bubblesorting··on VW Toys with Giving Up the U.S. Mass Market, and Dealers Fume
I agree with Golf being the exception. I love my (mk7) GTI, and still smile when driving it--a year after buying.

Tried a (United States) Passat for about a week, and it felt like a waterbed on wheels :( not sure if it was "because rental" or if that's how they are; any owners care to comment??

bubblesorting··on Show HN: Freeciv-Earth play anywhere on earth
This is awesome!!! Thank you!
bubblesorting··on Show HN: Freeciv-Earth play anywhere on earth
Looks cool, but I get a Network error, "Unable to communicate with the civclientlauncher servlet. Error: error OK null". Do I have to install something first?

Edit: I've never played Freeciv before

bubblesorting··on What happens when you talk about salaries at Google
Nope, /much/ better to light up my phone 30 times. ;)
bubblesorting··on Show HN: Universal Pause Button
Focus-follows-mouse doesn't work so great in OSX because of the global menubar, everywhere else it's great though!
bubblesorting··on Kore: a fast web server for writing web apps in C
I'm not trying to antagonize here, but what do you find so bad? I would call it a little bit more painful; three lines to add to an nginx config, along with generating the cert. Maybe 10 minutes of work? Thirty if you're getting a CA to sign your cert for you. I could see pain if you need to wait for finance to approve, or if you're trying to get domains validated on behalf of a customer. And I suppose it adds another setup step to wireshark (if you need to debug neat bugs), but that's a set-it-up-once-and-forget-about-it thing.
bubblesorting··on Unix Tricks
For zsh:

  for cmd in $(compgen -c); do if [[ $cmd =~ ^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$ ]]; then eval "alias $cmd\?='man $cmd'"    ; fi; done
# had to escape the ? in the alias name

Cool trick :)

Cool! Thanks!

Looks like it could be a cool presentation but mid-hangover-me can't deal with the cube effect. ;) Is there a boring slide version available?
bubblesorting··on Why I'm turning JavaScript off by default
In my experience, the Spotify desktop app has spotty[1]-at-best linux support, but the webapp seems to do fine.

[1] HAH!

bubblesorting··on Why Putting SSH On Another Port is a Good Idea
Better yet, put a firewall in front of sshd and only allow connections from your management network ;)
