tomklein··on An even worse anti-encryption bill than EARN IT
Democratic nations are drifting more and more away from the wills of their people. How can this be changed?
tomklein··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
I actually like it but I miss the small bar at the top containing the links to the releases, commits, language information etc. in a single place. However, I have a quiet big display with great color settings and didn't try it yet on my smaller laptop displays.

I guess if your display doesn't show the light grays and shadows as well it may suck.

tomklein··on Adobe to remove Flash Player from web site after December 2020
I’ve got flashbacks to the time when I started creating my first website at a young age in the 2000s. Flash was this unreachable height for me and I just started testing HTML and how the internet even works. Now I’m a full time software engineer and happy on how far the web has gone until today :)
tomklein··on Weird code for Google Chrome text highlighting
Thanks for sharing! Learned a lot :)
tomklein··on Ask HN: Looking for side project ideas
If you either want to do stuff like processing or analyzing it on the backend, or let users access their data from other devices, use a database. If not, use local storage.

Local storage has the benefit of saving you bandwidth and storage cost, no matter how much your users save, and probably more privacy.

Databases on the other hand, allow you to „do stuff“ with the data when the user is offline, share it through cross-device sessions and things like that. However the users can’t be sure what you are doing with it.

tomklein··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I worked on a chrome extension against phishing based on trust.

Interesting thought
tomklein··on Ask HN: One-man teams that got into YC, etc., without much self-capital?
I guess a lot of times business knowledge wins and you’ll have a hard time getting into YC if you don’t have the necessarily skills to sell your startup and yourself to others.

tomklein··on Ask HN: CS, still a good career in 3-5 years?
That's something I thought about too, but the fact that most people that I know who are studying it, are producing really bad work like software development, for example, is something you have to have lots of practical experience to get good at it. Well, that's the situation in Germany however and people like me, who really enjoy developing software and bring innovative ideas are wanted much more than anyone completing their course.
