Unix time is always the number of seconds since 00:00:00 Thursday, 1 January 1970 UTC time. Git records the committer's time zone, since the time would normally be converted back i…

Why is this news? A lot of desktop applications do this. The Spotify client used to do it to enable play/pause controls from any webpage. Dropbox also definitely used the same meth…

Could you help me understand your reasoning behind not pairing up with or taking advantage of existing projects like Halium or LineageOS? I'd love to run mainline Linux without any…

Yeah, what raised a red flag when reading this project's description was that having a single kernel for all devices and no compatibility layer like libhybris is unfortunately an u…

I don't think he is talking specifically about Bitcoin, but "the blockchain of diamonds" type of startups that used to be hyped up on HN a year or so ago.

I'm going to take this opportunity to plug my favourite open source project - the Nix package manager[1]. It can work as a universal homebrew replacement (works on MacOS, Linux, WS…

hindsight is always 20/20 i'm sure would appreciate patches for reproducible, cryptographically signed releases

This is a lot simpler and all you need is your phone. It's obviously not meant for pro/enthusiast photography or advanced users. It's a perfect way for a not-so-technologically-sav…

Never needed a plugin for this, just `:set tw=79`

I feel that Nix solves a lot of the same problems in a better way. The ideas implemented in that project have a lot of potential and I wish that the community focused more on user …

Definitely not a beast by any stretch of the imagination, as I got smooth 60fps in all the examples with an i7 4790k and GTX 970 on Windows (Chrome).

As someone who had to abruptly come off venlafaxine due to side effects, I can tell you that it was complete hell. I experienced vomiting, the weirdest, most horrible nightmares ev…

don't you mean psychiatrists, not psychologists?

I don't know about it being a quantum system, but from a psychological standpoint our memories are definitely shaped by the way we perceive and process an event. There was an artic…

yeah, unless the snippet also includes a definition for variable $pcid, there is no proof that the code is actually vulnerable - using such simplistic logic, the stats are likely h…

A dashboard is a web app displaying aggregate data - usually on something like a digital signage display at a company's office - often includes 'vanity metrics' like web traffic da…

FNV was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (founded by ex-Black Isle folks), not Bethesda Game Studios.

The "pros" aren't simply pissed off at the latest MBP. We're pissed off at the continuing trend over the last 5 years of Apple products becoming more difficult or nearly impossible…
