maguirre··on Y U NO commit??
Automated backups are useful. However how often can you backup? If you are hacking/experimenting backing up after every change seems too resource intensive
maguirre··on Netflix Stock Price Crashes in After-Hours Trading
I think there is plenty of growth opportunity for Netflix 1- After hours trading is notorious for volatility 2- HBO announcement today 3- Subscriber growth did not meet expectations

Are all likely affecting the stock. However when it's all said in done who else is competing with against netflix?

maguirre··on The Etherkiller (2002)
I was thinking maybe it's the fact that I didn't get enough sleep last night but I didn't find this amusing at all
maguirre··on CLion – Brand New IDE for C and C++ Developers
Not yet. It appears that new features will be added according to their popularity[1].

maguirre··on The Internet’s DIY brain hackers
People at radiolab tried this out. I am skeptical about it but there seem to be some empirical evidence to support it?

maguirre··on Dyson 360 Eye
For the web inclined guys here. What techniques are used to show motion/animation? looks quite smooth/impressive
maguirre··on Show HN: HTML5 guitar lessons with pitch detection
Ha, time to dust up my guitar. I've always wanted to learn but know nothing of musical notation. This should give me another excuse get back to learning
maguirre··on iOS 8 randomises the MAC address while scanning for WiFi networks
excuse my ignorance but does that mean if one is to use a locally administered address a device is free to take whatever they please? What would be advantage of paying to the IEEE for a universally administered block?
maguirre··on Contiki: The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
I am in the US, get in touch with, We could collaborate maguirre at automatid com
maguirre··on Contiki: The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
Atmel AVR micros for the nodes and an ARM SBC to run Linux on as the border router for the controllers As far as the peripherals are concerned temp sensors/light sensor/humidity sensor for monitoring. For control mostly our own hardware Relay or PWM output to control/dim ballasts or LED fixtures etc
maguirre··on Contiki: The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
if you want to be able to get your data out into the web then the answer is: yes
maguirre··on Contiki: The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
I am currently working with a startup company developing controls for solar water heating system, commercial lighting/climate control/monitoring and finally monitoring for large conventional water heaters - exciting i know ;) -.
maguirre··on Contiki: The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
If you are in the US, I'd say that's one of the best bets. Although it's a little expensive I think it's one of the best supported platforms.
maguirre··on The Little-Known Open Source OS That Rules the Internet of Things
I am glad to see Contiki getting some "air time" I have been working with this for the past year and I think it has great potential. One of the great things that Contiki has going for itself is the community. It's very active and growing quite rapidly and it's very welcoming to newcomers.
maguirre··on Radxa: $100 Quad-Core ARM Raspberry Pi Alternative
I was excited about the BBB specially because of the NAND Flash availability. In similar fashion as the RPi back in the day lead time is (as far as I can tell) in months
maguirre··on Microsoft announces the Surface Pro 3
I wanted to buy a Surface Pro 2 but the model I wanted has been out of stock at the Microsoft Store for a few weeks now.
maguirre··on Wireless Battle of the Mesh
That's a shame, I wish I had known about this before I might have been able to put something together and present. The start-up I work with is heavily invested in developing mesh networking devices.
maguirre··on Wireless Battle of the Mesh
I am confused if this is a battle of mesh and routing protocol why is 802.15.4 with rpl left out
maguirre··on Ask HN: Best current Linux-compatible laptop?
I am on a W520 and things worked fairly well until I decided to connect an external monitor. Has this problem gotten anywhere in the past year or so?
maguirre··on Replacing the PC
Personally I still haven't found a tablet that fulfill my needs to "create". Tablets are good (maybe even great) as consumption devices. However I have found that the closer a table gets to a laptop (add keyboard and bigger display) the easier it is for me to create content
maguirre··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
I love this idea and I'd be interested in backing something like this. However I do worry about the liability of something that is constantly in flux like the US tax code
maguirre··on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
Correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that you can still have read problems on an RO SD card. In fact I was recently reading a Micron Application note that explained that the mere act of reading it could cause bit-flips.
maguirre··on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
You are correct. I jumped the gun. This in fact will probably be worse that having a removable SD card.
maguirre··on Raspberry Pi Compute Module
It's about time they put some FLASH on-board. SD card has proven time and time again an unreliable medium. You never know if the device would boot up after a "dirty shutdown"
maguirre··on Google propels Linux to the top
I hope you are right. There are two reasons I still interact with windows: 1- Work 2- Games
maguirre··on Engineer's Guide to US Visas
Don't try to file w/o a lawyer, you will come to regret it. It might be cheaper to do so ($$ wise) but in the end you will be treated with more respect if you have legal representation standing behind you.

source (anecdotal): I went through the process of obtaining visa(s) with and without legal representation

maguirre··on Julia, the One Programming Language to Rule Them All
What about code generation tools that matlab has been providing for the past few years? When I left the automotive industry the adoption of these tools seemed like a sure thing
maguirre··on Mint now lets users keep track of their Bitcoins
Along the same line of thought. How about a cash flow forecast?
maguirre··on Become an exceptional programmer by learning to ship
I don't know what I am missing here but after reading the article I came out with the following: "If you want to be a good programmer you should do a job well done"
maguirre··on Bro pages: like man pages, but with examples only
In the silly discussion, I do have a couple questions. Can this be used in a machine that's not always connected to the internet? Considering the ranking method is decided via votes, won't (theoretically) results change from one day to the other?
