splch | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: HP Dev One, any buyers remorse?

I've been using a framework with Fedora and so far the experience has been fantastic. The only cons I've noticed is half the battery life of my MBP and loud fans. I'm often near an outlet and don't do CPU-heavy tasks unplugged, so the framework has been all I need and I'm listening to music so I don't notice the fans. I would seriously consider a framework instead of HP.

An LA event would be a lot of fun!

What are you using now? I've only heard of GNU Savannah.

You could always install a different OS on your son's Chromebook since it would still have access to all of the school's software (through Chrome) and more. I'd recommend GalliumOS (https://galliumos.org/) since the drivers support audio and keyboard shortcuts better.

Again, any sources that aren't just word of mouth?

I did a variation on this in high school, where the wife (in this case) would also have to choose you. So it was at what point you stop searching if your partner is also playing the same game. It makes more sense imo since you can't just decide that someone will marry you.

splch | 4 years ago | on: How to Lose Stars on GitHub?

I think you should update the title of the blog to be: We lost 3800 stars on Github in 5 clicks, 1 of which confirmed losing all stars

discovered this site this year! super thankful for that :)

splch | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: You.com, private search engine that summarizes the web – built for devs

I don't like requiring a chrome extension to search, and giving a 404 error on uninstall (https://you.com/chrome_uninstall_survey) is suspicious. If the developers aren't checking links and testing their product, then I don't want to use it.

splch | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: How were video games from the 90s so efficient?

I love this video: https://youtu.be/ZWQ0591PAxM

As part of a Kickerstarter campaign, Morphcat Games made this video explaining how they eked out a really incredible game with only 40 Kb (a lot like Super Mario Bros 2). I definitely recommend checking this out as they go over interesting compression methods and more general thought processes.

I noticed there're some trackers in the pages. Is it possible to completely remove all tracking and make the site have better privacy?
