Simulators seem to be in the Oculus' wheel house at the moment. It's a coveted item in the iRacing community and I would imagine flight sims are the same.

If you're paranoid about password security why are you storing them on a server you don't own?

You can try KeyPass (http://keepass.info/), but if you're upset with the usability of LastPass you probably won't like KeyPass.

With training and G suits 8G can be sustained. I believe 9G is the limit with this equipment.

I've made a spotify playlist that tries to mirror it. It's not as good as the real thing but it's a start:

All grain isn't that much more expensive. All you need to step up to a full all grain setup is an igloo cooler and a false bottom - ~$100 USD worth of gear.

If you're batch sparging you can use your boil kettle to heat strike, then sparge water. You just need an extra vessel for the first runnings.

The UI for updating a project is a bit off. I think a 'My Projects' type link where I could see and edit would work a bit better.

Hiya HN,

I spent a few hours tonight to make a SUPER simple static site generator.

It basically concatenates a header, your body, and a footer. After the compilation there's a hook to execute a post hook.

This post hook gets passed the name of the file, which allows you to take actions on a per page basis.

This allows you to change things like nav classes to active etc.

Hey there! Why don't you (or anyone else reading this) shoot me an e-mail. Rick@rudelinux.org.

If you've got a big box store around check out the lenovo yoga 2. Hidpi screen, ok keyboard, good battery and relativity cheap. The convertible screen comes in handy as well. I thought it would be a gimmick but I ended up using it pretty often.

Yet another Digital Ocean customer. I've got nothing but good things to say about them. I also have a box on linode which have been excellent as well.

Digital Ocean does bill per hour which is a nice plus if you want to test things on different OSes for a short time.

I would think it's mostly timing.

It would be interesting to see success rates of different categories of links based on time submitted.

This is interesting and a lot simpler than I was expecting.

What's the feasibility of hooking into a webcam and using that as a metric for determining 'slouch'?

I'm curious to hear more about the 'reality distortion field'. You say 60-80% of people failed to use the tool - what was the basis for continuing on? Did you have a plan to mitigate the visits to other sites? When was the next time you tested and what were the results?

In case you missed it there was an article here yesterday describing their approach to simplicity through design:

There's additional discussion here:

I believe you mean ~/.ssh/authorized_keys?

For anyone interested here's an SO question with an example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402615/how-to-restrict-ss...

I thought I had read an article about facebook switching to perforce due to their really large git repo. Were they at least thinking about it?

A quick google comes up with nothing but I could have SWORN I read that.

I partially agree, but if you're going to be hosting your own server you should be considering the front end features, as well as making sure whoever is going to be maintaining the server it lives on won't want to pull their hair out.

I recently toyed around with InfluxDB which is a similar thing (written in go, no external dependencies) and it was pretty novel to have a 'self contained' binary like that.

I suspect it's especially helpful when dealing with docker images as well.

Is there a template or example post for the first item?

I've thought about doing this in the past but I didn't want to seem too elitist.

If you end up going shoot me an email. It's in my profile.

Hello All - Northern VA resident here and I've been trying to get a bit more 'out there'. If we've got a bunch of people out in northern VA interested in meeting up on April 30th there is a launch party for a new coworking space in Reston:

Is anyone else interested in going?

Also, it's a little more formal but there is a startup weekend in DC:

Remember - Rails is a framework for webapps. Haskell is a language. You should be comparing ruby to haskell.

While certainly not a startup I manage an altcoin pool and DDOS seems to be a big deal in this space. In fact my pool (http://awesomehash.com) just got his this morning.

It's a really bad feeling. Our miners really have no reason to stay with us. For a majority of them, as long as the servers are up there's no difference between pools. If our servers go down, even through no fault of our own we stand to lose a bunch of our members, and who knows if they'll come back.

As for solutions, we implemented a few new iptables rules, and we ended moving from DO to another VPS provider who has DDOS mitigation. There really isn't much you can do.

> Others rifled off that they thought 2048 was a better game than Threes. That all stung pretty bad. We know Threes is a better game, we spent over a year on it. And obviously, Threes is the reason 2048 exists.”

Isn't this a bad road to travel down? People are saying 2048 is better, but the authors are rejecting them only because they spent a year and a half on the project?

Maybe that's an indicator why 2048 was more popular.

I was under the impression that github is popular due to it's offerings outside of DVCS (bug tracker, discussions, documentation etc).

To me that makes it seem even more so like keybase. The core of the product is there but it's environment it was makes it special.

I had this problem when I started looking for jobs. For things like 'senior' and 'skilled' your best bet is to ignore those, just apply away. If you're resume is interesting you'll get a call. As long as you don't outright lie in the resume you shouldn't be embarrassed.

One thing that I learned later on in life was to not treat interviews as a one sided process. I'm there to make sure the company isn't awful, as much as you're there to make sure I'm not awful. If you go in with a mindset of evaluating the company to see if it's a fit with you I'm sure your fear of getting laughed out of the room will go away. Would you want to work with people like that anyway?

Of course this only applies to people who don't NEED a job.

That was my first thought. I'm also kind of confused at who this is for...the author is a designer and assumes a firm knowledge of HTML/CSS.

How do you obtain that knowledge without doing anything outside of a CMS?

When I played Eve I never really felt the need to 'level up'. The learning curve was big enough that just farming money, and running an interceptor was fun enough for me - even after I had bigger ships.

The game really is a sandbox.

Under settings there is an option for you to import your android dictionary, as well as import contacts. I like that they it's opt in, and going by your comment it seems like they're being honest.
