olgeni··on I track my boyfriend's movements because I want to trust him more, not less
If anybody "demands access" to anything, just feel free to kick them out of your life (or install a fake GPS app and have some fun traveling around the world).
olgeni··on Italia Startup Visa
"Guts" for what? Did you notice that we stopped even having elections? Sorry, but I don't see why people should sacrifice themselves and their families just to keep this up.
olgeni··on Italia Startup Visa
On a more positive note, the State will probably kill the company way before it's noticed by criminals.
olgeni··on Skipping fsck during boot with systemd?
Uhm. What does "decided it was time to run fsck on my 1TB hard drive" mean? Decided how?
olgeni··on The Move from Linux to FreeBSD
> The only things I miss are: Dropbox and Android SDK

I am actually using devel/android-tools-adb with the SDK under Linux emulation and it works quite well.

olgeni··on Systemd is nice. Dont be afraid
Had Microsoft attempted to pull even 10% of systemd on Linux a few years ago, the wailing would have reached the highest heavens. And "frankly, after ShellShock," learn to use a less bloated shell for init scripts.
olgeni··on Apple Doesn’t Design for Yesterday
As always, Apple is Great, Apple is Tomorrow but I still find myself stuck in iTunes Connect, trying to parse generic and insignificant error messages that result in hours wasted for no apparent reason. Fonts are cute, but let's give a look at the backend sometimes.
olgeni··on Poll: Will you upgrade to OS X Yosemite right away?
After cleaning up the mess of iOS 8, maybe in 3 months.
olgeni··on Brunch Is for Jerks
Never mind, I stopped at "white people".
olgeni··on Lennart Poettering on the state of open source communities
Well, the "western, white, straight, male, blah, blah" rhetoric should at least bring out some pavlovian support these days. Maybe it's time to replace Linus as BDFL, and this could be a fine tactic too.

I stopped caring so long ago that I wasn't even hit by pulseaudio, so both Lennart and Mr. Drepper have my sympathy and support, as long as they keep to Linux (thankyouverymuch).

olgeni··on Why CLisp is under GPL
Is the thing still being developed?
olgeni··on When OS X Won Me Over
I'm sold.
olgeni··on SF people, you are hypocrites using services like Uber and Lyft
At least he forgot "straight".
olgeni··on Where have you gone, Peter Norton?
Also ytree: http://www.han.de/~werner/ytree.html
olgeni··on Your next conference should have real-time captioning
In Italy it was the other way around - steno was cheaper for some reason, but there were issues with foreign words / names / etc. I used to do this stuff for a while and I saw the most incredible things go on air on both sides...
olgeni··on Your next conference should have real-time captioning
Nuance's SDK, but unfortunately "automated" is out of question with that...
olgeni··on Your next conference should have real-time captioning
If you actually repeat the speech into the microphone, you can go quite a bit higher.
olgeni··on Why Use Windows
"The only thing I have lost since switching is the smug self-righteousness..."

(well...)

olgeni··on The worst thing about Silicon Valley techno-libertarianism
"Whitey obsession."
olgeni··on So, is this me? or is this icon sexist? you decide.
"Everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

Just be glad that the man is blue. If you just erased him, he would actually be... white. oh noes

olgeni··on Ask HN: What's on your desk?
Line-printer Snoopy calendar for the year 1969?
olgeni··on Ask HN: Do you agree on these screening shortcuts when hiring tech developers?
He is setting himself up for a "Mark Russinovich walks into a bar" kind of joke...
olgeni··on We launched our first app,'The Gentlemen's Alarm Clock', not doing so hot
Just use Sergeant Hartman's voice.
olgeni··on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: the cloud platform of choice
As long as you don't get stale packages plagued by unfixed bugs.
olgeni··on Memories of Steve
They were patented soon after.
olgeni··on Ask HN: why do adobe CC use /dev/disk?
You can run "diskutil activity" and find out where all the disks actually came from.

For instance I have a disk4s2 that is actually a Flash installer DMG mounted:

*DiskAppeared ('disk4s2', DAVolumePath = 'file:///Volumes/Adobe%20Flash%20Player%20Installer/', DAVolumeKind = 'hfs', DAVolumeName = 'Adobe Flash Player Installer') Time=20140412-21:05:18.6399

olgeni··on Erlang/OTP 17.0 has been released
After R16, we actually ended up packaging our own Erlang debs at $WORKPLACE (libssl depencency mismatch in latest wheezy; mismatched sources for xmerl & others; packages generated from a commit different than the release, with most app version numbers wrong; missing crypto applications because of some unknown reason, etc...)
olgeni··on Shit Men Say to Women Founders
Yet another round of buzzword bingo. I paused at "shit", searched for "white", "straight", "cis", found all three, and quickly closed the tab.
olgeni··on IOS Appstore Support, only replies with pre-defined message templates why?
Lawyers perhaps?
olgeni··on Linux developers considering On-screen QR codes for kernel panics
Did anything bad happen to proper kernel dumps?
