I had to install the DirectX user runtime recently and was pretty shocked to see Microsoft has loaded it up with lots of crapware. First when you click download from its page at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download&

Good talk, but I wish there was a deeper dive into what it was like living and working in the DPRK. For folks more interested in that, check out this great talk from HOPE last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_HXPm-PN

What does MS gain? Is online source code storage really going to be a million or billion dollar business for them? It seems like it's just a race to the bottom with costs, just like Dropbox, Box, etc. etc.

That is really impressive. Now for comedy, someone find the size of a similar program in Go.

That's awesome, and holy cow I think this is the first time I've ever seen Chrome on Linux actually render WebGL. Did they finally enable it by default in recent updates?

Ouch, I knew someone who had SJS from a reaction to some drugs and it was a truly horrible experience. Ended up in the burn ward for a while because SJS was basically causing their skin to come off. Would not wish that on my worst enemy (

You can pick a great kit from MightyOhm that has the tube and supporting electronics to power it. It outputs data on a serial connection so it's easy to read from an Arduino. Check it out here: https://www.adafruit.com&#x2

I am genuinely curious, why is this post on Hackernews' front page? Yes I know this type of comment is typically frowned upon (and will happily accept the downvotes), but seriously--a story about cooking beans with some vague science

Wow, this is a really great presentation that resonates a lot with me.

Is that for OEMs or for end users? I thought it was just for OEMs.

Ahh, that's probably it. Thanks!

How is the Broadwell CPU in it compared to Haswell chips in performance? It might say Core i7 but I thought Broadwell was basically a warmed over Atom processor. Performance from Broadwell on inexpensive tablets and laptops has not been g

Ancecdotal, but I remember when the original Kindle came out I thought exactly that. Who would want to pay more money just so you can buy a book when you're sitting at a park or coffee shop? Just give me a device I can tether to my c

I also got fed up with my iPhone 5 and the crazy cell phone bills I had and switched to a Moto G (2nd gen) on a cheapo prepaid GSM plan. I couldn't be happier and am ecstatic to pay less than $30/month for phone service and own t

Is there any indication they're going to sell Cast radio compatible chips to end users? I seriously doubt you could get one without signing NDAs, etc.

UPnP and DLNA are a disaster of incompatibility and terrible usability. I've tried to use various UPnP/DLNA audio streaming hardware for almost 10 years and they have all had terrible issues. Most required the device controlling

Oh yeah, I loved that FTP site! It was one of the only internet addresses I had memorized by heart.

Oh wow, I was thinking of writing a very similar post too. Denthor's tutorials were one of my first introductions to programming, and I too fondly remember typing them all into Turbo Pascal and trying to understand exactly what they d

It would be pretty ironic, but maybe it would kick Microsoft to do something similar. If they already have fancy buses to shuttle all their workers around, why don't they lay a nice fiber network to give them all fast internet (and al

I've been living in the Seattle area for 10 years, and my only option for high speed internet has been Comcast. So where has the magic of the free marketplace been for that time?

by tdicola 12y ago
I wonder if they could at least bring it to the east side, where their Kirkland office and Microsoft in general is located. I bet there are lots of high tech workers who would be more than happy to dump Comcast for Google Fiber over there.

Contextual Electronics sounds like just what you're interested in with both design and implementation of electronics. The course is about to start later in January too: https://contextualelectronics.com/

I'm new to doing 1099 work and am curious, are there any big tax write offs in particular to look out for?

There's a nicer web interface here (scroll down to releases), it even lets you watch things live or go back a few hours to something that just aired: http://streaming.media.ccc.de/

Is it even that compelling if it's open source? I'd rather it just be based on WebKit and contribute back to that project.

Your logic needs to be tweaked, I'm not a part of any voting ring or whatever.

Yeah I think the distortion makes it look really cool, like a new way to experience Quake.
