Funny, I did the same thing with a 5-pack of Zip disks a couple years ago. I ended up buying them though, for a couple bucks. Who else would have? I still have them sitting on my d…

GBA is such a sweet spot for me. My SP is still one of my favorite platforms.

I had success running Slax on an Eee PC 901 a couple years ago. It was 1.6GHz with only 1GB of RAM.

I have an iPad 4 that's mostly used for email and reading HN/blogs in bed. My daily Linux machine is a Thinkpad T430 from 2012. I daily drive a 1993 Saab 9000 -- Can it run custom …

WhiteOps/HUMAN was behind the eBay thing too?

Beech Rd SW. Here's a link to the FB data center location: https://goo.gl/maps/UXrJePXbNNUZQG1H8

The capitalist dream! "Growth" can be infinite along a circular path

> I roughly knew about TCP/IP (partly from seeing the option in StarCraft when connecting to Battlenet in 2001) I feel seen

I think you may have answered your own question, at least in part: > I always seem to find an excuse as to why it's not worth continuing, *right before actually accomplishing anyth…

x = y. Where do you think nation states purchase their tools?

I've been meaning to get into IF forever. Do you mind sharing what system/method in particular has worked for you?

I'd love to see a writeup/documentation on the backend issues you mentioned here. Sounds egregious! Do you have a link to point me to?

Thank you for this. That's the primary thing I wanted to know from this post too. Although I will say having my eyes immobilized also sounds scary. And I feel like I would constant…

> it's just hard to sustain belief that this all leads anywhere I'm with you 100%. I don't want to be there, but there I am. And sometimes it all feels utterly pointless – civiliza…

Sounds neat! I'd like to read a writeup on your build if one exists.

Sign me up too! I have a 48" RCA dumb TV from like 10 years ago and I live in perpetual fear of it dying. My list would be: HDMI input and some kind of speaker, although I'd be wil…

I haven't written anything up for it yet, but I've been thinking about a hackaday post. Ideally I'd like to integrate the other chassis electronic systems at some point too – light…

I'd buy one

Same here with my '93 Saab. I replaced the smart (for its time) HVAC control system with an Arduino running software I wrote, but otherwise it's bone stock. I'd love an electric to…

But isn't "cheating" the norm in real-world jobs too? It's rare that I or any of the developers I work with complete a task without looking something up or asking a question of som…

Wow, had no idea about this! Can you link me to a writeup or something?

This looks like a great resource, but the vast number of grammatical mistakes is really distracting. Some issues are to be expected with a self-published book, but at least in the …

From the article: > Roku is hard at work turning its TV platform into a "next-generation ad platform" [0] while Amazon has been showing ads on FireTV devices for years. Most of the…

I know that feeling exactly. When my wife and I were traveling in the southwest US, we called it "vista fatigue" -- There are only so many times you can be wowed by even the most b…

This is all-around great advice. I heard some similar things on Ricky Gervais' show After Life, and I wrote them down: > It's worth sticking around to maybe make my little corner o…
