djbeadle··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I have noticed in many places in the USA residential addresses especially are very incomplete on OSM.
djbeadle··on Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?
The app Dark Sky (on iOS at least) sends pressure data from my device.

If you want to be a more active weather participant check out the mPing project.

djbeadle··on New iPad Pro with LiDAR Scanner and trackpad support
I can only speak for myself, I bought an 11" iPad Pro to have something much lighter and portable than my laptop that I could carry everywhere, write long form text on, and edit photos.

Importing and editing a single photo is easy, but if I want to work on a whole batch it becomes a pain trying to manage many files using file system.

So far the best solution I've found is to pay for Adobe cloud storage, import my photos to the Lightroom app (thus not polluting my camera roll) and let Adobe sync everything to my desktop where the photos eventually live on an external hard drive.

Side note: Despite this the actual act of manipulating photos on the iPad are fantastic. I love being able to shoot an event and then start editing a couple photos for promotional purposes right then and there. Overall I love my big expensive tablet.

If other people have developed iPad / iOS photography workflows I'd love to hear them!

djbeadle··on Show HN: Create and mail a free postcard
I have been a big fan of https://www.thesimplepostcard.com/ which lets you text photos to them.

djbeadle··on FBI Files on Steve Jobs
Page 184 describes an extortion attempt.
djbeadle··on FBI Files on Steve Jobs
Surprise humor on page 129. It is (I believe) an internal fax to the FBI Director. Besides the normal cover letter stuff it contains a drawing of a man in a trench coat saying "The fax man, and nothing but the fax."
djbeadle··on Ask HN: What do you do with your free tier or dirt-cheap VM?
I use the Digital Ocean $5/month VM to self host my static website (generated via Hugo although I'm not thrilled with it) on Apache, run Grafana and an InfluxDB server and experiment with Unix.
djbeadle··on An always-available, online-capable Raspberry Pi in your pocket
I've been trying to do more work on my iPad Pro recently. Mostly I work over SSH but I do miss having a full desktop environment. Can you add any more details about how people use this?

I assume the Pi broadcasts a WiFi hotspot and then they use some Remote Desktop software, but I'd love to know specifics of what people have found works!

djbeadle··on How to install GalliumOS on a chromebook using Chrx
Whoops, I meant to say that I’ve been using Pythonista (which is a Python shell & basic IDE)
djbeadle··on How to install GalliumOS on a chromebook using Chrx
In Vim

CTRL + [

is the same as pressing the escape key, it took me a couple days, but now it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

I’ve been using a combination of (Python shell & IDE), Working Copy (Git, can monitor and commit changes a folder in your iCloud Drive which Pythonista can also access), and Termius for ssh.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit Buffer (editing files on remote server via ssh) into my workflow but haven’t yet.

It’s not perfect, but I like traveling with my iPad more than my MacBook Pro because it’s smaller and as an added bonus I can also edit photos from my DSLR on it.

djbeadle··on How to install GalliumOS on a chromebook using Chrx
That’s a good starting point, thanks!
djbeadle··on How to install GalliumOS on a chromebook using Chrx
Can anyone recommend a small, durable Chromebook (or other laptop) that plays well with Linux? The Dell XPS-13 looks amazing but that’s a little over my budget at the moment.

I’ve been coding on an iPad Pro via SSH but would like to have a full Linux desktop environment.

djbeadle··on 500-Year-Old Body of Man Wearing Thigh-High Boots Found in London Sewer Build
Maybe someone with a more indepth understanding of genealogy can answer this question:

If you were to sequence this man's genome and add it to the 23 & Me database (or some similar service) would you be able to get any interesting results?

Is there an existing database of historical DNA sequences available for comparing against?

djbeadle··on Ask HN: Which sites/platforms do you wish had an API?
I would really like to programmatically download my tracks. I guess I could make all tracks public and then scrape the my feed page, but a more elegant solution would be nice.
