I used to do that, but really missed decent audio quality. FWIW, Sony make a decent pair of sweatproof wired earphones ( https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRAS800AP-Active-Smartphone-Hea... ) which have lasted me almost a year no

It's funny -- I was the exact opposite. I got the original Pebble Kickstarter Edition, and couldn't really find much of a use for it. Having notifications on my wrist was OK, but not mindblowing. The addition of the timeline mad

Absolutely. NixOS is awesome. The lack of decent hardening by default was the only thing preventing me from using it more confidently. I'm thoroughly impressed by the many people who have worked hard to push this through. Thanks so

FWIW, I solve this problem with ~/src/work and ~/src/personal. My default, system-wide config in .gitconfig are my personal creds. In ~/src/work, I have a direnv ( http://direnv.net/ ) which co

Good news! Hardened NixOS isn't far: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12895 :). I've been watching/waiting for that for a while myself, and the progress on that ticket has been encouragin

Ah, I can understand the concern on OSX (or other Linux distros). Earlier in the chain, you wrote "Linux desktop" -- which, to me, implied using NixOS :).

How would you run Atom on a Linux desktop without X11? Honest question; I didn't think Wayland/Weston were far enough along yet...

One thing did ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/800343142/tylt-vu-pulse... ), and unfortunately Pebble just kind of screwed them over. I can't imagine there's any malice involved; integrating HR wa

That remains an anecdote, as (anecdotally) I've heard the exact opposite ;).

Mostly inertia. We're a large-ish company; I work in a remote office away from the majority of dev, and technical direction needs marketing. We ended up using Swagger, which doesn't solve as many of our problems (having documenta

"Closes: 717172 Changes: golang (2:1.1.1-4) unstable; urgency=low . * Disable stripping, it breaks go binaries on some architectures" The "fix" is that the Debian team stopped stripping the binaries ;).

Yes, I agree (and for the people I'm talking about you're absolutely right).

You're absolutely right -- it is just an anecdote :). hk__2 further down points out that these are possibly people who've never owned a computer, and that this should be viewed as a step forward -- hk__2's right! The device

It could've been the HipChat revolution. It was so close to being just that. As a user of both HipChat and Slack, however, the difference is vast. Slack had a rich API an integrations well before HipChat did; presents rich content

I'd like to second this. After trying a lot of competing tools in the music streaming space, I've come back to Apple Music's playlists and suggestions more than any other. They're very good at recommending me thing

I'm not really willing to ascribe motive; I'm sure there are plenty of technical reasons to push people to an upgrade too (like reducing support burden). But -- there's nothing like an unwanted OS upgrade (repeatedly) burning

The Windows 10 upgrade process is what finally pushed me to Linux on the desktop. As with any upgrade, I figured I'd wait a while for the dust to settle (Ars' articles on the privacy-invasive nature of Windows 10 made me a little

For a long time, I've thought the phrase we want is "strong pseudonymity".

Zonealarm back in the day did something similar, yes (I haven't used it recently so I'm not sure what it does now). Little Snitch is the OSX equivalent :).

Little Snitch ( https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html ) is excellent.

I've seen this with a local airline, but in their case I believe it's due to the relative scarcity of seats on a flight. If I start the processing purchase, I can see prices go up in another tab. If I finish the process (purchasi

That depends on your configuration. LastPass supports per-device exceptions, so that you can allow login from devices without USB ports. I'd suggest checking for the device settings in your LastPass vault; mine are reasonably restric

As a regular visitor from Auckland, I've wondered about that. Auckland's similarly mired in political crap, but at least Melbourne has an otherwise-functional train/tram network. It'd be a lot nicer taking a train than

That's a pity. I've had the opposite experience with FitBit's support, including free shipping of replacement bits to New Zealand. I was somewhat blown away by the quality of their support. With that said, I've become

My old Nexus 4 has been lunching itself recently. The degradation past the 2 year mark has been pretty shocking, and this is one of the many symptoms of its old age I've experienced, sadly.

Using the phone as a permanent store is an interesting concept. I'm excited to see tools like ipfs, Camlistore and others emerging in this space, because this is a problem I have too :). Syncthing ( https://syncthing.net&#x2

That doesn't account for my screens, charger, etc. It's an admittedly minor concern, but I imagine it'll be very nice when I can just plug in a single cable :). The thing I've come to appreciate better is that everybody
