ngold··on How to Build a Low-Tech Solar Panel?
There was that before gasoline times when a lot of newly invented cars were electric. Jay Leno drove one around from the 1900s.
ngold··on Cryptocurrencies’ Carbon Footprint Underestimated
Finally something more destructive then stock markets.

My only problem with bitcoin is, imagine if to own a share of Tesla stock, you had to burn down a hectare of forest.

ngold··on [dead]
How private companies like Twitter and Facebook took over official government communication is rather lazy, and destructive to an open society.
ngold··on Ludum Dare 49 (Game jam)
I created the /r/construct3, let me know if you have a mod team that wants to take over.

I really enjoyed programming an entire games in construct 2 in 100 lines of code. A decade ago

ngold··on Microsoft ruined passwords, now aims for a passwordless future
Good on you. That is great.
ngold··on Big Tech is replacing human artists with AI?
As opposed to the artist that dropped buckets of paint from a bridge onto a canvas and called it abstract art.

Since time began, it's all in the users appreciation or lack there of.

Art is anything and everything if you boil it down.

But, an artist with talent and a message....

ngold··on Bye YouTube, Hello PeerTube [video]
Only folks that can sustain themselves, like forgotten weapons, are patreon supported. But you would have to create a channel from the beginning to be patreon supported.
ngold··on The financial literacy industrial complex
I would avoid anyone that named themselves kafkaincarnate. That's just terrifying.

On a side note, my favorite kafka story out of all his saved works was, the blind paranoid mole digging tunnels. I'm a big fan of kafka but would never want to align my brain with his tragic way of thinking. But he was not wrong to be paranoid, he lived a pretty terrible life in a pretty terrible time.

ngold··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit so slow and unreliable?
I use redreader and it works like a charm with no ads.

If I happen to look at the actual website on mobile, it will freeze the browser almost instantly. So meesed up.

ngold··on Going forward, Unity devs will need Unity Pro to publish on consoles
I do some mobile unity game development. Personally I would expect it to cost more to get games on console.
ngold··on Elizabeth Holmes fails to keep customer complaints, test results out of trial
When you rob Henry kissenger of millions of dollars and all his buddies who one being bill Clinton ex president, I'm very curious to see what happens next.
ngold··on The Itanic Has Sunk
That is crazy fascinating. It seems windows xp and celeron and amd fx chips with 2 to 4 gigs of ram are where it's at.
ngold··on The Itanic Has Sunk
My pops did a consulting gig in the 90s for Rockwell, and he described it as being the sheriff dressed in black.

Always thought that was funny, and probably pretty accurate.

ngold··on The Itanic Has Sunk
Hey, thanks for a new take on an old story. That makes much more sense than any other version I have heard over the decades.
ngold··on Why did we ever think a student's first programming language didn't matter?
You are given a set of tools, designed by folk's that may not have envisioned how you want to use those tools. You make the best you can from the bag of tools available.
ngold··on Johnny Knoxville’s Last Rodeo
You watched folks drop out here and there after not surviving the hardcore guy ridicule. And the truly awful stuff they pulled in their early days. I always imagined, everyone parties, someone comes up with something horrible or dangerous, then the cameraman waves hundred dollar bills around to drunk twenty year olds to get it on tape.
ngold··on The Apple M1 compiles Linux 30% faster than my Intel i9
I still love that movie with the hobbit guy about the BBC acorn. That was great.
ngold··on The Apple M1 compiles Linux 30% faster than my Intel i9
Also 5 or 10 watts versus 125 watt power draw. No matter how you slice it. The BBC acorn has grown up to be a monster.
ngold··on DIY Book Scanner
I have most of the entire collection of hardback national geographics from 1930 to 1970. Wonder how legal it would be to scan them. Always wondered.
ngold··on Franz Kafka: Manuscripts, drawings and personal letters go online
Soooo The Castle?
ngold··on Philip K. Dick: A Visionary Among the Charlatans (1975)
Valis is a very brave book, horselover fats biography if not Philip k. Dicks.
ngold··on WordPress 18
And here I am, making a website with an image and boxes around links.
ngold··on John Steinbeck’s estate urged to let the world read his shunned werewolf novel
This from the same guy that took his first draft of grapes of wrath and burned it in the backyard.

If he really wanted it destroyed, he definitely had experience.

ngold··on Freesound just reached 500K Creative Commons sounds
Freesound is an amazing project. Thanks for the labs link. Good to know.
ngold··on Politics would be less crazy if voting were compulsory
Oregon, everyone is basically enrolled in elections and you get a mail in ballot. Seems to work great, especially since you can vote on your couch with Google open and research your local candidates.

Then just put it in the mail. Or not if that's your thing.

ngold··on Game developers sharing their salaries on Twitter
Good for you. You are not part of the problem, you figured out how to get a 4 year degree and they paid you for it.

The problem how I see it is the lack of recurring revenue from your work. Sure pay shit, bUT if the game makes a billion dollars, you get a check every month.

Employee owned businesses are the only hope I see for the future.

ngold··on Google’s approach to replacing the cookie is drawing antitrust scrutiny
So we knows it's you, but you are a integer.
ngold··on Email from Jeff Bezos to employees
Gotta hedge your bets, but I'm glad that I don't shop at diapers.com.
ngold··on Google Stadia shuts down internal studios, changing business focus
I would like to know which projects are not under sourced? That's not adsense.
ngold··on How to stream media using WebRTC and FFmpeg, and why it's a bad idea
Streaming really is just downloading without the saving part.
