laveur··on Safari no longer supported by Spotify
Thanks I didn't even realize I could change this. And I would add that most people outside of developers (of any kind) probably don't care.
laveur··on The Company Isn't a Family
Absolutely! They do not own me and I should never have to feel obligated to stay late and work extra hours for them. I have a life out side of my job. I want to keep it that way.
laveur··on Stanford dumps java as intro language
I agree. When I first started out I learned java on my own. But when I first started taking college level CS classes it was all C++. And to be honest I prefer it.
laveur··on ELF – An extensive, lightweight, and flexible platform for game research
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was thinking this.
laveur··on Open source electronic lab notebook
I have to say I was a bit disappointed I clicked the link expecting to find an open source electronics lab book but instead its an electronic science lab application. I was hoping someone had taken the time to write a really good open source electronics book that I could read to further improve my electrical engineering skills :-/
laveur··on Stack Overflow Introduced Dance Dance Authentication
Given todays date I suspect this is a nice April Fools Joke...
laveur··on App store sales for Android to overtake Apple’s iOS, report says
I think this should be pointed out but this includes all Android App Stores in one category. Meaning Google Play, Amazon, and several of china's are all lumped together.
laveur··on Dial-A-Grue
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
laveur··on Apple, this time you made a mistake
I see a lot of comments about apple getting rid of USB. Thats not exactly true at all. They have removed the USB-A ports and replaced them with the updated USB-C ports. Which also double as charging ports, thunderbolt ports, and HDMI (with a dongle yes). I think its dishonest to say they did away with USB because they haven't they have done away with the port you are used to. Doesn't mean USB is gone. Its still there with a better connector!
laveur··on Show HN: SnapEDA Plugins – Find parts inside your circuit board design software
I want to personally thank you! This I feel will quickly become a very useful tool for me when I design projects for Burning Man. The libraries for Eagle can be very very lacking.
laveur··on PgAdmin 4 v1.0 released
I am for one disappointed its no longer a native app and that its been reduced to a "web" app :(
laveur··on Acidity in atmosphere minimised to preindustrial levels
I'm pretty sure the X Axis is the year.. meaning to the right is historical data and to the left is the most recent. Its a little weird but it kind of makes sense.
laveur··on Cisco copied Slack called it Spark
I agree. The original is much less clickbaity.

Disclosure: I work on Cisco Spark.

laveur··on [dead]
Does anyone else just dismiss articles starting with "Millenials..."? I feel like the media is terribly out of touch with todays young adults.
laveur··on Apollo Global is buying Rackspace for $4.3B
I've been a loyal rackspace customer since 2011. I really hope that if this is indeed true, as I will wait until Rackspace officially announces it, that Appollo doesn't destroy the good things Rackspace has going for it. Mainly their wonderful customer support.
laveur··on Ao is a tool for programmatic computer-aided design using Scheme
Having looked through some of your other projects there is some really amazing work you have done. I was wondering the graph node code you wrote. What does it use for library to render them to the screen?
laveur··on Ardour 5 released
It disappoints me that that they charge for pre-built binaries... Yes I can go and build it from source but it just doesn't feel right to have an open source project distributed like this. Shame on them for flaunting what I think is the spirit of Open Source.
laveur··on RandomUUID.net
Priceless...
laveur··on How Android M made Sensy Remote re-think user onboarding
I wrote the update for Android M at my company. And pretty much everything they said is true. Our UX Team spent a lot of time trying to make it work right, but I ended up ignoring a lot of it and implemented it based on what I felt was right. Having had years of experience with this model from doing iOS development I kind of followed the same patterns I would have used there.
laveur··on Navy to Name Ship After Gay Rights Activist Harvey Milk
I have to say as a gay man that this is a huge step for any part of the US Armed Forces.
laveur··on Skype for Linux Alpha and Calling on Chrome and Chromebooks
Am I the only one that is disappointed that they no longer have a native Linux app? (The original Skype used QT)
laveur··on Apache Guacamole
I have to admit this is pretty awesome! I am going to have to suggest this to our platform team at work as a way to allow others to access our build servers. Hopefully this can be configured with strict access controls.
laveur··on ShadyURL
This is great... I am kind of tempted to see if works firewall will not like the URL's
laveur··on GitKraken 1.0 released
If I am not mistaken this is built off of Atom or something else like that. That disappoints me a bit. I hate apps that pretend to be native when they are really just wrapper around a web app.
laveur··on Visual C++ for Linux Development
I have to say this is awesome. Not gonna make me jump ship from Mac but I love that MSFT is finally making steps towards being very open source friendly.
laveur··on Your iPhone just got less secure. Blame the FBI
There is absolutely no proof of that. What they where asking for was keys to every lock in the world. It would have given them unprecedented power to do whatever they wanted. Apple did the right thing. Users should always come first especially when privacy is at stake.
laveur··on UN panel 'rules in Assange's favour'
This title is misleading... he has not won anything yet... he is still waiting for their ruling... The ruling I believe from the article suppose to come out tomorrow. So please make sure you read the article. He has also said that if he looses which might still he will freely give himself up for arrest tomorrow at noon.
laveur··on “Á á á á á á Á” is a grammatically correct sentence in Icelandic

laveur··on Code Blocks: open-source, cross-platform, free C, C++ and Fortran IDE
I question why this was posted. AS its been around for years now, and I personally feel like this is a marketing attempt.
laveur··on Annoyances of API Design
Agreed! The API should basically document itself. If you have to provide long examples of how to do something then there is a good chance the API isn't that good. Easy to use for developers makes a platform more stable and produces better quality apps, IMHO.
