rorrr··on The PyCon Incident
Adria Richards is an evil cunt.

SendGrid is a shit company that I would never want to work for.

rorrr··on Diamonds Are Bullshit
Same with my wife. Told her about blood diamonds, and how the price is artificially inflated. She agreed. Still got the diamond ring.
rorrr··on Linode NextGen: The Hardware
DB in RAM still requires to write to disk, which is often the bottleneck, not the reads.
rorrr··on Linode NextGen: The Hardware
32GB of RAM is $220 on Newegg.
rorrr··on Chart.js - open source HTML5 charting library
Why would you call it a HTML5 library?

This is a canvas JS library.

rorrr··on Andrew 'Weev' Auernheimer Faces Jail

1) Set up a public server

2) Wait for google bot to show up

3) Press charges against google

4) Sue in civil court

5) Profit.

rorrr··on How I Met 75 Investors and Raised $650,000
A) What did you give up for $650K?

B) $650K seems such a low amount of money, it's barely enough to hire 2-3 senior level developers for a year, and rent an office space. I have no idea how you guys launch startups with such small amounts of money.

rorrr··on Show HN: Our local Pinboard startup project
Absolutely horrible design.
rorrr··on SimCity’s Sims Don’t Seem That Smart After All
No, it's not just him. Yoda conditions are hard to read, because they don't follow the natural language. You don't say "If 5 dollars is more than what I have...", instead you say "If I have less than 5 dollars ...".
rorrr··on Ask HN: How to deal with someone ripping off your design?
Why? They are stealing OP's copyrighted works and posting them on their website.
rorrr··on 75% of a human skull replaced with 3D-printed material
Fossils just got a lot more interesting.
rorrr··on Thai character ก็็็็็ (ก) gets rendered in a strange way
Chrome on Windows 7 here, renders most of them as boxes.
rorrr··on Bitcoin blockchain issue - Mt Gox Bitcoin deposits temporarily suspended
I don't understand why 0.7 gets the preference though, considering that it's the version with the DB bug in it.
rorrr··on The Fireplace Delusion
390 over three years.

Again, why are you only talking about children deaths, one group that's not even supposed to have access to guns? That's cherry picking.

rorrr··on The Fireplace Delusion
A lot more people die from gunshots than people drown, even if you count all drownings, not just pool-related (in the US, of course).

You cherry-picked one child-dangerous item in the house. Yay for "logic".

rorrr··on Chess CAPTCHA
You are not making any sense.
rorrr··on Chess CAPTCHA
So you are, literally, arguing for security by obscurity. "Oh, my captcha is unique, therefore nobody will bother".

There are easier to implement unique captchas, than chess.

rorrr··on WebGL Terrain Flyover Demo
I used to write Pascal a decade ago. Does it still have endless begin-end statements?
rorrr··on Here come the encryption apps
> I don't understand how Matthew can write a comparative review of encrypted chat clients and include one for which he has no technical information, not even a binary

Well that's the point. If there's no source, don't trust that crypto app.

rorrr··on Facebook's New Feed
I was talking about the feed, not the closeup gallery view.
rorrr··on Nanoparticles loaded with bee venom kill HIV
There are tons of things that would kill HIV - strong acid, fire, lasers, but it doesn't mean it's good for the rest of the body.
rorrr··on Show HN: the remote-only job board called HireThere (a weekend project)
Either. They can be roughly converted between eachother.
rorrr··on Facebook's New Feed
That's just the browser zoom. It doesn't increase the quality of the photos.
rorrr··on Facebook's New Feed
I just tried it. Mouse wheel just scrolls the page up and down.
rorrr··on Facebook's New Feed
This is ridiculous. Currently FB limits your feed photos to 400px (horizontal and vertical).

It looks like they are increasing it to 550px.

This, literally, makes no sense. Current monitors can easily support 1000px horizontal, and, as a photographer, I wouldn't consider that quality.

Both FB and G+ suck as photo galleries. I want to see large beautiful photos, not 550px thumbnails.

rorrr··on Show HN: the remote-only job board called HireThere (a weekend project)
Please please please add an optional field for salary (hourly or yearly), and let me filter by jobs that specify salaries. Emailing dozens of jobs just to find out they pay $15/hr is a huge waste of time.
rorrr··on Show HN: 6 months ago I quit my job to pursue indie dev. Here is our first game
It took you 6 months to develop it?
rorrr··on Canon develops 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor for video capture
Why don't you post a D4 video at ISO 204,800, so we can all laugh at it.
rorrr··on How an 83-year-old inventor beat the high cost of 3D printing
ABS pellets are $1000-2000 per ton ($0.45 - $0.91 per lb).

I'm surprised nobody is selling cheap spools in the $5/lb range.

EDIT:

Acutally, they do.
