In theory I've set it up but I always just get "invalid credentials" when logging in. Anyone else seeing this?

With the rise in remote working and the digital nomad lifestyle, what are your tricks for coping with unreliable Internet?

A couple I've come across: - Visual Studio has a Help Viewer that allows you to download offline versions of the docs - There are various ways to get offline backups of stack overflow (e.g. Stacked off)

Trying to keep up to date with the latest on such a rapidly changing topic is really hard without wading through a ton of information. With that in mind, does anyone have any recommendations for a way to see the UK coronavirus headlines from the command line?

I'm looking for ways to create a screen cast on a windows 10 tablet that will display when I do things such as tap and pinch. Preferably this wouldn't involve switching out of "S Mode" (limited to windows store apps).

Does anyone have any recommendations for third party software where I could combine data from things like Garmin Connect and MyFitnessPal? I'm looking for something that will give me better/more configurable ways to view data and maybe even something that offers some data analysis.

An example that isn't quite what I'm looking for is Runalyze. Runalyze lets you import Garmin or Polar (etc) data and offers a lot of extra analysis, e.g. TRIMP and fatigue. The problem is, as the name suggests, it is heavily focused on running and doesn't support other activities as well. It also doesn't have anything for calorie tracking.

I used to go to NorDevCon when I lived in East Anglia. Now I've moved to North Wales I'm on the hunt for some good developers conferences in North Wales or the Manchester/Liverpool area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm thinking of doing some blogging on a pretty casual basis and it's got me wondering where people post their blogs.

For me, I don't think I'd be blogging frequently enough or with enough of a common theme to warrant setting up my own site. Instead, something like Medium springs to mind as an option - although I'm aware they've had some bad press recently.

So bloggers of HN, where do you put your blogs?

Does anyone here know of a control system for mobiles similar to Vi on desktops?

I'm aware that you can add vi controls to things in android, but as vi was designed for use with a real keyboard I've found myself wondering if anyone has done any innovation on input methods for mobile explicitly - one that acknowledges that actually you generally only use two thumbs and a smaller keyset

Seeing as Google's Inbox will be going away this year, I've been trying to identify an alternative webmail solution.

I know a lot of the features of Inbox are being ported to Gmail, but for me Gmail's UI is just really unpleasant to use. I want something that has Inbox's sleekness and minimalism.

After looking around though, it looks like Inbox is pretty unique, with other free services looking seriously out-dated and cluttered. Does anyone have any recommendations (other than self-hosting) of achieving an experience anything like Inbox?

I've been thinking of a lot of potential side projects recently but don't have the time to pursue them yet.

Does anyone have good recommendations for tools or methods of stashing these ideas for later? (other than just appending them to a text file)
