Well over the "Internet" kind of implies behind a firewall so the service would be a convenience to avoid setting up port forwarding etc.

It'd be cool to have the ability to pipe stuff over the Internet from shell in real time like you would with SSH for instance. So I could do: A$ curl --upload-file - http://blah < /proc/kmsg B$ curl http:&#x2F

Power Saver feature of android (or maybe just the Cyanogenmod flavor of it) disables all animation which is based on the android UI framework and besides making everything faster (and apparently less power hungry), it could also change the

OK. Sandisk SDs should support TRIM (provided the SD controller supports it too) so you could keep their performance up over the time. I can confirm that Sandisk's 64GB microSD extreme pro is TRIMable on a raspberry pi.

> someone should theoretically be able to extract the entire dataset as static files Yep, not only possible but trivial. One has to just figure out where the hash links are in each blob and follow them.

I've been blogging since 2008 [1]. I think blogs are the least 3rd party reliant outlets for personal/pro content. As long as you can keep your domain, you have control over how, where and when your content is accessible. You cont

Second last "internal" photo, top left corner next to the ribbon connector. That thing that looks like a long cap SMD is the chip antenna (just guessing).

100% agreed re McDonalds. Not only that, its healthiness is easy to verify since all the ingredients and nutrition data is available. Good luck finding out how much saturated fat is in the dish at that posh restaurant everyone queues up for

Sure, spoken language is fairly raw unprocessed output, but what I have a problem with, speaking with the general population, is that when they're asked to confirm/rephrase/clarify their imprecise output, they don't th

Until today, I didn't know one could read a text without the internal monologue voicing it as well. I certainly can't. It also seems to explain why I'm a slow reader and why I tend to retain with precision, text that I'v

Even with a purpose built DSLR, you still have to frame your shot. I meant I don't need to look at the screen to make the phone ready to shoot. I believe the software can go a long way. It will never be as UX friendly as a camera, sure

Somewhat related, JPEG files have the potential to leak a whole lot of information (through EXIF metadata) if put online straight of a camera/phone. Things like time but also camera model and even precise GPS location. That's why

This can all be "fixed" in software. In fact, on my HTC One M8 which is running Cyanogenmod, if I double press the power button at anytime, it switches to camera app and I can then take photos by pressing either volume buttons. I

Nice! Back when I started using it, it didn't have that (or I didn't look carefully enough).

This problem bit me in the butt when I was trying to setup my blog on S3. On every sync, all the pages, which were gzipped on my machine (Cloudfront doesn't do compression on the fly) would upload again. Then I discovered `gzip -n` whi

Say the new feature was a super accurate GPS, down to a centimeter so you could now find your way in a shopping mall. Oh and it'd report a position once a minute!

My lenovo x250 laptop has an internal battery that does exactly this, lets you swap the external one without interruption. I haven't used this much but I can see how important it is for someone on the go.

Absolutely! My only source of news/articles comes to me through RSS feeds that are sent as emails. lapafeed [1] running alongside a free Mailchimp and OpenShift instance takes care of the whole thing. [1]: https://github.com

I personally find python in general to align almost perfectly with the way I think about writing software. It's interpreted so I can do things like compiling dynamic python in my code or fall into a python shell for debugging. Majority
