partiallogic··on Ask HN: What video games do you play during the day?
Skater XL on a Steam Deck
partiallogic··on Why can’t you buy a good webcam?
Can you recommend any dslr models or what to look out for when buying used with the intention of only using it as a webcam?
partiallogic··on Uber cuts 3000 more jobs, closes 45 offices
This is always brought up as the game plan but are there any examples where this worked out?
partiallogic··on Start your open-source career
My employer pays me per hour I contribute to open source
partiallogic··on Ubuntu now available from the Windows store
Exactly, I already choose Macs as the build time on a 15” MacBook Pro from 2015 is half that of a 2016 XPS 15” running Windows 10. It’s twice again if you use WSL on the Dell. Fedora natively on the Dell gets a lot closer to the Mac
partiallogic··on If companies interviewed tech recruiters the way they interview programmers
This is the first one I’ve seen in response to the translator one and would love to see more.
partiallogic··on My 2015 MacBook Pro Retina Exploded
I'd be interested to know how the bathroom tiles look and whether people recommend to do the same in a similar situation.
partiallogic··on Finding an Alternative to Mac OS X
I really hoped this would be good but in it's current form it just seems too unstable and small incompatibilities that screw you. I ended up going nix vm on my work issued XPS 15 and things are going great.
partiallogic··on Ionic OCR demo
I will jump on this project as an example of PWA using ionic2, thanks
partiallogic··on MacOS FileVault2 Password Retrieval
Would really want to know this as not everyone wants to upgrade their OSX
partiallogic··on Yahoo installed a backdoor for the NSA behind the back of the security team
They do in Spain, it covered data protection laws & professional ethics and was in the third year of the four year degree
partiallogic··on Apple 13" MacBook Pro review: the best computer you shouldn’t buy
I don't think there are any that provide enough power for the pro
partiallogic··on Swift and the Legacy of Functional Programming
I find it easier to read but I'd struggle to come up with it myself from zero
partiallogic··on Ask HN: Who is firing?
9 months into my first developer gig and the company is taking a change of direction which involves making half the office redundant. I've opted for VR as it feels like staying would just be delaying the inevitable.
partiallogic··on Apple File System
Paging @siracusa
partiallogic··on Tell HN: Don't post if you're not actually hiring
I concur, very similar experience.
partiallogic··on Raspberry Pi Zero: the $5 computer
I picked one up because why not but now I need to also buy several adapters so that I can use it.
partiallogic··on Goodbye Moto
Published from the future!
partiallogic··on Ellen Pao Is Stepping Down as Reddit’s Chief
On the reddit podcast Alexis said it was about wanting celebrities to be a part of the community.
partiallogic··on Batteriser: a gadget that extends alkaline battery life
Yes but he's asking why the DEVICES don't incorporate the technology. If for example Apple could claim 8x battery life in their keyboard by adding a 10cent piece of kit you'd think they'd do it.
partiallogic··on [dead]
I enjoy the show but this sort of stuff is getting old fast

partiallogic··on YC S15 invites will be sent out today
Exciting, going to be a long nervous night.
partiallogic··on Hacker Monthly will publish its final issue 12 months from now
I discovered Hacker Monthly a little over a month ago and subscribed straight away. I rarely visit HN as my schedule doesn't permit it so having a curated well formatted chunk of stuff to read when I can was amazing and pretty much led me to buying a new iPad. I'm gutted that HM is coming to an end but greatly appreciate that it isn't an abrupt end and I still have a whole other year of issues to look forward to. I'm so grateful for your hard work over all these years and having access to all the previous issues gives me a huge amount of content to make my way through. Good luck with all your future endeavours!
