Another one in the same vein, albeit implemented and presented quite differently: http://wttr.in/paris (Posted most recently last week, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11494799 )

The "GPS 2.0" label used in the article is a bit of a misnomer I think, and possibly just something the author came up with. There is no radically new satellite navigation system described, just some rather superficial mentions of

It's reminiscent of NDC 2012 (Norwegian Developer Conference), where also the event planning contractor arranged similar 'entertainment' (although more awkward than offensive, really), and Microsoft apologized afterwards [1].

Did you mean XPS13? I think it would be on par performance- and weight-wise with X1C. XPS15 is _significantly_ bulkier, but in return you get the i7 6700HQ (quad core). I believe the MBPs use the HQ CPUs as well, so we are talking a slightl

I had ICL* surgery instead of LASIK, because the cornea was too thin. It has worked very well so far: I do get halos, but haven't had any other complications. The implants can also be removed or replaced. * Implantable Contact Lens, fr

For Europeans wanting to try it, check out Joylent[1] as well, a Soylent fork based in Netherlands. They do a few different tastes too (vanilla, strawberry, banana, chocolate and soon mango). [1] https://joylent.eu

Looks phenomenal. Hopefully this means quadcore Broadwell (announced yesterday[1]), Nvidia 9xxM and USB C, in a ~14" frame, while keeping most of the good stuff from the current gen XPS15. Perhaps even 32GB RAM? Alas, getting one with

There's also Racer[1] (semantic completion engine), and it sounds like Valloric is open to making it work with YouCompleteMe [2]. [1] https://github.com/phildawes/racer [2] https://github.com/Vallo

Lenovo's bluetooth keyboard [1] is quite nice if you've gotten used to a pointing stick and want it on your desktop as well. It's fairly expensive (~80 USD), but it's one of the better chiclet-style keyboards I've t

It seems to be a "business" thing, almost all the non-ultrabook laptops I see at work (typically the Precision, Elitebook etc) have a Trackpoint variant. My aging Acer Travelmate has one, but unfortunately it has no middle-button,

It took many years before I realized and tried it, but Cygwin also very easily lets you run an OpenSSH server on Windows, which I find incredibly useful.

by MrUnderhill 12y ago
I have the impression that many OpenSSH users are unaware of its OpenBSD relationship, and so perhaps less likely to take note of the fundraisers. If it hadn't been for the extra publicity last year, I'd probably still not know. S

Trac is very different from Fossil though: Fossil is version control software with "embedded" wiki and issue tracker, while Trac is a wiki and issue tracker which can, optionally, interface with one or more external vcs systems. F

I was wondering about Flattr as well. You can connect your account to Github, and the owners of repos that you star will be "flattred". I've done this a few times, some that haven't been claimed yet too - I admit it neve

I was wondering about this too. My thinking was, if a user's laptop is compromised (and has the exploit in LC_TIME, TERM or similar), and the user then SSH in to a server with exploitable bash, the nefarious command will presumably be

The similar K810 works brilliantly in Linux. Mario Scholz has written a small tool to switch between media and function keys[1], I wouldn't be surprised if it works for K840 too. [1] http://www.trial-n-error.de/posts&#x

You have too high thoughts of my kvms :) It's a Blackbox KVMoE system which seemingly only understands standard USB keyboard/mouse. I guess it depends on the USB stack in the actual switches. I will have to try with a pre-paired U

Any idea if the opposite exists: a dongle that appears to the host as a USB keyboard/mouse, but actually pairs with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse? That way you could use a bluetooth keyboard with dumb KVM switches (or other USB host

I may be mistaken about the battery time, so don't take my word for it. The Logitech site says about 10 days with backlight on (12 months(!) without it)[1]. And while I get the Ubuntu keyboard battery warning after 3-4 days, there stil

The battery time is probably my biggest gripe with it as well. I keep the backlight continuously on at the lowest setting (it turns off when inactive), and I think I get around 3-4 days of heavy usage (note: ballpark estimate!). The battery

I've been using the K810 [1] for some time for all my computers. I find it absolutely brilliant to type on (being mostly in vim, the awkward home/end, page up/down, arrows etc don't matter very much), and it also has the

In a similar vein, there's also http://hdmipi.com/ It would be brilliant if tablets (or even laptops) had a HDMI/DP input and a "dumb screen" mode.

This, and the last picture in the article, reminded me of some motorcycle shoes I own with Boa laces[1]. I have limited movement in my joints, so some mornings tying regular laces can be a hassle. [1] http://www.boatechnology.com

It's no problem to run an X server in the container and use VNC/X client/openssh to access it from your machine. See for example this blog post: http://blog.docker.io/2013/07/docker-desktop-your-desk
