elvecinodeabajo··on For Men Who Hate Talking on the Phone, Games Keep Friendships Alive
Totally. I didn't think about that ever but it's true.

Aversion to the phone calls doesn't appear when talking to other in VoIP chats when playing online games.

Cool thought.

elvecinodeabajo··on Hack the Box – Pentesting Labs for Free
I must say it presents many scenarios that are easily found "into the wild". Google and Shodan finds tons of vulnerable machines that match some HTB scenarios.
elvecinodeabajo··on Hack the Box – Pentesting Labs for Free
True. The invite code is a first hacking test. There is this message in the web: "Feel free to hack your way in :)".

No invitation needed, it's just the first puzzle.

elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: Coping when your client is an asshole?
Usually assholes become lambs when there is a real violence threat. P.S.: My life is a mess, don't follow my advices.

elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
Circles exist in nature. You can deny it, but it isn't true.

Now go with your atomic imperfections and external influences and take a nap, because it must be exhausting to be so repellent.

elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
At atomic scale sometimes there are perfect cirlces. The argumentum a silentio fallacy is bidirectional in this case.
elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
They do. http://www.hemsleyandhemsley.com/assets/Screen-Shot-2014-04-...
elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
The pupil in the eye. The sun through the clouds. The craters after an impact. The waves when you drop a rock in water. The section of a bamboo stick... And it gets more evident when you go to microscopic world. Some eggs are perfect spheres, as small bubbles in water. I think circles are a real natural shape. Not an invention. Nature brings us all kind of shapes, some of them are discovered studying living creatures, like the scutoid.
elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
Water waves are perfect circles as waves move at same speed in every direction, so its points are always equidistant. Let a soap bubble settle in the table and take some measurements with a ruler. They are almost always perfect circles. You can deny they're circles, but you know it's not true.
elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
It's not a very heavy argument anyway. Circles are in swirls, tornadoes and even the Sun looks like a bright circle looking from the Earth. Water waves draw circles when you throw a rock in it. Circles are everywhere. Some people says "nature hates perfect shapes" but it's not true, nature creates perfect cubes in some minerals, some fish eggs are perfect spheres... And so on.
elvecinodeabajo··on Where is π today? The nature of the mathematical universe
π is not an invention, it's the relation between a circle's lenght and its radius. Not hard to understand.
elvecinodeabajo··on Show HN: Letter from You – Handwritten letter, mailed for you
You don't send handmade letters if you need to save time.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: What is your burnout story?
1- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". My working schedule left me without spare time. Nine or ten hours a day answering calls about tech support, 4 in the morning, 1 or 2 hours lunch break and another 4 hours in the afternoon. Weeks starting a Wed until the next week Fri. Rest Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue and another 10 days round again. After around 13 or 14 months this way I went postal at the office. I was already burnt.

2- I left the job at HellDesk (HelpDesk). That was the first and biggest step to recover myself. Talking to a doctor, family and friends about the situation. My doctor prescribed me antidepressants and anxiolytics. I took me a bit long, but I'm much better right now.

elvecinodeabajo··on Delta Chat
Delta Chat is just a CoI client, as CoI webpage says.

"Thanks to Delta Chat Core, as a client developer you do not even need to deal with IMAP directly." https://www.coi-dev.org/

elvecinodeabajo··on Delta Chat
LOL. My bad. Its Chat over IMAP.
elvecinodeabajo··on Upvote for HN Darkmode?
Brightness set to 1. Lights must be out while my wife sleeps. I'm not pro, I've a girlfriend.
elvecinodeabajo··on Upvote for HN Darkmode?
Bright white scratches my eyes while reading at night. A dark theme is greatly appreciated.
elvecinodeabajo··on Delta Chat
I don't think so. Delta Chat seems a system running 'Chat over ICMP', so CoI goes on protocol layer, while Delta Chat goes on application layer.
elvecinodeabajo··on France Enters the Matrix
Matrix is totally open sourced. Server side and the official client (Riot) can be deployed anywhere under your own control.

Also, deploying a bridge you can connect Matrix and IRC rooms, creating a hybrid channel mixing Matrix and IRC clients in the same room. It's pretty cool.

elvecinodeabajo··on Delta Chat
E2E encryption may make the messages unreadable out of the Delta client app. Specs here: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/blob/master/s...
elvecinodeabajo··on Delta Chat
As specs says it uses IMAP as Transport it's a CoI based messenger.

elvecinodeabajo··on COI – Chat Over IMAP
You're forgetting E2E encryption.
elvecinodeabajo··on COI – Chat Over IMAP
I really like the idea, but I prefer dedicated self-hosted services like Matrix. You can run a suspicious Matrix instance, but I think privacy falls away as you talk to any Gmail user via CoI.

"With XMPP and Matrix.org -based services you would still need to convince everyone to join your new network. Easy in theory, very complex in practice!"

I don't find that so problematic. People just needs to see a bit the inner workings to feel a bit comfortable and give it a chance.

elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: What are your favorite board games?
The Resistance is awesome, but it's too easy to go postal after some games with some people.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: How did you get rid of your allergies?
I take some Ebastine when an allergic strike hits (Pollen and dust). Tried other anitihistamines but ebastine doesn't make me drowzy.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: Do you do drugs while coding?
I smoke cannabis. But sometimes I get so high that finding a coding error may be frustrating and a long job.

I like cannabis and coding, but I feel I code faster and better (harder, stronger...) when I'm totally sober.

elvecinodeabajo··on Google reCaptacha 'impossible' to solve on Firefox, not so on Chrome
It happens so often to me that I'm not sure if I'm a human or a bot.
elvecinodeabajo··on Life in the Spanish city that banned cars
Here's a fact: Pontevedra and the area surrounding is famous in Spain for really rainy winters and springs. Pontevedra city is facing directly to the sea.
elvecinodeabajo··on Ask HN: Is a computer science degree worth it or should I learn on my own?
Well, this comments starts with "I feel happy..." Sorry.
