chrishas35··on Play-by-Play: Trying to make it as a sports commentator
I no longer have a proper surround system, but when I was able to mute the center speaker to create the effect. Not sure if broadcasters have changed their mix to prevent this from being possible.
chrishas35··on Apple VP: The FBI wants to roll back safeguards that keep us ahead of criminals
Doesn't take a lot of time and expense to figure out how to use a drill...
chrishas35··on GitHub under ongoing DDoS attack
What service wouldn't be susceptible to such an attack? The only way to avoid it would be to not put your [code|website|etc] on the internet. That seems a bit extreme.
chrishas35··on Show HN: OS X menu bar app for managing your boot2docker VM
+1 for click to result in a dropdown.

Great functionality and information! Just needs a bit of tweaking to the UX.

chrishas35··on The new MacBook
With all of those peripherals, I think it's clear you're not the intended market for this specific device and its single port strategy.
chrishas35··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
Same here. Looks like "TypeError: secret required" from the heroku logs.
chrishas35··on My Synology NAS has been hacked by ransomware calling itself Synolocker
I've been pondering the idea of a more feature rich router/firewall device for my home connection. Something that would do like you say report, log, audit, etc. Any suggestions for specific model or models to look at?
chrishas35··on The story behind football's innovative yellow first down line
The yellow lines marks the line to gain for a first down, not the line of scrimmage. Some broadcasts are showing the line of scrimmage now usually as red or blue IIRC, but yellow is used across the board for the line to gain.
chrishas35··on Bitbucket Outage
Bitbucket is apparently using statuspage.io for their status reporting. So it is using the statuspage.io certificate....the error is a domain name mismatch.
chrishas35··on Get information about any country via a RESTful API
The callingcode endpoint only returns one result even when there is more than one that qualifies, as is the case with 1 and USA and Canada (and others that are part of the North American Numbering Plan)
chrishas35··on Firepoker.io - Planning Poker built with AngularJS and Firebase
Very cool! We were just discussing the need for something like this as we have a hybrid on-site/virtual team so our Planning Poker meetings become a bit difficult.

Couple of suggestions: 1) Allow flexible cards...the numbers we tend to use are slightly different 2) Allow mass import of stories once the game has started. Ideally I'd have one persistent URL that I can use in our recurring invite, instead of having to create a new game every time we enter planning. But since I can only do a bulk import when creating a new game I'd have to get a new URL each time.

chrishas35··on How I develop Django projects
I used pythonbrew for a while, but as I moved into testing apps with multiple versions of python (via tox), using pythonbrew's executables became more trouble than it was worth.

Because of that, I've gone back to using homebrew to compile multiple versions of python and letting tox utilize those. Homebrew takes care of pip & distribute so adding virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper is a simple oneliner after the fact.

chrishas35··on Show HN: Most Wikipedia articles lead to the same loop
Someone just changed the Reason page [1] which is now putting the focus on Biology instead of Philosophy.

chrishas35··on Show HN: App creates a meal plan that satisfies your nutrition constraints
Looks like there are samples now available on the Registration page.

chrishas35··on How I Store My 1's and 0′s: ZFS + Bargain HP Microserver = Joy
Not sure about the ReadyNAS ProBusiness, but my NV+ has a USB port that I can plug an external drive in to, push the backup button, and in just a little bit I'll have a drive suitable for taking off-site. The FrontView web interface has a simple way to configure what the backup button does. Very simple.

It also runs Linux under the hood, and I've been able to configure CrashPlan for off-site backups of some key files too.

chrishas35··on Show HN: Stallion - Python Package Manager
It works in a virtualenv, but it does not seem to work at a global level across multiple virtualenvs. Unless I'm missing an undocumented feature, it only shows the packages for the currently activated virtualenv and doesn't allow you to specify a different (or multiple) envs. As the original commenter said, it'd be nice to have a view of all virtualenvs on the system broken up per env.
chrishas35··on Heroku's new, free PostgreSQL 9.1 development database
Likewise. I asked about something between dev and the $200/mo. Ronin plan on twitter and received a rather snarky reply about how I was assuming there wouldn't be other plans announced in the future.

Maybe it's just me, but if you're going to announce the depreciation of a solution at a TBD date with no indication of what the advanced warning period would be, and this is the only thing you announce along side that, I think it's fair for people to ask about the gap they see. The announcement of any planned non-dev plans should have been right alongside the announcement that removes functionality; otherwise anxiety is a given.

chrishas35··on Luadns, managed DNS with Git and Lua scriptable back-end.
Thanks for the reply. I look forward to switching over as soon as you are able to implement AXFR.
chrishas35··on Luadns, managed DNS with Git and Lua scriptable back-end.
Any chance of you guys allowing AXFR transfers? I really like the ideas behind the service, however, I have reservations about moving production DNS given your relatively young age. Being able to have secondary DNS elsewhere eliminates the risk of switching over but maintains all the upside of your excellent interface.
