koyao··on The Floppotron 3.0
But why?
koyao··on YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA
Where can I clone the youtube-dl repo, err.. for educational purposes?
koyao··on FWD:Everyone
So basically have Twitter expand its character limit and ask everyone to replace their emails with Twitter? How cool is that? :)
koyao··on SMS over IRC
I'd replace the whole thing with Slack :)
koyao··on Introducing .app, a more secure home for apps on the web
Why does "his.app" cost $499.99 for pre-registration, but "her.app" only costs $249.99? :)

Is this some built-in gender bias?

koyao··on Xeon – Node.js tool for creating modular, reusable shell scripts
The nice thing about shell scripts is that it's ubiquitous and have very little external dependency. Having a shell script depend on node.js seems a bit counter-intuitive?
koyao··on LinkedIn password leak
And LinkedIn is now asking me to enter my phone number:

"Add an extra layer of security to your account. Add your phone number."

Leaking my email / password is bad enough; I'm not going to give them my phone number for more damages!

koyao··on Show HN: Twitch Installs Arch Linux – A cooperative text-based horror game
But ... Why? What's the point?
koyao··on Steam hit by major security breach
Did Steam just go down? Maybe from the load that Hacker News is generating?

https://isitup.org/store.steampowered.com

store.steampowered.com seems to be down!

koyao··on TCP and the Lower Bound of Web Performance [video]
Very impressive how John Rauser tied all the relevant RFCs together to make his point on why to increase the initial congestion window. I specially liked his appeal to humility towards the end of the talk.

Works for me...

koyao··on The Umano team has joined Dropbox
Bummer that they'll be shutting down a pretty useful service...
