TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Windows laptops for devs
You'll want to install a clean Windows no matter what laptop you buy.

As for laptops, I prefer Thinkpads, with their excellent build quality, and the availability of factory parts in case something goes wrong. Personally I run a Thinkpad T530 with 1 SSD, 1 HDD in the dvd tray and a nice battery.

If you make this bowl, it will have two surfaces, with no way to get from one side to the other.

I need this printed on t-shirts!

TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Why is a 5K monitor exciting?
Compared to the standard 4K or compared to 1080p?

Hurdle for the police, but a bigger one for you.
TobbenTM··on Moto 360 review
But then you wouldn't get a daily awesome watch face. Nor cards without waking it up. As it is, cards will appear even on dimmed screens.
TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Developer portfolio?
I think this would be really interesting, however I would think you need it to have a lot of customizability. ie: not all my github projects are relevant, or something I would want to marked extensively over others, so you would need a way to filter the content of the feeds.

And I do think it's important with integration to github/bitbucket etc, linkedin with more. If I am to use yet another portfolio site, I would want to do the least amount of work as possible in setting it up.

I'm very interested to see where this will be going, and wish you the best of luck. :)

TobbenTM··on Saying Goodbye To Windows 8
{Windows Key} + {Shift} + {Arrow *} to move windows between screens.

Can only move "sideways" though, so even if you have screen on top of each other, one have to move windows sideways.

TobbenTM··on Hold the Phone: A Big-Data Conundrum
Re: samsung: while they don't make the operating system, they do bundle apps and sometimes even their own filesystem (Galaxy S1). This particular filesystem made android slow.
TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Coding outdoors
I would think a tablet along with a wireless keyboard would be the best option if you are looking for something small. A tablet with a data-connection even better. The biggest problem would be a good enough screen to use in the sunlight.
TobbenTM··on How every smartphone platform gets the alarm clock wrong
The default android clock app will give you a notification about an upcoming alarm, and give you the option to dismiss it in advance (once of course) without having to open it.
TobbenTM··on Show HN: Linux tool to show progress for cp, rm, dd, etc.
Ehm, etc is a directory, not a program?

(Sorry, really bad joke...)

TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Just bought a Pi...now what?
I made a bandwidth 'monitor' using my Pi and two tachometers using the GPIO port and monitoring the gateway.

So just make something you think would be cool!

Raspian is not really any different from other distros tbh.

TobbenTM··on The Norwegian Tech Industry is All at Sea
Quite a complex issue, this is a good talk about it though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f6geiVdwpk
TobbenTM··on Ask HN: Best current Linux-compatible laptop?
Most lenovo ThinkPads are certified to work with Ubuntu.

And (for me at least) there are no better laptops out there. They should have all of your needs covered. I would suggest going for the T540. It's awesome.

TobbenTM··on Facebook for Android and Why Zuckerberg now owns your ass
Yeah, I don't understand why more people doesn't use it. As the author points out; the permissions for the native app is scary, and has been for a long while. Use the web interface and all problems are solved!
TobbenTM··on GitHub Selfies
This is really cool, what would be even cooler though is to have them in commit messages. Sadly though, GitHub does not allow images (or very limited markdown) in commit messages. :/
TobbenTM··on 2-bitfinity. Just like 2048, but without limit.
FYI: You can play the original 2048 past 2048. You just click "Keep playing" after reaching 2048. Problem solved.
TobbenTM··on JS1k demo details: 2048
No, the problem is the it think it's over when you do a move and no numbers can merge. The board may be full, and you may have possibilities but you did a move where no numbers could merge.

Also; this version does not implement the random spawn (10% chance to spawn a 4 instead of a 2)

Still impressive for it's size though.

TobbenTM··on Codekit 2 is out
Reading the testimonies made me wonder if this whole thing was a joke or not.

Looks cool otherwise though...
