sikhnerd··on "Trading Places" Movie: Trading Scene Explained
Great timing on this as I just had to explain this to my wife last week, will link her to this for a slightly more cogent explanation then I was able to give during the movie.
sikhnerd··on 300 million users strong, Opera moves to WebKit
More good discussion at this submission: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5211953
sikhnerd··on How the Heck Do I Use GitHub?
Back when I first started using git, I found Github's own getting started bootcamp pages to be a good starting point. https://help.github.com/categories/54/articles
sikhnerd··on 48th Mersenne prime found
GIMPS "why" page is an interesting read as well: http://primes.utm.edu/notes/faq/why.html
sikhnerd··on Upverter Launches Teams Collaboration, Free for Open Source
That was it exactly, sorry I didn't have time to draw the proper conclusion myself. Glad tcwc figured it out quickly though.
sikhnerd··on Upverter Launches Teams Collaboration, Free for Open Source
FYI, the upverter homepage looks like this to me http://i.imgur.com/SFD01HX.png on os x using chrome Version 24.0.1312.52, firefox/safari work fine. Clicking any of the Simulate|PLM|Manufacture buttons does nothing.
sikhnerd··on Comparing Heat Shields: Mars Science Lab vs. SpaceX Dragon
I can't be the only one who continues to be impressed by SpaceX' consistent engineering and business prowess being displayed in these types of articles.

sikhnerd··on Why to auto-answer video calls
Thought the concept to be interesting. Installed the mac version, as did my fiance. Signed up, launched (fiance remarked that it's ugly, including the installer - doesn't bother me), added each other.

Called and got massive non-stop feedback. It's unfortunate that the complete lack of echo cancellation (skype, gtalk, etc work great for us using identical setup) makes this dead on arrival.

Looks like they took the page down

sikhnerd··on Welcome To Life
It's tough not to immediately draw the many parallels to what we see happening in society right now and the scary part is that this is so easily conceivable as a realistic future. Well done!
sikhnerd··on Build an IDE with tmux and vim
I have been using tmux + vim as my primary mode of work for quite some time now, and as time has gone on my productivity has markedly increased as a result. I don't think I could ever go back to a workflow that required me to use a mouse or be away from all of the standard linux utilities and pipes.
sikhnerd··on Show HN: Flutter - Control Spotify or iTunes Using Gestures thru Webcam
Would be nice if we could get this to work with other media players by emulating the media keys (really want to use this with vlc on my macbook)

sikhnerd··on How to define custom, colored labels (like TODO) in VIM
The true extensibility of vim never ceases to amaze me.
sikhnerd··on ASk HN: quickest way to get involved in Open Source?
1. Identify something in your life that bothers you

2. Find an OS project working to address that, or an OS project which you can use to address that

3. Scratch your itch!

sikhnerd··on Irc in bash
Irssi running 24/7 inside a tmux session on a server.

I'm a heavy IRC user and it's use is on par or above any other communications system in my life.
