Strange, I though HN de-duped submissions? I had submitted the same link earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9575829 Anyway, terrific writing, as always.

I'd be really curious to hear feedback from anyone that has used this. I'm currently using dspam and still deal with a lot of spam hitting my inbox.

I had the exact same thoughts. On one hand I love the idea of racking mac pros and having drawers full of Wera tools to work with, but on the other hand, it just seems like the kind of silly expenditures that come with too much funding.

Pretty cool. It would be nice to be able to restrict the results to only current phones. For example, I will upgrade this summer and wanted to find a phone similar in size and weight to my current phone, but most of the results were for o

Yes, as noted in the message: If you're interested in this effort, please email me. This is a really good new contributor task, so if anyone's asked you how they could get involved with Debian, you should send them to u

I use sqlite to store all of my small datasets. Minimally, I think of it as a replacement for zipped CSV files. But it also has the added benefit of a relational structure and SQL. It is super easy to access from julia, R, python, etc, so

Ok, this makes more sense now. I had interpreted "the last mile" to be closer to the home than the level of the network that is hashing out peering deals with transits.

by k2enemy 12y ago
How would this solve the problem though? Having competition at the last mile doesn't solve the problem of congestion in miles 2-100 where there is still one company.

Exactly. They just came up with a way of transmitting information from one computer to another with the appropriate software running on each computer. From the headline, I was imagining some tempest like result where data could be read fro

A little off topic, but their site makes it really hard to figure out what BMJ stands for. I clicked around until I saw a picture of an old medical journal with "British Medical Journal" on the spine. On the ten or so pages I tr

Great tips for flying with kids in general. I'm pretty confident that these particular instances were due to the announcements as things instantly went from happy to crying "it hurts! loud!" with hands over ears, then back

I've noticed this too. On my last few flights it has been so loud it caused physical discomfort (to me) and made my toddler cry.

We really do need to find a better way of authenticating and identifying people. SSNs were never meant for this and they clearly don't fill the role successfully. I've long been a proponent of the government announcing that they

I use pass [0]. It is a great password manager (and I use it for that), but it also works great as a journal. I use a different GPG key for the journal than the passwords. Writing in the journal is as simple as pass edit journal&#x

I use a setup very similar to this on OS X. - After using offlineimap for years, I recently switched to mbsync/isync. It is way faster and has been much more stable. - After a stint with sup ( http://supmua.org ), I'm n
