warcode··on Why Don't Americans Understand How Poor Their Lives Are?
From what I have learned it is the money you don't hear about that matters the most.
warcode··on The Management Fix That Made Firefox Faster
Speed is the feature that makes me go back to chrome every single time I give Firefox another chance.

I hope they one day fix the issues with performance degradation related to profiles. I should not have to reset everything twice a month to keep the same responsiveness.

warcode··on Learn Regex the Easy Way
I'll add https://regex101.com as an alternative.
warcode··on To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software
Until you want to scale due to using rapid direct democracy. Paper ballots will still WORK perfectly, but the workload will be massive.
warcode··on A Year After ‘Pokémon Go,’ Where Are the Augmented-Reality Hits?
I already carry around my processing unit and battery all the time: my phone. Glasses only need to do the display.
warcode··on Dat Desktop, a peer to peer data sharing app
If this lets me download specific files inside a shared folder instead of syncing the entire thing it would probably be the best sharing tool so far.
warcode··on Post-Olympic Abandonment
There really should be a rule that you have to maintain and operate the olympic venues as a public serivce for at least 4 years after their completion if you want to host.
warcode··on Ask HN: I’ve been applying to a million jobs
Your page breaks/is not responsive for widths greater than 1920. I'd probably still hire you, but might be a good year to fix that.
warcode··on Introducing Keybase Chat
I tried to set the proxy setting but it still does not work?
warcode··on Announcing GVFS: Git Virtual File System
Team Foundation Server supports both git and TFSVC.
warcode··on My Farewell to Twitter
Why not just create a completely new account with no ties to who you actually are, follow the cat picture accounts, Neil deGrasse Tyson and whatever else you are interested in?

Trying to get more followers seems to be the bad thing.

warcode··on Let's stop bashing C#
C# with the available libraries through the nuget package manager has been the best experience I have had in my career.
warcode··on Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software
Haven't had any issues with ESET NOD32 in the last 10 years.

I've turned off the MITM on https though.

warcode··on Iridium Browser – A Chromium-based browser focused on privacy
Attempting to load https://www.twitch.tv/ results in ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED.

Doesn't seem usable.

warcode··on The Impacts of Video Games on Cognition (2015) [pdf]
I agree. If I no longer had any enjoyment or feeling of improvement in gaming I'd probably find something else too.
warcode··on The Impacts of Video Games on Cognition (2015) [pdf]
Competitive video games also make me better at rapid decision making under pressure, prediction, (clear) communication and teamwork.

In the same way I could say that drawing and painting only makes you better at drawing and painting.

warcode··on Vivaldi – A Browser for Our Friends
Been using Vivaldi for probably a year, but I am now looking for a new browser. Too many media/crash issues have started popping up with running the browser without hardware acceleration enabled. And the options that let me disable it in the first place have been removed.

I guess all I really want is chrome without the tracking.

warcode··on Dementia rates 'higher near busy roads'
ANC/R works by sending out the opposite waveform of the noise, at about the same volume. It does not remove noise.

Passive noise control through insulation is the best solution for residential buildings.

warcode··on Uber employees used the platform to stalk celebrities and their exes
If you report it as stolen and ask for it to be blocked that will stop all transactions on it.

If it expires or you get a new card in a normal flow it can be charged further.

warcode··on If you get rich, you won’t quit working for long
Clearly Keith does not play video games.
warcode··on Bullet-proof Arch Linux install process
As a developer that always tries to make software that "just works" for the users, I always wondered if the Arch devs are masochists or sadists.
warcode··on Ask HN: Best current model routers for OpenWRT, DD-WRT, Tomato, etc.?
If all you need is a wireless network the UniFi AP-AC series is great. I don't have any reason to put OpenWRT on it.
warcode··on FDA Agrees to New Trials for MDMA as Relief for PTSD Patients
Calling MDMA "Ecstasy" seems like bad journalism. While Ecstasy should contain MDMA it often has all kinds of other things in it.

Nobody would ever allow the use of Ecstasy as a treatment drug.

warcode··on Fix Windows 10 Privacy
Please write the tutorial to run all windows games (at the same performance level) on linux and we're talking.
warcode··on Ask HN: Best encrypted messaging app atm?
I recommend Threema as well. Been using it for a couple of years.

Accounts not tied to phone number, available on IOS, Android and Windows Phone, perfectly working group chats.

warcode··on Nvidia adds telemetry to latest drivers
Fastmail for features and ease of use. Protonmail if you want security.
warcode··on Introducing Unified Update Platform
This is the one thing that makes me wonder how any developer at microsoft can be using windows 10.
warcode··on Let's Automate Let's Encrypt
I just used https://certbot.eff.org/

Put "certbot-auto renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade" in crontab and it does its own thing.

warcode··on All you wanted to know about ‘all-hands’ meetings
Ah, yes. "Invigorated", by being with tons of other people, not knowing if you are gonna be put in the spotlight at any time. Also known as "exhausted" if you are introverted.
warcode··on Choose Firefox Now, or Later You Won't Get a Choice (2014)
Did Firefox fix their performance degradation over time yet?

Every time I try to switch back its fine for 2 weeks and then starts to get slower, like the internal database breaks or something. This is two weeks with 2-3 windows, with 5-20 tabs each, without restarts.

So far Vivaldi has been the best chrome replacement for me.
