gelatocar··on Ask HN: How does a 1990s web developer get back on track?
Staying out of silos and rabbit holes would probably mean avoiding bootstrap, github and the like. Totally agree on building clean, responsive sites though.
gelatocar··on Angular 2 Beta released
You don't have to use JSX.
gelatocar··on Atlassian's success reminds what a crappy place Australia is for tech business
> When you're a programmer, what is the difference to your work between 10 and 100mbps, really?

There's a pretty long list actually. If you've got 10 people in a office sharing a 10mbit pipe then the internet is straight up prohibitively slow. On top of that, if your users are on slow internet then they are less likely to interact with whatever you are building, especially if it involves rich media interaction like uploading photos/videos (and upload speeds are even slower here). Then there are workflow collaboration tools like teleconferencing, dispatching of large files over networks that can take hours. It makes it harder to work remotely and adds a fairly large extra cost for small tech businesses to absorb in getting decent internet set up. And this is all going to get worse as the rest of the world speeds past us and starts creating content for gigabit internet while we are sitting here trying to get by on our promised 25megabits.

You can also bypass the paywall by clicking the 'web' link under the post title on HN.
gelatocar··on Facebook iOS App Scrapes Your Clipboard?
That is kinda worrying, though I don't use that functionality myself. Is there another way that passwords could be passed between apps without using the clipboard?
gelatocar··on Creating Cel Animations with SVG
It is nitpicking but this is an incorrect use of the term "cel". A cel is a transparent sheet that is used in layers to make up a frame. The article talks about cels as if they are frames. Cels are useful because it allows picture elements like backgrounds to remain unchanged frame to frame.

edit: nm, looks like they address this later on in the article.

gelatocar··on Hands-on with the tvOS SDK
Does having this in iOS9 mean that in the near future it will not be possible to use apps offline?
gelatocar··on Build Your Own Git UI for Mac with GitUpKit
That's from the git repo https://github.com/git/git
gelatocar··on GitHub Raises $250M at $2B Valuation
My agency is considering switching to bitbucket from github because bitbucket's pricing per team member would cost us 10 times less than github's pricing per repository.
gelatocar··on GitUp makes Git painless
OSX has had the ability to navigate menus with the keyboard for more than 10 years - Ctrl + F2
gelatocar··on Show HN: Twenty
I'd love to try this with the ability to 'throw' tiles around, so they maintain some velocity after letting go of them. Obviously they'd still have to snap to the grid but it would be cool to be able to chuck a tile from one side of the screen to the other.
gelatocar··on Grasswire
Fair enough, best of luck getting it all sorted.
gelatocar··on Grasswire
Sorry to hear that people have been trying to mess with your site, but why do you require an account just to view the page?
gelatocar··on Highlight.js – Syntax highlighting for the Web
Genuine question, why?
gelatocar··on Io.js 1.0.0
It's basically a fork of nodejs
gelatocar··on PresidentObama on GitHub
I think Open-source governance is pretty relevant here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_governance
gelatocar··on Police Can Seize and Sell Assets Even When the Owner Broke No Law
There was also a good bit on last week tonight about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks
gelatocar··on Creating 3D worlds with HTML and CSS
That is completely different and pretty much entirely unrelated.
gelatocar··on Microsoft Band
Do you wear it on the inside of your wrist? Otherwise wouldn't the display be sideways?
gelatocar··on Show HN: Codeanywhere
Not sure if I am missing something but this works in Chrome, which works on windows...

edit: Sorry, the word "phone" was a widow and I missed it.

Is anyone else seeing duplicated and mirrored labels in the demo? http://i.imgur.com/998pDUR.png
gelatocar··on Why Murdoch's media is gunning for your NBN (2013)
Not even purely fiber to the node any more, they are going with a "multi-technology mix"[1]

So by the end of 2020, 98% to 100% of the population would have at least 25Mbps[2]. Which is maybe twice as fast as what we have now on average (as a guess).

It is also way behind schedule and over budget[3], when being quicker and cheaper were its main selling points against the FTTP solution proposed by the Labor government.

gelatocar··on Mint won't give a clear answer about Heartbleed
Except in this case, seeing as it seems that Mint hasn't got new ssl certs or private keys, the only way to 'act accordingly' is to never use the service again.

It isn't a gif, he's got a bunch of images at 15 minute intervals.

The server just loads the right one for the given time.

gelatocar··on Exposed Adobe Login Search
So if it says "No password hint found. No password hash found." is that because you've removed the hashes and the hints? Or did you store the information as to whether they existed before removing them?
gelatocar··on FastMail’s servers are in the US – what this means for you
They do in fact mention that in the article:

> There are of course other avenues available to obtain your data. Our colocation providers could be compelled to give physical access to our servers. Network capturing devices could be installed. And in the worst case an attacker could simply force their way into the datacentre and physically remove our servers.
