Which is?
dcgoss··on July was the hottest month ever recorded, according to Nasa
Not sure about the downvotes, that's pretty funny.
dcgoss··on What Apple should tell you when you lose your iPhone
Wow, this is a pretty great idea. However, I feel it would be difficult to track the thief down with only a fingerprint. Also someone is going to complain about the privacy/security implisecurity of sending fingerprint data through the internet.
dcgoss··on iPhone, iPad and Mac sales are down, but Apple only cares about services now
My two cents: I have used an Apple Watch every day for the past year, and I love it.
dcgoss··on DuckDuckGo announces partnership with Yahoo
Ok, that makes sense.

Ironically, your name is organic_tech34. For the record, the term "organic" is regulated by the USDA.
dcgoss··on Twilio's Seed Pitch
Does anyone have a video of this?
dcgoss··on Passenger drones are hovering over the horizon
(U)nmanned (A)erial (V)ehicle = UAV. A manned UAV would be a bit of an oxymoron.
dcgoss··on Mongolia is changing all its addresses to three-word phrases
That would be perfect! Awesome comment.
dcgoss··on OS X is now macOS and gets support for Siri, auto unlock
Absolutely if there's a bug, there's a bug. By "overstate bugginess" I meant that some people speak as though the software is so buggy that it is difficult to use the computer (example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11895916). I personally have had a very smooth and pain-free experience with OS X/macOS 99% of the time, and many people I know have a similarly smooth experience.
dcgoss··on OS X is now macOS and gets support for Siri, auto unlock
In the past year since El Capitan I have had essentially zero major issues with the software. I feel that most of the time programmers tend to overstate the bugginess of Apple software - most users I know have a consistently smooth experience.
dcgoss··on Apple announces iOS 10
Green bubble = SMS. Blue bubble = iMessage (data only, doesn't count towards text limits). I would assume the app would only let you use the new features with other iMessage users.

Their net income is 0.6% of their valuation.

Took the words out of my mouth.
dcgoss··on Pastejacking
This is somewhat terrifying. My fear is that a prankster will make the pasted command be `rm -rf / \n'
dcgoss··on Brane Craft
I think we should have a new unit of measurement called the Elon. "He traveled about 45 million Elons at a rate of 25 kiloelons per second"
dcgoss··on GCE down in all regions
Absolutely. GCP has been fantastic.
dcgoss··on GCE down in all regions
For the record, the Kubernetes dashboard comes pre-installed on all masters on GKE. So the UI is there, albeit not integrated into the Gcloud console.
dcgoss··on Medium and Twitter founder: ‘We put junk food in front of them and they eat it’
While I understand your position, I'm not so sure that Google, Facebook, and Twitter would look the same today if they charged each user directly for access.
dcgoss··on Schools Are Slow to Learn That Sleep Deprivation Hits Teenagers Hardest
I'm currently a sophomore at Harriton High School in PA. Here's what my day looks like. Ideally wake up around 6:20, sometimes I oversleep to 6:40-6:50. Wake up, shower, breakfast if there's time (when I wake up too late, I'll grab some Clif bars on the way out). Run to bus stop, bus comes at 7:02. School starts at 7:30. 6 classes a day, an hour each. Lunch starts around 10:45. School ends at 2:40, sports start at 3:00. Sports normally go until 5:30, occasionally 4:30. I go to bed around 11:30-12.

You can fill in false data if you like, they aren't checking.

Buckle your seatbelts!
dcgoss··on Desmos Graphing Calculator – HTML5 with LaTeX editor
I'm actually amazed that this is news to the HN crowd. Desmos is in the standard vocabulary of many students.
dcgoss··on Swift 2.2 Released
I want to use Appcode, but the support/autocomplete for swift is just not as good as XCode.
dcgoss··on Swift 2.2 Released
I have been using https://www.spectacleapp.com/ for a while now, and it has performed like a champ. Easy window resizing and organization with keyboard shortcuts.
dcgoss··on No More Full Table Vacuums in PostgreSQL
I was considering deploying Postgres (as a container) into a Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes takes care of service discovery, networking, persistent disk mounting, moving the container if a server goes down, etc.

Wouldn't you have similar problems with Postgres without the container?

dcgoss··on No More Full Table Vacuums in PostgreSQL
Could you elaborate on this? I was considering using containers for a PG installation but am reevaluating.
dcgoss··on What's the Best Cloud? Probably GCP
Not sure. Perhaps that was a low priority because it is already running/can be deployed on Kubernetes fairly easily.
