needz··on AMD, which lost over $2.8B in 5 years, takes a hit after new report
I'm finding myself enjoying Ars less and less. Recommendations for what to replace it with?
needz··on Introducing Surface Book 2
Are we looking at the same thing? It looks incredibly similar to Macbooks.
needz··on Ask HN: UK Startups – Are You Thinking of Leaving the UK Because of Brexit?
Via breadcrumbs, oddly enough.
needz··on Ask HN: UK Startups – Are You Thinking of Leaving the UK Because of Brexit?
I haven't been following development too closely; what's the maximum packet size of an unladen swallow these days?
needz··on What should follow the web?
I don't have any experience developing for native, but I don't mind other people reinventing the wheel for web if it ends up being a solid package I can import into my own projects, saving me a lot of time. In short, npm is why I think people might say that.
needz··on Ask HN: Do I need a terms of service?
I do (very casually) mention that we use mixpanel for analytics on the 'about' modal, but I'll look into making those changes.

I'll look into your provided resources before asking any follow-ups. Thank you.

needz··on Divorce and Occupation
Your original statement that being a stay at home wife was a "shitty situation" was a blanket statement with no qualifications. Thank you for clarifying the exact conditions of what you consider a raw deal.

I want to add that, at least in my opinion, managing a home is no less important than providing the means to do so if both partners are gratified by the resulting homelife.

needz··on Divorce and Occupation
That seems a little cynical. Best advice I've heard adjacent to this is to give 60% and expect 40%. If you both do this then everyone ends up with more than they expect.
needz··on Divorce and Occupation
Some may consider it to be a bad situation. No need to shame individuals that find fulfillment in managing a home for their loving family.
needz··on Windy.com
Trying to back out of this website after zooming in is really frustrating.
needz··on OpenAI at the Dota 2 World Championships
Only 3 heroes not picked in TI, iirc. It hasn't always been this diverse though. This patch is particularly well balanced.
needz··on AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X Review
In an attempt to be as independent of third-party services as possible I switched from Plex to Emby and I see no reason to go back. You can even stream media outside your home network for free.

needz··on Inside Patreon, the economic engine of internet culture
An answer will suffice.

> The alt-right is literal-not-figurative fascism

What gives you this impression?

needz··on How can Ethereum systematically scale better?
What about logging?
needz··on Why Ethereum is outpacing Bitcoin
The tech is still in its infancy. Most of the developers that have heard of Ethereum heard about it within the past couple months. Communities like r/ethdev are growing rapidly and the tools required to develop feature-rich dapps easily are still being fleshed out. It takes time to realize the potential and learn to develop for a new paradigm. Trustless smart contracts are an incredibly powerful concept and I don't expect them to go away.
needz··on Ask HN: How much time per week do you spend on side projects?
Probably around 10 hours a week. Usually this is all on Sunday. I'm dead to the world on Sundays.
needz··on DNSPerf
This is pretty neat, but as always it's worth testing public DNS resolver times from your own home.
needz··on A Look Inside Airbus’s Alabama Assembly Line
Currently two miles from work with dirt-cheap rent while I build up my nest egg. Late twenties, single and enjoying the convenient nightlife. I'll gladly move when it's time to though (better school systems and all those family-life-community benefits).
needz··on Root – Programmable bank account for software developers
"Absolute control" would imply I can import javascript modules and interface with blockchains directly, so you're right that it wouldn't be Root's job to utilize the blockchain if I have this ability. There is nothing to indicate this is the case, however.

edit: if it is the case, I would be excited to see some docs

needz··on Root – Programmable bank account for software developers
As an extension to customizing your bank account. It'd be nice to be able to pull funds from cryptocoin accounts or make calls to smart contracts, etc. I'm thinking this could be the IFTTT of bank accounts, so I want to see as many connections as possible.
needz··on Root – Programmable bank account for software developers
Any plans to back this with a blockchain of any kind?
needz··on A Look Inside Airbus’s Alabama Assembly Line
8th lowest CoL in the USA and a pretty great place to live. Glad to call Birmingham my home.
needz··on Ask HN: How did you acquire your first 100 users?
Yeah! It's a social score-ranking app for physical pinball machines. We recently broke 1k users and 20k scores since release this past June.
needz··on Ask HN: How did you acquire your first 100 users?
My app is for a very niche population so spreading the word for it was incredibly easy as there are only 3-5 really good hubs for this crowd (pinball players) online.
needz··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
Project: For over a year, I have been developing and maintaining a score-tracking social network for pinball players. We recently broke 1k users who have posted over 20k scores. I'm currently in the process of refactoring the entire codebase and updating/testing dependencies. Once the mobile app is polished I intend on making a web version as well. As a newer developer (~3 years), the scope of this app and the size of the target community are the perfect challenge for me. I've learned about deployments, image uploads, CDN, DBA, and community engagement.

Problem: I'm really struggling with deep-linking. I want to make sure that links open in the app if the app is available and fallback on opening on the site. Sharing to social media is also giving me a headache, but that's due to my stack.

needz··on Disapproval of FCC regulations a significant blow against privacy protection
I use PIA (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) and don't have any complaints. They have apps for every OS, servers all over the place, and don't log anything. If you search around you can find a deal for 2 years for $60.
needz··on Show HN: Marta – A fast and minimalistic file manager for macOS
I don't know if this is truly faster, but Finder can really crawl for me sometimes. I'd gladly switch to a faster solution.
needz··on Kurzweil Claims That the Singularity Will Happen by 2029
The definition I use is when a computer is smart enough to design its own successor.
needz··on Trump Fires Acting Attorney General
I would say that while the statement is false, context is required.

America has historically given priority to immigrants that are victim to religion-based persecution. We are, after all, a nation founded by settlers seeking freedom from religious prosecution from a country in which they were the minority.
