Re:GitHub responds to Dear GitHub letter on Friday February 12, 2016 @01:10PM (#11089118)
Absolutely. This feature is such an integral part of a repo that distributes releases that I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention from Github. I, for one, would love to see them provide the checksum for the archives that are published via Releases -- it's not currently available when you create a release and relies on the operator to implement a workaround that creates a digest and publishes it on an external endpoint.

Not even Force Touch is a good example; Android has had getPressure() API since v1.
I thought this standard always existed.

Re:American parenting is killing the American marriage (2014) on Sunday November 08, 2015 @04:54PM (#10530144)
This is extreme. I read this article when it made the rounds last year, and I hated it just as much this time around. Disclaimer: I'm a parent, and I love it. I also love being in a relationship with someone I trust and with whom I can talk about 'grown-up' shit.

Granted, there are definitely parents who hover, worry, or interfere with their kids', but, at least in the circles I run in, these are the exception more than the rule and most certainly don't represent parents (or marriages) at large.

Re:The road from atheism on Sunday October 18, 2015 @11:06PM (#10410872)
Indeed, creativity is the inevitable conclusion I come to when I read diatribes like this. I could expend countless hours wondering, plotting, and diagramming any number of potential (non-scientific) explanations for life as we know it, as well as our eventual, mutual destination.

These explanations would also be creative; the primary reason I don't do this is because I have far more interesting and important things with which I choose to concern myself.

Re:Ask HN: First time working remote, what do I need to know? on Sunday September 20, 2015 @09:05PM (#10249868)
I've spent the last two years working remotely. Everything that's been said here is great. I'd especially +1 the comments advising to keep up a daily routine (shower, get dressed, etc); there were days I forgot to brush my teeth because it was so easy to sit down, start coding...8 hours later and you get it.

Also, make sure you deduct the working space. Whether its in your own residence or pay for something like a co-working space, it's tax-deductible.

Re:Bay Area Living in Shipping Containers on Thursday July 30, 2015 @10:48AM (#9975321)
Exactly. I'm in the middle of a cross-country relocation because we decided that the bay area is just too damn expensive for its own good. Since I telecommute exclusively anyway, the move was a no-brainer once we sold ourselves on the idea of leaving the area.

Empathize? Perhaps. But in Carlin's defense, the point he's making doesn't require empathy; it demands attention and consideration.
>The only reason that that is not obvious is that Docker is piggybacking on the relatively excellent and well-developed package management of distributions like Debian and Fedora.

s/well-developed/widely-used

Just because a package manager has a broad user base does not make it excellent nor well-developed. pacman[1] user base is far smaller, but (IMHO) it's a much more refined package manager than apt or rpm.

If you did the same thing for Dogecoin, I can almost guarantee that it would be committed within a day.

jailbreak + nitrous. problem solved. :)
Separating functionality between the two doesn't really make sense to me -- consider it akin to an actor's filmography on IMDb, which lists pretty much everything that they've had a role in.

I, for one, would find it fairly useful.

Nice work, really like this. Question, though -- any particular reason you're not serving the list of actors in an array?
I've used t1.micros extensively with chef -- it's not as bad as you might think.
