That sounds fun! I've been rebuilding my wife's gardens and adding drip lines / irrigation. I ended up getting an OpenSprinkerPi[1] board to control the irrigation valves I'm installing. There's also a software proj

Any clue what the holdup is for production of new Silicon Valley episodes? I just read they're not starting production of the new season until summer 2019, and it's already been a year since the last season ended.

I listen to some relatively obscure music, and Spotify never seems to have what I'm looking for, and if they do it's usually only their latest or most popular album. I switched to Apple Music over a year ago and their catalog seem

Hmm. I see your point, that it does seem like I was contriving to use the term "hack" in a situation that might lend it to a (non-nefarious) precursor of the "hacking" term in the topic at hand. But in this case it was a

Totally off-topic, but hacksaws are also a favorite tool of mine. There is something totally fascinating to me about cutting through metal - likely because metal is typically strong and difficult to break. I have very fond memories of hacki

Thanks for the reply. I figured it was, in reality, a pretty innocuous page view counter. But I also figured since your site is getting some attention on HN right now, it'd be best to make the finding public. Also, thanks for actually

I'm concerned about the HTTP requests that fire off every time I navigate to a new page. E.g. navigating to my "Thursday 10th Jan 2019" note triggers [1]. It even includes a cookie in the request. Not completely private, it w

Might make a good addition to the "Known Issues" section or somewhere else. Just somewhere to indicate all the little points of human intervention.

Knowing that my 2-year-old son will very likely not even consider participating in Facebook (when he gets to that age) is pretty refreshing. It gives me hope that in the time between now and then, we'll be able to figure out how to com

Off-topic: Googling "complex-valued pixels" didn't bring up anything, but I'm interested in finding out more about that. What pixel-related information do the real/imaginary parts represent? What sort of application

Have you looked into using Macaroons[1] at all for distributed systems? I used them for a client's multi-site intranet a while back, and it made some of the very complicated parts very simple. I'm just wondering why they never see

This is pretty much where I’m at as well, on this issue. I only wish there were social security numbers contained in the breach so that we could stop considering them as personally identifiable info.

And specifically (and overwhelmingly) males. My own experience would point anecdotally toward it as well, as the four people whom I knew personally who died by suicide were white male Americans.

Thanks for your insight. That’s pretty much what I was expecting in a web framework produced by Red Hat. (Not to completely disparage Red Hat - they do have some good stuff.) How’s the CoreOS transition going? My buddy worked for CoreOS and

This feels pretty historic, and I want to feel like things are on the right track, but I can’t shake the feeling that the world is being deceived. It’s probably just me being biased against a regime that I’ve always believed to have heinous
