inteleng··on Mylo: A leather-like material made from mycelium
What?
inteleng··on Design and Implementation of a 256-Core BrainFuck Computer [pdf]
Can't believe they misspelled Virtex.
inteleng··on Carl Kasell Has Died
I would ask dang. It seems somewhat like the style here is now to title the post "Firstname Lastname Has Died" to be as neutral as possible, but I could be wrong.
inteleng··on Another Reason to Learn Morse Code: Kidnapping
Nobody asked for that opinion here, and it's not relevant to the conversation.
inteleng··on In boys: the lower the digit ratio, the more robust the face
This is yet another irrelevant phrenology paper relying on probable p-hacking to validate an obvious, useless hypothesis. What compels HN users to post this dross?
inteleng··on In the 1950s, a California teacher's annual mortgage payments were 14% of salary
>HN is weird about this.

Can you show me people who don't think this way?

inteleng··on iOS 11.3 update breaks iPhone 8 devices with third party-repaired screens
This is the point I'd have made if I had more patience. It is simply ridiculous to claim that galvanic corrosion and/or electromigration is likely to be a problem on a square millimeter gold contact with a few microns of metal that passes at most 15W continuously for a few years before being discarded.
inteleng··on iOS 11.3 update breaks iPhone 8 devices with third party-repaired screens
I play one on TV.
inteleng··on Productivity
Okay.
inteleng··on Productivity
>The most impressive people I know have strong beliefs about the world, which is rare in the general population.

I guess this speaks to how little Sam interacts with the general public. The vast majority of people I know outside of tech have very strong (and varied) opinions on the world.

inteleng··on iOS 11.3 update breaks iPhone 8 devices with third party-repaired screens
It's bullshit because it isn't a real issue. Apple is just acting as a patent troll, inventing fake problems for the sake of filing patents.
inteleng··on Productivity
Great: productivity advice from a failed entrepreneur (and stoner) who slimed his way to the top ranks of YC.

Edit: keep downvoting. Let the hate flow through you.

inteleng··on iOS 11.3 update breaks iPhone 8 devices with third party-repaired screens
> very specific charging protocol designed to prevent metal migration between the pins and the pads on the connector

This is 100% bullshit.

inteleng··on The Subway Is So Late, It’s Making New Yorkers Early
Is this useful?
inteleng··on Why is everyone so busy? (2014)
If you hit the "web" button, you can usually bypass the wall. I was able to read the article just fine, even though I don't have a subscription.

"Simultaneous consumption" is one of my new favourite phrases, actually.

inteleng··on Want to Be Happy? Think Like an Old Person (2017)
The linked story is quite heartwarming. I don't know how you could make a comment like this having read it.
inteleng··on Ask HN: Where are you?
San Francisco. What, were you hoping for an interesting answer?
inteleng··on Nuclear fusion on brink of being realised, say MIT scientists
>semiconductor

Is there a reason everyone in this thread is saying "semiconductor" instead of 'superconductor'?

inteleng··on Show HN: Tech Companies That Won't Delete Your Information
Why isn't HN/YC on this list?
inteleng··on No CEO should earn 1,000 times more than a regular employee
Oh stop it, you. Don't let this vague emotional argument turn into something supported by facts!

inteleng··on US utilities have finally realized electric cars may save them
Thanks for telling us.
inteleng··on RIP Google, a ‘Search Engine’ from 1998-2018
It makes sense that a guy whose job it is to make things appear on search results would be angry at a search engine bypassing the sites of people like him.
inteleng··on Brainless Embryos Suggest Bioelectricity Guides Growth
ASICBOOST?
inteleng··on Operating Broadcom Wi-Fi Chips as Arbitrary Signal Transmitters, Like SDRs
Is this sarcasm?
inteleng··on The Case for Writing Papers in Economics Using FaKe LaTeX [pdf]
The OP is definitely serious. Some people just cannot stand TeX.
inteleng··on Slack's bait and switch
You must be grandfathered in. Teams that I've been part of see their history actually cut off at the 10k mark.
inteleng··on $560M Powerball Winner Can Keep Her Name Private, Judge Rules
What if the woman is actually an employee of MUSL and faked a ticket, though? Would any of the public be able to find out?
inteleng··on Making $60k a month from a podcast on software engineering
Should be titled "Wasting >>$60,000/mo of people's time, but getting paid $60,000/mo for it".
inteleng··on Slack's bait and switch
> Slack still provide full history export for free

Wrong. If you want to export messages earlier than the last 10k, Slack will extort you to the tune of $10 per user (even if they aren't active). And that's per fucking month. Does your startup/club/laboratory of 29 people have $290/mo of income to incinerate, when you could just host an AWS IRC server for 1% of that?

inteleng··on Fountain pen inks: the good, the bad, and the ugly (2011)
That page is completely unreadable to me.
