AndreasFrom··on New Rust runtime turned on. What next?
Not at all, it just takes work.
AndreasFrom··on Dont Worry Government, I Got This Porn Filter Sorted
Alt+. does the same and (at least in Zsh) allows you to cycle backwards.
AndreasFrom··on Wine 1.6 Released With 10,000 Changes
The question then becomes, are the native tools as good or should developers reliant on things like Valgrind stay on Linux?
AndreasFrom··on Wine 1.6 Released With 10,000 Changes
BSD tools instead of GNU that behave differently and old compiler versions.

And generally incompatibilities that need to be ironed out, but I'm glad to be mistaken.

AndreasFrom··on Wine 1.6 Released With 10,000 Changes
From the outside it seems that Mac developers have just as much trouble, but with things like homebrew and developer tools in general. At least if doing anything else than web programming. Is this wrong?
AndreasFrom··on Enough with the JavaScript already
http://www.xamarin.com compiles C# to native apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
AndreasFrom··on Nitro: A Quick And Simple Profiler For Golang
I've used it a bit and found top and -cum very useful. Nitro seems to combine memory and CPU(?) but besides that I don't understand the benefit.

Edit: The author expanded here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6022679

Nitro seems quite nice.

What are the benefits over the built in pprof?
AndreasFrom··on Monocle
Amusingly, the font is too small to be pleasant on my tablet and the layout isn't very zoom-friendly.
AndreasFrom··on Show HN: 7min Workout with Rdio
Just pressing the screen worked for me
AndreasFrom··on TCP simultaneous open and peer to peer networking
BitTorrent Sync [1] can help with the explicit file sharing problem from the xkcd. Too bad it's not open source.

AndreasFrom··on Introducing the Go Race Detector
I made pprof work, on my machine at least, by replacing the Unix-style directories with Windows ones. /dev/null -> NUL and /tmp -> $ENV{'TEMP'} in the perl script.
AndreasFrom··on OS X is holding back the 2013 MacBook Air’s 802.11ac Wi-Fi speeds
The title should reflect that it's only regarding wifi speed.
AndreasFrom··on Elm at Prezi
Elm 0.8 was recently announced with a range of improvements for those interested: http://elm-lang.org/blog/announce/version-0.8.elm
AndreasFrom··on The Art of Finding Anyone’s Email Addresses

AndreasFrom··on Haswell will offer 50 per cent more battery life in laptops
I got quite excited as I read Haswell as Haskell, but if these claims hold, I'm still excited!
AndreasFrom··on Show HN: WideArea – an expandable textarea
Perhaps this would also be useful as a browser extension so it could be used across the Internet.
AndreasFrom··on Show HN: My new homepage
The flockwithme and rulethejungle icons don't appear as links on my tablet which confused me a bit. The rest do.
AndreasFrom··on Poll: Which is your primary text editor?
Why do you want to get rid of Emacs?
AndreasFrom··on New EmacsWiki design
Are you sure, we have Evil-mode and everything ;)
AndreasFrom··on Declarative Data Visualization library
How do you label the axes?
AndreasFrom··on Is Shelly Cloud faster than Heroku?
I agree. One of the things I love about scientific papers is being able to read the abstract to determine if the whole paper is worth reading.
AndreasFrom··on Pdf2htmlEX – Convert PDF to HTML without losing text or format
This works and displays correctly, but is unbearably slow on iPad 2 whereas the PDF loads instantly. What is the point then or does it work a lot better in desktop browsers?
AndreasFrom··on Ghost: Just a Blogging Platform
But it certainly loads quickly.
AndreasFrom··on BitTorrent’s Secure Dropbox Alternative Goes Public
I just want to note, also regarding the comments on this, that the ability to set up a dedicated server that always has the newest file exists.
AndreasFrom··on Free O'Reilly Books
I found it good and think you can look forward to reading it.
AndreasFrom··on How To Make Your Open Source Project Really Awesome
It appears to be a Usenet / mailing list / email abbreviation [1]. I could see myself appreciating it when skimming mailing lists or large documents, but then again I could just use Ctrl-f or the like. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Announcement_(computing)
AndreasFrom··on Free Raspberry Pi co-location in Sweden
Not if you're Danish ;)
AndreasFrom··on Denmark: 1,000 Megawatts Of Offshore Wind, And No Signs of Slowing Down
Well, a single nuclear reactor minus the waste that needs to be stored for thousands of years.
