danielsamuels··on Soundcloud for the Desktop
You could download the Soundcloud tracks into a directory and add the directory to Spotify.

Checkout the source code (over HTTPS) and compile it yourself then?
danielsamuels··on Dear open-source maintainers, a letter from GitLab
Perhaps if they had the same uptime, page load speed and UX as Github, I would consider it. Unfortunately we tried it for a week at work and none of us could figure out our way around it (when it was working).
danielsamuels··on Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally
Oh lordy, I had no idea! Thank you so much for the links!
danielsamuels··on Dear GitHub
I know they've only recently released new permissions for organisations, but they're still extremely lacking. As far as I can see, there's no way of setting permissions at a group level.

As an example of how this would be used, we have a Github team within our organisation which is used for non-technical people to post bugs. These people have no reason to be able to see or push code to the repository, they only need to be able to create issues. This applies to every repository in the organisation. As far as I can see, and without manually adding every single repository to the team, there's no way of setting global permissions permissions for a team. This seems like a major oversight to me.

danielsamuels··on Dear GitHub
I've used Bitbucket for years and I've never seen "multiple assignees for an issue" as something which is available. I've just looked at a couple of our (private) repositories and I still can't see how you would do it. Either that feature doesn't exist or it's used in an extremely obscure manner.

It's a shame that the .se is all that seems to be left of it, the .io version was far superior.
danielsamuels··on How I Built a Side Project
Would you consider open-sourcing your work now that it's no longer live?
danielsamuels··on Twitter’s updated Mac app wasn’t made by Twitter
Having it as a separate app allows me to do this: https://i.imgur.com/2b1rkb6.jpg
danielsamuels··on Move Fast and Fix Things
I wish they would add the ability to fast-forward merge from pull requests. I know many large projects (including Django) accept pull requests but don't merge them on Github simply because of the mess it makes of the history.
danielsamuels··on Are women really better than men at furniture assembly (as IKEA claim)?
But it didn't show that to be false. The comment you replied to proves it.
danielsamuels··on HTTP/2 is here. Goodbye SPDY? Not quite yet
So in theory it's not required but in practice it is? And to think it used to be IE which didn't follow specs.
danielsamuels··on HTTP/2 is here. Goodbye SPDY? Not quite yet
Is it possible to use HTTP/2 without SSL yet? I tried it a few weeks ago and my browser was just downloading a 4KB file with some random bytes in it, I assume this was the server response but it wasn't clear.
danielsamuels··on Gmail, We Need to Talk
> And the other day, I had to spend the whole day troubleshooting rendering differences between Outlook and GMail.

We just build the template in Mailchimp and export it out as HTML nowadays. Never had an issue with that workflow.

danielsamuels··on Activision to Buy King Digital for $5.9B
The entirety of OMGPOP was incredible, it was one of the best online gaming platforms I've ever seen.
danielsamuels··on How I missed an engineering interview after getting singled out by Münchner cops
> Really, people who expect an encounter with the cops to be respectful, convenient, not humiliating, fair, decent, honest, voluntary, or inexpensive are a part of the problem.

All of the encounters I've had with British police have always been fantastic, they're always respectful, tell you exactly what they're stopped you for, what's going to happen next. I'm glad I live in a country where I don't have to fear the police.

danielsamuels··on Cops are asking Ancestry.com and 23andMe for their customers’ DNA
Even if they did provide that service, how would you prove they weren't storing the data anyway?
danielsamuels··on ShareX – Open-source screenshare software
Depending on what you use ShareX for, Mac2Imgur could be useful for you.

danielsamuels··on GitHub supports Universal 2nd Factor authentication
You've been able to use Google Authenticator with Github for years.

danielsamuels··on GitLab 8.0 released with new looks and integrated CI
Just seems weird for the conversation to be about how someone refuses to switch to it, that's all. :)
danielsamuels··on GitLab 8.0 released with new looks and integrated CI
The Mattermost preview screenshot is an odd choice - have a read of the conversation.
danielsamuels··on Show HN: HTML5 version of StarCraft
You can use the rawgit to view the current version (1.0) - https://rawgit.com/gloomyson/StarCraft/master/index.html
danielsamuels··on Slack Poker Bot
He covered that in his second sentence.

> But there's so little in the way of communication density (even in 'compact mode')

danielsamuels··on Spotify Just Got Real Creepy with the Data It Collects on You
I had the new privacy policy appear when I opened the app this morning and had to accept it to continue. Probably just rolling out over time.
danielsamuels··on Spotify Just Got Real Creepy with the Data It Collects on You
I would guess that the new sensor usage and GPS data is for the Spotify Running feature which was announced a while back. From what I remember, it changes your songs based on your running speed. Makes sense to require this additional data.
danielsamuels··on OnHub
Two Google services working together? Don't be silly!
danielsamuels··on No Cheating Allowed
What happens if you reconnect and submit the answer before the hint request goes? Seems like a classic race condition.
