ArnoldP··on Show HN: Trigger Happy, a selfhosted clone of IFTTT
Any time I think about the future of social services I think about the proliferation of these types of programs and then to my own automatic agents in huginn and how much nicer they make it to consume kijiji/facebook/and, bes of all, twitter. Give one of these a shot, and huginn is really nice once you get past ruby setup (unpleasant in my experience). Eventually everyone will consume their social media through garbage sieves like these.

It also helps the idea that the highest administration at the time brought about their own downfall with something as trivial as a pr stunt.
ArnoldP··on Driving Is Losing Its Allure for More Americans
Having biked in urban environments for quite some time, I've found the solution is is to have a crappy bike and a bigger lock than the next bike over. Note that a crappy bike doesn't have to be a bad bike, just not something flashy.

They certainly did something right, though I'm not quite sure what it was. A few years back, you couldn't step in front of an undergrad class here (Canada) without being subject to a wall of glowing bitten apples staring at you, now at least a quarter I'd estimate are those surface tablets.

Who knew people would take a chance on laptop that doesn't work when on your lap.

Why do you think no problem is rude?
ArnoldP··on In the Works – AWS Region in Canada
Are they actually going to put it in mtl? It'd be more likely that they build a centre in beauharnois and benefit from cheap hydro like OVH
ArnoldP··on Facebook's “free internet” programme hits a roadblock in India
Since they have their advertising bots and learning machines reading all that stuff all of the time, it would only be a matter of time before they shut that hole (if it gained a decent amount of popularity)
ArnoldP··on BitTorrent file system
I wonder if this prioritizes chunks in order? Or does one have to wait for an entire mp4 to be downloaded before knowing it will play all the way through?
