I just got hedgedoc (nee codimd, nee hackmd [1]) setup for my own purposes. It does have the advantage of splitscreen edit/preview, and it has the option to use vim/emacs keybinds in the editor, but if I'd had stashpad, I probably would not have bothered setting up a selfhost hedgedoc.

For offline access, you just need to configure that once with the CIDR of your local network(s), and then the next time you're offline the server will allow auth-less use: you'll still be you, but the server itself won't attempt to authenticate you through the internet.

Settings -> <server name> -> Network -> Show Advanced -> List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth

You can also toggle off some of the extra crap they are pushing:

Settings -> <your username> -> Online Media Sources

    Small (400B, 11 keys, 3 layers)
    Medium (13KB, 300+ key, 6 layers)
    Large (635KB, 10000+ key, 6 layers)

I would be so happy to work somewhere where a 0.000635 GB json file is "large".

> FFF #176 - Belts optimization

The last bit of this post mentions UDP packets not making it through ISPs if their checksum is 0x0000 or 0xFFFF...what is THAT all about? This would have been in February of 2017.

> If you remember from the previous FFF, our map downloader was having some extremely rare problems with some mysterious packets that would always get filtered over the Internet. We already had a fix for it, but I was curious what was going on. Thanks to the investigative power of the Factorio community, we found out that all those mysterious packets, before NAT, had a checksum of 0xFFFF. Admalledd from the forum sent some hand-crafted packets through his Internet connection and surprise, all packets would go through, except those with a checksum of 0xFFFF or 0x0000. At this point I would just assume this ISP(and some other few ISPs around the world) have some faulty hardware or software that do not handle these special cases of UDP checksums.

I would love to exchange browser state with my coworkers and act as them for a few hours. I think I could really clean up our ticketing system if I was logged in as someone who could outright delete tickets instead of merely marking them as closed.

You just blew my mind. Thank you!

I can't believe the things I find out from random HN comments.

Thanks for this, I have problems finding good developer podcasts, and at a quick glance of title + count, this looks promising.

Also...the podcast is more than eight years old!

> For those, I mostly use "jq ." to get all leaves on a single line and then feed the output to standard unix tools like grep cut awk and friends.

There's a tool called `gron` designed for workflows like this, I've found it incredibly useful.

There are only five Lagrange points, so L-6 and above are not Lagrange points. :-)

If you're into podcasting, give ATP[1] a shot: John is one of the three hosts. The other hosts are Casey Liss and Marco Arment (developer of Overcast).

John also has some other podcasts like Robot or Not[2] and Reconcilable Differences[3], but ATP is by far my personal favorite.

Just to be clear, those containers are only a barricade against falling rocks while the road is still open. If the ridge does let go, those barricades are going to do exactly nothing.

I don't know about "high", but there's at least two new things happening that jump out:

* staggered start, the engines are started in pairs on the order of 100s milliseconds apart, so 13 chances for an unbalanced engine start

* vastly increased acoustic and vibration shock, I really wish I could hear the noise in person (from a long way away)

There's still hope that they will make their first static test fire in December, though! This will be their first time lighting all 27 engines, so it could be very exciting.

A FH static fire can only be done on the pad: there is no test stand big enough to do it.

> Recently, I added a webhook that takes all our GitLab pushes and parses out JIRA information and automatically handles that sort of business-level logic

Have you found a good solution for auto-linking to JIRA tickets from GitLab comments/commits/etc without turning on the the included JIRA Integration? I want to continue using Gitlab's native issues, and the included JIRA integration replaces the native Gitlab issues with JIRA tickets, which is such a colossally boneheaded idea.

Funny transcription error with the professional Go player names from the DeepMind series:

> So it’s been interesting watching the reactions of the top Go players, like Lisa Doll and KGA

These should be Lee Sedol and Ke Jie

edit: Odd that it's correct two paragraphs later

Michael Redmond and Andrew Jackson talked briefly about historical team games while the game was getting underway:

There are other points in the commentary where they discuss some of the team's strategy, as well as their time management.

The landing is all based on how much fuel is left after the primary mission is complete: some missions require more fuel to get to their destination orbits, others require less.

This launch was an ISS resupply, which is on the low end of fuel requirements. So the first stage can get all the way back to its launch site.

Other launches are in the middle of the fuel range: they just follow their ballistic path to the barge, and do not have the extra fuel to get turned all the way back around for a return to the launch site.

A few launches are at the very high end: the upcoming Echostar mission has such a high fuel requirement that SpaceX isn't even attempting a landing: they're just dumping the whole stage into the ocean like we've been doing for 60 years.

SpaceX is saying that this upcoming Echostar launch will be their last "expendable launch", ever.
