Exactly, suspension with pay is NOT a justified punishment for an unjust murder. Cops are quick to jump in and defend the department for firing this guy, but when is the last time you've seen a cop speak out against an unjust shooting?

But you are in 3D space, hence your view rotating in the direction that you drag the mouse (think first person shooter, you wouldn't invert controls for that).

Super creative use of A-frame, nice job. I spent the last month or so building a VR project and I found A-frame itself is still very early on and has a number of quirks, any particular issues you ran into?

Just use Prometheus, nothing else comes close to it. It also just hit 1.0 EDIT Should have mentioned how well it pairs with Grafana ;)

Yes, it works wonderfully. I published a Grafana dashboard for this here - https://grafana.net/dashboards/162

Personal anecdote, of course, but Uber saved my ass while I was in Europe (specifically Paris and Madrid). Immediately upon arriving via train to Paris from London we were harassed by a number of sketchy looking individuals claiming to be &

Another anecdote here, no prior boarding experience, I've put over 500 miles on my boosted board and only fallen once. I ride full speed in the street ~90% of the time.

In my experience, the vibrations on the board are far too strong to get any type of decent video while riding down the road. Always comes out looking extremely shaky.

Boosted rider with over 500 miles so far here. 0 boarding experience prior to purchasing my Boosted Board. The learning curve will be steep if you have no experience commuting on something like a bicycle. A lot of the challenge is in learn

This is only an issue if the battery is already fully charged. I live on a very steep incline ~18%, I know if I charge my battery 100% that I can't ride it downhill for the first leg of my trip, I simply unplug it a few minutes early

"We have a big public safety issue here, and we need to get them to understand that this a problem ... and that we do not intend to ignore it." What an absolute cop-out this is, no pun intended.

Can't say enough good things about Ansible. Just finished migrating 90% of our provisioning scripts away from Chef (they were due an overhaul anyways) to Ansible. It feels liberating to say the least and knowing that I no longer have

Couldn't it simply be that drinking coffee in coffee shops increases productivity, not the sounds? In all honesty, find a quiet place or get some noise canceling headphones, coffee shops are incredibly distracting.

From my experience of first trying a lightweight media center PC, leaving the browser open for extended periods caused pretty severe memory issues with the computer in general, that combined with the fact that Dashing itself is a Sinatra b

All the charts were created using the built in rickshaw library. Most of the widgets are in house at the moment but I'm working to open-source as much of it as possible.

I've been working pretty extensively on our in-house dashboard. We've settled on the Dashing framework written by Shopify with some rather heavy customization. The main focus has been on readability from long distances and the ab

Not sure how I feel about these "Being a sys-admin is hard, I'd rather not do it" type posts. This is literally THE CORE OF YOUR COMPANY, your site not working is inexcusable! I think this is going to be an emerging problem for many startu

Turns out the author of this article is actually 100% at fault. He actually pasted a link to the google doc publicly on one of his posts then scratched his head wondering how people were requesting access to this so called "private" doc. W

It seems like people really aren't understanding this. The site is a parody of google's own "If I had glass" site that launched yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5249820 They are looking for applicants to work together in a

Plenty of excuse, Google announced this merely a day ago, the hackathon is on Saturday. Extremely limited amount of time + demand for applicants, I think it's ok to overlook a few things here and there on the website :D

Joey, actually the blue line on the National Geographic map doesn't depict a river whatsoever, it's an arbitrary color for a state border. Because the river actually IS the defining border for the state, on the Imus map the river is highli
