I haven't seen any mention of opening the sources to the public. If I don't have access to the sources, how will I know for sure that they can't read my messages?

Makkhdyn | 12 years ago | on: Your Feedback Matters – Update on Xbox One

I really don't understand why they aren't trying to do something in between.

If you download/buy a game from xbox live you can virtually lend it and a connection is require to lend the game (and temporary disable your access to that game). If you own a physical copy you can lend it as you did before. Everyone's happy and if the new system is that good and the consumers are happy then maybe the next system could be through xbox live only.

Because Google learns what your preferences are, DDG don't. This is why there is no "search bubble", unfortunately it comes at a price.

I don't know what's the opinion of everyone on that, but to me it's just as bad as a paywall.

Makkhdyn | 12 years ago | on: .io domains down?

Isn't that a bit unfair to judge the quality of their service based on the DNS being down for every .io service?

Makkhdyn | 12 years ago | on: Uses of Tmux Explained

This is what I use with Tmux: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto/blob/master/modules/...

Basically a daemon session is started (if it wasn't there before) and every terminal you open automatically connects to that session. This means that you can close every terminal, the session is still open and new terminals will use the already existing session. As long as tmux itself isn't stopped (reboot, etc.) you'll stay in the same session.

Which is cool because everything is de facto detached.

That's nice. La Poste (the french mail service) has a similar service: https://boutiqueducourrier.laposte.fr/lettre-en-ligne (in french obviously) and it's relatively cheap too. They have quite a lot of options such as recorded delivery and high priority mail.

I'm too lazy to search but I wouldn't be surprised if royal mail did the same thing in the UK

Feedly "Firefox only"... I'm not sure that list is reliable

It seems that it will be

> I'm a firm believer in open source software and open source technologies. I can guarantee you that Light Table will be built on top of the technologies that are freely available to us today. As such, I believe it only fair that the core of Light Table be open sourced once it is launched. At some level, this is an experiment in how open source and business can mix - it will be educational for us all.

Some people might apply without reading the conditions. The first one being that you need to be a startup.

Makkhdyn | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why do companies like IBM, HP and Oracle avoid showing prices?

In that case one could argue that the service is tailored to the meet the precise requirements of the client and it explains the price variation (and why the price isn't displayed).
