On A serious note about the UI though, that red/green colour is awful for colourblind people. Didn't even realise there were two colours at first.
timlyo··on Ask HN: What is your hardware/garage side-project?
Which current sensors are you using? This sounds interesting.
timlyo··on WikipediaP2P
I don't think it would work all that well with content that changes so often.

timlyo··on IoT Goes Nuclear: Creating a ZigBee Chain Reaction
Trying to learn some more about crypto, what sort of answer would you be looking for? Would Diffie-Hellman be appropriate?
timlyo··on Show HN: Wing – A minimal, responsive CSS framework
This seems pretty similar to pure. Also 4kb with similar features, although pure can be broken down to load singular modules therefore even less than 4kb. Not sure if wing has that feature.

There's also an extension to make it easier to do

I've started using haml recently, it handles this for you and works well for me.
timlyo··on Project Tofino – A browser interaction experiment by Mozilla
Maybe something like close all tabs open in the past 10 minutes as well, although I'm not sure how this could be done as elegantly.

The moving core is created by radioactive material heating up the core and creating convection currents.

timlyo··on Forget Comcast. Here’s a DIY Approach to Internet Access
>You have the freedom to use the network for any purpose as long as you don’t harm the operation of the network itself, the rights of other users,

You could argue that taking all the bandwidth is harming the network.

> or the principles of neutrality that allow contents and services to flow without deliberate interference.

As long as no service was prioritised, e.g. every user gets an equal fraction of the bandwidth, then it is still neutral.

Funny how a website specialising in no JavaScript doesn't work without JavaScript.
timlyo··on John Carmack on Inlined Code (2014)
I think Jetbrains ide's also have this. It's been a while though.
timlyo··on USB 3.0 Radio Frequency Interference on 2.4 GHz Devices (2012)
The study says the interference is there if the disk is being accessed or not. Wrapping it in tinfoil seemed to make a difference though.
timlyo··on Gimp 2.9.4 Released
Krita is a great program, but it's designed for digital painting rather than image manipulation.

Asyncio?

I hate those high pitched buzzers for teenagers. I'm in my 20s and can still hear them.
timlyo··on Dwarf Fortress Development
It's very different, but Rimworld gives me a similar feel to dwarf fortress in regards to depth, and has a far better interface.

Not that it's close to done yet.

timlyo··on Huge helium discovery 'a life-saving find'
What makes it useless/helium 3 useful?
timlyo··on Results of Rust Survey 2016 – early draft for internal usage

timlyo··on Blade Runner re-encoded using neural networks
It's saying down for scheduled maintenance for me, anyone got a mirror?
timlyo··on Pills: A simple responsive CSS grid for humans
I like simple libraries like this that do one thing well. Too many web libraries try to do everything, when all I don't need anywhere near that much.
timlyo··on Android re-engineered for PC. Meet Remix OS.
I just don't really get why I'd want Android on my desktop/laptop. I can't imagine the interface being anything but clunky.
