There's a legal agreement to even look at the images.

Github enterprise works great.

The battery on Glass works for about 1.4 hours, probably shorter if you were continuously recording.

gunmetal | 12 years ago | on: Salt: Like Puppet, Except It Doesn’t Suck

Salt is missing templates, the ability to use higher level programming language and all the environment/roles that I find the most powerful part of Chef.

Internal server error

gunmetal | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam

I stopped at entering my name, company and position. Why can't I try this out anonymously? The stakes are too high for most people to willy nilly add their personal info to a conduit for recruiters.

Soundcloud, Github, SublimeText2, Carbon-Copy-Cloner, WinClone 3, Netflix, Spotify, Humble Indie Bundle 7

gunmetal | 13 years ago | on: A Return to Linux on the Workstation

Even a Joyent tech admits Ubuntu is a more pleasant experience. Thought this was interesting, but all his points are not isolated to the desktop experience. Pretty much all the reasons he switched to linux affect the building and maintenance of servers too. I think it just boils down to community support.

I've always felt that Sugoi weather clothes are some of the best out there. Windproof up to 35mph but still semi breathable.

Never wear headphones while biking in a city. Unless you want to die.

The new digg == 504 Gateway timeout. Great job guys.

TL;DR I'm losing all my programmers because I'm not paying them enough.

Too much space, going back to old way.

Good job guys! Pitt alumni rules.

This is supposed to be funny right?

gunmetal | 15 years ago | on: Software engineers hard to find

At most companies the hiring process is severely broken. They are being too careful and are so scared to train the right person.

Is there a way to watch an offline movie with the media player?

gunmetal | 15 years ago | on: 10% unemployment yet every startup in NYC struggling to hire

The resume/interview hiring process is severely broken in US. It is not the schools, it's the companies hiring, they are looking for some perfect holy grail but really need to just start hiring people and pick through the chaff. These startups deserve what they get making it impossible to even find their 'perfect employee'.

I thought this would be about getting a job doing black hat programming...bummed when it wasn't

gunmetal | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What martial arts do you practice? What do you recommend?

Another Vote for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Make sure to find a gym that does not specialize in tough guys.
