I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

I chose Gitlab for my former company over GitHub Enterprise because we wanted an on-prem solution, and it worked well enough for ~200 folk. We did have to tweak (and occasionally break) a few things, …

Funny to think that way back in 2004, when we were deploying Kannel at a telco to do value-added services, we did a little chat service that worked a lot like... Twitter.

What could possibly go wrong?

The demo works surprisingly well on an iPad mini 4. Amazing, really.

Have a look at Orange ( http://orange.biolab.si/ ). It's a nice toolbox for small datasets.

I simply build all required packages externally to the container and then bake the resulting binaries into the image by adding the requisite file trees. Fairly easy to script after the first two or th…
comment
Well (and this is only an opinion) having to separate each field makes it harder to edit manually, and a new file extension will be a hassle for non-technical users who want to use their favorite edit…

Very neat. Static site generators are hard to get right (I've been hacking away at a hybrid solution at http://sushy.no-bolso.com / http://blog.carmo.io - same engine…

I have a fair amount of code that people can re-use to build their own aggregators, since I did a number of experiments when Google Reader died. One was a Fever clone that had a number of strategies f…

tsocks is gold. Used to use something similar a while back, glad to find it again.

I'm rather partial to Moom[0]. Been using it and the same set of hotkeys (left half, right half, move window to next monitor, etc.) for a couple of years now. [0] https://manytricks.co…

Recently minted Microsoft FTE here. Have Chrome and Firefox installed, do Linux stuff (Azure Cloud Solution Architect, customer-facing position). That "caught using the competition's product…

Wrote about that back in 2011. Surprised to see it's still an issue, really - I changed formats, but there's no reason for the JS to still work that way. http://taoofmac.com/…

I switched to OneNote very recently, and the biggest reason was that I was fundamentally fed up with all the extraneous features: http://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2015/08&…

I don't think any of those apply to production servers (at least not how I picture it).
comment
Actually, the reason I use Ubuntu instead of Debian is that most language runtimes I use (python, for starters) were, for quite a few years, more up-to-date. Of course I could use unstable, but I'…
comment
Two things that irked me:
- child accounts need to have an e-mail address to be manageable under Familiy Safety (which in turn requires you to go to a web site instead of setting time limits locally)

Wow. The Softpot trick reminds me of the way the Russians bugged typewriters (anyone got that link handy?)
comment
We have flat-screen TVs on every floor with an Android box hooked up and paging through our main web sites, their stats and other (non-dev) info. Since you've mentioned Chromecasts, I suggest you…

I was thinking more along the lines of creating a listening socket. There's already some form of URI access in the source.
comment
This is pretty neat, and I hope it will get networking support soon. I've also been keeping track of the NodeJS "equivalents", and am looking forward to being able to use ClojureScript …
comment
If people were to form such an opinion of me based on that, I wouldn't take them seriously as peers. There is no magic involved, and if a git repo ever breaks (which, ironically, last happened on…
comment
Well, for me it's a way to learn how to squeeze more performance from a codebase, and a healthy reminder that not everything on the planet runs on x64 machines. Having to port stuff to a differen…
comment
Actually, there is. Thriftiness, for one, and better planning skills. Testing anything on ARM devices requires a fair amount of patience, skill, and tolerance for when things are different from, say, …

Neat. Anyone else at HN did something like this? Mine is at https://github.com/rcarmo/raspi-cluster (configs and some utilities included)…
