ktt | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What laptop should I get instead of a Macbook Pro?

Which version? I've got XPS 13 9350 and it's been a constant pain. Boot time is very slow [0], bluetooth connectivity is weak, I've got constant graphic glitches when on battery. Latest update of the video driver introduced annoying coil noise, I had to downgrade. Actually I have two XPS 13s at home and both of them have some issues.

I'm also using Dell Thunderbold Dock TB15 and it drops video output and USB connections after 3h (because of heat) [1].

Of course I've got everything updated.

I had an excellent experience with XPS 12 years ago but this 9350 is constantly driving me crazy. I would certainly not recommend it.

Not the parent but I'm using it to stage sections of the file and then revert everything that is not staged. For example all logging statements. Or use staging as a mini commit. It's sometimes easier to look at the diff and stage what you consider to be working code without introducing commits. That of course could also be done with committing and then squashing but that's more work :)

What's interesting is that this project seems to be using itself for code review.

Clone the repo and then fetch notes manually:

    git fetch origin refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*
After installing it through "go get" check existing code reviews with "git appraise list".

There are notes from Jenkins and comments from developers as far as I can see.

Seems to be a little bit slow on my computer but the idea is really brilliant.

Unfortunately most of the material on ChatOps currently covers only how to get Hubot to display cat pictures or other trivia [1]. Maybe it's because each company should create their own "chat API" but I'd also like to hear some real, inside "war stories".

Does anyone knows what app does GitHub use for chats? Looks like a simple and elegant UI over Basecamp.

ktt | 10 years ago | on: List of secure websites

TLS is not strictly mandatory in HTTP/2 (see h2c) but even if it was this list solves another problem - when user types e.g. Google.com in their browser the initial connection is made via HTTP. Preload list says "if this domain is typed in address bar go straight to HTTPS, if that's not possible stop the connection".
