nullbyte··on Linus Torvalds Shares His Thoughts on Microsoft’s New-Found Love for Linux
The only problem with this is that there are thousands of business-critical applications that are designed for the Windows NT kernel... Many of them have deep integrations with the operating system.

Just think of all the Steam games that are only available on Windows!

nullbyte··on Stupid Alexa Trick: Speaking French with a Horrible American Accent
Thank you Raymond Chen, very cool!
nullbyte··on Yellowstone National Park’s Sound and Video Libraries
Very cool stuff! I highly recommend that everyone visit Yellowstone, at least once in their life.

It's hard to believe a place so beautiful actually exists.

nullbyte··on Brain research on boys’ preference for video games and girls’ for social media
I know the mods hate when we complain about paywalls. But I fking hate paywalls.
nullbyte··on Bike crash left Spokane man unconscious, so his Apple Watch called 911
"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

edit: its a reference to the ads, you bozos.

nullbyte··on Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
Good point. For perspective, this is happening in Southern California, LA area.
nullbyte··on Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
Is this for real?

Do you have sources for the last 2 statements?

nullbyte··on Cleaning up bad bots
Wednesday.
nullbyte··on Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
Juuls are pervasive in modern day high school. Either you have one or your friend has one.

My little sister told me that the bathrooms are basically used vape-stations between classes now, and most people have tried it.

nullbyte··on Modern C, Second Edition
A little off topic, but that is some terrible art on the book cover.
nullbyte··on Show HN: I made a jobs board for developers without degrees
Well there's your mistake. If you apply through their website, you're instantly being funneled into an HR tool that weeds out anyone without a BS in CS.

The trick is to get in contact with that company's recruiters using a site like LinkedIn. Establish a bit of rapport, send your resume and portfolio, and let them handle setting up your phone screening and technical on-site.

Recruiters are an amazing resource in our industry and are great for getting your foot in the door... Especially when you're being blocked by those automated HR filters.

nullbyte··on Ask HN: What Neural Networks/Deep Learning Books Should I Read?
Reading through the first module, this looks great! Lots of helpful graphics and code examples.

Thanks for sharing.

nullbyte··on Why has examine.com disappeared from search results?
Look at an Examine page for a specific supplement. It gives immensely useful information and links to plenty of studies.

Examine is definitely my favorite site to use when researching Nootropics.

nullbyte··on Amateur radio digital communications 44.0.0.0/8 partial sell-off
Even so, we're left with less space than we had before. To my knowledge the FCC is pretty liberal with dishing out public RF spectrum ranges to private entities, but they're much more conservative with turning over private RF ranges to the public.

Every part of the RF spectrum that the public loses is unlikely to be reclaimed. We have less airspace, permanently.

nullbyte··on Amateur radio digital communications 44.0.0.0/8 partial sell-off
I don't like mega-corporations stealing away the "public land" of the RF spectrum.

This is like having a nice public park in your neighborhood get replaced with a Goldman Sachs corporate building.

nullbyte··on Microsoft’s Q4 earnings and 2020 expectations
GCP has made some great improvements, and in my opinion has the most intuitive interface for developing cloud apps (ESPECIALLY when compared to an interface like AWS).

If you haven't used it in a while, give it a try!

nullbyte··on The Raspberry Pi 4 needs a fan
I'm hosting a Node.js webserver from my RPi3, I have heatsinks and a case installed with no fan.

Seems to run fine, it's never overheated or throttled for me.

nullbyte··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
This is why NASA needs to get rid of their esoteric drug screening practices. Our space program needs more stoners!
nullbyte··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
I love it, well done!
nullbyte··on Cloudflare Time Services
Couldn't agree more. They offer an amazing service for free; however, we shouldn't forget that they control millions of websites at a DNS level.

That's a lot of power, and a lot of responsibility. If there was an internal breach at CloudFlare, a sizeable chunk of the modern web would be in danger.

nullbyte··on Why we chose Rust
Wait, isn't Bitbucket written in Java though?

Are they rewriting it in Rust?

nullbyte··on 15-Inch MacBook Pro Battery Recall Program
I have this exact MBP 2015 model and my battery is in the process of dying. It has about 45 minutes of usage from full charge to zero.

Looking forward to a free replacement ;)

nullbyte··on BonziBuddy
Oh my god I forgot about this. Brings back good memories.
nullbyte··on Professional Decline Comes Sooner Than People Think
I'm 21 and I still hated this article
nullbyte··on Show HN: Rga: ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, Office documents, zip, tar.gz
Are you alleging there is a security issue in this software? It's open source, feel free to show us where.
nullbyte··on YouTube to Remove Thousands of Videos Pushing Extreme Views
Except this is censorship based on political ideologies
nullbyte··on YouTube to Remove Thousands of Videos Pushing Extreme Views
Exactly. The phrasing used in their press release allows them to take down any video they deem offensive.

Censorship is bad for the platform as a whole.

nullbyte··on YouTube to Remove Thousands of Videos Pushing Extreme Views
YouTube gets to decide what a "bigoted ideology" is. That's a sweeping term that can be used as a catch-all for videos they don't like.

I think that this will be bad for the platform overall -- an increase in censorship is never good.

nullbyte··on Use zsh as the default shell on your Mac
It has a ton of great features, but my favorite is definitely the improved tab completion.
nullbyte··on New Swiss studies claim 5G increases body temperature of insects
Inaccurate article.
