For personal blog: 11ty + travis ci + github pages.

Its easy way to write and publish content.

Just checkout git repo, write posts with your favourite editor and push changes to github - thats all.

Previously, I've being using Wordpress and Ghost. Both were real nigtmare to manage.

My biggest painpint with mbpro 15 2018 is double keystroke problem. Just driving me nuts. Apart from that, I would never change mbpro for any other machine.

Google One 8 years ago

I think that microsoft did really good job with their Office 365 home package.

Each of the 6 accounts gets: - 1TB for OneDrive - Office licence - 60mins for Skype - 50GB for Outlook

Initially I wanted to go with the Google Drive because I'm using Android, but after trying android and mac one drive clients i decided to go with one drive.

In depth technical books, like for example[1], are very rare these days. Competent people are busy building systems, frameworks and making money. Some of these guys are talking on various conferences, but IMO just to present themselves to various companies. To put it simply they are mostly in a business of selling their time.

Systematic approach of learning particular topic through the books is deprecated these days. One of the ways to expand knowledge would be building stuff. If you are into distributed systems, implement something small and build upon that (i.e. implement raft[2] or build distributed rate limiter). There will be many problems and I'm sure you will learn a lot along the way.

I completely understand you, because I'm in the same boat. It's hard to tell what is the right approach. I think that people should be tested. I'm still afraid to do that because I'm 31 years old and already started to experience some symptoms.

Yes, it's not easy decision but if you are not tested you can ruin life of your partner. It's better to prevent passing this terrible disease to your children.

Anyhow, 23andMe cannot tell you whether you have HD or not because they don't have sequences for that.

Have you considered using ghost blog? There are some free themes out there: http://marketplace.ghost.org/themes/free/

Personally, I've migrated my blog from WordPress to Ghost and never looked back. Ghost is very lightweight when you compare it to WordPress and it's free. If you like simplicity you should try it out.

It has support for markdown syntax and all of your posts are stored inside single file (SQL-lite db).

Like @awzurn already explained, in the absence cookies one would need to to pass token through the URL (Signed URL).

Ideally, that token would contain only permission to download that specific file for certain period of time. That said, one additional filter would have to be implemented to look for token in the URL.

I believe that Amazon S3 is doing the same with signing URL requests for file download (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Developer... and http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentic...)
