+1 to that - I love that it's time sorted instead of prioritised by what other people have voted for. I procrastinate/visit enough that I can usually keep up to date with what's happening.

It looks to me like he's waiting for something or someone.

I'm delighted by how in-depth and detailed this is!

I'd be interested in seeing the numbers for how much the final product weighs in comparison to Kevlar/Carbon Fibre...

I'd also love to know if this research went anywhere since 2012

> Australians in general are hesitant to use their AC or electric heaters

Anecdotal, but I don't think I know a single person here who is hesitant to use heating/AC - could just be down to the people I know, but I get funny looks when I tell people just to wrap up.

Something that did surprise me here is the near-complete lack of double glazing. Everywhere I've lived has been thin single-glazed windows which just let out all of the heat/cold. It's bizarre.

I started reading this, scrolled back up and saw the date - Then it all made sense.

[Depending on where you are] you might find there are mental health services with 24h phone lines for people in your situation.

I'm personally concerned about the claimed 500W power - Surely that isn't enough?

This worked really well in London, imo. Lots of really good transport infrastructure + city tolls make for a relatively nice driving experience.

I'd love to know what the "security hardware" is - It's tacked on the end as a bullet point but I want to know what they mean by that...

When I read this I assumed amazon datacentre - and thought it was probably a pretty good use for all of that heat they generate...

I was very pleasantly surprised by VSCode - My only gripe with it is that it can be quite hard to find information about it online because it shares a name and purpose with Visual Studio.

I haven't been to many places in Germany admittedly, but the seeming young freedom of Berlin certainly seemed like it would be perfect for a startup atmosphere.

Interesting idea - I've always associated germany with startups for some reason.

I am definitely stealing that

I haven't seen enough of the titles on the list to know if any of them are series, but AFAIK this is only a list of movies.

Who owns it?

Edit: Looks like EA owns it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluxe_Paint#Legacy

This is the information I came to find. Thanks!

This looks cool. Thanks for linking! What epaper hardware are you using?

I'd recommend possibly sticking it on archive.org - I've seen other old software on there. Either that or reach out to lucasarts and ask if it's okay, I suppose. (As long as you get it in writing)

I really wish this was a headline that surprised me.

I've always felt like I work at a company that would handle this well, but I don't particularly want to find out.

I was under the impression that the viewing angles were intentionally poor for the sake of privacy and not having glare in the faces of the people behind you.

My understanding is that DDCI stands for 'Deputy Director of Central Intelligence' - What would this document have been for?

They's weird, I just clicked on the link and it was there...

This link is just timing out for me. HN hug of death?

I recently took a flight with Virgin Atlantic and was actually pleasantly surprised. It still wasn't perfect, but it was by far the best I've seen from in-flight entertainment.

I think this article assumes that 'learning to code' and 'being a programmer' are one and the same. I personally believe than (like many things) there is a huge difference between the two - I do believe that anybody can code, but being a programmer is a completely different kettle of fish.

Anybody can code, sure. Not everybody can code professionally.

I'm incredibly thankful for my education. I've had the privilege of being relatively well educated and looking back I am incredibly grateful that my parents were both willing and able to put me through decent schools.

That sounds like an awesome idea - and a good way of promoting yourselves!

I'll admit I spent a bit of time on your homepage thinking "the use of those birds are a bit twitter". Then I realised you're called App Canary.
