   I don’t live in New Zealand, but I assume this is good for locals. Would love to hear your thoughts if you live there! I live in LA and I’d welcome it here - not for all “foreigners” but at least to block foreign investors in residential ho

   This is funny. I think I’ll stick with “thefuck” [1] though. It would make a good prank to set up on someone that left their machine unlocked. Not sure if it’s more funny than changing their background to goatse. [1] https://gith

   Married, so I probably won’t be using that site anytime soon. I did meet my wife on OkCupid and I was doing the Ng ML class at the time and studying NLP and wrote a bit of my own “crawlers” to weed out people, find matches, and draft letter

   People called Obama one too. I think the difference is the subtle embrace of white supremacy via the inability to dismiss or criticize those “good people” on both sides.

   Oh it’s not at all. I particularly hate having things in my pocket. That’s my use case. And honestly I rarely close my windows or sliding glass door so it’s the least of my non-concerns. Check out the defcon video where it gets owned up and

   I’ve used it frequently in the past. Biz would write up tickets in our own CMS. The form would help them format their stories and would also autocomplete based on steps in previous stories. Upon submitting/editing it would create a tic

    I often see the floppy disk image and think “WTF is that still doing there?” I can’t imagine what my kids will think it is. My parents are completely confused by the power button. My mom thinks it’s a stick figure finger pushing a button.

    I’ve used Sidekiq for years. Great project. Looking forward to giving this a swing. I really respect what Mike’s done being able to monetize his work on cool open source projects.

    It will probably be a no for me as well. I read “on the shoulders of giants”[1] a few years ago and despite it being for a less super educated audience I was head scratching a few times. I just finished “astrophysics for people in a hurry“

    This would obviously be done off the surface of the moon. I would also accept being launched out of a trebuchet. I won’t budge on the cartwheeling starfish. In case I pass by intelligent life in a few billion years I definelty want them to

    Uh- That is a really cool article you shared. Very impressive stuff. Would love to read a write up on: > Our servers don't have persistent storage, RAM only. (At boot, it's a manual restore from something like Tarsnap.)

    I’d be down for this if my current plans are still too expensive to be an option when I die. I’d like to be flung out of a mass driver towards interstellar space, naked, in the “starfish position.” Starfish position for the uninformed is ar

    I was on the barren craggy side of Aruba with my wife standing on this sheer “cliff” about 15 feet above the ocean watching these big waves roll in. All of a sudden a wave about 20 feet appeared out of nowhere and almost swept us off the cl

    I’ve run a fair amount of email campaigns where we strip out the + if gmail is the domain to ensure it doesn’t end up in some weird filter. Dick move, I know. Tell marketing that though. I personally use gmail through a vanity domain and ha
