happens that I enjoy poking other things to see what happens. The biggest bug I ever found was a wee-little searchbar error in LinekdIn (If typed a very specific gibberish string into the searchbar, you could crash Safari. To this day I'm still not exactly sure why), and instead of money, the guy offered me a job.

Am I student bug bounty hunter? No. I'm a student that sometimes breaks things and tells people when I do.

teacup··on Ask HN: Good sci-fi movies?
It's an unpopular opinion, but I didn't love Blade Runner. Don't get me wrong I like Phillip K. Dick as much as the next guy, the movie just wasn't there for me.
teacup··on Ask HN: Good sci-fi movies?
Going to repeat a lot of what has been said so far:

- Minority Report (The TV show isn't bad either)

- Ex Machina

- District 9

- Elysium

- Oblivion

- Edge of Tomorrow

- Looper

- I am Legend

- Her

- The Martian

- The Matrix (Only 2 & 3 if you're super bored)

- Basically any of the Mad Max series

- Firefly (TV show, movies are OK)

- Dark Matter (TV show)

- Snow Piercer

- American Ultra

- Last Witch Hunter (more fantasy than SciFi)

- Riddick

- Dredd

- X Files (I mean, it's not NOT scifi...)

- Treasure Planet (Yes, the animated one)

- Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Gets a bad rap for being animated, but it has it's own language and everything)

- Serial Lain Experiments (anime)

- Watchmen

- The Dark Knight

- Inception

- The Prestige (technically SciFi)

I can go on for hours
