electronous··on An FPGA sprite graphics accelerator
For people who are downvoting: it's a meme you probably don't recognize. Do a Google Image Search for the phrase :D

This kills the crab.
electronous··on Supreme court: Aereo is violating copyright law [pdf]
This is precisely why old people shouldn't be anywhere near tech.
electronous··on Bypass PayPal's Two-Factor Authentication
It's shit like this that makes me trust bitcoin. Down with fiat.
electronous··on Houston, We Have A Public Domain Problem
This comes about because nerds are cowards by default. We're entirely too unwilling to really bother to get the message about this sort of thing out to the layperson, and we're even more unmotivated to actually do something about it. I love to lambast the baby boomers as much as the next neckbeard, but at least some of them actually had the chutzpah to do something.

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

That's not how it works, bigot
electronous··on The cover letter that won't go unnoticed
lol, who would want to write jquery for a living?
electronous··on How Soviet Kitchens Became Hotbeds Of Dissent And Culture
> just like they did to Manning for what he revealed.

She, not he

electronous··on Being alone
You're making HN awesome. Keep up the good work!
electronous··on Facebook Removing Option To Be Unsearchable By Name
no apostrophe
electronous··on Two-laser boron fusion lights the way to radiation-free energy
What about a three-laser system?
electronous··on Poking holes in the "Gravity" trailer with NASA's help
The bigger problem with this movie is all the male gaze and gross gender roles, not the slightly inaccurate physics.
electronous··on Twitch rides video game streaming wave to global success
That was a great use of casual bigotry. 5/5 would scoff at again.
electronous··on Michael Dell buys back PC company he founded in $24.8bn deal
Interesting. I had never heard this quote.
electronous··on First Mechanical Gear Found in a Living Creature
God is real.
electronous··on Scroll This
It looks like the lines bend the wrong way. I would expect everything to bend down when I scroll up, but it does the opposite. Very strange.
electronous··on This coupon code is a slap in the face
Just so you know "gipped" is a bigoted remark that's based on the word "gypsy".
electronous··on The Slingatron: Building a Railroad to Space
+1 for the xkcd ref ;)
electronous··on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tenure-track-faculty Life
Another thing to take away from this article: people with kids have less time to spend doing their jobs.
electronous··on Does America need a Pirate Party?
> Anyway, for my money, it's the Libertarian Party that represents the path forward

Time to shave your neckbeard.

electronous··on Bright Explosion on the Moon
oh gawd, reddit is leaking...
electronous··on Startup work-life balance
I actually think you might have the logic flipped here. The only thing that has a real chance of making a lasting impression on the world is science and engineering. Fulfilling your roles as a social person is highly ephemeral.
electronous··on Why Men Can't Have It All
I don't understand the strong insistence on having children that so many people have. Can anyone explain why this is such a big deal?
electronous··on Craigslist posts shown on a map while viewing Craigslist housing
I like this. It's interesting that a viable solution to the Craigslist third party problem is to just make everybody scrape Craigslist. From a purely technical standpoint, that seems rather unfortunate, but I'd rather have a local scraper + Padmapper UI than have no Padmapper at all.
electronous··on Jonah Lehrer Resigns From The New Yorker After Making Up Quotes
I would argue that passing insecure systems off as secure, like what we saw with Tesco today, would count as unethical. That's a case where you can cut corners and nobody might notice for a while, and the system in question seemingly works.
electronous··on Confessions of a 20-Something Startup CTO
This article might have a good point, but it's hard to find it amongst all the "my friends and I are really cool and awesome people" speak.

Does this article, coupled with the fact that the author submitted it himself, strike anyone else as terribly vain?
