arcaster··on The Home Office Is Dying
I'm a huge proponent of having separate physical spaces to relax and do work in, a big part of this for me is adding more space or effort between myself and possible distractions.
arcaster··on A cloud images processing platform
I remember coming across a blog post for a company that built some of the first rack mount cases for the latest Mac Pro (the trash can one), that had a similar hosted service to thumber. I'll link to it if I can find it.
arcaster··on Best Wifi Mesh Network Kits
I run a handful of Unifi AP's, I've been running the control panel on a vm on my server for a while, but I really like your idea of running the controller on AWS.

I also love the MikroTik router with wifi I have back home though.

arcaster··on Theranos Sued for Alleged Fraud by Robertson Stephens Co-Founder Colman
The Theranos story seems to get darker by the week...
arcaster··on Light and Thin 64-bit ARM Based Open Source Notebook
As tempting as this device is, I'll be keeping my late 2015 rMBP as my daily driver for now.
arcaster··on Donald Trump Is Elected President
I agree, although I did not support Trump I hope this shows supporters of PC and SJW culture that attacking people not their ideas doesn't enact real change. More importantly the notion that ethics and morals are separate from opinions and feelings.
arcaster··on Peter Thiel Speaks at the National Press Club – Live Stream
Currently in class, anyone been capturing the stream? I'd definitely be interested in an offline version.
arcaster··on Ask HN: What is your favorite internet rabbit hole?
/r/datahoarder and /r/controllablewebcams
arcaster··on CHIP Pro
"Chip" has to be one of the worst names possible in terms of branding, especially when beginners google for tutorials...
arcaster··on Boeing CEO Vows to Beat Musk to Mars
Seems like this is a side-effect Musk intended for. Competition of this kind is always positive.
arcaster··on Ask HN: Anyone making a living off of desktop applications?
I've considered creating an app with node.js and electron to turn my current soundcloud archiving script into a desktop app. It makes taking essentially all of someone's soundcloud and archives everything with proper ID3 tags, also tracks updates to your playlists and likes.

Initially I built this to archive indy music and prevent losing tracks that people removed from their soundcloud pages.

This project would require some major legal hurdles, which is why I've never really built it as a proper desktop app.

arcaster··on LED Light Pollution: Can We Save Energy and Save the Night? (2015)
I wrote a paper for a sociology class in college focussing not only on light pollution, but the fact that many historians believe that certain cultural and aesthetic attributes of cities and surrounding urban areas are lost when the warm glow of HPS lights is replaced with stark white LEDs.
arcaster··on Ditching tmux
I don't think so. This is why I primarily still use tmux, although I've recently been messing around with i3 and AwesomeWM on my linux box, which is superior to tmux. DTVM seems to be gaining ground, it's just not quite as feature rich as tmux.
arcaster··on XFINITY from Comcast vs. Google Fiber
This page could be summed up by "proprietary content Comcast holds licensing for" and "who cares about the internet part that does the fast internet?".
