ErikRogneby··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now

ErikRogneby··on Right to Repair: The Price Is Not Right
Exactly right! there are a whole lot of after-market part suppliers for major appliances like dishwashers, laundry washing machines etc. Some of them have a parts list and assembly schematic hidden in the machine.
ErikRogneby··on Ask HN: Anyone want a CLI and push based Slack client (focused on battery life)?
If you turn off auto expanding gifs and images it saves a lot of your battery. I also wonder if the browser based client is any less of a hog?

To answer your question, if I'm on the CLI, I'm doing work. Slack helps with team cohesion but is a focus killer. I wouldn't be interested.

ErikRogneby··on Scientists SMASH five of the biggest mysteries of modern physics
Great one pager on this new theory.
ErikRogneby··on Browserball
Might as well say don't use the web. Disabling javascript will break most sites with a few rare exceptions. (like HN)
ErikRogneby··on Upload files to your repositories
Has anyone seen a way to disable this feature at a repo or org level? I'm not crazy about master getting treated like Dropbox.
ErikRogneby··on ARRIS Cable Modem Has a Backdoor in the Backdoor
Wasn't there a project a while back where someone was building a open source modem/router from the ground up? A kick starter or something?
ErikRogneby··on A $99.99 Surfboard Upends the Industry
I was thinking the same thing. People who get hooked on the sport using a $100 board may eventually learn more about the details of the sport and purchase a $1000 board and develop a relationship with their local surf shop.

Fly fishing has similar cheap gear at box stores, yet still has a healthy eco-system of specialty shops.

ErikRogneby··on Luciding – Induce Lucid Dreaming Through Transcranial Stimulation
Lucid dreaming is exhausting. When I was younger I trained myself to maintain that thread of control as a fell asleep. It is an incredibly powerful experience to be able to command every aspect of reality. I didn't wake up rested though, it was the exact opposite. Managing both my own actions and decisions and the entire world I was interacting with wiped me out.

As a side note, it was much harder to learn to stop doing it, than to start.

ErikRogneby··on What’s new in HAProxy 1.6
Lots of goodness!
ErikRogneby··on Our First Certificate Is Now Live
For real. This is so damn awesome I feel like letting out a Howard Dean like yell.
ErikRogneby··on Lockpickers 3-D Print TSA Master Luggage Keys from Leaked Photos
I expect that this will change nothing and that these locks will continue to provide the same illusion of privacy and security that they did before.

The other option is to buy s $3 padlock at your hardware store and risk TSA breaking out the bolt cutters. Cheaper than a beer in coach.

ErikRogneby··on Chef Software Raises $40M in Series E Funding
add devops to your search.
ErikRogneby··on Node v4.0.0
I wonder how fast AWS will adopt it on Lambda?
ErikRogneby··on Inside Popcorn Time – the world's fastest growing piracy site
Helpling access and consume it is called secondary liability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_liability

I expect the case law around this sort of thing will continue to evolve.

ErikRogneby··on Inside Popcorn Time – the world's fastest growing piracy site
Here is a map of where it is illegal. (the blue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention#/media/File:B...
ErikRogneby··on Inside Popcorn Time – the world's fastest growing piracy site
Why have a Terms of Service for what is clearly an illegal site? https://popcorntime.io/tos
ErikRogneby··on Ask HN: How to contribute to Open Source projects without feeling overwhelmed?
The best way to start contributing is by using an open source project and open issues on any problems you find. Or for features that you would like. Then see if you can fix one of those small issues yourself. Fork, fix, and submit your pull request.

Documentation issues are also a great place to start and can have you digging in the code to truly understand what an API or method are suppose to do.

ErikRogneby··on The xkcd survey
Is your correlated.org data-set or result-set available bulk or via API?
ErikRogneby··on The xkcd survey
HAH! I almost just had coffee spurting out of my nose.
ErikRogneby··on Refugees Welcome
Nobody is lucky to have xenophobic and bigoted leaders.
ErikRogneby··on Thimble – An online code editor
pretty slick online editor. Has some nice touches.

Where is the national do-not-call list for clueless tech recruiters?
ErikRogneby··on Google PDF Search: “not for public release”
This was one of the most ironic things I found: https://s3.amazonaws.com/reviz-tutorials/The_Pirates_Code.pd...
ErikRogneby··on Probably The World's Greatest Jeweller
Quite a sensationalist title. Perhaps I don't fully comprehend the ins and outs of high end jewelry but the pictures felt like over the top items that might be costume jewelry or might be part of Liberace's estate sale...
ErikRogneby··on John Carmack's son's game in Racket
I've switched to markdown for most of my personal stuff. In Word my typing content to formatting content was around 60/40. In markdown I format as I type and it's maybe 5% tops.
ErikRogneby··on With $100M in Funding, Carbon3D Will Make 3D Manufacturing a Reality
Anyone have more info on the different materials the article mentions? on the carbon3d.com website they have a couple short clips about elastic or durable, but that is about it.
ErikRogneby··on How “oldschool” graphics worked [video]
I hardly ever subscribe to youtube channels, but I clicked it as soon as I finished watching part one.
ErikRogneby··on AT&T Helped N.S.A. Spy on an Array of Internet Traffic
This should surprise no one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A
ErikRogneby··on The slinky machine: a slinky escalator
What would you call those square axles? Gears, cogwheels and sprockets all have teeth. The cube doesn't exactly have teeth... Come on logophiles, help me out!
