Have you tried out teleconsole? I've used it quite a bit and I'm quite happy with it.

luke3butler··on Bitcoin Drops Below $8,000 as Cryptocurrency Pain Continues
A decentralized, distributed ledger has value as well.

Ethereum is a better example, but on the flip-side so is steel.

luke3butler··on Bitcoin Drops Below $8,000 as Cryptocurrency Pain Continues
This might be beating a dead horse, but what's the difference between Bitcoin and gold then?

If gold loses its value, then it's just a heavy rock. They both take time, money, and resources to mine but neither of them have any intrinsic value.

luke3butler··on Hackers nab $500k as Enigma is compromised weeks before its ICO
That's not Authy/Google Authenticator. That's social engineering their way into getting a persons text messages for SMS 2FA.
luke3butler··on Vue.js vs. React
But you can use JSX with Vue if that's what you prefer. Vue passes everything down to render functions in the end anyways.

React forces JSX use, so a lot of times the battle between Vue vs React seems to be Vue Templates vs JSX which never makes sense to me.

luke3butler··on Why We Terminated Daily Stormer
Booting them off cloudflare caused downtime at best.

"Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power."

I've been jumping back and forth over the fence on this topic, but this stance is where I've ended up.

luke3butler··on Update on Bitcoin Cash
I originally wrote this comment because BCC has been reserved for BitConnect prior to the existence of Bitcoin Cash.

Looks like BitConnect might need to come up with a new short-name?

luke3butler··on Update on Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin cash is BCH not BCC.
luke3butler··on Hacker News is more interested in Bitcoin when there's a bubble forming
Why is anything worth anything? Gold and silver have value because they're more rare than other metals, there's only so much of it that exists, and it takes time, money, and work to go out and mine them. The reason Bitcoins are worth something (unlike /dev/random output) is because there is a fixed output and total amount that will exist. It takes time, work, and money to mine them.

This was last edited in 2011. Things sure have changed.
luke3butler··on Show HN: Gnod – Global Network of Discovery
The music discovery gave me some new bands that don't have a lot of listeners.

Thanks! I'll be back for more.

luke3butler··on Show HN: tttfi – Middleware for IFTTT
The entire project is 89 lines of ES6 JS. Python 2 was just used for four lines of example middleware.

You can write middleware in anything that's executable via a terminal window.

luke3butler··on Universal Now: Now, on Every Cloud
This surprised me too, but it looks separate. You log in directly to GCP or AWS.
luke3butler··on Universal Now: Now, on Every Cloud
This is only if you deploy to their servers.

Other cloud providers are completely separate.

luke3butler··on Universal Now: Now, on Every Cloud
"Aside from "Function as a Service" providers, we also are working hard on bringing the Now experience to container management solutions such as Kubernetes. These systems provide a lot of power to their administrators, but typically don't offer a great "last mile" experience for product developers and designers."

I'm looking forward to this.

luke3butler··on 60 FPS Animations with CSS3
There are a lot of jsperf tests like this one https://jsperf.com/translate3d-vs-xy/4

This isn't pure css as it's using JS to set the property, but it should be a good indicator.

luke3butler··on 60 FPS Animations with CSS3
Yep, the will-change was something new to me.
luke3butler··on 60 FPS Animations with CSS3
TL;DR

These are the best css properties to animate with

Position — transform: translateX(n) translateY(n) translateZ(n);

Scale — transform: scale(n);

Rotation — transform: rotate(ndeg);

Opacity — opacity: n;

I'll add in that translate3d is generally faster than the other translate options. There's some good performance info in the post and it's worth the short read.

luke3butler··on How I failed to land a remote position
Would you say contracting on the side is taking on too much? I think I could handle it.

I like having the stability, so easing into contracting might be a viable option for me.

luke3butler··on How I failed to land a remote position
I've been searching for a remote position for 6 months, and I can relate to OP on a lot of this post. Methods slightly different.

I feel like I'm one of a huge crowd and being ignored completely is very common, even when I surpass all of their requirement check-boxes boxes, then some.

I spend a good amount of time on each cover letter, research the company, and email the CEO or a lead developer on the team. I very rarely get a response, but twice I got to the first stage and then it's as if I was forgotten.

I'm currently employed in a non-remote position, and I would be able to get a new local job with ease simply because I can walk in and talk to someone. I have gotten offers already, but I have a good list of reasons for wanting a remote position.

I'm persisting, but it's getting a bit tiring going this long at it.
