_lce0··on Nintendo signals end for Wii U
> [...] it wasn't until the Tokyo Game Show last year that it was unveiled to the general public. I was up on stage at that event, and I still vividly remember the silence that followed the video that introduced the controller.

The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPK3WxUH8Qg

_lce0··on ZeroPhone – A Raspberry Pi smartphone
Been thinking about the implication of Moore law (in the broad sense) and how easy it's to reinvent the wheel using cheap electronics nowadays.

Giving this trend, how far are we from google/facebook/apple/whatever to start giving away hardware for free?

It's not so far fetched to envision such devices to be heavily hostile, for regular users, and makers or tinkerers alike.

_lce0··on Graphviz in the browser
Nice work!

I needed to use something to render directed graph in the browser and the biggest problem was the download size.

This library is 851KB gzip, which is way better than the 1.3MB I was using.

Maybe being able to bundle the engines (and output format) as separate modules could reduce its size?

So once again, great work!

_lce0··on Show HN: Wick – A free and open-source creation suite
Good work!

I been thinking about self-replicating systems and seems to me that the web could be a great medium for them.

A tool that's capable to build itself.

_lce0··on ADsafe – Making JavaScript Safe for Advertising
The minimum set of `+!()[]` chars are proven to be TC [0]

So good luck trying to define a non-TC js-subset that allows to use these chars.

_lce0··on Support for better symlink handling in Windows 10
How far till windows ships with a whole linux's kernel down there?
_lce0··on Zero Cost Abstractions
OT and not sure if you're the author.. but what a beautifully designed website!
_lce0··on Toast sandwich
When I was child, my grandmother used to cook this recipe for me:

    *. put oil to heat

    1. lightly beat a couple of eggs
    2. add provenzal, as you like it
    3. wet a piece of bread in there
    4. and quickly throw it on the oil
    5. fry for a bit and turn the bread around
    5. enjoy :)
It was one of these mini family rituals that later on I came to understand how much happiness it brought to my life.
_lce0··on Does your mind jump around, stay on task or get stuck?
I've been doing a lot of Duolinguo and it works like wonders to start picking a new language but then, at some point, it becomes repetitive and boring.

How do you deal with it?

_lce0··on Virtualize OS X on Linux
Honest question: do you need Apple hardware? Or Apple OS?

Nowadays linux can certainly run on Apple hardware without any extra effort

_lce0··on ​How to Send an Email in 1984
Aww The last part, the one in which they transmit software encoded as sounds is such invitation to hack!!

I wish to have the time! or to be Saturday -- is not fair to post this on a Monday :)

_lce0··on Lesser known Git commands

    [alias]
      pull = push
      push = pull
:)
_lce0··on Use caps lock as a language switch
This is a great tip for chromebooks users, as these machine dont have such key!
_lce0··on NoFAQ – A tool that corrects your console commands
Indeed curation is required, as an example you forgot to include ..

    --no-preserve-root

_lce0··on France orders Microsoft to stop tracking Windows 10 users
"I will tell you my secret plans to world domination, but first need you to do something for me. OK? Google this for me and ..."
_lce0··on Contextual Identities on the Web
Next step: build a plug in to automate the self vote up!
_lce0··on “autocomplete=off is ignored on non-login input elements”
I agree.

And nothing prevents us from dropping, on ~/.js

    setTimeout(() => {
      Array.from(
        document.querySelectorAll('[autocomplete]')
      ).forEach(
        el => el.removeAttribute('autocomplete')
      );
    }, 250);
_lce0··on Links sent privately through Facebook Messenger can be read by anyone
Agree.

Plus he has given lot of pointers so it's a matter of time someone find the comment and start trial-and-error to discover how to exploit the bug.

_lce0··on The sudo fraud
It is so good to have visual clues. I do something similar, using..

    red = root
    yellow = others (or ssh)
    green = me
Plus when I'm SSH'ing to a remote box, it usually defaults to white prompt
_lce0··on Common shell script mistakes (2008)
If you're on Sublime, this works like a charm!

_lce0··on Goto in bash (2012)
haha great timing!

This morning I was scraping the images from the 2016 report and given they were like ~230 images I thought it could be cool to download them in parallel, but I quickly realized this would lead to such path and downloaded these in serial.

I still wonder what's the _right way_

_lce0··on Dijkstra: My Recollections of Operating System Design (2001) [pdf]
Many times I wondered how OSes relates to Conway's law:

    Any piece of software reflects the organizational structure that produced it.
Do OSes reflect the society that built these?

If we have "Operative Systems", are we ever get "Management Systems" or "Directive Systems"?

_lce0··on Safename: restricting “dangerous” file names

   mkdir some-test
   cd some-test
   mkdir some-dir
   echo foo > some-dir/some-file
   echo bar > -Rf
   ls -l
   rm *
   ls -l
_lce0··on How Technology Hijacks People’s Minds
I have joked many times that I would gladly pay more to have less food served.

I find most served dishes are too big for me, and end up sharing w someone.. but sometimes that's not an option, so it will be good not to waste half of the food, even of it cost more to me.

_lce0··on Show HN: See what the internet thinks about any topic, based on Google queries
Chrome has replaced IE on the web mono-culture :'(
_lce0··on Please collapse HN comments
On one hand, yes please.

On the other, the experience is way better lately.

Do you remember the "expired link"?

_lce0··on Google I/O 2016 Live Keynote
I wonder if they are going to hijack every URL? I hope they enable some sort of opt-out. I want URLs to keep sending people to the right place, the web.

There's already dozens of pages that detects you're on a phone and send you directly to the play store and that you need to bypass using the "request desktop page" just to get access. Or event worst, sites that say let's make the mobile version less accessible while telling people it's better to install the app (Linkedin I'm looking at you)

This seems like a new step to give more power to publishers than to empower users.

Even during the presentation they said "We want you [developers] to be in control of the experience"

_lce0··on It takes 3170 hours to hide condoms in a porn movie
Arrrg autoplay video with sound and narrator taking loud.

What could go wrong? I had the volume at max.

_lce0··on Who Pays Writers?
Even better, sometimes we get paid to remove tokens!
_lce0··on Coming Soon: New .Blog Domains for Websites
The only want money.

That this TLD is called ".blog" is a nice marketing stunt from them --a very clever one!
