For anyone reading this who desperately needs their website up, you can try this: If you manage to get to your Cloudflare DNS settings and disable the "Proxy status (Proxied)" feature (the orange cloud), it should start working again.

Be aware that this change has a few immediate implications:

- SSL/TLS: You will likely lose your Cloudflare-provided SSL certificate. Your site will only work if your origin server has its own valid certificate.

- Security & Performance: You will lose the performance benefits (caching, minification, global edge network) and security protections (DDoS mitigation, WAF) that Cloudflare provides.

I would love if their customer service was so fast. They keep ghosting us for 7 days. Poking the on a live chat results in "hey we'll look at this".

Truly loving the service but we had to "unproxy" our website. When it works, it brings so much value. I'm guessing our issue isn't trivial to solve though.

The last one is indeed the golden one. When I feel that my eyes are sealed or I feel a lot of friction I use my fingers to help open my eyes. After that I put some eye drops in.

What is very interesting that there is a certain set of actions that you can take and the ones that helped you, didn't help me (diet - I've been eating healthy for a long time, air humidity - we use air humidifier for a long time too), but the ones that were great for me (eye hygiene) didn't help you.

I had phototherapeutic keratectomy which indeed helped me stabilize the situation, but didn't clear the symptoms 100%. I still have occasional erosions, which are much less severe and last way shorter than previous ones (minutes and not days). But I'm not sure if it is because of PTK itself or because of extra care that I give to my eyes daily.

As someone who suffers from recurrent corneal erosion (scratches on cornea, that are painful as hell) I incorporated a set of steps to manage this condition.

1. Daily eyelid hygiene - using special wipes to get the leftover from your eyelashes, to unblock Meibomian glands. It can dramatically improve how your eye is moistened. People who suffer from dry eye syndrome should at least try it.

2. Using eye drops daily - whenever I see them or I need them.

3. (Something that is specific to recurrent corneal erosion). I put some ointment/gel when I go to bed. As most of recurrent corneal erosion events happen during the night, it is crucial to be protected when you sleep.

Yes and no. In my opinion Elixir/Phoenix can make you and your team productive from day 1. Phoenix is well designed (apart from few naming quirks and inconsistencies, but hey, which eco system doesn't have them) and Elixir is mature enough. Few years ago there was a problem with 3rd party libraries which were hobby projects, but never turned into proper OSS and were just abandoned - e.g. User Management library called Addict (https://github.com/trenpixster/addict). IMHO the community got much more mature now, so the problem is less apparent.

The argument for no, is the shortage of Elixir developers. I have a feeling that while it's easy to find node/java/c# devs - it is remarkably hard to find good Elixir developers.

I became much happier once I realized that I'm not an athlete and I don't need to have a goal of "I want to lift x amount one day". This has been freeing for me. I started focusing more and more on fixing certain parts of the body (like tightness of pecs, weak glutes, weak transverse abdominis etc - 99% of the people at the gym has it, but they are not aware of it).

So I really think if you are an athlete/ex-athlete and you really know how to train - go for it. My main goal was not to have a back pain ever again.

Very informative writeup! I'm curious if there is a way to see which devices have been affected by these exploits.

After reading the disclosure policy, this vulnerability must have been fixed already. I'm guessing this has been fixed in iOS 12.4 or even before?

DuckDuckGo Traffic 8 years ago

I'm really amazed by the adoption of DDG by HN crowd. It's totally unusable for me. I can barely find stuff and I have to resort to google in 95% of cases. Do I have to relearn how to goo.. scratch that, duck duck go stuff?

For me the biggest reason not to use Safari was that I couldn't paste screen snippets or images from a clipboard (e.g. Web Whatsapp etc). But after your comment I tried and they seem to have implemented it. Maybe even in Safari 12.

They are constantly trying to sell subscriptions to O365 and One Drive.

There is exactly the same argument against Apple trying to sell iCloud.

WRT ads in MacOS Skype. I can't seem to find them (I am not a seasoned Skype user though). Is it Windows+Skype specific?

There obviously is a link between the span of eating and your weight. But it's not as big, when you eat large quantities of food.

If we are talking about obesity it means that it took years to put someone in that state. Eating 300-500 of unhealthy kcal less, by decreasing the eating span just delays the problem.

I do agree though, that the shorter eating span the better. It's called intermittent fasting and there are promising results coming out from research on that.
