Unless you use a hardware password mgr which can emulate a USB keyboard :)

gramasaurous | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: Podcat – Imdb for podcasts
Adding to this, there seems to be something weird going on as Jordan Morris is only listed as being on 1 episode of Jordan, Jesse Go! (which he is the co-host of)[0]. Something seems to be off in how people are attached to episodes/podcasts as well. Definitely more analysis needs to be done - which makes you realize how much more complex of a problem this really is!

Could be talking about [0] meundies. Although that seems to be an LA company based on their hiring website.

Found a guide to do this [0] but without a web interface for configuration, or figuring out if there is a wifi device. Would be easy to setup a script to run on boot to check to see if a wireless network interface is attached, then set up the ad-hoc network accordingly and serve a simple config page. Finally something to do with my pi(s)!

That would be a pretty useful utility to build actually. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work unless these wifi adapters don't have the ability to broadcast their own network. Would be fun to give it a try!

Reminds me of this[0] talk by Guy Steele where he explicitly defines any word outside of a given set before he can use that term in his speech. Interesting language exercise, definitely worth a watch!

Maybe so, but I've only just started seeing it within the last few weeks. I've been on HN for less than a year so maybe thats why.

Can anyone explain the following trend to me? I've been seeing it alot lately:
On the install page [0] the installation instructions tell people to run this command:
curl https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sudo bash
This seems to me to be an extremely bad idea. Why would I want to pipe arbitrary commands into my shell? Even worse, the shell has to run with root priveleges? Does anyone actually do this? Am I overthinking it?
Of course, I can verify the contents of the script, but I still don't know that the script I've verified on their website is the script that's being run in my shell. Is it OK because the script is hosted over https, and therefore can't be modified on transmission?

Sounds right, I just heard a voice over the PA system.
gramasaurous | 11 years ago | on: Apple – Live – September 2014 Special Event
Yup, seems a few people hear it as well.
gramasaurous | 11 years ago | on: Apple – Live – September 2014 Special Event
Yeah, it's quite bothersome. I've muted it until the show starts. Interestingly though, they seem to be playing a Tycho album in the background.
gramasaurous | 11 years ago | on: Apple – Live – September 2014 Special Event
The video started for me a few minutes ago, anyone else notice that there seems to be two songs playing in the background at once?

Anyone else notice the similarities in their logos as well?
gramasaurous | 11 years ago | on: Just press go: designing a self-driving vehicle
Exactly, and the way I see it is that driverless cars will remove the parts of driving that people don't enjoy, things like commuting, dealing with traffic, and parking (and running over pedestrians). But people who enjoy driving, are still free to a leisurely drive up the coast, or to race on the local track.

Now imagine someone hiding in the hood of your car waiting to cut your brakes while you are traveling 80mph down the freeway.
