getsat··on United Airlines Stops Researcher Who Tweeted about Airplane Network Security
In that case, it was potentially VERY applicable to the other people's lives who also were on the plane in question.
getsat··on Why don’t our brains explode at movie cuts?
Thanks for the link. I had seen some of Kurosawa's films but was unable to pinpoint why they felt so different from modern films.
getsat··on Remote Kernel Code Execution Via HTTP Request In IIS On Windows
The "Server" response header will usually tell you but may omit a specific version depending on configuration.

Use "curl -I whatever.com" to send a HEAD request and look at the headers in the response.

getsat··on Working Remotely From A Tropical Island In Thailand
Where do you work, if I may ask? This kind of arrangement would actually make living near and working in SF tolerable. No traffic getting into/out of the city at those times.
getsat··on Show HN: Where is “Who is hiring?” hiring?
Yes, this please. Sometimes there are comments or you want to investigate the profile/history of the poster.
getsat··on What I'd tell myself about startups if I could go back 5 years
They clone successfully executed ideas, not any old idea someone has.
getsat··on How I doubled my Internet speed with OpenWRT
Cat5 has a max throughput of 100mbps. 802.11g wifi (probably what you're using) has a max throughput of 54mbps.

Either buy a Cat5e/Cat6 cable or change your wifi access point to use 802.11n. I am connected to my 2007 Airport Extreme at 300mbps right now using 802.11n.

Good point, thanks!

1br is around $3,000 now: https://www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-san-francisco-ren...

100k = 25% marginal tax rate for Fed, but effective rate of 17.3% + 6.8% State tax rate = 24.13% = $24130 (assuming you are single)

  $100k:
  - $24.1k taxes
  - $36k rent
  - $12k food and misc
  -------------
  $27.9k
So you basically have $2,325 left over after expenses each month to play with.
getsat··on Ask HN: How much to put in a resignation letter?
This, this, this!

Even if you're very friendly with the C-team at your company, DO NOT GIVE HONEST FEEDBACK. It can only hurt you in the future. I, myself, made this mistake a few years ago, and now I'm always worried a potential employer will ask for a reference from that particular employer.

getsat··on Reddit: can anyone clean up the mess behind 'the front page of the internet'?
The brits have been cuckolds for a while now, so this isn't really surprising.
getsat··on Tokyo WWII firebombing, the most deadly bombing raid, remembered 70 years on
Very few people will see it since the OP was flagkilled, but this post you wrote in the other thread was very nice:

getsat··on What happens to your brain when you stop eating sugar
What is your TDEE, if I may ask?
getsat··on A website that deletes itself once indexed by Google

    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />

Of course, this won't prevent crawlers which do not honor these headers/meta tags from caching your site, but if you're not in Google's index you're likely not getting traffic from said crawlers.
getsat··on Hands-on with Vivaldi, the new Web browser for power users
I got this prompt when I opened HN in Vivaldi: http://i.imgur.com/HKMLXQD.png

When I click the ?, nothing happens. Any idea what this is?

getsat··on Firefox Developer Edition 38: 64-bits and more
Same versions, same profiles, same # of bookmarks (hundreds), same # of plugins (adblock, ghostery, a few others).

Pages render a lot snappier and there's no scrolling lag in Waterfox vs Firefox. This is great.

getsat··on Firefox Developer Edition 38: 64-bits and more
Holy crap, this is so much faster than Firefox. Lifesaver. Thanks!
getsat··on Http2 explained
Thanks for the tip!
getsat··on Ask HN: As a young developer, how can I launch a successful freelancing career?
Another one: "it's low prices" -> "its low prices".

its -> possessive form of "it"

it's -> "it is"

OP seems not to be a native speaker of English but is doing well despite that.

getsat··on Http2 explained
The problem is that it doesn't scale linearly. There's some O(n4) algorithm being used in netstat or some kernel syscalls or something. Once you go over 250k, things get _really_ weird.
getsat··on Http2 explained
Linux starts to act weird around 200,000 concurrent connections in my experience, even with aggressive sysctl tuning. You end up with weird edge cases like netstat literally taking 15 minutes of CPU time (in kernel) before it dumps the list of connections to stdout.

Not sure about FreeBSD or any other OSes.

getsat··on Mailbox, from Dropbox (plus 1 GB of space to your Dropbox)
And IMAP! I'm actually really impressed with Outlook. I signed up the other day.

$2 CPM for video ads is really not that unusual.

You can also just release a few rabbits. They breed pretty quickly [1] and will destroy local ecosystems. See: Australia.

(Also, happy Straya Day)

getsat··on Ask HN: Where to Register a Company When Being a Traveling Digital Nomad?
Ah, I didn't know there was a second filing for Nevada. Lame. Wyoming wins even more! :) Thanks for the info!
getsat··on Ask HN: Where to Register a Company When Being a Traveling Digital Nomad?
Nevada does not share tax info with the IRS (even though no tax is owed), which can appear suspicious. Wyoming is likely a better choice. One advantage of a Nevada/Wyoming LLC is that they have specific laws which prevent veil-piercing of single member LLCs, something judges have been doing in other states in lawsuits. Wyoming LLC costs $52/yr to maintain, Nevada is around $200.
getsat··on Interfacing D to Legacy C++ Code [video]
If you haven't looked at C++ in a while, check out C++14. No naked pointers, inferred types, lambdas, code that is run at compile time (constexpr),... tons of new stuff. It's actually awesome now!
getsat··on LLDB debugger is coming to Windows
Thanks for the link!
getsat··on LLDB debugger is coming to Windows
Isn't Linux support in libc++ still not 100%? I'm using libc++/c++14 on a new project and I love it! Much better than my last experience with c++ (c++98).

I was worried about using libc++, but I recently found a great VPS provider which lets you install from an ISO so I can run FreeBSD in production. I no longer have any need for Linux. Develop on OSX, deploy on FreeBSD.
