chrisallick··on Bomb Jack display hardware
jesus dude... thats amazing.
chrisallick··on Show HN: I made a tiny camera with super long battery life
Just bought one. Not totally sure how I'll use it, but we shall see.

I think addressing the waterproofing, glass blocking motion sensor, or the non-wirelessness will improve it...

wow this is now the 9th time someone has built this lol

When you care more about it working or what others think, stop.

"Always get out of the saddle smiling, or you won't get back on."

chrisallick··on Dolphin-2_6-Phi-2
also came here looking for explanation. curious.
chrisallick··on Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes
bummer. flawless on my iphone. go into reader mode, its still a great read.
chrisallick··on Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes
wow. what a great mobile read xp to match a great story. reminds of reading "in the beginning was the command line."
chrisallick··on Write shaders for the (sim) Vegas sphere
It's so fun to copy and paste these on the shader sim :)

It would be fun to make a little click and see microsite like: http://recodeproject.com/

chrisallick··on Grav is a modern open-source flat-file CMS
came here to say this. i went all over looking for a replacement... just pay for it. its exactly what you want. i built https://2020isasong.com/ on kirby and tries to rebuild with grav and ended up deciding kirby was just too good.
chrisallick··on Tumblr’s core product strategy
I call bs on this strategy being consumer centric. They couldn't monetize "enough." They're saying they had a product problem, but not for their users. Tumblr was lovely, just didn't have the gross design patterns that drive the level/type of usage that advertisers want. Reddit has the same issue and you see them prying the product out of the hands of their users. Lol, also yes to that comment, let the NSFW fly free.
chrisallick··on Show HN: Serverless VPN, pay as you go, unlimited devices, no subscriptions
Does it work on airplanes and websites that actively detect/deny vpn servers? any ad block features?
chrisallick··on How can I get my boyfriend to stop digging his tunnel?

chrisallick··on What hacking AOL taught a generation of programmers
i got started in coding making progz for aol in 4th grade. changed my life. great read!
chrisallick··on [dead]
honestly, more ads than words/thoughts on this page.
chrisallick··on The Graphical User Interface History
you might enjoy In The Beginning Was The Command Line by Neil Stephenson. Author of Diamond Age and Snowcrash.
chrisallick··on OpenWorm
at first glance i thought this would be an opensource virus. which is a fun idea because as its updated it inspires people to patch their code. or an opensource virus that patches vulnerabilities is also fun.
chrisallick··on Do you really need Redis? How to get away with just PostgreSQL
interesting... im in opposite camp. do you really need anything other than key/value store and a data structure? ive used redis exclusively for close to a decade.
chrisallick··on Urbit: The good, the bad, and the insane
you should rewrite "bit of history" => "urbit of history"

can't let a pun like that go.

chrisallick··on Than Average
fantastic design
chrisallick··on The Gates to Hell: Apple’s Notarizing
What a fantastic write up. So many of us are familiar with the "quirky" parts of the apple development ecosystem and the self-gaslighting effect of trying to solve problems that are non-existent and yet persistent.

This really captured the constant "wtf" of building against the sloppy moving target.

But... its still better than a lot of toolchains/ecosystems, and when it all does work, for 1 month a year lol, it's great!

chrisallick··on Launch HN: Bristle (YC W21) – At-home microbiome test to improve oral health
yeah but do you give access to information that comes from users engaging with your service?

is your revenue generated from anything other than products and dtc services?

ive just become skeptical of any company suggesting they can be profitable/have a future without a data pipeline that allows others to buy their data, run analysis on data, build models on data.

and i believe in the near future we run a real risk of insurance prices being based on dna and models of health built on user data.

anyways, blah blah blah, seems like a great idea!
