I also got a C2 and briefly connected it via WiFi before I had the Apple TV. After hooking up the Apple TV I turned WiFi and thought I was all set, but it keeps turning WiFi on by itself and checking for updates which is really annoying. Might do a factory reset to clear out the WiFi password.
Re:Why Timber Towers Are on the Rise in France on Wednesday November 01, 2017 @11:55PM (#15607723)
We just moved into our new office space in what is supposedly the largest timber office building in the US [0]. In the interior, nearly all the wood is exposed and it looks really cool.

The outside of the building is sheathed in some sort of metal, I presume to protect the wood, but they even did a good job of making the metal look cool too.

I guess I was hoping for a composer-like versioning system, but I suppose that's not a given?

I'm surprised to not see any mention in the comments about the biggest change coming in 1.6: the package vendoring mechanism. This has been a big missing piece for awhile and I'm glad they're addressing it in an official way.

I was super excited for the cross compilation abilities on Go 1.5 and now I have something else to be super excited for in Go 1.6, can't wait!

Good to know. How many iterations did you use to generate the images on github?
Re:Show HN: I rendered the Go gopher using Go on Friday February 06, 2015 @11:54AM (#9009877)
I was surprised at how little code it takes to generate the gopher, using your library, that's cool.

I started generating the gopher locally abd let it go through one iteration, taking 4:34, until I realized it takes 1000 iterations to fully render :) I killed it.

Re:Luna – Hack your sleep on Tuesday January 27, 2015 @03:30PM (#8955591)
We have a queen mattress with a pillowtop - so its taller than a standard queen. Would this work with the queen size Luna product?

It likely wouldn't reach the bottom of the mattress, but it seems like that shouldn't be a big deal.
