Hah, well, wouldn't have expected to see this on Hacker News all these years later. This got folded up into GTK+ years back as the GTK Inspector, so we dropped further development on it. They could do more with this being part of GTK+

Someone got mine (298387 -- I'll never forget) through a security flaw that they temporarily had. The attacker tried selling it back to me for $1000. Loved the low number, but didn't use it anymore outside of testing Gaim (used to

I actually got in trouble more for leaving a Kindle and a game system in a bag on my last trip than on the previous trip when I accidentally had a utility knife in my bag's pocket. I was sure I was about to be detained for the knife, b

Not to hijack the thread too much (I'm also very curious about the answer -- I'm one of the Review Board founders and these discussions always interest me), but we support TFS these days in Review Board by way of our Power Pack

Along the lines of reading HackerNews, read TheDailyWTF.com on occasion. It's fun and entertaining, but that's not why I'm recommending it. A lot of the bad code, bad error messages, bad designs, etc. were not necessarily don

Back when Palm was up for sale, I was hoping beyond hope that Facebook would take an interest in getting into the hardware business (this is back when they were pushing for Facebook-specific app development more), decide to buy a phone manu

MSNP was a neat little protocol. Messages were sent as mime messages. They did have a max message size, but the official client would ignore any headers it didn't know about and any mimetypes it wasn't expecting. This gave third-p

They tried for many years to get us to change the name, but it never came down to any real legal battles of any sort. The name change occurred after I left the project, but I think it was a conscious choice on the project's end to fina

If you can tie the shield into KBFS, that's even better. It's not enough to protect a company from attacks, though. People may still click that random document coming in via e-mail that claims to be from a co-worker. A mandatory t

A team-based 1Password-type service would also be interesting, particularly one allowing heavy use of 2-factor authentication with something like a Yubikey.

AST-assisted diffing is something we've looked into for Review Board, and it's something we'll probably add at some point. There's certainly some benefit to doing it. However, you don't need it for the case of &quot

I'll try to give a bit of an overview to help answer the first three questions. In Notion, all your documents are basically a big nested hierarchy of pages. Pages (generally) exist within another page, rather than simply being linked t

Another happy customer here. We started off with Hackpad and used that for years, and tried moving to Dropbox Paper when Hackpad was end-of-lifed. While a good product, it wasn't really good enough for what we needed. We were using H

I'm pretty sure I've seen it at least 10 times now. I may have a problem. That said, it helped me get through a (terrible) US Government class back in college. There's a surprising amount of useful information in that series.

I've heard this sentiment with 3D Touch and Siri before. I'm probably an outlier, but I use each about a dozen times or so a day. 3D Touch is one of the reasons I upgraded to the 6S. Lack of 3D Touch was the one thing that disappo

I see these mentioned a lot, and sci-fi is big on the latter. The one I rarely see come up is "entertainment." If we were traveling amongst the stars today, with our values and morality as they currently are, and happened upon a w

Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback! It's always great to hear about use cases and what people need. Helps us shape things. Something that's been core to our product's philosophy for a long time is to be extensible and to f

Oh I should be clear (misunderstood that extension). We're adding support for using Review Board as an OAuth2 provider, not to use another service for auth, so that services can better integrate into your server without having to share

by chipx86 11y ago
Sounds cool :) I'd love to hear more about your setup if you'd be up to talk about it further (christian@beanbaginc.com). Native support for OAuth2 is planned to land in 3.0 as well. We're focusing a lot on improvements for t

Hi, Review Board founder here. Let me address these real quick. 1) This has come up before. We'll probably add it. Most places that ask for it really are wanting something like an auth backend that ties into another service, like LDAP&

My MacBook Pro is from 2012, but I have 16GB of RAM in it. I regularly have something like 10 windows with about 15 or so tabs in each. It can get bogged down at times, but generally works fine. Chrome wants RAM, so I think that's the

Player wasn't crippled. It just served a different purpose. It was never meant to be on the same level as VirtualBox or anything, and existed to be a simple "run this VM" application.

VMware definitely mentally categorizes Horizon and such to be EUC, but Workstation and Fusion were as much EUC as anything else. It started as the division to own both View and Workstation/Fusion.

If you mean VMware Server, the GSX replacement, and not the ESX products, then oh boy do I have stories to tell :) I was one of the, hmm, 5 or 6 people who threw that together in a span of months. It was more of a mess than it appeared, und

Hmm, I don't think management really ever forbid us from doing anything. I'll have to think about that, but that's not my recollection. It's more that we had a lot of customers in different segments wanting different thi

Thanks for the compliments! Installation difficulty seems to very much depend on the environment. On many systems, it's trivial. A couple commands, and you're good to go. On others, it's far more difficult. I'd love to h
