yeezul··on Let 'localhost' be localhost
What if I develop something on localhost, and two months later I decide I want to test/implement a feature on Android/iOS.

Do I have to remap my whole localhost development in order to be able to access my localhost from a tablet?

Having Mr. Freeman tell me which directions to take will definitely make road trips more fun.
yeezul··on Search “/usr/bin/git”
Ah... I see. I suppose that kind of makes sense.

However, as you mentioned, I see plenty of people's personal config files, such as the many sublime text settings folders, or other .xml files.

Can someone ELI5 what we're supposed to see here?

yeezul··on Only 1.2 Percent Are Using Android Marshmallow on Their Devices
Because software upgrades more often than not includes a lot of bells and whistles. You can go ahead and try to update a Pentium 3 to Windows 10. Will probably work, but it wasn't intended to.

ELI5: Why can't a corporation that offers a free service (search) be allowed to promote its business through their own services? If I own a bar, why shall I be forced to show ads for the next door bar's happy hour instead of promoting mine?

Somehow this thread reminds me of Wall-e.
yeezul··on New “Shingled” Hard Drives Hold Terabytes for Pennies a Gig
I can't seem to see the benefits of this, considering a regular 4TB HDD seems to go for ~$140-150[1].

I could understand if speeds were similar or prices or way lower compared to a traditional HDD, but is it really worth the extra SATA connector you'd gain?

Besides, I'd personally take the risk of loosing 4TB at once instead of 8.

yeezul··on Ask HN: How do I get my team to write better code?
I highly recommend (to everyone here for that matter) the book Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship by Robert C. Martin. It deals specifically with the mistakes you've mentioned in your post, such as hardcoding and naming functions.

Great easy read. Cheers

If you indeed found your mirror the way it is pictured, I believe someone actually stole your reflective glass.
yeezul··on My Car Got Broken Into – How an Arduino Kit Recovered 65% of My Stuff
Some thief broke into my friend's parking complex and broke into half a dozen cars just to loot their parking change they had in their cup holders.

My friend had a few hundred dollars worth of computer parts in his trunk (works as an on the road technician) and other people had GPS devices in their windows, yet the thief didn't bother looting them.

I suppose when you're disperate you grab what ever you can turn into a quick buck/use yourself.

yeezul··on China's Underground Wholesale Markets
Pretty good read. I'd love to go down there and visit some of these shops, just for the hell of it. I buy quite a lot of accessories from AliExpress myself

yeezul··on Ask HN: What to work on?
Concerning uTrim, I'd juste like to point out that you shouldn't limit yourself only to .edu. I'm a Comp. Science student at Concordia Unviersity[1] in Montreal, Canada and I personally hate it when certain services are limited to U.S. university users, when in fact they would be extremly useful for other students in different countries that do not use an .edu domain.

As an example, Concordia uses different email adresses depending on your faculty: @jmsb.concordia.ca, @encs.concordia.ca etc.

I believe it would be a good idea if you could implement a way of submiting "new" universities to the list of accepted schools, which can then be handpicked by youself. I suppose ideally a list of most universities available would be better. Dropbox used an amazing email list for their Space Race challange a few years ago, however I can't seem to find it.
