This is a great point but do note that it is quite easy to setup [1] a private npm registry as well. Most orgs actually do just that as you really do not want a production build failing if npm goes down.

Either that or you vendor in your dependencies.

Do you need to signup to find jobs?

Because neither a simple "Java" nor a "Javascript" query returned anything (also tried using all lowercase).

It's very interesting to see this on HN because we're actively working in this space, albeit on building a training platform but the long-term goal is to generate models that can outperform the current ones that require a lot of expert input.

I think that these days it is safe to assume that one could always be locked out of their google account for whatever reason. It is best practice to simply create a local account with whatever app/service that one wants to use.

I personally use an email with a custom domain which I pay for so I am relatively secure of keeping access to my email address. Moreover, I use a local password manager to store all my passwords. This setup is a bit of a pain but it is also liberating as I am not at the mercy of any third party when I am transacting with a service.

Why not simply make education free (or almost free)? Most of Europe has highly subsidized higher education and they manage to do it without falling apart.

Thanks, noted. Fixed now!

I would appreciate a little bit more detail here so that the article can be corrected. Could you point to which dangling parens need to be fixed?

Yes, this is definitely an option and it really should have been mentioned but given that even https://common-lisp.net/downloads recommends that one use portacle to get going quickly for newbs, it seem prudent not go too far off-track :).

It's funny, I also ended up building a custom static site generator and it was actually really simple to do so!

When I initially started googling around for custom static site generators, I could not find much content so I just wrote a quick post on it: https://smalldata.tech/blog/2018/08/16/building-a-simple-sta...

Hmm, seems like I am somewhere in the middle - my blog is run on a custom static site generator and I have around 50 blog posts, which are mostly technical how-to content, including of course one on writing your own static site generator :)

Hear hear - they get my vote for citizenship as well.

Thanks for the appreciation - I essentially wrote it for myself because I had the same issue every time I had to deal with a Dockerfile :)

I really enjoyed your setup to the question and it did really make me think about issue management in deeper detail.

I think that one of the points that you raise is quite valid - that issue tracking should really be integrated into version control.

Looks nice! Congrats on shipping!

One thing that irked me was the lack of a back functionality. You could use a hash router and just make pages for the categories so one could easily go back to the home page :)

Entr is amazing - I'm using it in my go projects to hot reload when developing!

Honestly, I'm a real proponent of keeping a clean digital life. I practice 0 inbox, aggressively delete old documents, photos on a regular basis. If I haven't touched anything in a few years, the chances that I'm going to need it later on down the line are slim and so off they go.

Important documents like tax info etc, are obviously kept for the minimum legal period but then again they don't take up all that much space.

I've been doing this for around 10 years now and so far I have not had any problems with missing old stuff, _touchwood_.

Long story short, just delete stuff you don't need altogether, makes backups a breeze and frees you from worrying about hackers exposing your musings from when you were a teenager :)

The issue with local search is that you anyways end up doing search on the server when on mobile or when you are not on your home computer. But yes, definitely useful. I personally do 0 inbox so I hardly have anything to search, heh.

Regarding the submit to HN button: if the article has already been posted, HN will itself just link you to it rather than make a new submission. So it is a bit of an intelligent hack where it piggybacks on HN's own code, hope that assuages you :)

There is actually a "Design outside-in, develop inside-out" theory that I found illustrated once in an HN comment. It rang so many bells for me that I tried to write it out[1] so that I could understand it better.

Nice! I settled on Goatcounter. It is rather new so even UBlock does not have it built in!
