yachtintransit··on Vanlife, the Bohemian Social Media Movement
It's interesting that Americans go for van's and RV's where as Europeans trend toward sailing. Very similar play.
yachtintransit··on Metro Manila might fix its traffic jam by overhauling a World War II relic
As an US expat in Panama I say , this has nothing on the local "Diablo Rojo" us school busses with a second life as the pirate bus system.
yachtintransit··on Not All Practice Makes Perfect
This happens in learning new languages as well , often speaking quickly the wrong way is counter productive. Speak very slowly at first and focus on being correct
yachtintransit··on In mobile, everything is still wide open
its interesting to look at keystone components in mobile. AFAIK it looks as though identity is the predominant keystone API . if you own identity then you are leveraged across both mobile apps and web.

yachtintransit··on Docker: The good parts
cute headline :) ( at least I think so as a node JavaScript developer ) . all fun aside, I love docker ( and previously vagrant ) as an on demand mobile back end for native iOS and android Dev. it works isolate, disconnected , and can be deployed when I need to stage for reviews . its great !
yachtintransit··on More functional C#
ahh no good! C# + X-Platform = #Remarkable
yachtintransit··on Annual Gnome Bugzilla statistics for 2013
yea but it added (new opened) 25137 and closed 22120. This is a positive metric for open source projects. Im always surprised when people pridefully say we have zero bugs, thats not true they have zero bugs they know about. This is why open source is so great, closed source often means you have no idea how many bugs reported. I always look for os projects with a healthy open and close ratio. I think this is a good things.

yachtintransit··on Ask HN: How would a new OS be different?
I agree with your sentiment regarding innovation is driven by a fee individuals. the good news is that its not about how high the bar is. you Don't need to compete on legacy metrics, you just need to do something that that the other system could never ( or at least with great difficulty ) do. another great thing about os's is they are really not that big once you take out all the vendor fragmentation from different device drivers.

you could really narrow things down by just targeting a specific hardware set set ( like a raspberryPi ). Actually now that I said it, that's the only hw I would target . reduced footprint , experimental user group , arm architecture. its the perfect platform to launch a 'different ' kind of os.

yachtintransit··on IFTTT can now automate actions based on your iPhone's location
wonderful example of how the best mobile app user interface experience is no ui. my mobile device should be my personal proxy for automatically interacting with devices and services.

yachtintransit··on Google’s $179 Moto G puts every single cheap Android phone to shame
I'm surprised they didn't mention more about the Bluetooth 4.0 (low energy) support. I would take ble support over NFC . good writeup otherwise.
