tim44··on Ask HN: How many tabs do you have open?
41 over 5 windows. With whatever I'm doing at the time, I tend to keep those in a window. I've tried different extensions to keep track/save, but eventually have to bite the bullet and close whole windows after a quick looksy. 99% of the time I can immediately find what I've closed in one search, but that 1% is a bitch. If things get real bad, I might do a quick review and consolidation :) I never really don't have sessions open.
tim44··on Google sues me for using the word “droid” in my company name Orpheusdroid
If the product isn't directly competing, that is insane to call a common word or phrase intellectual property. Before you know it somebody will try to trademark taco tuesday.
tim44··on Show HN: I made a computer vision addon for Blender
Nerb here. I can't say what this does but build a frame for ai comparison? Blender doesn't need so much eyes anyways? Buuuuut it doesnt have them either in this way?
tim44··on Shmig: Database migration tool written in bash
Yeah, this is like manual vs. an electric can opener. Sometimes it's nice to have a posix script you can just drop in. I use a 200+ line bash script to set up/manage/and use my python environments and projects instead of python.
tim44··on AMD Announces Ryzen Threadripper Pro: Workstation Parts for OEMs Only
Just run the whole thing off steam and a boiler. Can you imagine having a whistle too.
tim44··on $100M in bounties paid via HackerOne to ethical hackers
agree. and the term "hacker" has been driven through the ground and back up so many times its lost and changed meanings. Now "i got hacked" is akin to the dog ate my homework or I gave someone my password.
tim44··on Smoking Banana Peels Is the Greatest Drug Hoax of All Time
It would pass quickly enough for me and was never so bad my buddy or I had to vomit. And my prep was just to smash them up small and slowly chew the hard bitter little pieces. Maybe 4-8 seeds in one go.

I've had Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds a few times. Pretty cool.
tim44··on How the Irresistible Lure of Curiosity Is Generated in the Brain
This is the first I've heard about this topic, but what's different about intrinsic curiosity to me is that its a record, theres some of yourself in there, you are testing your own experiences against the world from a beginning point of recalled experience in the moment, rather than I guess exploitation-exploration is throwing things at the wall? But I'd guess that still comes from a place of intrinsic curiosity even if we can't see it.
tim44··on Create your own dysfunctional single-page app
I'm building something that's very single-page app for the first time. A project to use flask, sqlalchemy, and ajax and really just do some fun flashy things, not necessarily practical things, but I do feel like the SPA space is much better than last I'd looked. I definitely see how it's easy to create something bad in a SPA doing it all yourself. My code right looks like that horse, with 500 lines of jquery full of repeating functionality still in snippet form. But really, the horses face is just as ugly as his ass.
tim44··on Firefox removes core product support for RSS/Atom feeds
What companies want torrent form? You have them host your data?
tim44··on A Taco Truck on Every Corner, or Not?
I love taco trucks, and I'm a pretty picky eater. My probably weekly order is about: 6 tacos asada, no salsa, 4 jalepenos, radishes and extra limes. Maybe a plate of rice. Proceed to cover the taco in deadly amounts of salt and lime. What I can't ever seem to do is find a "street taco" in a mexican restaurant that's near as good tasting.
tim44··on Ask HN: Do you do drugs while coding?
I like your seeing the big picture remark. I've felt before like I best understood a system, high. Mostly for me it makes for half refactored code. It's better to smoke and browse documentation/learn.
tim44··on Show HN: OpenArena Live – OpenArena in the Browser Using WebRTC
To me, this is amazing. Client to client quake and server? I would expand on this.
tim44··on Ask HN: How worried should I be about electromagnetic radiation in my home?
Devil's advocate, how long have we been measuring cancer, cell phones for any conclusion? an instant? how young are the methods and data. How pervasive are things that we might measure wifi person vs non-wifi person objectively enough? Considering nothing counts for the wifi moment and all experiments and experiences flawed, how much data are you comfortable passing through your loved ones monthly? ;)
tim44··on Show HN: OpenArena Live – OpenArena in the Browser Using WebRTC
Very cool. Did quake live work this way with WebRTC? I think Quake3 still feels great to play. Anyone out there playing instaunlagged anywhere?
