Interesting! Other than JS, what else runs on the backend?

Fastidious··on Show HN: Free, instant, secure, disposable chat rooms built in Go
How one runs this? I installed go, and redis. The ran "go get github.com/goniltalk/niltalk", which installed. The previous command created three directories under my $GOPATH, one on which has a 'nilktalk' executable.

For someone who has never dabbled with go, how do I run nilktalk after all of the above was done?

The whole page is very difficult to navigate.
Fastidious··on Amazon Goes After Dropbox, Google, Microsoft with Unlimited Cloud Drive Storage
I do not think Amazon is going after Dropbox, Google and Microsoft with this, as the article title implies. Thus far, Amazon is offering a different service: Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive all synchronize your files (selective or all) Amazon's Cloud Drive does not.
Fastidious··on Amazon Goes After Dropbox, Google, Microsoft with Unlimited Cloud Drive Storage
It doesn't seems to be. I just installed it. Under OS X you get a window to which you can drag and drop files and directories, and you can download files and directories from your Cloud Drive, but not synchronization, selective or otherwise. That makes it a limping service for me.
Fastidious··on Amazon Goes After Dropbox, Google, Microsoft with Unlimited Cloud Drive Storage
I have not played with Amazon Cloud Drive yet, does it allows for selective synchronization?
Fastidious··on AeroFS is now free up to 30 users
It requires VirtualBox, VMWare, EC2, or similar—in other words, you can't just install this on your DigitalOcean droplet, or your Vultr cloud server.

Is that a sarcasm site?
Fastidious··on End-to-End Encryption Plugin for Yahoo Mail
That is the way I built it. I wanted to add that java is required.
Fastidious··on Wolfenstein 1-D (2011)
Before you even click, Flash is required. No Flash, nothing to see.
Fastidious··on Show HN: Squall – A microblogging platform that replaces tweetstorms
Stucked at "Posting tweet..."
Fastidious··on David Horne's 1K Chess on the ZX81 (2001)
Does anyone have a link to find out more about David Horne?
Fastidious··on Paperspace – A full computer you can access from any web browser
They designed their own protocol for a much better experience. Read their comments!
Fastidious··on Show HN: Your private Reddit, best topic messenger
Yes, but how does it works? I think what we are asking is for technical details (technology, servers, security, privacy)

Interesting, thanks for the link!

Google implementation of an office suite is very popular at middle, high school, and online universities (even though most of them offer the free Office365).

I can't provide an answer on what happened to you, but I use Google Drive (which has word processing, spreadsheets, etc) extensibly. Any document created resides on Drive, instantly synchronized with my computer, autosaved on change. And I can edit it while offline.

I had not had any problem, but that is not to say it is problem free.

Fastidious··on [dead]
Installing an "office suite" these days is becoming less and less of a need. I can only speak for myself, but online versions at Google, or Microsoft (to mention two) are all I need.
Fastidious··on How we built the new BBC Homepage
I love the BBC. Very interesting news, fairly balanced.

I hope I can play their videos on the new website, as before they all used to require Flash.

Fastidious··on GnuPG 2.1.2 released
I said "it sounds...", not that it was from a throwaway account. The "nasty" bugs you referred were never a problem for me, and the way you wrote sounded sensationalist.
Fastidious··on GnuPG 2.1.2 released
Interested on those nasty bugs too, as I am on pass mailing list and have not read anything about them. This sounds more like a plug to pass, from a throwaway account.
Fastidious··on How We Bought easypost.com
Agreed. £10,0000 would have been the correct way. Or 10,000 GBP.
Fastidious··on In Search of Cervantes’s Casket
Why is it unacceptable? Isn't digging up bones for identification part of archeology? Motivation? Tribute perhaps, or national "closure?" After all, his remains true location are still unknown.

There is nothing disrespectful here, au contraire, it is about respect.

Fastidious··on Show HN: CLMM, an exercise in cryptographic minimalism
Isn't this just similar to PGP but with a smaller public key?
Fastidious··on Google Domains Launches to All in U.S
I was a beta tester as well. All the reasons you listed apply. Even before they opened for the masses I have moved all my domains in. Some extra reasons:

- Simple integration if you are on Google apps (I am grandfathered, using their, old, standard, free Gapps.

- Customer support was superb and instant, via chat, and it was great. The person knew what he was doing.

Definitely a keeper.

T-Mobile is German. And yes, same company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile).
Fastidious··on UK MP calls for email disclaimer ban
He used it to prove a point. I understood it as "I am proud of Tim B-L, and what he brought us. Let us be proud British, and not bloody asses, and stop this disclaimer non-sense."
Fastidious··on Why I pulled my daughter out of high school to teach her to code
I think you can teach her to code, while she still goes to high school. The 'why' is not explained convincingly enough.
