devNoise··on The Mac Pro Lives
The trash can was a neat design. The problem was is that Apple came up a design that was wrong for the market that wants a Mac Pro. This is a market that wants to upgrade and expand their computers. They want to add some of the largest capacity hard drives they can find. They'll put in an expansion card or two. The GPU that would be fine for me until I bought a new computer, they'll want to replace it next year.

I don't think the tower will be that hard to design. I think the issue will be in making a new motherboard. Or do you think, they'll just use one of Intel's designs?

devNoise··on The F-35 still has a long way to go
I haven't kept up on the F-35 lately. But this is a jet made of compromises. The Pentagon knew they couldn't get funding for multiple new jets. The F-35 is trying to do to much by being a jet for the Air Force, Navy and Marines. So they combined all the requirements for the specification. Combining the requirements of the Air Force and Navy probably isn't so bad. The Marines requirement of the F-35 being VTOL capable is holding the design back. I accept that VTOL is a key requirement for the Marines, but the F-35 has made a lot of trade offs for that feature. While I don't know how successful the F-35 would be without VTOL, it has to be better then what is being delivered.
devNoise··on Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2017
I liked gulp, but it does seem like webpack has the mindshare going forward. If your using the Angular CLI then your project is using webpack.

For #3, I say skip jQuery and go with Vanilla JavaScript ala https://javascript30.com

Every green browser have pretty good JavaScript support. document.getElementById will be your friend.

devNoise··on Building a Hackintosh Pro
You touch on what I miss about the old days from Apple, the "speed bumps". Apple used to make updates to the Macs a bit more often then they do these days. A lot of the time the updates weren't much more then a slightly faster CPU and maybe a new graphics. I don't expect completely new designs every year, but it boggles my mind why Apple won't put in better CPUs that are pin compatible with their motherboards.
devNoise··on Abandoned Apple Store in Kuwait
I'm pretty sure that one of the pictures has a PowerMac 7500 in it.

I owned one and thought it was a great mac at the time. Bought it used from work. With the CPU boards I was able to upgrade it a couple times. Believe I put in a 603, dual 604e and finally a G3.

devNoise··on The Correct Way to Validate Email Addresses
I've been using various emails on a personal domain for different sites. Some time this year Six Flags put in an email check and I can't register my season pass anymore. They give the following error:

We were unable to finish validating your connection with the "*.net" email server.

Yet I've been signed up for the pass holder announcements and get the email on a regular basis.

devNoise··on WTF is … crowdfunding?
"...crowdfunding campaigns are mini-startups in their own right." Seems like a campaign need to have their on lean canvas before you start one and it could even be considered another MVP for your startup.
devNoise··on New MacBook Pro with Touch ID sensor and OLED mini screen is coming soon
While I get the delay on refreshes, it seems like Apple should be able to push out some speed bumps on more frequent basis. I still think the MacBook Pro should have an RJ-45 port instead of having to buy a dongle. Use that extra space to put a bigger battery in the thing. HDMI is not going anywhere and think dropping that port is a mistake. Or is there a new AV port that is going to take over our TVs?
devNoise··on Angular 2 Style Guide
Just to follow up. John Papa's original style guide was create after he had experience with building Angular 1 apps and got feedback from other developers. An Angular 2 style guide can't be fully formed right now because no one really knows what all of the best practices are yet. As all of us get more experience using Angular 2, the style guide will get better.
devNoise··on Angular 2 Style Guide
Angular 1 is now up to 1.5.x and still has on going development. I think people have been scared away from learning Angular 1 because of the Angular 2 announcement. I'm trying to remember the details, but I believe support for Angular 1 will continue for a couple more years.
devNoise··on What Is the I Ching?
It was present in the Amazon series, but not as significant as the novel. For the series, it seems that only the Japanese used it. Tagomi, the trade minister was seen to be a strong practitioner in the series. Where in the novel it seems to be used by all people in the Pacific States of America.
devNoise··on Chocolate intake is associated with better cognitive function
And remember that dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate.
devNoise··on Oristand – A New Kind of Stand Up Desk
While a cheaper option, it isn't easy to remove when you want to sit down.
devNoise··on Oristand – A New Kind of Stand Up Desk
This looks good if you're using a laptop. Unfortunately this doesn't work as well for people with a large monitor or dual monitor setup.
devNoise··on A Beginner's Guide to Scaling to 11M+ Users on Amazon's AWS
I went to a meetup about 2 years ago and one of the engineers from CloudMine gave a talk about load balancing on AWS. CloudMine ended up dumping ELB for HAProxy to handle their scaling needs.
devNoise··on Vagrant 1.8 released
Any idea how this feature will work with base box's images that are regularly updated? I've been using ubuntu/trusty64 and it seems to get an update at least once a week.
devNoise··on Koel: A personal music streaming server
I agree. PHP isn't as sexy as node.js or rails. Though the project is using PHP 5.5.9, composer and the Laravel framework. It seems like author is making an effort to make good PHP code. The only thing he could have done to make the code base cooler for PHP was to use HHVM.
devNoise··on Show HN: Ponzi.es – Startup sticker ponzi scheme
That moment you see this and then wonder where your pile of stickers went.
devNoise··on Apple Releases First Battery Case to Eat Third-Party Accessory Makers’ Lunch
Instead of having a case like this, I would settle for an iPhone than was a little thicker. I see diminishing return on going thinner. Just put some more battery in the phone.
devNoise··on Lakka – DIY retro emulation console
That helps out. Of course I have the 0.149 roms found on the internet archive. That set doesn't seem to be on the list.
devNoise··on Lakka – DIY retro emulation console
I got RetroPi running over the Thanksgiving holiday. It's hard to figure out what version of the MAME roms you need to use.
devNoise··on HFS+ is crazy
I think your right that Apple is more focused on iOS. I can't figure out how Apple expects developers to create apps for iOS if OS X goes away.
devNoise··on Lessig Ends Presidential Campaign
I don't win a prize for backing a winner. Though I feel that there are some of the 1% that put big money in the race and expect a prize.
devNoise··on Deprecating our AJAX crawling scheme
I have the .html5Mode set to true so it was routing based on push state.

I hadn't gotten around to creating a process to generate the sitemap.xml before I gave up on the site. For SEO, we were more concerned with getting the time sensitive content indexed.

devNoise··on Deprecating our AJAX crawling scheme
About a year ago I wrote a post[1] about how I couldn't get google to index my AngularJS app. My main problem was the interaction between googlebot and the S3 server. I'll have to go back and test if the crawler's behavior will render the correct content.

devNoise··on TinyCert – Become Your Own PKI/CA Authority in a Matter of Minutes
I tried to setup some a SSL cert through StartSSL and hit the paywall when I wanted to create a cert for a sub domain. The fees to get class 2 verification cost more than buying a basic SSL elsewhere.
devNoise··on Disabling SSLv3 and RC4
Once you've checked your server, then you can head over to https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generat... and get an idea of how to change your server's SSL configuration.
devNoise··on Ask HN: Request for Lean Canvas examples
It's an adaptation of the Business Model Canvas. You can use it to help validate startup ideas and give focus to area you will need to work on.

devNoise··on Ask HN: Request for Lean Canvas examples
I agree that filling out the canvas is valuable. I just feel kinda of clueless and was wondering what are some of the things that people put in the different sections.

Thanks for the link. I asked for examples since I didn't find many when I did searches.
