I tried switching to OSM in an effort to get away from google maps. People always say 'OSM is consumer ready' but forget that OSM first and foremost is the dataset. And as far as i am concerned, there is no good maps app on the iO

+1 for Canada. I feel for larger countries like canada or the states some option to limit ads to certain regions/states/etc would be very benefitial.

2 questions: 1) cryptostorm would still have the ip the isp assigned a user. mapping this ip to a real name is trivial. right? 2) The cryptostorm team decided to remain 'pseudoanonymous' at this point. The points they outline (pri

I am really looking forward to TextSecure for iOS. I hope I am wrong on this one, but from the text on their Website Heml.is doesn't seem to be too eager to open source their code after release. I don't know any details about whis

thanks for mentioning that. never knew that uTorrent is actually developed by Bittorrent Inc. That makes it indeed very hard to trust the BT Sync service

best of luck. i really hope you succeed with this. it seems that right now all opensource dropbox alternatives, while great, have a shortcoming somewhere (git annex, sparkleshare, btsync...)

Can anyone who is running this explain why and how he uses it? As far as I understand it, its not a media center solution but rater a self hosted social network focused on sharing media. How would a typical use case look like: Set up a medi

just for completeness sake and because no one mentioned it yet: https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick yes, you need ruby for it but I dont really see that as a problem. Its a bit confusing at first (could be jus

A problem I see is every car manufacturer building his own system, maybe with a standardized communication channel to speak to other cars but the control software in itself will be bound to a certain manufacturer. This means different bugs

especially when you think about the fact that a lot if not most traffic jams are ghost jams, where a slight overreaction ripples through the following cars causing them all to stop for no apparent reason.

You're right, but the software of an autonomous car will be held to much higher standard than just 'has be to better or equal to a human driver'. The whole thing gets interesting when you look at the judicial side of it: Who

this looks awesome, lots of luck. Am I understanding this correctly that this is basically a selfhosted imap/pop/smtp frontend? I am curious how you guys would use it, i.e. where would you actually host your emails? Running your o

yup. I worked on a simple game AI (Connect6) for a university project implemented in Verilog. Initial prototyping in python was super easy and quickly done, translating the same program to Verilog took multiple weeks. We split the program u

I just skimmed through their discussion board for a while, and it seems they are planning to employ a couple of industry experts (whatever that means) fulltime or for consultation with the money they made from their crowdfunding campaign.

I really like the idea but am hesitant at this early stage to buy soylent. If the general impression is still good after it has been on the market for quite a while I am pretty sure I will order. I don't think I could switch completely

What about the recent lawsuits and uber violating transport regulations? My impression (without really following the thing, just reading headlines and a few HN comments) was that Uber can compete with such low prices by not following some l

Very impressive demo. So happy to finally see python support. What is used for the javascript rendering? I assume since they are using the chrome dev tools they are embedding chromium into Lighttable?

i was wondering about the same thing. perhaps the result is a bit skewed because of people searching for the meaning if the fileextension js? On the other hand, it started to rise in 2007 when ext.js 2.0 was released.

I don't think anyone says the public is stupid because they don't know what Dihydrogen Monoxide is. The problem is that no one saw the need to do a one minute wikipedia search for the term before panicking and calling the local authorities.

There are some conspiracy theories floating around the deaths of Boris Floricic [1] and Karl Koch [2]. Especially the latter one is often connected to the KGB due to his involvement as a hacker during the cold war. [1] http://en.wikipedia.

Is there a one-click all in one open source solution I can use to get rid of Gmail? And by that I mean email, calendar etc. Something I can perhaps just throw up on an S3 instance and pay a few bucks for it every month? Even if we are just

So the longterm goal of this would be to replace oh-my-zsh and it's host all plugins in one repository and hope robyrussel merges the change request? Sounds pretty good if this works out I think. Are there any obvious downsides?

by schabernakk 14y ago
Well I guess the intent is the same but it looks a lot more like Vundle (or Bundler). You just have to define the package name in a textfile (like with Bundler) instead of managing git submodules or downloading plugins another way into thei

What do you mean? Arch and Gentoo are two pretty successful distributions and both use a rolling release approach.
