notsrg··on Former Google VP Starts a Company Promising Clean and Safe Nuclear Energy
I'm sorry, but claiming natural gas burns clean is blatantly untrue in this decade.
notsrg··on Ask HN: What are the OSS alternatives to iOS/Android?
The project has transitioned to a non-commercial license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) until sustainable funding has been acquired. The code is still open source, but apparently asking to be compensated for work that improves the security of the entire Android ecosystem is too much for FOSS fanatics.
notsrg··on Ask HN: What are the OSS alternatives to iOS/Android?
You can blame the FOSS community for that one.
notsrg··on Ask HN: Which non-technology book has influenced you the most and why?
I read this book every single day on my way to my shitty sales job while getting my CS degree. Enjoy the journey.
notsrg··on Ask HN: Which non-technology book has influenced you the most and why?
I think the greatest part about GEB is he'll talk about a topic (that sometimes went over my head) for a chapter and then revisit that same topic in a more approachable way using a dialog between Achilles and a tortoise. Some of those dialogs were some of my most entertaining reads ever.
notsrg··on Going native
Been happily using postman for a couple years now and happily don't care that you called an electron app a native app. Sorry HN is so aggressively pedantic!
notsrg··on CIA malware and hacking tools
If anything Wikileaks presented a pretty ripe opportunity to replace Clinton with a candidate that could beat Trump in the general election. Nobody seized it and the Dem's lost. But yeah, blame Russia.
notsrg··on Django 1.11 beta 1 released
If your Django project is a million lines of code you're going to appreciate mixins and CBV's. Most built in views are moving to CBV's as well (see login/logout/password reset/etc in 1.11).
notsrg··on SecureDrop – An open-source whistleblower submission system
Agh the old "questioning American hegemony, therefore traitor" act. Please enlighten me how spying on virtually every single government on the planet (ally or not) is "unquestionably legitimate".
notsrg··on A US-born NASA scientist was detained at the border until he unlocked his phone
Because none of those companies actually care about privacy? (sans maybe Apple).
notsrg··on Mirroring US climate data
Surprised there's no comment here regarding the claim that using Dropbox is anonymous...
notsrg··on GitLab 8.13 Released with Multiple Issue Boards and Merge Conflict Editor
I am continuously blown away how quickly Gitlab is pushing out releases. It's been amazing to see the product grow over the years.
notsrg··on Ask HN: What book have you given as a gift?
Any idea where I can find a copy of this?
notsrg··on The Toronto Raptors are using IBM’s Watson in the draft
Shit is hot up in the 6

notsrg··on How we’re changing Colombia through open-source communities
Any suggestions for other ways in which I can help? I've always envisioned that access to technology and the internet was going to help a lot of the developing countries catch up, but I feel like we're still so far away from that actually happening.
notsrg··on How we’re changing Colombia through open-source communities
Bought a sticker, it's not much but I hope it helps.
notsrg··on Ask HN: Which book are you reading these days?
A People's History of the United States - Howard Zinn
notsrg··on Dropbox Versus The World
"Your whole computing environment ought to follow you around," explains Houston. "Your financial records, your health information, your music playlist . . . anything that’s ‘mine.’

I really hope no one is storing their financial records and health information on Dropbox...

notsrg··on Obama to encourage companies to share cyber threat data
Yeah, this. I won't trust them with anything, ever.
notsrg··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
Whoops, I forgot to answer your first question. But yes, we are using Gravatar.
notsrg··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
0.3.0 is now merged into master
notsrg··on Let's Chat – open source, self-hosted chat for small teams
This wasn't exactly "an attempt to improve user experience". It's a hack day project that we use internally to help the different BU's communicate. The bonus is we get to have fun with it because we wrote it.
notsrg··on A recreation of the first level of Super Mario Bros. in Python
I'm pretty sure you care more about this than Nintendo ever will. Get off your high horse. As someone who has never used PyGame, this is really cool to look into and learn from.
