fermuch··on Support for better symlink handling in Windows 10
Could you provide some link to read about this? First time I've heard about it.

You still need an account with admin privileges to enable the developer mode, so I'd count it as still requiring admin.
fermuch··on Ant species cultivates coffee for accommodation
Even without an Ego it is still impressive. Just imagine the steps that led to transmit these traits. How did the first ones know that by planting a seed a plant would grow? How did they know that by adding soil it would help to the growth of the plant? Ants are so perfectly in harmony with the colony that I can't imagine how an ant would step into botany without external input; they don't have time to try new things, they're always doing a task for the greater good of the colony.
fermuch··on Show HN: StockDroids.com – A curated list of near-stock Android devices
Slightly off topic, but what I found terrible hard to look up on the specs lists for android phones is support for USB OTG. Some companies disable it, some enable it, and some switch between enabled and disabled between different sub models of the same phone. Sadly, I had to go to stores and ask to put an OTG to check for compatibility.
fermuch··on Let’s replace Twitter with something much better
GNU social didn't fail. It still has a growing community. Check out mastodon.social to see a newborn server (with it's own implementation of everything, in Ruby) for example. It was featured here some weeks ago.

Check out mastodon.social :)
fermuch··on Brain implants allow paralysed monkeys to walk
The phrasing is a bit harsh, but the example is a nice one. It's easy to forget how complex living creatures are.
fermuch··on Hyper.sh – Effortless Docker Hosting
It's almost the same as using docker locally.

Number 8 is amazing. I'd love to see it for real in a website.

Brazilian Portuguese expects that behavior to write words such as "àqueles"

Thank you.
fermuch··on Ask HN: What is the future of back-end development?
An easier approach IMO would be to create an amazon lambda script to process the pdf and make it run when you upload a file to a bucket in amazon s3.

It's easy to do and you don't need to mess with anything more than two simple API.

You're still paying only a few cents.

Is this entire post a joke or something like that?
fermuch··on Stack Overflow Outage Postmortem
I was thinking the same while reading that part, and I also find it very scary. Why would you even _let_ the load balancer take off _all_ of your servers?

You just made my day. Thank you.

fermuch··on People on the autism spectrum live an average of 18 fewer years, study finds
I also think we are less scared of death. For example, I didn't feel anything more than anxiety and a little fear when we were robed, but my friends felt like it was the end of the world. When this situation ended, I automatically recovered all my senses, but the others needed some time to recover.

This also happens with other things. I think my ego is too big, and if someone dares me to do something, I might do it, even if it risks my life.

I talked with several other autists about this, and we all can't feel a fear of death as neurotypical seem to feel.

It would be so funny if you're part of the group that trained him, and he ends up kicking you in the butt.

Quick question: 2.5 years means "two years and five months", or "two years and six months"?
