empyrical··on MacOS High Sierra
Update: I upgraded, and everything happened automatically. No option to opt out of APFS conversion so yeah, if that effects your workflow you should know that. Went without a hitch for me though!
empyrical··on MacOS High Sierra
If I'd like to stick with HFS+ for now, do I have the option to during the upgrade? I dual boot with Windows and I'm worried about something getting messed up and am not sure if there's a way to read APFS from Windows yet (I back up of course, but want to avoid potential issues)

No problem! Can't wait to try out the beta, especially the streaming audio transcription feature!
empyrical··on Launch HN: AssemblyAI (YC S17) – API for customizable speech recognition
Small issue I notice that the email links on the pricing page: they're swapped, with "Basic" having an "Enterprise Plan" subject line and vice versa
empyrical··on Life Is About to Get Harder for Websites Without HTTPS
Such at-risk sites should be archived in case they do go down. This excellent site has info/tools on doing just that:

empyrical··on ECMAScript 2017 Language Specification
The :: syntax is one of my favorite proposals - does anyone know what's holding it up?
empyrical··on ECMAScript 2017 Language Specification
That's just doing a google search, so you could do "cache:{URL}" in firefox's search field too
empyrical··on Node.js v6.0 Released
They're working on it: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1569
empyrical··on Node.js v6.0 Released
I'm really curious to see the kinds of things people will cook up with the new Proxy object
empyrical··on Secret US flight flew over Scottish airspace to capture Snowden
There was a lawsuit, but it got dismissed:

empyrical··on GitHub Outage
First time I saw that logo was on this Android ROM, I wonder which used it first?

http://aokp.co/

(they're using a different but similar image now, but they used to use that exact same logo)

empyrical··on Enable Node.js to Run with Microsoft's ChakraCore Engine
Here's Mozilla's effort to implement the V8 api on spidermonkey if anyone's curious:

empyrical··on If it's not practical to redistribute, it's not free software in practice
Yeah, and if you try to add restrictions to the software license itself you'll also end up with GPL incompatible code
empyrical··on Unreal Engine 4.10 is Released
Yes, to gain access to the GitHub repo you need to sign up for an Unreal Engine license which involves accepting this eula:

https://www.unrealengine.com/eula

empyrical··on Unreal Engine 4.10 is Released
Additionally, they mention that you can still negotiate paying an out right fee to license the engine if you'd like to do that rather than pay royalties (though I suspect it's mostly AAA studios that are interested in this)
empyrical··on W^X enabled in OpenBSD Firefox port
It uses WebKit rather than Gecko due to the appstore restrictions though
empyrical··on Structor – UI Builder for React
He could also keep it GPL3 and make license exemptions that remove ambiguities about the generated code like SWIG does

empyrical··on Two HN Announcements
Will HN move to its own domain now that it's going to become its own thing, or will it stay a subdomain of YC?
empyrical··on VOC: A transpiler that converts Python bytecode into Java bytecode
They also have an in-browser bytecode runner: https://github.com/pybee/batavia
empyrical··on React 0.14 Release Candidate
Will you end up testing a Babelified es6 class and a "native" es6 class, or will you keep testing just the Babelified version for now?
empyrical··on React 0.14 Release Candidate
(this is just in the chrome js console, not sure about other envs)

The automatic semicolon insertion doesn't seem as bad for arrow functions, this works as expected:

    () =>
          "this string is returned"
I'd personally keep using the parenthesis for aesthetic reasons though.

empyrical··on “Two days ago the police came to me and wanted me to stop working on this”
You may not be able to see a list of the forks via the web interface, but you can (albeit less conveniently) see them with the JSON API:

https://api.github.com/repos/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS/for...

And you can paginate like this:

empyrical··on G is for Google
I thought the A might end up being Android? (though it doesnt seem as if Android has split off from Google yet)
empyrical··on Do we need browsers?
Unity's been working on bettering its HTML5/ASMjs exporting, so hopefully the need for a plugin goes away someday
empyrical··on React on ES6+
This works for me in the latest Chrome too:

    `${`test`}`
empyrical··on Mario running in Unreal Engine 4 [video]
Epic made a change to the EULA requiring that all script bindings be free and open source in case a large part of the community became dependant on the bindings and people couldn't update them themselves as the engine changed. The maintainers of that project couldn't meet those requirements and thus abandoned it
empyrical··on Google has quietly launched a GitHub competitor
Yeah, it looks like it's mainly a way to manage code you're running on Google Cloud services
empyrical··on Building Nuclide, a unified developer experience
Yep, you're right - you install Nuclide by using Atom's package manager

empyrical··on Building Nuclide, a unified developer experience
They said they'd like to make this stuff work as Atom plugins eventually
