Glad I didn't fall for the hashlet scam, though unfortunately I did buy a couple of miners from them. At least I can use them as paperweights now. Big giant paperweights.

Re: How to publish iOS apps to the App Store with GitLab and fastlane

I made a quicker method of getting a test version that doesn't require TestFlight if your device is on the same network as the Mac runner. (Would like to know if there's a way around the network thing--maybe have to be an enterprise developer?)

See my version here: https://radiosound.com/blog...

Commented some thoughts on this epic as well, aiming to improve the "device" management side of this process. https://gitlab.com/groups/g...

Re: GitLab 10.4 released with Dynamic Application Security Testing and Web IDE (beta)

fury — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:05:30 -0000

Agreed. I'm on several small teams that each handle many projects. Often one person to each of many projects lately. At least in my case, in the last week or two, I've switched between editing a mostly static website, a Rails app, a Visual C++/MFC application, a Qt application, Bash scripts, and Linux drivers. About to fire up a few new projects as well. I'm not expecting you to replicate Visual Studio, Qt Creator, Atom, or Sublime in a free web UI, but this is a lot of rapid context switching that might be mitigated by having a multi-file editor right there in the browser to do some more sophisticated edits than updating the copyright year. None of the teams I'm on are in a position to pay $1,000 a year a pop...this licensing decision seems to be aimed at the wrong end of the market. If you're a big enough organization to afford the price of admission, do you still have the same issues that a more capable web IDE addresses?

Re: Kubernetes Nginx Ingress controller

fury — Tue, 25 Jul 2017 19:16:51 -0000

It sounds like you either forgot this kubectl create -f default-backend-deployment.yaml -f default-backend-service.yaml -n=ingress

or accidentally put it in the wrong namespace maybe. Check that you created those files and that you put them in the right namespace:

kubectl get deploy --all-namespaces

Re: Un-carrier 12 is T-Mobile One, the end of data buckets and arrival of one unlimited plan

fury — Thu, 18 Aug 2016 15:36:14 -0000

I regularly use 60-70 gigs a month, and am still rocking the original $50 plan with $20 unlimited addon that I bought when I signed up in 2013.

Paying $40 more than I am now to get the same thing as I have now doesn't sound very uncarrier. In fact, it's about the price I was paying AT$T in 2013 before I switched.

Re: T-Mobile Un-carrier Unwrapped will bring 4 weeks of gifts, starting with unlimited LTE data for Simple Choice customers

fury — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:35:49 -0000

I'm still rocking the classic $20 unlimited add on. We got a couple of extra gigs worth of tethering some time ago. I usually don't use all 5 gigs anyway, but it's good to know it's there if my home internet fails or I need some data for another device while out and about. At some point we got free and unlimited texting and throttled data in other countries, still only paying $20. Reminds me of when carriers stopped doing roaming charges for going out of state--I just never have to worry about shutting my phone off going across the border to Canada anymore, and being able to stay connected is such a freeing feeling. Then we got unlimited LTE data in other countries. Still only paying $20. For whatever reason I had to call them and tell them I wanted the simple choice global or whatever it was, but they still didn't charge me another cent. I dunno, man, seems to me they have a tendency to give me more stuff without ever increasing the price. That they're now giving some temporary love to the lower plans doesn't bother me.

Granted, the new unlimited plan compared to my current one is $25 more, so it seems like new unlimited customers are footing the bill for all the things they're doing these days. Personally since the only benefit is of 14 gigs of tethering instead of 5, I'm gonna stick with my old $20 unlimited.

Re: How to fix the iPhone 6s Plus’ frame rate problem

fury — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:23:59 -0000

It's actually about 2.7x as many pixels plus a bit of resampling overhead, since the plus renders at 1242x2208 and downsamples to 1080x1920. The 6s is only a 1 mp screen whereas the plus is a 2 mp screen with a 2.7 mp "virtual" screen it draws to. That the GPU isn't 2.7x more powerful explains the disparity in performance between them

I'm not too sure the poor starving people would be able to eat an iPhone whole.

So I guess it's probably for the best that it was smashed up into little bite sized pieces.

Re: The Anker PowerCore 20100 Is a Pretty Crazy Battery for the Price

fury — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 21:05:20 -0000

The phone wouldn't take the juice if it couldn't stand the heat. It's a syringe/tap drawing juice from the power supply at whatever rate it deems safe. It is not like a pump that is forcing 2.4 amps down it constantly.

With a battery or power brick capable of giving it 2.4 amps, the iPhone 6 plus will typically only draw 2-2.1 amps max at the start of the charging process, and gradually slow down to a trickle of 1 amp, half an amp, and then less as it reaches full charge.

If the phone gets too hot, it will stop the charging process before the point of damage to the battery. (you will be plugged in, but the charging circuitry built into the phone will cease drawing any current)

Rate of charge even on a 2.4 amp power supply is still lower than the 1C rate of charge that lithium batteries like as far as longevity goes, so that's not a problem either. That is, it is well below the amount of current required to fully charge the battery in 1 hour. Anything more than that amount of current has been said to have a negative effect on battery longevity

In other words, you can't hurt it by using a 2.4 amp power supply.

Best thing you can do for it is to top up the charge often (10-20% here and there), rather than give it deep charges (letting it die before charging it back up), but even then, the difference is negligible.

I wish they'd go back to making top of the line 3.5"-4" phones. What is stopping them from just doing the same thing they did to the 6th gen touch? Cram a faster processor in the same body as the 5S, stick a bigger battery in there if the board shrinks small enough, call it good. Is that so much to ask?

Re: John Legere vows to go after T-Mobile “network abusers” on unlimited 4G LTE data plan

fury — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 13:36:04 -0000

I use anywhere from 30 to 100 gigs depending on how mobile I am at any given time. I watch/listen to a lot of podcasts, and by a lot I mean 20 or 30 shows a week, probably half of them video, some in HD about 2 gigs a show. If I'm at home a lot, then most of my podcasts will download at home and I'll only hit 30 or so. If I'm out and about a lot in a month, then I'll be downloading on LTEs. There's also the fact that I can't use certain services on work's wifi to save our bandwidth, so the more time I spend at work, the higher the cell data. Actually some of that data at work is used on Pandora, so I dunno how much I really use since it doesn't track music streaming.

I used to be without home internet service at home, but I still only used the allotted tethering data in emergencies (like to get access to my email on my laptop when it wasn't working right on my phone or something)

I accepted that my $20 unlimited (old, grandfathered) add on only came with 3 gigs of tethering included and I never really hit that limit except once anyway. Despite that, T-mobile gave me 2 extra gigs for free some time ago. They keep giving me more stuff without me having to pay more. Blows my mind.

I really like how the unlimited data enables me to be mobile and not really worry about my data usage. Tethering for a bit is icing on the cake. hey, whaddya know, a cake I can have AND eat.

I've been on the receiving end of being discriminated against due to my data usage, thanks to AT&T. Fought with them for months over whether I was tethering or not (hint: not). As long as T-mobile keeps their word and somehow has a way to only target the people they say they're targeting, I'm cool with it. If they start treating big data users like the bad guy, then I'm out. Luckily I don't have a contract, or a phone to pay off, so it's all good.

Hot damn. Diet Pepsi is now sweetened by sucralose instead of aspartame. It tastes just like the Pepsi One I remember!

I really like Cookies & Cream a lot. It is my current favorite. I haven't tried the chocolate peanut butter flavor yet but that's on my list to get next.

I took a single drink sample of every flavor (I think, except the new chocolate peanut butter) about a month ago, decided for my first big batch I'd order week supplies of each of Cookies & Cream, Vanilla, Cafe Mocha, and Butter Cream Toffee. I've made so much of the Cookies & Cream it's almost out. Vanilla is a close second right now.

My taste will vary, as will yours, so I'd definitely recommend getting samples of every flavor if you can front the cost. I went with single drink samples of each, but wish I would have gotten day samples of each so that I could test them more and narrow down which ones I'd get full batches of. I don't like Cafe Mocha and Butter Cream Toffee as much as I thought I did.

Do they make a Dymatize or other kind of protein powder that has a cheesy salty or savory flavor? I couldn't find one in the bit of hunting I did, maybe protein powder doesn't mix well with those flavors...

I settled down on Diet Pepsi. The store I go to used to carry Pepsi One, which I like even better (sweetened by sucralose), but I haven't seen it around here in a long time.

I had to fight back the urge to chug it the first few times I tried it. I can't get enough of the stuff. Ever thought about making a cheesy or other non-sweet variant of keto chow?

Re: Keto Chow 0.7 | Soylent Recipe | DIY Soylent

fury — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 20:02:03 -0000

Definitely on the right track giving up the sugary and bready stuff. Keep it up, and don't feel like you need the willpower to stop eating food entirely.

I still eat solid foods while doing keto chow. (Still drink diet soda, too!) Keto chow makes sure I get the recommended daily minimums, and it also satisfies my sweet tooth to boot (much better than so-called sugar-free candies and ice cream). Then I can safely eat my normal foods every day without feeling like I need to eat more of such and such to make sure I get potassium, or supplementing with a bunch of pills, etc.

The big trick is to make sure you continue to follow the keto / low carb guidelines with what you eat. I wouldn't fret about counting numbers, other than net carbs. The body is more than just a simple addition/subtraction machine, eating 500 "extra" calories isn't going to make you gain exactly 1/7th of a pound. I've tracked my intake/output through a Garmin vivofit2 and MyFitnessPal over the last month and a half, and the amazing thing I find is that there really is no correlation to the raw number of calories I'm eating, the estimated number of calories I'm burning, and the pounds I'm losing. I eat when I'm hungry, I eat til I'm full, I just make sure to eat the right kinds of food and it takes care of itself. I don't even really exercise, this is mostly just base metabolic rate (usually 3-5k burned a day just breathing and walking).

If you're hungry for a cheeseburger (without bun of course), eat a cheeseburger. It is perfectly fine. Hold the ketchup, tomato, and sweet sauces that will throw your body back out of ketosis if you're not careful. Mushroom swiss burgers are my fave.

Check out this low carb cake you can mix up in a couple minutes and make in the microwave: http://www.genaw.com/lowcar...

I found this one and used it for a while to recollect the taste of cake. Since I started keto chow, though, I haven't felt nearly as much desire to go for sweets.

Diet soda is perfectly fine on ketogenic diets, as far as I know.

Whatever you do, you gotta make sure you enjoy the way you eat, otherwise it's likely to fail.

A bigger battery? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAAAHAhahahhhaaahahahhhahahhahah.... haahahah....*gasp* ha *wipes tear from eye* oh god, that was a good one.

Apple will never fit that much of a bigger battery into a device. They would rather make it thinner, even if it means having a camera bump. case in point: 5th-6th generation iPod touch, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus.

This would, however, be a great device, and I would buy the shit outta that. I can only wish they'd make it.

Seconded, thirded, and motherfucking fourthed on the HDMI thing. Seriously stupid move. They wanted to remove the complexity of HDMI from the source device, but they don't have a technology to replace it with that has enough bandwidth to provide the equivalent signal, so they have actually increased the complexity by forcing the source device to encode the video to H.264 and the dongle device to decode it.

As for the price, well, early adopters have always paid more on iOS (as they did for the iPhone itself back in 2007). And the game developers aren't going to make games for the controllers until people buy the controllers. So, I bought a MOGA. Probably will buy this one too. (You're welcome?)

They left that kind of open, I think. Sure, there was blood and an empty baby seat, but I didn't see any baby remains. You have any idea how long it takes walkers to eat? Seriously, they sit there and chew on intestines like beef jerky or something. Right as the flu thing started and killed Patrick, he sat there happily nomming on Greg all night, and there was still enough of Greg left to go walking himself.

Basically, I think Rick and Carl kinda jumped the gun. Could be that one of the psycho girls hacked up a walker nearby (hence the blood), then grabbed the baby and ran (hence the empty seat).

I do have to admit, though, when I saw that, I thought to myself "huh, wonder if babies can turn into 'walkers'"
