>I've said this before, but we need the government to step in and provide a "free speech" public platform for people to say whatever they'd like, uncensored

No.

We need people to say whatever they like, and we need the government to prevent anyone from silencing them by force, potentially meaning we need the government to prevent domination of media.

It looks like Postwoman is is more of a simple utility right now. Perhaps it will grow to something more full-featured in the future but that seems to be the main differentiator right now. Insomnia, for example, supports environment variables, a GraphQL IDE, plugins, and many different authentication formats.

As the creator of Insomnia, I love seeing new projects like this and am really excited to see what Postwoman grows into. It looks awesome, is open source, and there's always room for more developer tools! :)
Should be fixed by now, as a bonus here is the original post:

That article does not describe any censorship abilities being granted to the ADL. It merely says that they're looking for solutions without stating what those solutions would be.
Did you mean Khaaaaaant! ?
I use Adblock, so the only time I think about ads are when a website's layout is wonky and I realise that's where the ad should be.
Audio Systems consist of electrical circuits (amplifier, player), mechanical circuits (loudspeaker-membrane) and acoustical circuits (air, room acoustics). All these parts can be modeled as circuits that directly interact with each other.

You can actually calculate the electrical properties of the mechano-acoustical loudspeaker+room or the acoustical properties of the electro-mechanical loudspeaker+amp. This is extremely helpful when designing loudspeakers since you can see the electrical, mechanical and acoustical properties all in one notation.
> This book (I have not read it)

You really should. It's a very good one. But don't ask me for anti-depressants when you finish it.
Looks interesting and I can dig the main proposition (a better visual way to write nested css rules), but I am having a hard time trying to find a usecase for the second feature (the !classname thing).

Overall it looks like something I would give it a try.
The downside is that a bunch of processes started from one TTY doesn't get as much CPU as before.
It basically shifts the scheduling granularity a level higher from processes to (interactive) sessions. Because that's what the question is: on which level do we want to have a fair scheduling? For a desktop user, processes have little meaning. Sessions, instead, are much more useful because they correspond better to his different tasks, for which he expects that the CPU power is distributed in a fair way.
Should be a great new initiative for start-ups in the UK and EU.
I love the explanation of how LZ77 works; compression algorithms often seem like they must use some sort of arcane magic, so it's great to lift the veil a bit.

I wonder: how many folks have Little Bunny Foo Foo stuck in their heads after reading this?
The API documentation is talking to the live version of the application. The pre-filled variables can be used for quick testing but this also means that when you make the default user (UUID) listen to the default service it will tell you that it's already doing that. Changing the UUID should be sufficient to give it a non-error response for that API call.

I'll add some documentation about what endpoints do and what kind of "flow" an application needs to interact with the API when I get home from work. I'll also finish my quick start guide while I'm at it then.
Yes, it's pure JScript, maybe not JavaScript.

Importantly, you can execute such a file merely by double-clicking it on Windows (hooray for the Windows Script Host!). So a .js file is far from harmless. It's equivalent to any other executable on Windows, since 98 onwards.
Nice, but why do mathematicians always overload their symbols? For example, on page 2, the right-arrow already has two meanings!

This isn't making things much clearer.
Ahhh the "undefined behavior" trope, whereby a C "expert" who's memorized a standard trots out the abstract machine to justify his point. An abstract machine that doesn't actually exist and that no computer actually functions as.

I'll take you up on that challenge. I'm curious to see how you'd write a program to make a for-loop never exit. Give me a few minutes...
I've never seen a password protected paid-wifi set up. Using arp and spoofing your Mac address is often enough to pretend you are an authenticated client to most of these systems.
Unless Intel's documentation is out of date, they still haven't full C++11 support.

Are you guessing, or have you seen actual reports/investigations that say that? I don't think it's so. China, for instance, doesn't have nearly the resources (or at least doesn't choose to use them) to 'get into trouble' anyone who looks at censored content, say, via a proxy. They just make it as difficult as possible to access.

One study suggested that even posting unallowed content might escape without censorship (let alone punishment) -- unless the posted content attracts discussion from others, and thus the algorithms make it look like you might actually be organizing.

Anyone that wants to read more theory surrounding this should read a fantastic 2006 paper called 'Out of the Tar Pit'. It's available on the "papers we love" gh repo [1] and basically covers the issue of state and how it always adds avoidable complexity (and thus how you can avoid complexity by taking an alternative route).

This is quite interesting. In my relations, I have subconsciously witnessed racial bias at play without people seemingly aware. I guess a lot of associations we make are based off things we see and not consciously decide on in a forceful way that reinforces those beliefs to us as something we stand by.

Much of it is down to nature. Minorities usually don't get preferential treatment when dealing with people who just don't relate naturally with someone they don't share natural similarities with, first-off physically.

I think it's really great that we have strong movements against racism and other forms of stigma stereotypically-related but doing away with it totally remains a job of nature...and people just being naturally different. Am I painting a gloomy-picture, I hope not. I haven't come to a good conclusion on what needs to be done to shake the associations we make in our subconscious minds that affect others unfairly.
Not the same purpose: Telegram as a SNS, Signal as a messaging app.
> Which existing languages seem to be closest to that "metre and rhyme" point in your opinion? Lisp, Forth, Perl, Rebol?

Perl can be close to this, and Larry Wall was fond of this aspect of the language, but it's also one of the most sigil-infested languages that isn't APL. APL itself stands proudly at the other end of the spectrum, for pure mathematicians.

Lisp has the problem that brackets aren't readily pronouncable and deeply-nested clauses aren't idiomatic English. Although I have noticed that programmers are far more likely to speak English with nested clauses than non-programmers.

Forth relies too heavily on the stack for my taste; ideally for me languages specify the variables they operate on by name, although an English-like language could clearly use "it" in the way that Perl uses "$_".

Rebol, like LOGO, is clearly Lisp with square brackets. Tcl is another candidate in this area that I have a soft spot for, but its reliance on string operations means it needs escape characters a lot.

Ironically I think the closest may be COBOL and its predecessor, Grace Hopper's FLOW-MATIC. These languages "correctly" end statements with a full stop "." rather than the unnatural semicolon ";" or the invisible newline. The problem is that COBOL pre-dates structured programming and object orientation by a long way. I don't think attempting to adapt them directly would be a good idea, but building something with some of the same principles might work.
Portable Lus is a great idea. By using Cosmopilitan does this also run on baremetal machines?
I mean, if a genuine journalist loses sources, we could lose evidence of corruption / abuse / fraud / government overreach / any # of evils in the world. I think journalists losing sources is a pretty serious problem.
If you're on macOS you have the choice between a native app and the QT client.

I remember a universal remote that I had on the 90s to control my small bedroom CRT TV. it has only 7 buttons, and had mute button.
Mind listing some exact vehicle make+models?

Because besides personal experience, googling the proximity keys of all of those brands shows the expected pop-out keys.

Also photos of various models from all those brands in 2020 show key holes on the driver's door, which would suggest there is in fact a key somewhere that fits it.
Well they are trying to move it from advertising based to subscription based :)
It seems strange that we've moved on from grouping and categorising people by race and sex but it's still acceptable to do so based on a few multiple choice questions.
This whole thing is especially painful/annoying since they neither support backing up the database nor syncing/importing old messages from the phone. So if this happens there's no known/reliable way to recover (even though the data is still on the phone).

(In theory it should be possible to recover from this and I can still access my sqlcipher database manually but Electron and the stateful Signal protocol make it extremely difficult so I gave up. Multiple backups of the whole ~/.config/Signal directory didn't help either.)

(See: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4513#issu... )
Gosh, did they really use really (3 times) in a sentence about the meaning of literally and not see the irony?

For anyone else missing the point "really" doesn't necessarily mean real, "truly" doesn't necessarily mean true, "actually" doesn't necessarily mean actual, they often just add intensity to what comes after them, just like "literally".
Perfect project!!! Whether it is possible to take part in this matter?
I like your dream.
Good point. I haven't really thought about this, but one problem that I see with distributing source code is avoiding that it appears on piratebay after a while, on the other hand I can understand that it's a must for some developers.

Could sources be sold as an additional feature? I'm thinking of having two versions, binary and source which would cost like 3x as much. What do you think?
I was actually in the process of building a service like this, but the kicker on this model is of course the hardware. No matter who keeps the hardware on their inventory, it's not a negligible cost, especially when you account for maintenance, replacement, all of that.

I started working on this project because I work as a waiter. And because of that background, I think that this concept a little risky. There are too many old-school types who won't dig this. But there are a TON of young folks who love to interact with anything touchscreen-y.

But the real value in this system is of course the data. This could be a huge "Voice of the Customer" platform because it can do what other VoC vendors cannot do: provide a high response rate for customer feedback attempts. Receipt surveys, e-mail surveys and all the rest are terrible at getting an accurate readout of customer sentiment.

If this company is smart about the kind of database it keeps (creating a customer profile across different restaurants/ retail locations) it could be a tremendously powerful. These devices could be used in so many other locations for feedback. Restaurants are just the gateway.

Oh, and if anyone from E la Carte is reading, I'm available for a summer internship. :-)
A couple of questions

1. Do you make $3-6K from writing to other blogs or from your blogs? Compete tell me that you aren't far from my little Qr Code generator (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/math-blog.com+programmingze...) that doesn't generate even $50/month.

2. Does your wife work? Because I think $6K, coupled with some freelancing in the side can make the cut in Toronto, no?
> Men-with-guns haven't brought down p2p file sharing yet.

But they have brought down or kept down every single digital currency to date, save for those that were merely scams to begin with.

P2P file sharing is not perceived as a threat to the revenue model of government, and is not especially attractive to mobsters and scammers. P2P currencies are.
One less to compete against... :)

I know Scala, Cassandra and Hadoop, execute across all of the SDLC, as well as just flat out code, and available I might add. Telecommute only.
You should just use Gravatar.
Another vote for Gatsby here. If the OP does js he should look no further. Although it all depends on what language he is most comfortable with.
If you program C++ give it a shot. For all other languages stay far from it.
In Neo4J, every node and every edge can have a label and a set of key-value pairs. A label maps very naturally to a class, and its keys map very naturally to fields of that class. Thus, ORM (ehh, OGM really?) makes a lot of sense.
> In my experience, the main cost to adopting F/OSS for office software is interoperability with people sending word and excel files, not support or training.

Couldn't this be handled with WINE or a virtualizer to run Word and Excel?

> Note, LibreOffice is available in the native language of the users, Valencian, and has spell-check dictionaries for that language. Presumably, the Valencian government puts out most communication in Valencian, so there may actually be savings in not having to develop and maintain their own Valencian dictionary for Office, which Microsoft does not provide, and reduced support as the interface uses terms more familiar to the native Valencian speakers.

If they're already in the position of having specialists do translation, or having an entire office that's somewhat bilingual on the computer, running Word and Excel virtualized might not be such a burden comparatively speaking.
Please don't compare the OMAP5 to the dm3730.
While the OMAP 5 is not the latest and greatest it's still a modern SOC.

We are still talking about a SOC with a dual core CPU, a modern GPU and LPDDR2/DDR3 support.
The dm3730 has a weak CPU, supports slow and outdated RAM, and a GPU which will not be able to support modern multimedia.

Also Open Pandora is meant to be a dedicated platform for emulating (very) old games. Not a general purpose modern mobile computing platform.
For it's purposes the OMAP5 SOC they've selected is probably an overkill and most of the flak they got for it was from people wanting to use their "console" as a general purpose computing device...
Likely. Ideally with code tutorials/examples rather than "me and my friends changed X to Haskell and we liked it".

I mean, it's not I am anti-Haskell or something (it is clearly on my list things to learn), and I am theoretically-inclined (I did quantum physics and pure mathematics). Moreover, I am biased towards clever, succinct solutions rather that horrible code that "just works, somehow".

Yet, for practical problems I do things that work, even if it is JavaScript code, which is not even close to "pure" or "nice".
Distributing the software is probably illegal under the Computer Misuse Act here in the UK.
> A great example of this would be how he recently co-authored a fictional book about a "female gamer". I mean... comon...

This is so misleading that it could simply be called "wrong." The recently released graphic novel In Real Life is an adaptation of "Anda's Game", which Doctorow wrote in 2004. This far, far predates the issue you claim he co-opted.
No, it's about control of your browser.

In standard HTML a server sends you some text bits and data streams and your browser chooses what it wants to do with them. Save them, display them on the screen, ignore them, etc. With DRM the browser has to be specifically engineered to do not what you want it to do, but what the person sending the data wants it to do. This is almost always done inside of some kind of 'black box of digital magic', be it software or hardware. If you had control or insight of the black box it is likely you could subvert control of the encrypted media.

Now I won't say that it directly enables control over your browser any more so than Flash does (Only 76 CVE's in 2014), but every black box is a point of attack for hackers.
So it's all a conspiracy?
"logging to CLI" I'm surprised it took this long. Getting HAProxy logs from docker has been a pain since you needed a volume mount and needed to export logs via a custom location, or you could go the hacky way and run a script that runs haproxy in the background and instead tails the log file.
I'm not sure this particular treatment would actually do anything, since it acts against a genetic mutation causing dwarfism, but I'm not a doctor. Anyways rich parents are already doing things like this, and we haven't even hit the inflection point with CRISPR on the horizon. Assuming my hypothetical son wanted it, I would try to provide it. Humans are biased and tall men command unearned respect simply because of stature. It's not fair but it's also irrefutable.
> As I understand it, we're having a very difficult time finding people.

Another possibility is that they don't have enough money to hire another developer, but don't want to admit it to you. Start-up life can be harsh.

Don't burn yourself out. I can tell you from experience that it gets harder and harder to come back from burnout each time it happens. If your workload is ridiculous, it may be talk to your boss about adjusting timelines/expectations to something more realistic, or even time to start looking for another job.
The Three Fifths Compromise had nothing to do with the Electoral College. Slave states gained more power in the Electoral College from the extra 3/5 votes, but a) the compromise itself had nothing to do with the Electoral College's creation or design, and b) 3/5 of a vote gave less power to slave states than their preference, a full vote for each slave.
There is no requirement of a separate grill, BK can use a microwave and/or advertise that while the impossible Burger contains 0% beef, it is cooked on equipment that also cooks beef (just like we do with peanut allergy warnings.)
One thing I found using Anki for studying Chinese (for 1 1/2 years now) is that it's much better to limit the reviews you do each day in order to get new words in.

First, because it will help you a lot in the long run if you learn many words poorly than a few words really well, ie. if you kind of know 200 words vs knowing 50 words really well, you are much more likely to be able to read a piece of text.

Second, some words will stick in your memory easily and some won't. By “throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks” at a greater rate you will end up knowing more words.
I agree, but I would probably do it anyway if I were mitigating someones concerns. It could be a layer on top of the standard ciphers / protocols. I certainly would not do this for end-user comms. For B2B if you control both ends, maybe its a risk worth taking. Each entity would have to weigh the risks.
I don't want to come off as combative, but I would argue that a correction would add quite a bit to the post. What you have is straight-up incorrect and wouldn't even take that much effort to fix. "For a computer to store the decimal representation a number that repeats forever would require an infinite amount of memory, so the number is approximated" would be correct and it's just a couple words more.
We don't think you're a shithead. We just think you don't understand basic economics like the relationship between supply and demand. And that's nothing to be ashamed of, many engineers are ignorant about economics. If you'd like to improve your skills in that area your local community college has courses available.
I was going to ask about this. They already have a veggie burger here which (to my knowledge) isn't cooked with the meat patties. Why would you cook an otherwise-meat-free burger with the meat patties?
The body is 50% post consumer recycled aluminum. We did consider magnesium alloy, but availability of recycled material, infrastructure for recycling, and costs are all prohibitive compared to aluminum.
> You said I since I didn't agree with you I must not be politically astute

No, I did not. If you can't be bothered to keep track of whom you're talking to, I'm done with you.
For me personally, my belief in bitcoin is not tied to its monetary value at all. In fact, it's likely inversely related, as the more that it gains value, the more publicity it gets as a money-maker, which draws in more speculators.

I'm overall "just fine" with Ethereum though. There's a lot of speculation going on, but it's also a rather productive idea that I hope takes off in the future.

I'm a fan of cryptocurrency in general, just not really Bitcoin.

edit: Thinking about your question though, maybe it could be interpreted as "if the market cap/price of BTC was more stable, would you like it?" and the answer to that is yes, however still I don't believe that it provides much utility compared to other cryptocurrencies.
What is the plan for network bridging? Tuntaposx isn't an option anymore and Apple has plans to ban all kexts.
For some workloads, it's also much faster for similar money.

I looked into migrating my app to Azure, to get similar performance to what I have in DO was over 3x the monthly cost. Worked with Azure support to benchmark and try and come up with a plan to migrate, and the support rep ended by saying essentially "don't think we can get close to your current performance for near that price".

It's not cut and dry.
> Zwarte Piet is basically Santa's little helper, as they exist in many traditions.

Why is a Moor from pre-Reconquista Spain Santa's little helper?
I mean, no disagreements that unregulated markets can turn out disastrously (and hurt ordinary people).

But regulated currencies can also turn out disastrously bad (see: Venezuela, Zimbabwe hyperinflation, Nigeria, Argentina). This hurts ordinary people too. There's an Argentinian in this very thread that's chimed in with their personal experience.

I won't pretend one approach is strictly superior to the other, nor am I suggesting that one ought to put 100% of their life savings into BTC or US T-bonds, but having options allows the ordinary person to hedge. That's the point. Optionality is good, and because BTC isn't legal tender (nor will it ever be), nobody is forced to use it anyway.
How do I scroll a page up and down with a trackpoint (on Windows and Linux)? I've tried using a trackpoint, but the two-finger swipe up and down on a trackpad is a convenience that I cannot seem to live without.
My employer has committed to the same. 3:2 onsite/remote, depending on your preference/departmental need. My boss has suggested that he'd like us to get together beginning/end of week to plan & socialize and beyond that it's our discretion. There are some folks on our team who are permanently remote who won't return to office regardless.
Perhaps I will, might be fun.
