Exactly right! there are a whole lot of after-market part suppliers for major appliances like dishwashers, laundry washing machines etc. Some of them have a parts list and assembly schematic hidden in the machine.

ErikRogneby — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 17:03:54 +0000

If you turn off auto expanding gifs and images it saves a lot of your battery. I also wonder if the browser based client is any less of a hog?

To answer your question, if I'm on the CLI, I'm doing work. Slack helps with team cohesion but is a focus killer. I wouldn't be interested.

Might as well say don't use the web. Disabling javascript will break most sites with a few rare exceptions. (like HN)

Has anyone seen a way to disable this feature at a repo or org level? I'm not crazy about master getting treated like Dropbox.

Wasn't there a project a while back where someone was building a open source modem/router from the ground up? A kick starter or something?

I was thinking the same thing. People who get hooked on the sport using a $100 board may eventually learn more about the details of the sport and purchase a $1000 board and develop a relationship with their local surf shop.

Fly fishing has similar cheap gear at box stores, yet still has a healthy eco-system of specialty shops.

Lucid dreaming is exhausting. When I was younger I trained myself to maintain that thread of control as a fell asleep. It is an incredibly powerful experience to be able to command every aspect of reality. I didn't wake up rested though, it was the exact opposite. Managing both my own actions and decisions and the entire world I was interacting with wiped me out.

As a side note, it was much harder to learn to stop doing it, than to start.

I expect that this will change nothing and that these locks will continue to provide the same illusion of privacy and security that they did before.

The other option is to buy s $3 padlock at your hardware store and risk TSA breaking out the bolt cutters. Cheaper than a beer in coach.

Helpling access and consume it is called secondary liability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_liability

I expect the case law around this sort of thing will continue to evolve.

New comment by ErikRogneby in "Ask HN: How to contribute to Open Source projects without feeling overwhelmed?"

ErikRogneby — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 18:34:00 +0000

The best way to start contributing is by using an open source project and open issues on any problems you find. Or for features that you would like. Then see if you can fix one of those small issues yourself. Fork, fix, and submit your pull request.

Documentation issues are also a great place to start and can have you digging in the code to truly understand what an API or method are suppose to do.

Is your correlated.org data-set or result-set available bulk or via API?

Nobody is lucky to have xenophobic and bigoted leaders.
