dindresto··on Google is finally killing off Chrome apps, which nobody really used
Note that Chrome Apps != Progressive Web Apps, which you can still install on desktop Chrome and the new Edge and hopefully will gain more traction.
dindresto··on German university finds misconduct by researcher who promoted cancer blood test
Yay, that's my university!
dindresto··on Sweden has invented a word to encourage people not to fly
Flugscham, Reichweitenangst, ...
dindresto··on The Huawei Disaster Reveals Google’s Iron Grip on Android
I think Windows Phone has shown that "Google/Alphabet/YT would make apps for that platform too" is far from true.
dindresto··on Istio – An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices
Istio also turned out to be way too complex for my use case, but I have found [ambassador](https://www.getambassador.io/) to fit my needs well. It is not quite the same, of course, but it covers the subset of Istio's features I need.
dindresto··on Facebook open-sources a speech-recognition system and a machine learning library
I was wondering the same. Also, it's weird the issues on the repository are all older than the first commit.
dindresto··on Valve discontinues the Steam Link
What kind of TV has built-in Steam Link? :o
dindresto··on Colaboratory, a free cloud based Jupyter notebook environment requires no setup
Yes you can! We used it for a university project and it allowed us to test different model configurations and datasets much faster. Before that, we'd run the training over the day / night on one of our personal desktop computers with a dedicated GPU. Using Colab reduced the time needed for training by about 75%.
dindresto··on Native Clojure with GraalVM
GraalVM still does not support Windows, does it?

dindresto··on YouTube no longer supports 4K video playback in Safari
Nope, youtube-dl is able to grab the DASH sources, which includes 4k, 1440p and 1080p. :) The DASH video and audio sources can then be muxed by mpv on playback.
dindresto··on Why are developers switching from Mac OS X to Linux?
I believe it's the combination of a UNIX-like system and the "It just works" / batteries included mentality. Also the amount of popular commercial applications available for OS X, as compared to Linux.
dindresto··on Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person
He's saying that we idealize our partner at first, but this picture is guaranteed to be torn down and replaced by the real person behind it.
dindresto··on Why I switched from Vim to Emacs
Yes, but religious posts are not. :P
dindresto··on Daydream – Google VR
I've been suspicious as well about that at first, but after having tried Google Cardboard myself on a OnePlus 3, I was surprised by how accurate accelerometer powered head tracking worked. I'm sure there are specific cases that aren't covered by this level of accuracy, but overall, it works perfectly fine.
dindresto··on GraphQL: Leaving technical preview
Very excited about this! I believe that GraphQL's ease of composability can be a real game changer in terms of ease of development and discoverability.
dindresto··on Introducing Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram Windows Apps
What's the value of it though? It's just a bunch of webviews. I can accomplish the same with opening the web versions in my browser.
dindresto··on Show HN: Kikked – check if any of your NPM repos is trademarked
Sorry if it is rather obvious, but I cannot see it. Would you care to elaborate? (no native English speaker here)

dindresto··on Pyringe: Debugger capable of attaching to and injecting into Python processes
The title is a bit misleading, since Pyringe is "only" able to inject Python code into Python processes. Aside of that, I think this could prove useful for Clojure-like live coding.
dindresto··on At least 9 reported dead, more than 100 injured near Ukraine's parliament
In which country/countries is it blocked? Just wondering, because it's working in Germany.
dindresto··on Hiding Offscreen Content in Ember.js
Just sayin', but it's pointing to localhost
dindresto··on Which are the best osdev tutorials?
Ah, thanks, I didn't know the last one.
dindresto··on Which are the best osdev tutorials?
So far, I've found the one by James Molloy quite good: http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/

If you have a Raspberry Pi, you might consider reading http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/ Note though that the one for the Pi only scratches the surface. Topics like memory management or task scheduling are not included.

dindresto··on Poll: Do you primarily use Mosh instead of SSH?
Definitely, I'd have liked to know the opinions other HN users have on this topic.
dindresto··on Show HN: Musi
It said something like "I'm 17 and I made this app:"
dindresto··on Show HN: Musi
Hah, nothing wrong with that. I'm 17 myself and programming for a bit more than three years now. Currently working on an browser extension for multilingual videos on YouTube. Keep up the good work, looks awesome!
dindresto··on Poll: Do you primarily use Mosh instead of SSH?
For me, the primary reason for using it outside of a "mobile" connection is that it just reconnects after getting out of standby. So if you do a break and come back you can just continue your work.
dindresto··on ZenPen ~ Minimal Distraction, Maximim Zen
ZenPen is great, but there's one thing I'm missing though. What I'd really like to see is a focus mode like in iA Writer. For those who don't know iA Writer's focus mode, it basically just makes the current sentence stand out more by reducing the contrast of the other sentences. So that looks like this: http://imagr.eu/up/52bab340db21e_Capture_d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cra...
dindresto··on Show HN: My 10-year-old son has made a card game, which he is giving away
Awesome. I usually tend to have an asshole-ish attitude in my comments, which I highly apologize for, but in this case: I just love them :)
