fcanela··on Ask HN: A friend has brain cancer: any bio hacks that worked?
I have a relative with glioblastoma who could see his granddaughter born if he extends his life a while. Thanks a lot for sharing!
fcanela··on Sub.Rehab – See where Reddit communities have relocated
I was planning to implement the same thing. Happy to see there is a way to quickly check where to go instead of Reddit or when a community is private.
fcanela··on SimulaVR FPGA Image Processing Pipeline
For those interested in this, I recommend also checking Immersed VR. It's not standalone (you still need a PC somewhere) but it works great. I can not wait until we have devices with better optics!
fcanela··on The “Build Your Own Redis” Book Is Completed
$83/mo or around $994 annually is crazy way too much for me. I hope them the best because I love that kind of content and want it to be more popular, but I will wait until a better priced option comes.
fcanela··on Meta Quest Pro
I'm a user of Immersed (an VR for productivity app) and I use to code frequently.

I wanted QPro to be a success. I expected at least a reasonable bump in resolution. What was released is just disappointing and I can not justify paying that price point. I would go for Pico4 before of QPro.

fcanela··on Ireland joins OECD International Tax agreement
Why shouldn't people or companies be able to move where they can grow, prosper or have rules according to their values or projects? Curiously, when we talk about taxes the focus is often in the country that is harboring people instead the one that made itself unattractive.
fcanela··on Ireland joins OECD International Tax agreement
Than can be done with less taxes than the average europeans one. It is also debatable which of the estates attributed roles can't be done better by private companies.
fcanela··on Ireland joins OECD International Tax agreement
I am really surprised by the HN community. I wasn't expecting people to downvote an user who politely expressed his point of view just because theirs is the opposite.
fcanela··on Ireland joins OECD International Tax agreement
Cyprus is part of the EU and have the same law system (they were a British colony)
fcanela··on Neovim Plugin: Telescope [video]
Congrats. It is a curious plugin. I am not sure if I want to substitute my fzf one, but I found the video interesting. Also, loved a few things about your setup. Do you have a open neovim configuration?
fcanela··on How to Run a Live Coding Stream on Twitch Using OBS
I would love to know how to do it with Linux/Ubuntu. I tried with OBS and always run into a bunch of issues when trying to create something beyond a basic scene.
fcanela··on Old CSS, New CSS
Before switching to Firefox, I previously used Internet Explorer, which had no tabs support. In an era of frequent pop-ups, your desktop ended being a mess.

It was annoying, but that is what I was used to. Then Firefox came and allowed to have all your browsing in the same window, without polluting the taskbar.

In my case, I clearly remember that tabs were the reason to switch into Firefox.

fcanela··on Ask HN: What worries you when selecting a remote worker?
Thanks for your answer, byoung2. I have been working remotely a similar number of years so I hope I can sort that filter.

Thanks too for the tip as I have not considered it. I did not know about gotomeeting. I am going to install and test after I click the reply button.

I share the "being a remote-first company" screener too and I expect to dodge that "bullet" :). I have the concept of what kind of company I want to join very clear... what really worries me is passing their filters. I have no problem with the initial screening in my country... but this is the first time that I face global competition!

fcanela··on Ask HN: What worries you when selecting a remote worker?
Thanks, cimmanom, this list is definitely helpful. I noticed that you mentioned communication twice! I will work harder on improving my communication skills meanwhile.
fcanela··on Would you pay to be able to build your own trading bot (automated system)?
I would pay for the learning process. The price would depend on topic depths. If you share the lessons titles I would have no problem in giving numbers.
fcanela··on Show HN: Learn how to work remotely from people doing it every day
It seems like the cache link I previously pasted does not allow to click on deeper links on the site. Sorry. At least it helps to have a quick view to the content.
fcanela··on Show HN: Learn how to work remotely from people doing it every day
I am getting a 509 Bandwith Exceeded error. The sites is still accesible via http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jNN8m0q...
fcanela··on Enter the Matrix – A technical overview and guide to all things Matrix
It is nice to see Matrix in HN: this project needs more visibility.

In a world dominated by Slack, which removes privacy/history control from users and place walls, Matrix is the promise to have a better open scenario than IRC was.

I am crossing my fingers. I hope with all my heart to this technology to flourish.

fcanela··on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver Released
Release note is not yet ready but they are announcing it in the website: https://www.ubuntu.com/.

This release got a little bit delayed because of an unexpected bug that have been solved and tested in the same day.

Good job and congratulations to Canonical and associated devs!

fcanela··on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) Released
There have not been a release announce yet, but they are updating docs.

Please, consider help seeding the torrents.

fcanela··on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Its a good opportunity to seed the torrents. I am already on it.
fcanela··on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
This are the download images but the official announcement have not yet occured
fcanela··on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
Currently this is currently pointing to the beta 2, not the LTS.
fcanela··on Catalan referendum: 'Hundreds injured' in Catalan clashes
The number of injured have been reported by the Catalan officials, which benefits from enlarge the amount. Maybe the number is true. I will remain skeptic until information from several sources is provided.
fcanela··on Catalan referendum: 'Hundreds injured' in Catalan clashes
I am not excusing neither of the behaviors: both violents and not professional policemen are doing wrong. All your text is based not in what I said, but in yours interpretations of my words

I am adding references for the women issue too.

fcanela··on Catalan referendum: 'Hundreds injured' in Catalan clashes
I am uploading it so you can see it. (Nice downvote before letting me prove my words :) )
fcanela··on Catalan referendum: 'Hundreds injured' in Catalan clashes
The woman was not injured by police: she had an accident with the stairs going to vote.

There are videos with the attack to the police. At the end, there are violent people with the pacifist voters and not professional policemen too.

EDIT: Evidence asked, here it is https://youtu.be/wmLTRluQm94

EDIT 2: I was asked for source about the women and people manipulating pictures. Two sources here: https://twitter.com/arb149/status/914401352230621184/video/1 http://www.larazon.es/espana/difunden-en-twitter-imagenes-fa...

fcanela··on NeoVim 0.2.0 released
Major version can make someone think nvim is still unstable. My experience is the opposite.

I have being using it for 2-4 years (can't remember exactly) and got the same 0 problems I run into Vim. Earlier versions required you to recompile NeoVim to enable new features for plugins.

Yesterday I installed NeoVim in my new laptop and it was a smooth experience: Installed it using Ubuntu package manager, installed Vim-Plug for managing plugins, copied my old init.vim (or .vimrc), run vim and everything in order.

I am really happy with NeoVim. I faced no problem with it that Vim could not resolve but I know the insides being a better ecosystem for core and plugins developers, so I will stick with it.

fcanela··on A Visual Guide to What's New in Swagger 3.0
And it is. If you perform some API Governance in your company, odds are that they are performed with Swagger. RAML and Blueprint are losing adoption.
fcanela··on A Visual Guide to What's New in Swagger 3.0
Thanks for the article, I loved how they solved the "how do we propertly documment hypermedia APIs" question that I get asked in each Meetup.

I think there is a little error in the article. In the "Request Format" example the request method should be PUT.
