Might as well Ansiblize it :P

Run your own Gitlab instance, it isn't very hard to do. The point is to use Git in a decentralized manner, not circle around one closed platform or another. The main Gitlab instanc…

Yeah, my i5 feels a touch sluggish, and I know it won't get better as I dip into Clojure!

Huh, might end up going for a higher end chip, but I could definitely use that bump in performance! Already got an SSD, optimized kernel and a few other tweaks to get the most out …

Huh, a $100 quadcore ain't half bad, perhaps I should buy one. Looks like it'd be faster than this first gen Core i5 I'm using. Could probably keep the upgrade sub-$250 for RAM/CPU…

Wow, their website literally murdered my browser, anyone have a JS;DR? I don't like my laptop sounding like its about to take off, considering it is usually silent...

Parking minimums service a minority of the population of Seattle, while adding 15% to 20% onto the average rental price. Another angle is the road network in Belltown is well beyon…

The point is development in Belltown has been highly restricted for decades, preventing dense, multi-purpose buildings from being built in that neighborhood. Even the newer buildin…

The terribly restrictive zoning hasn't helped, if we got rid of the height caps and parking minimums that kneecap growth, we would see many more apartments and condos being built. …

LOL, the private schools here are anti-vaxxer havens, when you hear about kids dying of whooping cough or similar in this state, it nearly always is at a private school. Also, its …

You shouldn't have to, Facebook is a poor medium esp. in the context of HN as it is a pain to browse/use on purpose if you don't make an account.

Which is so silly, as closing their code & datasheets just makes it harder to work with their chips and makes users of their products less secure. And that is why you see all these…

Not a very good TLD imo, .me is cheaper/not some weird unheard of string of letters.

Citation? This doesn't match my experience in Austin.

Patently false, I've been to a few camera infested shitholes like the one on 15th and Market in Ballard where they tried to pull this crap on me (and gave up), but outside of that …

Cell phones definitely have caused a notable drop in audio quality. Massive carriers like Verizon for example felt they could compress calls quite heavily, destroying audio quality…

So, why can't we have HD Audio? We know T-Mobile has SIP servers that play nice with others[1] when they aren't walled off, Sprint supports SIP as that is how RingPlus (which suppo…

Unsurprising, the UK is a mass surveillance, dystopian state. Every packet sent over the internet is captured, and the UK has the highest security camera density in the world. Assa…

Are public schools in Brooklyn that bad? I know they're very segregated[1], but the concept of a private school being of better quality than a public school is horrendous. In Seatt…

Why should a toolkit be illegal, and why should you not carry your tools with you? Picking a lock is usually the slowest way in, if you are trying to increase security, paying a pr…

Wow, you are unfamiliar with retail. Sure, you can probably steal small things, but repeatedly stealing larger objects (book size and above) is generally a pain in the ass. Hence w…

Theft rates can get pretty high, look at the Tide theft phenomenon.

What about using worthless phones and masks? For under $5 I can get an Android or a dozen of them, load them up with this app, and be good to go. Need a credit card? No trouble, ge…

How has it been coordinated? Most of these things, like worker harassment which was reported on twice, once perpetrated by a childish CEO who is still in charge, is self inflicted.…

The cost and wiring to power eink displays is too much, due to the USD being fairly stable, prices don't change daily/hourly, which would help eink signage for shelving make sense.…
