ciniglio··on Ask HN: How to cope with the death of a dear person?
I recommend "A Guide to the Good Life" by William Irvine. The title is a bit off-putting, but it gives a good survey of the philosophy and history of stoicism along with good examples of applying it to modern life. After reading it, you might have a better sense of which primary sources will be most relevant to what you're looking for.
ciniglio··on iPhone X
They are much harder to sterilize, and autoclaves don't work. Ideally you'd dispose all tools exposed to prions, but if that's infeasible, the CDC recommends an autoclave in a bath of NaOH.

ciniglio··on Impossible Java
I think it's a common expectation that a disassembler should provide output that is valid to be compiled, and that therefore this is an error.
ciniglio··on How to allocate memory
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "Giving up the malloc() interface"?
ciniglio··on Preliminary NTSB report on Tesla crash
Maybe related to the fact that the battery was disengaged due to the impact?
ciniglio··on Twenty years of free software – part 3 myrepos
It's ikiwiki, created by the author.

ciniglio··on Apps made for one OS shouldn't insist on aping the design elements of another
1) This is true on the mac too, but it's option instead of ctrl. (option + arrows, option + shift + arrows). It's certainly not common for apps to break this afaik.
ciniglio··on Reason: A new interface to OCaml
Looks like their plan is to reuse the ocaml compiler backends that output javascript; but it doesn't sound like they're doing anything explicit to promote Reason -> Javascript compilation.
ciniglio··on Reason: A new interface to OCaml
I think it's a new frontend for the OCaml compiler. Allowing reuse of the backend / similar semantics, but with different syntax.
ciniglio··on What Is the Secure Enclave?
On an iPhone, you can update the OS from recovery (aka DFU) mode, without it being unlocked.
ciniglio··on Introducing the Keybase filesystem
I'd love one if you still have any.

ciniglio··on Ask HN: Who's using Clojure in production?
We use it at Adaptly for data processing and to build http APIs
ciniglio··on Show HN: Clojure in the Open – simple tasks from open-source projects
This is a really cool idea, and I like the newsletter layout. My only critique is that it's not immediately clear what the site is for, and the paragraph that spells it out (top-left), is not in a position that I would tend to read first (I went logo then skim "Art of the Propogator" quote). It may be worth considering giving that paragraph a more prominent place, at least for the first few editions (or maybe just the web version, since presumably people know why they gave you their email address).
ciniglio··on How to see your iOS8 health data
MyFitnessPal just released an update that integrates with Health today.

ciniglio··on Transit – A format for conveying values between different languages
It's basically a format that lets you transmit data somewhat more extensibly than JSON would on its own (and doesn't take a huge performance hit).

This means that you can for example, transmit an array of dates and not need to worry about parsing the dates in the right location when you receive them.

Additionally, it's extensible, so you can define formats for any domain specific data that you're dealing with, if you need to.

ciniglio··on Transit – A format for conveying values between different languages
They're suggesting not using this for storage at the moment since the spec is still in flux. But I think once the spec stabilizes, that seems reasonable.

The actual spec is here: https://github.com/cognitect/transit-format
ciniglio··on Side Tabs: Prototyping An Unexpected Productivity Hack
Safari does something very similar on 10.9. I think it looks at the titles of all the tabs and tries to find the sections that have least commonality between them (not just common prefix).
ciniglio··on GoRails – Ruby on Rails screencasts for web developers
http://www.metacasts.tv/ from a poster above
ciniglio··on The new bower.io
That's an interesting idea. Does it work well with non-js repositories?
ciniglio··on Apple Introduces iOS 8
Recipient I think
ciniglio··on Mac keyboard shortcuts
[0]: http://most-advantageous.com/optimal-layout/

Agreed. Optimal layout is great, I can't recommend it highly enough. Watching the video on the site gives you a good idea of all the things you can do with it. Also the developer is very responsive to support questions and feature requests.

ciniglio··on Uncle Bob on DHH: Monogamous TDD
Testing algorithms is easy, yes, but it's usually not clear that TDD would lead you to design the optimal algorithm.
ciniglio··on Today is World Backup Day – a friendly reminder to backup and check restores
Do you do anything to check against corruption (e.g. bit flipping)? I've been experimenting with md5deep recently to accomplish this, but it's a little time-consuming. I'd be very interested in hearing about more efficient ways of dealing with this problem.
ciniglio··on “Doo – the document app” will be shutting down
Have you read "Paperless" by David Sparks? It addresses a lot of what you're asking for and has several suggestions for workflows that could achieve your goal.

ciniglio··on Microsoft paying YouTubers for Xbox One mentions
This doesn't mention anything about giving hardware to anyone. All this talks about is how Apple plans leaks of information...
ciniglio··on Why does Google prepend while(1); to their JSON responses?
So does this solve the problem with using remote JS templates (advocated by DHH and 37s), what was outlined here [1]?

ciniglio··on Don't Support Information Architects
Why not buy phraseology 2 instead, if the features are so similar?
