It would be quite interesting to see how these “tire contact” motors will perform once it starts raining or your tires get really dirty. I think there is a reason, why crank or hub located motors are the norm now.

We switched from Google Maps to OpenMapTiles for the same reason. Running OpenMapTiles via Docker was pretty easy. We bought a license for the Tiles (Europe) and it was a one time fee only.

First, pretty cool idea! I have to try it, but it looks good at the first glance. I think you should add a bigger "Download" button to your download documentation (i.e. here: http://www.pibakery.org/docs/insta

I basically do the same. I work 4 days a week and I feel that I'm not really less productive. The fact that I have one day per week off, gives me a reason to procrastinate less and do more with the time I have. I remember the time from

By that i mean, that our decisions today, will effect everything that follows. If we educate people that privacy is a privilege, they might not do things (sharing personal information) in the future, that they would otherwise do. And i&#x27

So what you're saying is, just because our governments collect everything, everybody else should be allowed to do it too, or stop worrying? The fight for privacy is not for us, it's for generations to come.

I have hope that this will change. Because more and more people live a fake life on social media. Some people go crazy and share everything, but more and more people share less[^1] and if they share something, it's only something that

That's the thing with personal pictures online. Most people can't imagine what is going to happen in the future. People on Hacker News well understand this issue, but ask your non-computer friends and family. If you'd tell th

But it's running inside a VM, so if you install it natively, it should be a lot smoother.

I'm going a little off-topic here, but i just found out about Nylas. What i don't understand is the Cloud integration. If i use Nylas with my IMAP account, does Nylas upload any data to your cloud? Can i use it as a basic Mail.app

In comparison to most GUI apps on Linux, this looks pretty good. It might not be perfect, but if i had to choose between no linux port, and a good-enough linux port, i'll choose the latter.

More or less off topic, but what is the best way to play DOOM on a modern Mac or PC? I have the CD of The Ultimate DOOM. The same could be asked for Quake 1 & 2 :)

It's clear that Microsoft is not targeting the same audience as Oculus and HTC. 3000 USD for a developer edition is a bold statement. I guess hololens will "fail". A few big companies will buy them and develop random software

The article just describes how to use Tor as an alternative to port-forwarding/dynamic DNS. It does not say this is the best and most secure way to access your server. Still, what you've said is true.

Just as a quick sidenote: If your plugin directory is inside your User folder, it seems that you have to add the +x flag to your plugins. Example: chmod +x pluginname.sh

My guess is that this is just their launch device. I bet they will add other tablets from other manufacturers over time. Like with normal laptops, you can choose the hardware based on your needs. To me the software is key, not if the tablet

Does it always have to make you money? I feel blogging is much more about sharing content, building a community and meeting new people. In my personal experience i met a few people through various blogs and it was worth much more, than a fe
