gablerouxon Curated collection of “dramatic” GitHub interactions

One of the contributors marked an issue I created as dramatic in the list: https://github.com/kmmbvnr/django-jenkins/issues/349 (me suggesting a better place for documentation in django-jenkins)

There's a few funny discussions in the list, I could not stop myself from sharing it ahah.

gablerouxon Nvidia's Hackintosh Support Is an Insurgency Against Apple's Computers

I used to work on a hackintosh, the support is impressive on tonymacx86. https://www.tonymacx86.com/

ReHabMan is just amazing. It's even easy to get started with all the tutorials. Indeed, the problem I was getting was with nvidia support, mini-display port, multi display in general, video drivers, hybrid video (integrated + discrete card), etc. Everything else was working a bit too well.

It's sad that this is not legit, the community is really awesome. At least this nvidia move with drivers is a good news for the users in general I suppose.

I personally worked on windows back in the days, discovered MacOS, moved to ubuntu, hated all the PPAs, missed the tools I had on mac so gave hackintosh a try, wasn't legit and had lots of troubles with nvidia, moved to arch linux, struggled with lack of nvidia support too (ironic isn't it?) but turned out to work a bit better on Fedora (maybe because I got better with X11, wayland and configs in general) Then someone left at the office and I got his macbook so I moved back to MacOS (my dotfiles are now compatible on all main os and I automated my setup...). I don't think I'll switch again for a while (time consuming, it's a long trip), but this news is really tempting to move back to hackintosh. I have to admit it though, I really enjoyed Fedora :P

gablerouxon GPU Accelerated Voxel Physics Solver

A very good example of Compute Shaders for the recent release of Unity 5.6 that supports Metal for MacOS and iOS. This is just awesome, grab the project on Github and try it! It's not perfect, but still very impressive. All the gravity is being calculated using the GPU :)

Kudos to Jason Knight

Compute Shaders: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ComputeShaders.html Note that documentation is not yet updated concerning Metal and MacOS + iOS support

Apple Metal: https://developer.apple.com/metal/

Unity 5.6 added Compute Shaders for Metal: https://unity3d.com/unity/roadmap

gablerouxon ANSI colors in your browser

Hi, this is a chrome extension to convert ANSI characters to colors.

Posting here just in case someone is interested in giving a hand, it's just for fun, but could be handy for some users.

It's kind of cool as I was able to get browserify to work within a chrome extension and it currently strips ANSI characters on a single button click so our eyes can stop bleeding ;)

Oh I can't decide between this and wtfpl http://www.wtfpl.net/about/ :)

gablerouxon Hackfest 2016 presentation videos

The hackfest posted many videos from the HF2016 event. There are some very interesting presentations in there.

You'll find a lot of cool topics such as ios hacking, php7 opcache security, dark web, internet of dongs, IMSI catchers (will freak you out) docker security and way more. Oh and the presentation from Chad M. Dewey about hacking the high seas is really funny.

To anyone near Quebec interrested in hacking, you must go there every year ;)

Thanks to the hackfest organisation and all of the presenters, that was indeed a really cool conference. Happy new year!

gablerouxon NPM v4.0.0

npm search will at least return results now ahah. I didn't know about https://npm.im/npms-cli , sounds like a great alternative. Thanks for sharing this release here :)

gablerouxon Why is Python slow

Sounds interresting, I'd be glad to see a blog post with the actual use cases and a few graphs with different numbers of cores, and maybe the sources so people can go further.

gablerouxon Ask HN: What small webapps do you know that have a large audience?

http://sebastianpontow.de/css2compass/

Nice tool to convert css into scss, a bit like http://js2coffee.org (which has probably even more audience)

Would be nice to see css2compass as a node module like js2coffee does, we should tweet the author about this.

Very usefull tool. I dont know the analytics for those, but I use them almost everyday ;)

gablerouxon Unofficial Github Cards

This is an awesome idea. Totally looks good and I'd definitly add something lile that on my portfolio. I hope this will get attention by the gh guys :)
