Hope Splunk loses. Trying to kill a good player that makes Splunk less expensive.

The border is often a lawless section of most countries - specially the US.

People can get detained, deported and humiliated for no reason and with no resource. Specially foreigners trying to go through.

New comment by rmdoss in "Ask HN: How to deal with children's online habits?"

rmdoss — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 01:45:26 +0000

So hard to balance both.

For my young kids ( under 10 ), I am very strict on what they can see and do online. Screen time, CleanBrowsing, and app restrictions enabled.

For my teenager, it is a bit different. More conversation, more privacy and more spending time teaching her about computers, security, privacy, etc. She chose to install CleanBrowsing, an ad blocker, all on her own to protect herself.

Good luck!

As a long time Firefox user, my main issue with Firefox is Mozilla itself and their focus shifting to VPNs, pocket and things non browser related.

But still love Firefox.

New comment by rmdoss in "Ask HN: What do you code when learning a new language/framework?"

rmdoss — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 06:33:25 +0000

It depends on the reason to learn a new language. Once you know a few languages, you generally only learn a new one if you are trying to solve a specific problem that it can do better.

What I try is to solve a small piece of the problem I am trying to solve to get more familiar with it before committing.
