Hmmm. What would you recommend for the instance where someone's emailed hn@ycombinator.com and hasn't gotten a response? I suspect it's something I said, I'm just unsure exactly what . I asked about the posting and AP

Okay, I'll ask the question: I stumbled on https://gist.github.com/nylki/1efbaa36635956d35bcc recently. This is rather random and chaotic; some parts are interesting, other parts not so much. How could I build a n

Here's my problem. I'm not particularly prolific, so the number of ideas I have far outweighs my execution so far. This is mostly due to ADHD and other issues which I'm working on fixing, and while contextually relevant is no

Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush when I made the above comment - you're right, I could have worded it a little more clearly. I don't have `ls` colorization enabled on this laptop, so I didn't immediately notice the binaries ne

Hi! One related question, and one offtopic question. Do you happen to have any idea what actually happened internally with this? I ask this coming from the standpoint of "ouch, another example of ignored paying customers". Obvious

Very useful, I really liked that design. (If anything, I wish there had've been a little "notch" cut above the right edge, so that once you move the slider over and the top and bottom parts animate out the edges of the screen

TIL. That's really cool. Now I'm wondering if there are any small fully-paravirtualized hypervisors and guests I can play with. I guess Linux's support for various forms of I/O acceleration is more or less it. I didn&#x2

So you mean like... NTOSKRNL et al essentially retrofitted to run in a kind of userspace? Nice. I don't expect that kind of thing to ever leave a research environment though. It would mess with too many people's heads and give peo

That's very true. Such attacks are predicated on an ignorant and/or lazy target demographic, I guess. Incidentally, when I copied the link out of Chrome (57) it pasted the punycode link even though it showed "apple.com"

That's refreshing to hear that whoever had the authority in that situation also had a brain. I wonder how tricky it would have been to set up a MAC- and plug-location-based VLAN to isolate those devices onto, with a very very careful

I will admit I've just rapidly paged through that PDF, but it looks like I'm reading a Xen introductory paper. Xen is open source. I found some PV IO drivers at https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Windows_GplPv whi
