My last-gen RPi is my primary non-interactive-media device. With Kodi / OSMC it makes a superb media center, capable of playing everything up to and including 1080p video. Very few compatibility issues, easily extensible, file transfer

I'd argue that whilst very different in philosophy, The Witcher 3 is about the closest we've come to Ultima VII since it was released. You might also find Age Of Decadence interesting - it's a super-indie made over a decade o

The templating engine is an interesting, and slightly curious, addition here. It looks significantly more flexible than anything nginx offers without having to bolt on a server-side language like PHP - unless nginx has something similar in

That's really great news, and I will be... well, given the speed with which Hacker News moves, about 40th in line to purchase it.

Given the extensive debunking of the security of all existing registrars in the post, I'd really love to know who CloudFlare were thinking of when they said "There are plenty of great mass-market registrars." Shortly after th

VR is my current top pic for a likely new frontier. It'll either bomb or it'll be huge, the equivalent of the introduction of the smartphone or greater.

Interesting - I'd not heard of 500px. Will check it out: my primary concern with Flickr has always been that it doesn't really enable discovery.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Flickr springs to mind. Still the default choice for a lot of serious photographers.

FANTASTIC. Thank you. This will significantly improve my ability to get useful info out of HN. The "single mega-thread" problem really cripples some comment sections.

Yes, significantly. I was in the same boat. The new tracking's much better. Doesn't seem to improve all of the old apps, mind. I tried their 3D modelling app with the new Orion software and it wasn't much cop. But for VR it w

Sorry, poor contextual phrasing. I have an original Leap. When I tested it with the new software they've just released, it still worked fine. The new software doesn't require new Leap hardware, and will work with the original hard

This is clearly a key concern for a lot of people, judging from the advertising in the UK for delivery services. Just about all of them emphasise how careful they are when picking. FWIW, I'm also rather picky, and whilst I don't a

The tracking is indeed significantly better post-sundown. I was actually getting some presence in VR. Very impressive.

I've got an original Leap and it worked fine for me. It makes reference to needing a mount for the VR attachment, but elsewhere on their site they teach you how to DIY the mount with duct tape :)

That URL gives me a not found error, I'm afraid.

I've just been testing this out. It works. Not perfectly, for me, so far - it's a little wobbly, and I heartily recommend clearing your desk before beginning. With a headset-mounted Leap the close distance isn't particularly

What are the high points of Phabricator? I'm reading the landing page, but the terribly self-deprecating style makes it hard to find the actual pain-point solutions buried within.

Slightly confused - who's generating the ads in this scenario, and who's paying for the ad space?

Thanks for confirming - that was what I assumed. I really couldn't see the HN community suddenly getting their hate on for an article on converting CURL commands to Go! :)

Could you point out some examples of specific stories that you think dropped due to flagging? It's an interesting point but looking at that graph I see only one story that looks like it was probably flagged ("rent a minority"

Harsh words? Where? The most harsh phrase I can see in OP's post is "small minority", and that's not exactly South Park material.

You might want to modify the title of this post. I saw you mention configuring NGINX and got very interested - but if it's Apache only I don't care nearly as much... Having said that - will the configurator also handle optimisatio

Heh, yeah, I keep considering getting into LoL or DOTA then remembering why I don't. It's a pity. They look like fantastic, deep games. But there's the whole "other people" problem...

I strongly recommend acquiring a Steam Link and Steam Controller, in that case. I have them, and they're incredibly useful to play PC games - yes, even RTSes and other mouse-heavy games - in a console way.

by thenomad 11y ago
Yeah, that can totally happen. I know people who burned out pretty hard doing things like running MMO guilds or trying to compete in PvP games like Hearthstone. Definitely, do what works for you at that time.
