This is the time to show solidarity by activating our resources and bootstrap a new economy.
The banks together with our rampant financial illiteracy all need to go, are we still not able to scale blockchain transactions? Is there a secure "libbitcoin" written in Rust yet? Do we have super secure and crypto currency focused "micro" operating systems / servers on open hardware?
Where are the people working on this? As a global economy - and civilization - we need to stick together and show some love and ingenuity.
I always had high admiration for the SuperH architecture and now to read about its potential to fuel the much-needed open hardware movement is fantastic news.
At age 32 my hearing is apparently at the level of a 66 year old. I'm not much of a concert attender nor drug user so the only real explanation the doctor could give for my disappointing audiogram was my habit of regularly working with headphones on (I always took care of moderate volume, mind you).
I wasn't expecting this result at all, I actually thought my hearing was perfect but hearing loss starts at the highest frequencies and continues to the lower frequencies exponentially. The route towards "Sorry, what did you say?" doesn't take as long as you might suspect.
I've been interested in Kinesis keyboards for a while now but am still undecided because the more I think about the whole problem of HCI from a programmer's perspective the more I question my own assumptions. I'm wondering if something far out like the Twiddler could really work for somebody living in a text editor with vim bindings most of the day. If anybody had to share their experience with it I would be very interested to hear it (e.g. experience working with your legs up).
Yes and please do blog about it regularly if you feel like it - this whole thread on legacy systems is the most interesting read on HN for a long time IMHO.
I'm very interested in more modular, simpler alternatives to react / flux. Essentially I'm looking for reactive "isomorphic" component based, virtual dom solutions like react - mainly to integrate with a node.js workflow.
I was wondering if anyone had tried both Mithril as well as Deku(https://github.com/segmentio/deku) who would like to share their experience?
I simply love NYC, seldom felt so much energy - a lot of startups and a vibrant developer community too. IMHO San Francisco is kind of boring in comparison and the weather actually isn't that much better either ;)
I'm probably forever spoiled by Rails' ActiveRecord - has anybody here used http://thinky.io with Node/RethinkDB? I really like to define my objects in an OOP fashion with class/instance methods included and would prefer a convenience "ORM" library for that purpose.
I'm a US fan myself - I love the culture - but its people are being misled continously by the powers that be (military industrial complex tag-teaming with a handful of media moguls).
As so often the case it's about money and power (e.g. oil). Where was the police during the Rwanda and Dafur genocides? Even the UN kept relatively silent in contrast to how horrible those were.
