    Is this like the 3rd time this got close to/on top of front page of hacker news?

    • Hnrobert42 2 hours ago

      Yes. And I can't understand why it is interesting. I mean why it is front page interesting.

        My theory is that Mac users are excited about the idea that they have some control over their hardware.

        This gold deserves repost. Moreover, the real reason for this software having been created is that the creator is looking for job

            There's nothing wrong with that.

              There is.. we don't need to see the exact same front page articles each week - it reduces the signal to noise ratio for regulars.

                Then don’t upvote it. No sense in complaining about what hits the front page - it’s decided by votes of visitors.

                    That XKCD really only applies to interesting things, and OP doesn't really cut it.

            How often do we need to repost this?

                How often will you repost this?

                    My guess: as often as necessary until folks get it. No sense in complaining about what the community has voted to the front page. Presumably, some have not seen it.

                Déjà vu. Groundhog day? What's this? Are we in a matrix?

                    People have been paying far too much for protractors for far too long.

                    I hope the author can leverage his innovation in goniometry to put 'big protractor' out of business.

                      I remember in my third year med school orthopedic surgery rotation when a resident or attending pulled what I thought was a nifty folding protractor out of his pocket to measure flexion angle of a knee. Only then did I first encounter the word "goniometer."

                        I wonder how many lines of code would be in Swift.
