I've been looking for something like this. What did you write it in?


It's written in C#/MVC and hosted on Azure. The main intended usage (when the plug-ins for Visual Studio and IDEA are ready) is to make it easy for you to save or insert snippets that you use frequently into your code.

Other purposes are to make it easy to share snippets with other people, search for specific snippets, and embed snippets into other sites - like blogs and such.

Some of these features are not implemented yet.

Do you have other suggestions? Thoughts? Comments?


Why is that?

Can't some of this be patched at the USB driver level in the OS? A storage device shouldn't be acting like a keyboard, etc.


That's not how this works.

The device acts like a USB hub which happens to mount both a keyboard and a USB drive.

So unless you ban all USB hubs then this isn't workable.


Banning USB hubs isn't really workable either. Any keyboard which has USB slots would be blocked, for instance.


I don't know if the current drivers would allow that normally. However they would allow it if you created a fake hub to route through. No way to know if there is a real hub or a fake one between the USB drive/keyboard and the computer.


No, no, no. Don't work for free. Apprentices don't work for free in any other industry. Why should you work for free?

Go out and get a job that trains you to be "production ready." You will get to to work on bigger projects, "code, refactor", and do "grunt work". Plus you will get paid.

Nothing wrong with seeking an apprenticeship. I just don't understand why you would think that "free" is a good idea.


Good advice, I know. It just feels doubly hard for me to get coding work now, because my day-job is in writing and not very technical. I suppose I envisioned it being paid eventually, when I got to the point where I was productive, but you're right: I have to value my work first before other people will, right?


This. All these companies running "apprenticeships" (nice marketing, bros) are no better than the jerk off corporations running internships without pay. If you want to work for free, do it for yourself and create some side projects, at least you will own those at the end of the day.


Luckily, none of these people vote.


I'm a millennial and I vote. Am I not supposed to?


I call in an NPD: No people day. Need one after being with people all week.


The title did get changed. I think the reason it was titled "after 3d printing" was because you can make a prototype with 3d printing, but what do you do when you want to go to production?


Someone should market bitcoin to women. From a cursory review of that list of names, women don't seem to be signing up. Missing half the market...


Some members of the Bitcoin community have... some work to do in making women feel welcome. An illustrative blog post by a woman that went to a meetup:

“Well,” he says looking at me knowingly, “Women don’t usually think in terms of efficiency and effectiveness”.


ugh. that's so horrible.


Dogecoin is doing better on this score, although there's still a long way to go to hit 50:50


Women don't gamble as much as men do, so, good luck with that!


I don't think that's the same thing. If Microsoft came out with a newer version of silverlight, you'd expect it to keep reading the old files.

The fact they canceled silverlight and won't make a new version, doesn't have much to do with backwards compatibility.
