skamoenon Show HN: API Bootstrap – A better way to build your API

I'm not sure what it is you're actually selling. More documentation or practical examples would be great. I'm not willing to create an account / sign in to find out stuff like that.

skamoenon Sublime Text 3 Build 3132 released

Latex Workshop for vscode [1] is catching up fast. It doesn't have Mendeley api support yet, but if you use the desktop client for syncing, it works perfectly and is under very active development.

To be more specific, all samples without killswitch were samples of just the ransomware, not the worm spreading it.

skamoenon The way people tilt their smartphone 'can give away passwords and pins'

As a university project, I did something very similar, only using a malicious app. The app would monitor the device state, and record gyro data as soon as the screen was on, but the device was locked. We didn't have the time to properly implement a decent classifier, but the data collection was surprisingly effective.

skamoenon Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop:

1. HEADLINE: A way to have different scaling for external monitors hooked up to my HiDPI laptop.

Currently I need can only set a single scaling factor, so I need to ajust my laptop screen resolution to match scaling of the external monitor. If that's not possible, a way to automatically set resolution and scale for both screens once you hook one up would already save me a lot of manual switching and restarting lightDM!

2. HEADLINE: "Native" multitouch gestures like 3-finger swipe to change workspace.

There are some programs that can do this already like xSwipe and Fusuma, but I expect this integrated with a nice and easy menu.

3. HEADLINE: Better battery management.

Battery performance under Ubuntu is often much worse in Ubuntu than Windows. TLP helps, but it's not enough.

skamoenon Show HN: Dude, I Got It! – Anonymously share ideas and profit

I think your site needs a lot more explanation of what it actually is you're doing. I read the "How this works", but that's not written for someone completely out of the loop.

skamoenon Amazon just told me to log into someone else's account – and delete it

This guy doesn't seem to be willing to actually help you. I'd consider trying a new chat session with, hopefully, a new guy who's capable of doing his job.
