whois··on Neo Emacs – Emacs from the Future
I keep meaning to check out Lem. It just pains me having to get my setup set up all over again. But, long term Lem is probably the move.
whois··on NEO Emacs – GPU-Accelerated Emacs Powered by Rust
Interesting interesting. I'm huge into Emacs and have felt like Emacs has needed a Neovim sort of moment for a while now. A lot of the modern features you'd expect out of an IDE are bad and slow in Emacs rn due to threading and pretty core issues to Emacs (so I cope and say I don't need autocomplete).

But also suspicious of anything this AI generated which touts rust like this.

whois··on Building iOS Apps with Doom Emacs
Nice article. How has lsp mode been with Emacs? I've been continuously battling slow downs and hangs using lsp mode w Python and have tried many approaches like lsp-bridge which tries to do the majority of the work outside of emacs.
whois··on We Need to Talk About Docker Hub
Your response feels in bad faith. Docker is the default registery. That gives them n amount of responsibility. Not to mention organizations should be accountable for their bad behavior. Don't give them a pass.
whois··on How long would society last during a total grid collapse?
This guy has an amazing YouTube channel and just released a really cool book. I'm doing a book club going through it right now and it's really cool!
whois··on Memory Bandwidth Napkin Math
Oh snap it's Forest! I wonder what he's up to these days. He used to be a dev at Uber Entertainment and did some cool community engagement.
whois··on BMW Connected Apps Protocol
> Cries for help on the Spotify forums were ignored

Yea sounds about right :(

whois··on Go Interrupt: Easily Handle Signals with Contexts
I made this to handle graceful shutdown of a net/http.Server and other similar components.

I found myself implementing the same pattern over and over again, hope people can benefit from this simple small library.

whois··on Show HN: patchbay.pub – Poor man's ngrok/IFTTT/serverless
Ah yea I totally understand.

I love this thing though. So simple but powerful.

whois··on Show HN: patchbay.pub – Poor man's ngrok/IFTTT/serverless
I like this. Have you considered releasing the source so people can run it on their own servers?
whois··on Apollo 11 in Real Time
This is so cool! I've just been sitting here listening for a while now.
whois··on The Riots in France Are What Happens When Facebook Changes It Algorithm
Can we change the title to the actual article's title? The HN one is extremely inflammatory.
whois··on Tracking Planes with RTL-SDR, Apache Kafka, KSQL, Kibana and a Raspberry Pi
Thanks.

What the heck was the submission link? The most technical it got was "using some clever database coding"...

whois··on NSA encryption plan for ‘internet of things’ rejected by ISO
So happy to see a Wiki Tribune link here. I think the project is super cool, I hope it stays around.
whois··on Show HN: Endel – sound environments to help you focus
After taking a 5 second look:

My guess is that the calendar invite includes a link to the site. I've known people who will block out periods of time for "Deep Work" sessions on their calendar. Could just be a convenient way of helping people schedule those and drive them back to the app. You def. don't need to use this feature.

whois··on Economist behind Uber study admits error, adjusts numbers
Think so.
whois··on High Performance Browser Networking (2013)
I can not recommend reading this book enough. I learned an insane amount.

I find myself using what I learned several times a week. Simply having a slightly more in depth understanding of some parts of networking benfited my thought process hugely when it came to working on problems in that area.

whois··on Ask HN: What password managers do you use?
I very much like the philosophy behind it. I'll definitely check it out.
whois··on Ask HN: What password managers do you use?
Oo I like the self-hosted and PGP based parts of it. I've also recently found BitWarden, which you can self-host as well.
whois··on Ask HN: Recommended password manager for personal(non-techie) use?
Could you tell me a little bit about Bitwarden? Any glaring cons that you could think of right out of the gate? How is fill on mobile?

I'm really liking it so far (After ~1 minute of research). An open source password manager with a CLI (coming soon https://github.com/bitwarden/cli), what's not to love?!

whois··on Ask HN: What password managers do you use?
Were you using a different service before LastPass? If so I'd be interested in hearing about it.
whois··on Ask HN: Recommended password manager for personal(non-techie) use?
DON'T use LastPass. I just found this thread after posting a similar one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15962172).

LastPass is super buggy, and their support is like a broken record, sending basic debugging steps day long (Like "have you tried re-installing the extension and rebooting"). And on top of all that, you have to trust a single company to keep your data secure, on the cloud, where anyone could hack it.

Right now I'm trying out Enpass but am looking for others.

whois··on Update: Looking Glass Add-On
What's really the big deal? It was sent out disabled. They didn't get payed for it. It's like if devs snuck in an Easter egg for their favorite show in a video game.

Everyone keeps calling this the "end if Mozilla" and all that, I think people are overreacting juuussstttt a bunch.

Chill out, put down your pitchforks, and keep the flag disabled.

whois··on Storify End-of-Life
Maybe something with the internet archive?
whois··on Ask HN: Is Meteor.js still a thing?
Yes! The company I work for uses it for most of its user facing apps.

No matter what poeple say about Meteor, the fact remains that having the ability to live push data to the frontend, and share code between client and server, with absolutely no extra work is supper appealing.

whois··on Debunking the Java Performance Myth
Really? You've never heard people joke about Java being slow? Half the programmers I've met have this cult like hate of java and cite performance as the main reason.
whois··on Why I Fell in Love with Arch Linux (2015)
I have this wiki page where I documented everything I did to setup my arch system. Disk encryption included: https://github.com/Noah-Huppert/.dotfiles/wiki/System-Instal...
whois··on Show HN: Hurricane Tweets
It's cool to see how the platform is being leveraged for this event.

I tried to check it out myself but Snapchat was bugging out and getting a bit laggy so it was hard to really view.

whois··on Show HN: Hurricane Tweets
Didn't make it but my thought is maybe the person left styling off so it would load quickly, mobile coverage is an issue during hurricanes.
whois··on Iodine: A full superset of Java with enhancements
Yea I use Intellij Ultimate for just about everything.

And at least on my computer (I know this isn't representative) Android Studio isn't the laggy piece of crap everyone says it is. It works just like Intellij but with Android support.
