desuvaderon Bitcoin Exchanges Are Buckling While the Price Surges Past 16,000

Time to short some futures ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ /s

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if a group of high-net-worth individuals go short (exactly how you described) in order to shake out all the inexperienced traders/investors in the space for a nice profit.

Also, could it not just be CME preparing the underlyings?

desuvaderon Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up

I personally haven't had an issue with disabling telemetry. Also, stumbled upon this a while back (maybe worth checking out): https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10

desuvaderon Intel to Develop Discrete GPUs, Hires AMD's Raja Koduri as Chief Architect

Nothing some hot OTC options can't solve (hah!) - AMD definitely got played.

I am short AMD, long NVDA. Keep an eye open on ER tomorrow.

desuvaderon Ask HN: What is your favorite equation?

Same! Naiver-Stokes & Lattice Boltzmann.

desuvaderon Material Design

I actually like the monospaced font. Maybe it's an unpopular view, but it has really grown on me.

Here is another one: https://design.google.com/

desuvaderon Atom 1.6 Released with Pending Pane Items, Async Git and Top and Bottom Bar API

Atom is (almost) like any normal web app from a performance standpoint. Runs on electron.

No asm.js magic here.

desuvaderon Show HN: I Coded a Vector Field in Canvas (JS)

Very cool! Mine only shows the vectors/direction of flow :c

desuvaderon Developing Our First iOS App with React Native

NPM is a wonderful thing. Sure it has some perf. issues, but JS is growing faster than ever because of it.

And RN is awesome as well. RN for front-end devs is kinda what Bootstrap is for back-end devs (or any dev that doesn't like to touch HTML/CSS). Let's just be happy that we are making progress as a community and be a bit more open-minded.

desuvaderon JS1k JavaScript Code Competition – Demos 2015

Running very smoothly for me. Tested on Chrome 47, Win 10 with 970 strix card.

desuvaderon Atom text editor 1.4 released

Atom still sometimes freezes for me (on computer with high-end specs). Opening large text files also makes Atom freeze. The built in spotlight thing is slow for bigger projects (expected). The overall performance has definitely improved though.

I personally use Atom for lighter development and enjoy how easily accessible plugins are. Very easy to install support for lint tools/editorconfig/snippets/&tc.

desuvaderon Let artificial intelligence guess your attractiveness and age

Jesus christ.

On a more serious note, training set probably didn't include data from Asia.

Edit: Just scrolled down and saw your question (and the answer you received). :C

desuvaderon Martin Shkreli indictment [pdf]

Here are all his live streams. Half of them seem to be investing lessons.

All videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8gjB1PSXv_oAUSAQ16S0fA/vid...

Edit: Not sure if these include videos/recordings from Twitch.

desuvaderon Martin Shkreli Arrested on Securities Fraud Charges

I believe that is his apartment, unless you meant that he maybe lives at a hotel (?).

He is one of the best investors in pharma. Started out as a teenager in hedge funds. Famous for shorting biotech and earning millions.

desuvaderon Linus meltdown on a Git pull

No point in being less aggressive (compared to Linus) when doing code reviews?

I think when you hire someone the least you can expect from them is to not cuss out a co-worker for a mistake.

desuvaderon React v0.14

Refs are simply references to DOM nodes that you have to specify through the ref (HTML) attribute. You can give a DOM node the ref value "foo" and then later reference it in a react component with this.refs.foo (previously this.refs.foo.getDOMNode()).

desuvaderon React v0.14

Wohoo! .getDOMNode() is finally gone!

Edit: Haha, I just noticed that someone else was also happy about this.

Also, now that classnames is standalone module, I recommend that people start using a standalone implementation of keyMirror (for flux) as well!

desuvaderon The 3REE Stack: React, Redux, RethinkDB and Express.js

You can use Babel with node on the back end. See https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/. Definitely not the most ideal solution, but it allows you to easily transition into ES6 when all the features land in node.

desuvaderon The Pixel Factory

Great job, Steven. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this before on the web. This was extremely fun to watch/read. I'll be taking a look at MathBox.js and see if I can build something fun with it as well.

desuvaderon Master Password

I am still using Mitro and I really love it. I am pretty sure their company got acqui-hired by Twitter [0][1].

Sadly, the service might shut down before the end of 2015 because of time/money problems [3].

Holy moly. Looks like I have some cleanup to do :|

desuvaderon Ask HN: As a Full stack developer how do you keep up with all the technologies

It is okay to forget framework-specific syntax/methods. The most important thing is that you get to understand its underlying concepts.

Re-learning a framework/tool is usually pretty easy.
