This is the time to show solidarity by activating our resources and bootstrap a new economy.

The banks together with our rampant financial illiteracy all need to go, are we still not able to scale blockchain transactions? Is there a secure "libbitcoin" written in Rust yet? Do we have super secure and crypto currency focused "micro" operating systems / servers on open hardware?

Where are the people working on this? As a global economy - and civilization - we need to stick together and show some love and ingenuity.

I always had high admiration for the SuperH architecture and now to read about its potential to fuel the much-needed open hardware movement is fantastic news.

Have you ever considered working remotely?

At age 32 my hearing is apparently at the level of a 66 year old. I'm not much of a concert attender nor drug user so the only real explanation the doctor could give for my disappointing audiogram was my habit of regularly working with headphones on (I always took care of moderate volume, mind you).

I wasn't expecting this result at all, I actually thought my hearing was perfect but hearing loss starts at the highest frequencies and continues to the lower frequencies exponentially. The route towards "Sorry, what did you say?" doesn't take as long as you might suspect.

$1,000,000 in about an hour is certainly impressive.

Thank you very much for sharing that, I'll probably get a Kinesis (still would like to at least try the Twiddler - might make sense with VR etc).

I've been interested in Kinesis keyboards for a while now but am still undecided because the more I think about the whole problem of HCI from a programmer's perspective the more I question my own assumptions. I'm wondering if something far out like the Twiddler could really work for somebody living in a text editor with vim bindings most of the day. If anybody had to share their experience with it I would be very interested to hear it (e.g. experience working with your legs up).

Yes and please do blog about it regularly if you feel like it - this whole thread on legacy systems is the most interesting read on HN for a long time IMHO.

I'm very interested in more modular, simpler alternatives to react / flux. Essentially I'm looking for reactive "isomorphic" component based, virtual dom solutions like react - mainly to integrate with a node.js workflow.

I was wondering if anyone had tried both Mithril as well as Deku(https://github.com/segmentio/deku) who would like to share their experience?

I simply love NYC, seldom felt so much energy - a lot of startups and a vibrant developer community too. IMHO San Francisco is kind of boring in comparison and the weather actually isn't that much better either ;)

I'm probably forever spoiled by Rails' ActiveRecord - has anybody here used http://thinky.io with Node/RethinkDB? I really like to define my objects in an OOP fashion with class/instance methods included and would prefer a convenience "ORM" library for that purpose.

Thanks, I will give it a try - even though I have been very happy with kue.

Did anybody here use the corresponding worker module too? How does it compare with kue (in production)?

I'm a US fan myself - I love the culture - but its people are being misled continously by the powers that be (military industrial complex tag-teaming with a handful of media moguls).

As so often the case it's about money and power (e.g. oil). Where was the police during the Rwanda and Dafur genocides? Even the UN kept relatively silent in contrast to how horrible those were.

I wonder why that is an issue? Controlling the message? Feels like a PRC measure - as a UK citizen that'd make me feel very wary about public news.

Thanks a lot - I'll definitely be checking out alleyNY! Currently working at harlemgarage - a nice and very comfortable place too imho.

The introduction alone just made my day, thanks for sharing.

It's about time that we take history more seriously.

I had to buy this in an instant, very much looking forward to play it. Thanks for the recommendation - local co-op is the best kind of multiplayer!

What's holding you back?

Yes, I was also hoping he'd be ranting over HFS+ bit-rot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7876217

Be aware that many prescription medications are ototoxic (e.g. Aspirin). I recently had a routine check-up of my hearing and at 31 my actual "hearing age" is supposedly 66 for higher frequencies - permanent hearing loss most likely brought on by Wellbutrin which I took for some weeks only (I've never been exposed to loud noises and never was much of a headphones user). Just putting it out there, be wary with prescriptions of Wellbutrin especially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ototoxicity

So is this a return to pre 9/11 or pre 1990s standards ("Broken Windows Theory")?

Congratulations you've just unlocked the "Top Negative Statement in a Thread" achievement!

The issue of HFS+ bit rot is a good example for caring about long-term core features. IIRC we almost got ZFS per default sometime around 2007?

Thanks for sharing - perfect timing as I just had the best gaming weekend for a very long time and to a big part that's due to the fabulous AI in Alien: Isolation (it won the aigamedev community award for best NPC 2014 http://aigamedev.com/open/editorial/2014-awards/?utm_source=... ).

Thank you very much - this is wonderful, great work (usability, privacy policy and especially the quality of the voice synthesis)!

Also by the magnificent substack, learning by doing done right: the node.js stream adventure!

Install via:

   npm install -g stream-adventure

Now simply go forth and start your adventure by typing:

   stream-adventure

Have fun and don't forget to thank the man:

By adapting the highWaterMark option one could probably tweak it even further.

Default buffer size seems to be 64k: https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/912b5e05811fd24f09f9d652...

Sorry, I would like to know that too but I only stumbled over this gem myself while reading the well written node.js stream handbook:

Edit: the "dmr" part in the URL seems to point to this being an anecdote by the late Dennis Ritchie :(

http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/index.html

Very good advice, at least I feel the same exact way. My brain has very efficient filters, it doesn't bother even hitting any memory if the stuff to process isn't "important" (can't be important if I don't do anything with it) on top of that there is ruthless garbage-collection going on at all times. I need to do. It's the only chance I have to become and stay motivated to even RTFM of anything and remembering..

There is no alternative, at least with my wetware.

Your anecdote regarding the credit card swiper is also interesting in a different way because it goes to show how our day-to-day procedures are often still designed in a bad way. IMHO a very distinct indicator for stuff to think over again and to find better solutions for.
