Do any of you guys know how I can downvote posts or let Medium know that I'm not interested in having articles like x on my feed?


Hey, I just wanted to say that this project looks really interesting and useful! This may be the solution to a sticky problem I've been having where a teammate of mine can't get his dev env setup for some reason (Docker isn't really an option IMO).


Glad to hear it! If there are any issues/missing features you encounter while using it please let me know!


I'm not sure I disagree with Pocket being a moot acquisition, but I definitely use it almost daily and it being integrated into Firefox is really nice.


I use Firefox Focus on my phone for most of my casual browsing. It launches and loads pages much faster than Firefox does. For some reason, Firefox insists on stalling for a few seconds before starting to load the web page whereas Focus does it instantly. I only use Firefox when I need session management.

I hope Firefox 58 improves the situation.

Don't worry about making your personal site the first result. Having your name spread out across multiple sites can help give searchers a more wholistic view of who are and what you have done in the past that makes you stand out.

Here's what I did: I negotiated with my parents before I was born to give me a unique name.

I made a github profile with lots of projects.

I wrote a short crappy book for Amazon Kindle.

I was involved with a local organization's student opensource initiative (like a small Google summer of code) and they have me mentioned in various articles.

I made a LinkedIn profile.

I made a youtube channel from when I was a kid in 2008 and have many videos.

I wrote a piece of fan fiction way back when.

I probably should add my name to my various personal project sites...

Yeah, this is really helpful for SEO, so if you haven't done this yet for your personal site, go do that!


It isn't needed


I spotted sudo in the last line of the Readme.


Oh, I thought you were talking about running the program. That entire line is for the purpose of removing everything in the current directory except the source files, such as the 'repositories' folder (which is where the program stores downloaded repositories by default) for cleanup purposes.

As for why sudo is there, whenever the download directory for the repositories is rm'd for cleanup, I get a confirmation prompts for each subdirectory:

rm -r repositories/ rm: descend into write-protected directory 'repositories/'? y rm: descend into write-protected directory 'repositories/calculator' ...

So I just use sudo to skip said prompts and documented it.


It is very unlikely that any of this needs elevated privileges. What is the ownership and permission of the directories you can’t remove?

Edit: rm -rf instead of sudo rm -r should work


Hey, thanks man! I'll update the README


Another neat way IMO is to provide a Makefile with a clean target.


They wouldn't be using Bitcoin, they'd use Monero.


I'm honestly still bitter about the fact that Spotify is not supported in Jamaica. Thank God for Deezer.


For me, it's this HN clone I started working on the other day: https://ng-hackernews.lukecs.com/

The advantages of using it include:

1. No need to open a new tab just to view comments 2. It loads a lot more stories at once than HN does, so you don't need to keep going to the next page
