aphistic··on What is wrong with Microsoft buying GitHub
Using Optimus is a horrible experience in Linux. I just turned off the discrete graphics because it was power hungry.
aphistic··on Meet the startups racing to reinvent the meal
They're just not the "latest and greatest" any more. They've been around for awhile and it's just business as usual. They still have a number of consumers and they just started selling in brick-and-mortar stores (I believe it was WalMart).
aphistic··on Go's New Brand
Around the time exploits needed fancy names.
aphistic··on Ask HN: Is Go taking over the startup scene?
> Hyped up stuff like Docker & co are the few written in Go and often not mature and stable enough for enterprise.

Haha, you're funny!

Natural Selection?
aphistic··on Chrome is turning into the new Internet Explorer 6
I switched back to Firefox when Quantum came out and so far I've run into two sites that don't work in Firefox but work fine in Chrome: The Home Assistant web interface (at least the log in page, I can't get past that) and the UniFi cloud management site (it works fine locally).
aphistic··on Show HN: Sandglass – Distributed, scalable, persistent time-sorted message queue
I hadn't heard of Pulsar before but just checked it out as we use Kafka. Does it support replaying messages from an offset (or even better, a time) like Kafka does? I looked at the docs but it didn't seem like it did.
aphistic··on A Farewell to Go
It's not subjective when the language dictates that's how it's to be done. Coding style changes based on the language you're writing in, Go just happens to have a very strict style.
aphistic··on Apple staffers reportedly rebelling against open office plan
Or it should serve as a warning that you need to turn the volume down.
aphistic··on Crick, a time-tracker dashboard, goes open-source
They said half of Org mode. It might be the other half that's actually the important part. :)
aphistic··on Rust's 2017 roadmap, six months in
I don't think I follow you. Can't you create namespaces using modules?
aphistic··on Jonathan Oxer Needs a Job
Maybe they're not "requirements" then?
aphistic··on Google’s breakdown of what Americans don’t know how to spell, state by state
As someone from Wesconson I have to say I'm appalled by this representation of my state!
aphistic··on Yellow-Light Crusader Fined for Doing Math Without a License
> I could care less

Obviously not an engineer.

aphistic··on Netflix Replacing Star Ratings with Thumbs Ups and Thumbs Downs
Wouldn't that be what a thumbs up/down would be? Thumbs up - loved it, thumbs down - hated it, don't click the thumb - meh.
aphistic··on Nintendo Switch – New Video Game System [video]
They looked like they're basically small Wii controllers.
aphistic··on WikiLeaks says Assange's Internet link was severed by 'state party'
That must've been some party!
aphistic··on Why Americans don't take sick days
They've gotta show up. How else would anyone know they were doing stuff if they didn't make up meetings to attend?
aphistic··on Bay Area Startups Find Low-Cost Outposts in Arizona
Yeah because only Hillary supporters are intelligent, duh. I'm not sure why that comment hasn't been downvoted into oblivion yet for being WAAAAAY off topic.
aphistic··on IBM model-M keyboard sound emulation to annoy co-workers
I have an Ergodox I picked up from MassDrop that I absolutely love. I used to use an MS natural keyboard for some of the same reasons you mention and now I have the best of both worlds!
aphistic··on Matt LeBlanc to Be Top Gear Co-Presenter
Yup! That's where we are!
aphistic··on Three hundred programming interviews in thirty days
Like getting a job?
aphistic··on Install OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox
> And hopefully you made a USB install stick first, since they don't ship with install media anymore.

As if anybody actually does that any more? I just bought a new ThinkPad and it didn't even come with a manual, just a little sheet of paper telling me where to find the PDFs.

aphistic··on How the #$% do I program the Parallella?
Since nobody else has responded I figured I'd try to give you at least a little feedback.

Based on your username I'm not sure if you're asking about using the boards themselves with the frameworks or the frameworks in general?

If you're talking about the boards, I can say from my experience that it's definitely an interesting product and I've wanted to mess around with it but the price point is a bit high for my hobbyist interest in it. If I wanted to play around with things like OpenCL I would do it on my current GPU instead. For something where I need small with GPIO I would use a Raspberry Pi instead.

For the frameworks... They're things I've also wanted to play with but haven't found a good use for yet. Erlang and OpenCL are two that are near the top of my list.

I'm curious, though, what are your thoughts on it?

aphistic··on Tmux 2.0 released
Would doing <bind>D (note the casing) help? It will list all the currently attached sessions and allow you to remotely disconnect them. I use it when I forget to detach at home and I'm at work or vice versa.
aphistic··on Ask HN: Do you prefer to learn by watching videos or by reading books/articles?
Both, plus doing. I like watching a video to get an overview of what I'm learning is and what it does, then I start my own project using what I'm learning and read up on things that I need to know to get my project finished.
aphistic··on Lowly DSL poised for gigabit speed boost
(*) If you're within 50m of the fiber.
aphistic··on HBO is finally going to let you watch its shows without cable
I canceled my Hulu+ subscription once they started telling me I wasn't allowed to watch shows on my iPad... The ENTIRE reason I signed up for it in the first place. I even put up with them still showing me ads, but "web only" shows were the last straw.
aphistic··on A ‘Tetris’ Movie Is in the Works
It's hazy, but I think I can see my future. In it I'm cringing at the screen while I watch a guy hurriedly re-arranging boxes in the back of a semi trying to find the box with the bomb in it before it goes off.
aphistic··on Mineception – MINECRAFT IN MINECRAFT
Minecraft has a very basic "electronics" system called redstone that allows you to create basic structures like AND/OR/XOR gates with various wire, torches (devices that power other things), switches and buttons. What they did is take this basic system and make a game that runs within the game using them.

There are some mods for the game that give easier access to higher level structures (single block gates, for example), so it may have used those but I can't tell from this page.
