dordoka··on Announcing Nylas Mail 2.0
I just retried several times until it got through. Syncing accounts right now. Only problem is I can't find the "File, Edit..." menu on Ubuntu Budgie 17.04, but rest of the functionality works great so far.

Edit: well, I'm low on coffee today. Just press Alt key to show the menu! Not a nylas problem :)

dordoka··on ZFS Root Filesystem on AWS
I was intrigued by the first usable sector exact reason and found out this link that might be an interesting read

dordoka··on MacBook Pro
Thanks for directing me to LaunchBar and Keyboard Maestro. I'm a touch typist, so for me the new touch bar is a no go. Regarding function keys, they are configurable. I'm a programmer: debugging using function keys is been part of my coding live since I can remember. I guess this MBP is not for me. Regarding the waste of space, I don't see that: there's plenty of space. The screen size mandates the amount of space available in the base of the laptop.

I understand Apple's rationale: touch bar = dynamic function keys but, why not keep the physical function and esc keys and add the touch bar on top of that?

dordoka··on Google's “Director of Engineering” Hiring Test
I actually believe they rejected him because he didn't show proper people/social skills. The tone of the post, forgetting the part about his resume, looks like it's written by an angry teenager.

I was interviewed by Google for an SRE management position and I got asked 6 of the OP's questions.
dordoka··on Ask HN: Is web programming a series of hacks on hacks?
The fact that you can reach a massive audience doesn't make any less true that the tooling sucks. If that first fact wasn't true, we would not be commenting on this issue...

I wanted to do the same thing earlier today and found out this that might help. I know that you ask for a gui but just in case:

dordoka··on I am a fast webpage
Please don't consider this as an attack but, I tend to believe that Google is not in the possession of the absolute truth. They even usually contradict themselves.
dordoka··on Apple's AirPods are smart wireless earbuds with a new W1 chip
I do understand that is just my case, but it seems that I have smaller ears (and consecuently, smaller ear conducts) than the average person.

I cannot wear the Apple earphones because they don't fit firmly: they're moving constantly (which generates noise that I hear) AND they tend to fall from my ears, even just sitting down in my computer and moving my head slightly.

I would love to get rid of the cables, but airpods would be even a bigger problem, because at least with the cord they won't hit the floor.

I usually employ in-ear earphones, which come in different sizes and that resolves my problem.

TL;DR: it's not only sports/exercise, there's people with smaller ears :)

dordoka··on How Google obliterated my 4 year old Chrome extension featuring 24k+ users
I was just reproducing the term trademark infringement from the article.

I also do agree that FB here is somehow taking advantage of said laws to send to /dev/null the extension that renders one of their revenue streams ineffective.

I'm no expert in US trademark laws by any means, maybe they're entitled to leverage it for these kind of cases.

dordoka··on How Google obliterated my 4 year old Chrome extension featuring 24k+ users
Don't get me wrong but, would a "do not use FB or Facebook in your extension name" reply be such difficult to respond? In my understanding, support is there to help users (developers in this case).

I agree that the developer should have guessed that by himself, but the real issue here I believe is the lack of any useful response, the automatic takedown of the extension and no way to get any response after "expending" the apparent "two tries" that you get from Google when something like this happens.

dordoka··on How Google obliterated my 4 year old Chrome extension featuring 24k+ users
I do agree that any service might honor the takedown request for the registered trademark infringement.

But what the author refers to is completely another issue: the complete lack of support from Google. The extension author complied with the request. Tried to contact several times an only got canned responses. I guess Google doesn't care much about people that develop for their platform. At least that's what I got from the blog post. Therefore, author's conclusion about developing for that platform seens right.

dordoka··on Safari Tech Preview 8 achieves 100% ES6 support
Actually it exists since Android v3.0 I don't know the exact date because neither Google Play Store nor the release notes from Samsung [0] log version dates.

dordoka··on Shutting down persona.org in November 2016
Sorry if this is off topic, but I have just tried sslforfree. You let it upload via FTP (or FTPS/SFTP) but the query to check if the file is there is done via HTTP. Why not just validate that the domain is mine if the FTP upload is successful? Or maybe even just redownload the file to see if contents match. I don't get it.
dordoka··on IntelliJ IDEA and the whole IntelliJ platform migrates to Java 8
I understand and agree that in corporate enterprise you usually do not control which software is installed in your workstation.

I should note that this JDK 8 migration is for EAP releases (ie early alpha/beta versions of the next major release) and that all installers (windows, osx and linux) offered by Jetbrains come with its own JDK bundled in the installer. So if you happen to work in one of those corporate environments, if you manage to get permission to run this IDEA version, you also get the required JRE to execute the ide included.

dordoka··on Ask HN: Are you programming on your holidays?
Yes, for fun and some serious stuff as well.
dordoka··on SuperTux v0.4.0 – first stable release since 2005
SMB3 has some sliding, more if you are on ice surface. Supertux has a wee bit less than SMB3 on ice surface, but all the time. I guess that´s intended as, well, you are a penguin on an icy world! :)
