Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked as a guide to using a YubiKey as a smartcard for GPG and SSH. The comments are bare links to other guides and discussions on the same topic, with no judgement of this post.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I use the Chrome and Firefox docker-selenium containers in Testcontainers [1][2], my project for running containers to support JUnit tests. I created this after numerous issues with PhantomJS compatibility and debuggability; Testcontainers instead uses the real browsers, and also offers automatic video recording of test sessions and VNC access for debugging. Headless chrome support sounds like a good step forward, b…

I recently bought a Neo to test out NFC (NFC support on the HTC 10 seems deplorable for smart card reading btw). I also purchased a few 4c tokens and so far they've worked great although I haven't been using them for very long. The gotchas I've encountered while using them on…

HN discussionDeveloper here! This library arose out of frustration with running Java tests that had some kind of non-Java dependencies - e.g. databases and web browsers for UI testing. Testcontainers lets you add Docker containers to your tests, linked to the lifecycle of the test rather than having to be externally managed from the outside. I've found it useful, and hope others do too. A few blog posts outline some of the ways…
