Ditto! (Edit: Especially given it's something you strap to your face. I'm excited about AR and VR but not really sure whether my vision/migraines will make me a candidate :|)

Because anyone who ever says "I didn't think it was possible that I could be the victim of a data breach" is dangerously delusional, and in case I'm not being clear - wrong. Also putting keys in (even a private) cloud-

I've been waiting to see some educated thought on this but it's been pretty absent from the coverage I've seen. Specifically also, I'm curious to understand how not deleting information people apparently paid to have del

Total tangent but the color cells reminded me of Fair Isle knitting, in which some of the most colorful knitted sweaters you've likely seen are done using only two colors on any given row. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

"I regularly saw people bring their laptops into the bathroom, where they would sit on the toilet and write code" I would need some corroboration in order to believe this bit. The rest of the behavior listed I've sadly seen i

That's badass. I wondered about whether the machine would need constant calibration due to the belts slipping or hopping a gear, etc. I really dig solutions to problems like this.. I'm not sure how I'd categorize them, I sup

Loads of attention is an understatement. The book was literally #1 on ALL of Amazon books in the US for quite a while [1]. The press worked on me. I picked one up after reading an article because a few months prior I'd found myself on

Let's be fair, the product is designed to specifically not do that: "Echo uses on-device keyword spotting to detect the wake word. When Echo detects the wake word, it lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where we leverage

Yvon's book Let My People Go Surfing [1] is absolutely one of my favorite business books, and it gives quite a bit of color and insight into how he thinks about their business and the culture that they've built there. EDIT: Anothe

The flip-side to that argument is that being honest about your intentions keeps you honest about your ability to deliver value. If I say I'm thinking about leaving and the company doesn't struggle to sort out how to make things wo

Zach works in the Bay and did a long stint at Github. "Average" in either of those contexts is severely graded on the curve. Average for a much larger company, or average in say.. the US, or San Diego... is saying a very different

I would be careful to note that the inverse isn't always true though. Even if none of these things attributes rings true, that doesn't mean it's not a good idea to leave. I think the decision is trickier when that's the

Interesting that the choice was to cut these an inch square but title it 2.5cm. Okay, I take it back. That isn't particularly interesting. Still.

I don't know if that's what they're trying to say but that's absolutely true, provided you're diligent, curious, and someone who does well with self-directed learning.

Yes please. One of the thing that annoys me about these notices is that they all recommend that we turn on 2FA, when the fucking root cause was that THEY DIDN'T.

Got my Pi 2 recently, and it's awesome how much snappier it runs. I've only used them to spin up game console emulator appliances so far. Would love to hear about projects among the HN crowd. I'd really like to use one for so

Haha, no worries! I've been checked out of Java for a while and I was a little bit worried that this was semantically meaningful, which would be a pretty confusing addition to the language :)

The performance section of the spec[1] does a pretty good job explaining how the implementation remains fast. In Redis Cluster nodes don't proxy commands to the right node in charge for a given key, but instead they redirect

I wonder how open they are (they do say open to hobbyists). I'd really like to whip up a RaspberryPi box with buttons for things I actually reorder (instead of depending on particular brand partnerships).

Agreed, but I would give up the micro-locations of having all these buttons throughout my house for a single panel with a half dozen or 10 buttons which are configurable for products I actually re-order pretty regularly (coffee filters, etc

Ah! I've been building out a couple raspberry pi console-emulators and settled on using some original SNES controllers along with the buffalo USB clones of them. In the process I dug out my childhood N64 as well, and I put it in the &q
