BasicObject··on OpenBSD 6.5
Can anyone share if Surface Go support has improved with this release?

Make sure they grow well in your hardiness zone! Just in case people aren't aware of them :-)

Just to add to what has been said here. The three sisters is not the only form of companion planting you can do. There are many. My favorite other examples also include: Strawberries planted next to blueberries and carrots planted next to lettuce. These may not provide as complete nutritional value as the three sisters but they are easy other options.
BasicObject··on Emacs 26.2 Released
Where do they remap space to? I've never heard about that one.
BasicObject··on Jack Dorsey Only Eats One Meal a Day
Care to explain why this would give someone kidney stones? I've been on a variation of the 5-2 diet (eat 5 days a week, fast 2 days a week) for about 7 years. I've had kidney stones once in my life but it was years before I ever tried fasting/keto/5-2.
BasicObject··on I Now Have a Cardiologist
I wonder when there will be tech like this for epilepsy.
BasicObject··on Ask HN: Will you buy a 7 inch smartphone?
No. I want 4.5-5.5 inch phones in 16:10ish ratio. Give me that screen size with good battery life. User replaceable battery. All I need.

How are Bing maps in your area?
BasicObject··on Fasting can improve overall health
Never heard the term "keto breath" before. Haha. Yes but the more water I drink the better the keto breath. It does seem like it would be difficult to do but I was very surprised how much my hunger levels went down.
BasicObject··on Fasting can improve overall health
Monday night after dinner I only drink water until bed. Tuesday I only drink water and black coffee until dinner time. I do this twice a week. Fasting is flexible. You can do it whatever times or days you like. I prefer to fast beginning at night because I sleep through the first part and I've never been a big breakfast person. I pretty much never eat breakfast. Always been a big dinner person so it works well for me.
BasicObject··on Fasting can improve overall health
I drink at least a liter of water to help keep the feeling of hunger away. I learned that if I keep the meal small preceding the fast I don't struggle during the fasting day. Sometimes even if I follow all these rules I may feel hunger regardless after hour 21.

I'm not the best person to ask about energy levels because I take a medication that depletes my energy so I'm drinking caffeine a lot to stay energized. I can honestly say the last hour is the real challenge after doing it this long.

BasicObject··on Fasting can improve overall health
I've been doing 23 hour (dinner-to-dinner) fasts twice a week (not back to back days) for nearly 6 years. It's the easiest form of weight control I've come across. It's nice to see it may extend my longevity as well. Anyone wanting to try it just know the first 2-3 times are the most difficult. It does get much easier after that. I've had blood levels checked and it stunned my doctor. He said my LDL is at the level of child under 10 years old. If anyone has questions about 23 hour fasts I'll gladly answer them.
BasicObject··on Show HN: HeyFromTheFuture – Advice people wish they had at your age
Honestly one of the coolest site ideas I've seen in a long time. I'll be checking back.

BasicObject··on MiSTer: Run Amiga, SNES, NES and Genesis on an FPGA
Slightly off topic but feel this might be a good place to ask... Does a FPGA exist that would allow me to resurrect a 68k Mac SE? I'd love to find something like that.

BasicObject··on Calculus Made Easy (1910)
Thank you for sharing this. Is anyone aware of a text in a similar style but for learning music? Or even programming?
BasicObject··on Gnome desktop instead of Unity in Ubuntu 11.04?
I'm still on 10.04 x86-64. I'm very happy with it. If it isn't dead simple to switch to Gnome Classic in 10.04 I will be switching to Debian. I use my desktop computer for work not play. If I want to just waste time on the web I use my CR-48.
BasicObject··on Ask HN: how's that CR-48 notebook working out for you?
I love the cr-48. The only thing I wish I could have is a full emacs install for use in a tab. I'll be completely satisfied once I figure that out. I have a personal "cloud" at home so it's the perfect complement.

Hardware wise its great. I've had a 14 inch laptop and a 7 inch netbook and this is the sweetspot. It can also run my 23 inch monitor.

The keyboard is similar to my Apple aluminum keyboard (the only Apple product I own and admittedly love). But to my surprise it's more quiet than the Apple keyboard.

The laptop's outer appearance is exactly what I've always dreamed of.

When more mSATA SSD's hit the market I will be upgrading it. I'd like to dual boot chrome OS and a linux distro of my choice.

BasicObject··on Ubuntu 10.4: How to place the window close button on the right again
If you're worried about what side of the window your close button is on, you're doing it wrong. Learn the keyboard shortcuts and move on to more important issues.
BasicObject··on New Steam beta replaces Trident/IE with WebKit
Huge win.

Ignoring the dumb article, does anyone know when the Marvell Computer Plug 3.0 will come out?
BasicObject··on RIM switching to open source WebKit
This is a win for developers everywhere.
BasicObject··on Ask HN: CSS/JS/SVG game IDE?
How about in the form of a browser plugin. Think Firebug. That would be completely amazing and it's definitely possible.
BasicObject··on Matrox reveals M9188. 8 monitors, WDDM 1.1 support coming
Linux support?
BasicObject··on Why don't Macs support multiple monitors?
On Linux there are dynamic window managers available. They automate window placement to maximize use of screen real estate. Many are keyboard driven and seem difficult to use. I usually have 15-30 windows open so I've been looking at them as alternatives to ALT + TAB.
