can in-app webviews also require a specific browser, or will they always run on webkit? would this make it possible to write a native app with some wasm components?


the average londoner doesn't pay 5600 GBP a month for their flat. same goes for 5k USD ~= 4200.

for a one bedroom if your rent is above 2000 GBP you're living in a luxury apartment


The average londoner doesn't live in central London.


even within zone 1, the average definitely isn't 4200 GBP


backblaze will silently sync up files, and it also backs up any external devices that you plug into your computer


And then after 4 years of backing up (and paying) you find out that BackBlaze silently changed their password requirements and you can no longer log in. Happened to me, lost 2 TB of backed family photos. Their response: "you remember your password wrong". Fortunately I had backups on secondary external drives as well.


you forgot your password or your password was correct but it stopped working because they changed the requirement?


My password was correct but included accented characters. They changed the acceptable characters silently in their clients sometime later. After my backing machine finally crashed I was not able to log in again. Unfortunately the support guys were not able to do anything about it.

The desktop app will let you scan QR codes that appear on screen. When 2FA fields show up, the password autofill shortcut (cmd + \ is the default I think) will automatically populate them.


Open Data portals powered by OpenDataSoft let you see/sort/filter/visualize data in your browser. You can access the data via API (including sorting/filtering) or download static files (CSV/JSON/XLS etc.).

I haven't seen many other platforms offer the same kind of functionality.

e.g This one is a dataset of CCTVs across Leicester. You can easily see all of the columns, sort data around, display a chart of camera types, see their location on a map etc.

I'm using YNAB while manually inputting each transaction, rather than having it linked with my accounts. It might sound like a hassle at first but it's just a reflex now, whenever I buy something I just enter it in there. At the end of each week I'll open up my bank app and compare what is in there against what I have in YNAB and this flow has been fine for me. I had tried a few other apps before but I couldn't stick to any of them, the idea of budgeting upfront and then adjusting as purchases are done, moving money from one category to another, really clicks for me.

It works great and has drastically changed the way I spend money since I've started using it, I'm much more aware of what I can actually spend and less stressed. The reporting features are also great to see how much I spend on average on a given month etc.

Pricing has gotten a bit steep for new members but I still think it's really worth it, it's the most useful service I'm subscribed to. Some of Android app recent UI changes were a bit questionable but I got used to them.


I'm trying YNAB as well. Support was superb giving me a longer period for trying it, since its kinda expensive for me. The web version is great - the Android is meh but ok for saving transactions.



Not totally true because:

> WIN32 (only one that uses electron)

which happens to be the version most people use.


They have a new Chrome extension, 1Password X (Beta) which works as standalone. Only downside is it's only available for Chrome at the moment.

That's great, thank you!

Issues I faced immediately after installing it:

* Entering username/password and choosing the "Save in 1Password" option complains about not being able to reach server.

* Clicking on the extension icon and choosing New Item only shows a spinning wheel.

I'll try again when it's officially released but thanks again.

EDIT: Sent an email to their support detailing the issues.


Their 1Password X is excellent. I've been using it on a chromebook for a few months now. Chromebook does run linux, so it should work for you too.

I think it's basically the ideal place for 1Password to be running. It's hard for malware authors to infect the chromebook with stuff like keyloggers etc. I bought the chromebook for the sole purpose of managing financial transactions -- accessing investment/bank websites etc.


I've been testing their beta version for Firefox and it looks really good. I would expect it to come out soon.

Not going to defend Eurostar because I think their pricing is a joke but if you book some time in advance (I'd say at least 2 weeks beforehand), it would be between 140-180£ for a return trip. That's for a peak time trip, leaving London on a Friday at 6pm and coming back from Paris on a Sunday at 6pm.

The £29 one way tickets do go really quickly yes.


With a train what is limiting the number of tickets. I mean adding another passenger cartridge can't be that expensive..

Is it security and border control that slows things down?


Yeah, you can’t just couple more carriages on to a train. The e320 trains are already sixteen cars; extending this means that platforms and signalling systems have to be modified to deal with longer trains, which can be phenomenally expensive. And more traction power needs to be available, which means you will required a motored car.

It’s more complex than sticking carriages together!


it's meant to be used within teams, with people who might not have the same editor (or the same set of plugins) as you

you just drop an .editorconfig at the root of your project and you'll know for sure that any code written by anyone will have the same indentation, encoding, and final newline config


The other useful case is when you open project on another machine for some reason and you find your usual editor not installed and configured. Open any editor and away you go with this, for those quick dirty edits. I require all editors installed to be able to read .editorconfig files and use them accordingly.


Is that widely implemented enough to be useful? Because I'm literally seeing this for the first time today.
