"“I would line up the angles so I was hidden from the teacher’s view,” he says, adding that he found out years later that an enlightened principal had instructed teachers to allow it. "

This is very cool, kudos to the principal.

These days many services ask for a phone number for 2FA just to sign up, it'd be great to have a tool that gave you multiple numbers on demand so you don't have to give out your phone number.

It would be great to have some compiled data on various companies/teams and the obligations + merits that they do or do not meet.

It's great that industry standards like Git are taught. I wish introductory computer science at my school included coding, never underestimate the power of piquing a student's interest. Many more of my classmates might be interesting in coding if our CS101 was done right.

Docker, containers are crazy powerful and cool too!

Lots of cool stuff in the space like Kubernetes, Swarm, CoreOS, rkt!!

I've been using Docker, I love it. Hope to weigh the pros and cons of Swarm and Kubernetes and try those out too, but for most of my applications networked Docker containers are sufficient.

Maybe I'm missing something, but any changes you made to the application would not be saved, correct?

For example in Chrome assuming you downloaded something, you would have to specify the target location as your native filesystem, not the overlay filesystem in the docker container. Is it possible to do that?

This is great, fascinating to know that Flask was inspired by Armin Ronacher's April Fools joke!

Still got to appreciate his resolve to bring out better microframework than the existing alternatives at the time.

I guess you could say that "YouTube is the final frontier"

This is gold.

I've seen so many of these, even on websites with lots of traffic. Websites have to be written taking into consideration the way it loads too, especially on mobile data. I've found the Chrome DevTools feature where you can throttle bandwidth comes in super handy for this.

WebRTC Datachannels are awesome, I've always thought they could be leveraged for efficient peer to peer gaming but this is definitely interesting as well.

Getting started with webrtc datachannels is easy and you can even have your server in Python Flask, but keep in mind you'll have to handle multiple concurrent connections.

Here's a simple file sharing demo I made a while ago https://github.com/suhithr/CampFile

"You might say I’ve won this battle. However I just spent 20 hours armor-plating a cat feeder. I think we know who’s really in control here, don’t we?"

The title is rather misleading.

Looks like they were going for clickbait :(

"Its main tank could hold 300 gallons of fuel but it wouldn’t take off with more than 80 gallons on board"

I love how the images are in grayscale!

Represents the fact that all these photos were taken during the graveyard hours far better than if they were in color.

This article is a pretty interesting one on the topic!

This keeps coming up on HN, in the end the best thing to do is exactly as the article says. ACTUALLY SEND the email and see if they get it.

Like TinyURL for your car is kind of weak, but it seems super cool. Great use of an old android phone too!

Fantastic!

Completely forgot about those. Thanks

The amount of engineering that has gone into this is incredible.

It's true Facebook is poised to become a huge source of news and information sharing. It would be great if they could release clear guidelines regarding the type of content allowed on Facebook Live, however doing so might reduce their control as they'd have to answer to those very guidelines.
