It came down from two sides. I kinda burned out while working on Android app and I was expecting much more users and engagement. And I didn't want to create another note taking app - idea for BP is to be one unified place for your data. And notes is only one form of casual-data. Sentiment was like this - Imagine note taking app, calendar app, task tracking app, etc. as destinations on a map. And to get to each of those destinations you need to have special vehicle for each one! So idea was to try to state than notes, calendar entries, tasks, fitness info etc. ar casual-data. And you can have one tool that gives you mechanics to aggregate and manipulate those data in one unified place. Where then you can slice, combine and get insights on your data as a whole.
And its is hard to pitch something so generic!

That is really not the point, firstly they are been underhanded by misrepresenting the fact that conversations maybe stored in a datacentre without their permission.

Secondly, as with the Snowden leaks - say the engineers at FB are well intentioned, having that data travel over the air exposes more than the user is aware.

And here is another issue that has just started to occur on a rather annoying, regular basis. Right click on the task bar, hoping to bring up a menu so you can select the task manager to kill an errant application.

Instead you get a pop up menu that display, each menu item but without any text. So you get a popup menu a few millimetres in width.

Needless to say it is a useless, unusable popup menu, but luckily a reboot does fix the issue.

We use FFmpeg in our products (open-source and closed-source software) and so fixing on-air issues caused by FFmpeg was of the highest priority.
data-driven cause I want Beyondpad to be about casual-data. And notes are only one form of casual data! Other forms could be calendar entries, task tracking. Or for example when Ill add ability for tags to work as bi-directional data adapters, you could create tag "hacker news", and under that tag, this feed would show up! If this info would be something you considered for yourself as data you are interested in.

"Elsevier did not respond to an email sent Sunday morning seeking comment."

Seeing as it is only Monday lunchtime in Europe, and currently earlier than office hours in the USA, I don't think it reasonable to expect any company to have responded to such a query sent on a Sunday morning. Consequently I assume that the reporter/writer of the article was not really interested in seeking an honest balance in their reportage.
I use an app called Commit, which reminds me each day of goals I set in it. Besides that I have a text file, in which I write periodically what my current goals are and anything I did each day towards those goals. I always have that text file open in a Sublime window. I include all kind of random little sub-observations such as useful links, stuff I learned or small little realizations next to those activities.

It's cool to be able to go back in time a few months and see what was occupying my thoughts back then. You can also search in it if you are having some problem again which you feel like you might have encountered before and often I find the answer there.

As the op said, there is no "Europe" and talking about it as if there's a single entity is, to European ears, quite ignorant. Practically the only thing Italy has in common with Poland has in common with France has in common with Holland is that they're all very generally liberal democracies. Otherwise, on the spectra of backwater-to-scifi, honest-to-corrupt, socialist-to-capitalist, religious-to-secular, nationalist-to-egalitarian, dynamic-to-sclerotic, authoritarian-to-permissive, you will find everything in every permutation, somewhere.

I get that the US is big and diverse and dynamic. But the EU is far bigger (population wise) and far more culturally / economically / politically diverse.
Metal has most of the time essentially reactionary themes. It is often obsessed with the past/mythology, "manliness", social darwinism and so on. Although there was Glam inspired Metal which wasn't obssessed with "manliness" and Thrash Metal had socialist themes — though they do exist — it is hard to find Metal bands with sci-fi/space themes and/or where technology isn't seen in some dystopian context.

I'd recommend Darchon 'The Stygian Black Beyond'.

Why are you fixating on this notion of cleanup? There's no need to "clean up" your public repos.

Even if you're making complex changes, I think GitHub is much easier to work with than the classic "patch" emails.

I frequently will randomly fork a project that I'm using and submit a minor pull request when I wouldn't hunt down their source control system, clone it locally, make changes, find their preferred email/patch system, look up the commands to create a patch file, and email the patch.

GitHub is drop dead simple:

1. Click fork.
2. Edit your fork online or clone locally, committing changes.
3. Click the "pull request" button.

the key difference is ITER is designed to be net-energy-positive, while this will generate precisely 0 W of energy, if it works (which I hope it does!)
Assuming these experiments work as desired and this reactor can produce more energy than it takes in, how long will it be (roughly) until a power plant becomes operational (i.e. connected to the grid) that uses this technology? Years, a decade, many decades?

sorry didn't see this reply. i'll copy-paste my reply http://blog.choonkeat.com/weblog/2015/10/file-uploads-2015.h... for posterity ;-)

> If you're using an image server, you still need to do...

yes and we should move towards solving issues in the image server, not yet another client gem

> File validations (most notably preventing big files)

big file upload can equally be prevented on image server as on a rails server, settings should be in the webserver fronting it.

validations are "easy" since you're only validating json attributes, but i guess as u mentioned, shrine has this benefit too.

> Storing the file to image server (this still needs a background job)

even better than background job: we always direct upload from browser/client (regardless of whether we are using s3 or not).

> Model attachment logic (all of the assignment/callback logic)

a client lib can do this for your rails app. and it isn't much https://github.com/choonkeat/a...

> One problem that I always had with on-the-fly processing is, if you have a page with a lot of photos, and you want to change the URL so that they're processed differently, how will that page look when a first person visits it? I think it will be horrible, the user will have to wait for a really long time to actually see the images, which is not nice user experience.

we can still "pregenerate" after the author uploads his images, the browser just have to make the requests (not necessarily visible) and the image servers can cache those generated images for a long long time. then when the "first other person" view the page, those images are as fast as anything.

storing the generated image or not is still an image server's decision. my own implementation chose not to store because i find those generated files more trouble to carry around.

again, these are things for different image servers to iron out and one-up each other with.

> Also, the "image server" strategy can be used only for images, so if you want to upload documents, audio or video, you'll need to use something else. What's nice about uploading gems is that they provide a general solution.

actually, there's nothing in an image server that makes it inherently image only. i'd say file servers provide as general a solution as those uploading gems

for example, attache server handles pdf uploads well and even renders the thumbnail when requested via <img src="">. the same applies for any other file types - the goal is actually to render thumbnails for everything, as per how your desktop renders the same files are thumbnails.

again, these are things for different image servers to one-up each other with.
A simple and concise blogging platform
There is plenty of dark fibre around in Australia (driven by a need to bypass monopoloy Telcos) that the bandwidth costs cited by Cloudflare have no real effect on datacenter design.

(The 'true' cost of transit in AU, ignoring Telstra is closer to the Asia region average of $30 IIRC)

I think higher energy and real estate costs in Australia have more of a bearing - it is quite possibly cheaper to 'import' bits into Australia than to store/process/etc locally (any data sovereignty issues notwithstanding)
It's actually good to have multiple independent implementations of a decoder to find inconsistencies and bugs. In fact Mozilla sponsored the work, and Google also did indirectly through GSoC.

> when I start asking really difficult questions, you will refer me to some book

I would do exactly the same if it was a really difficult technical topic. Instead of spending a week writing a 10,000 word essay for you, I'd point you to someone else who has already done it. Feel free to trawl through my comments on HN. I regularly defer to some other source of information. It's just common sense.

The comparison with theology is weird, considering that theology is based on the premise of revealed knowledge about the world. I've not invoked any such construct, so I don't see the similarities.

> It seems that you want to have world black and white

No, I don't actually. I just want to stop legitimizing coercion.

> Now that I think about it, the whole business of how libertarianism treats "property" seems kinda morally repulsive to me for a different reason. It seems to me that libertarians treat property as a kind of extension to human body, in a sense that someone losing half of their 1000-acre property forever is a comparable (or worse) crime to a homeless losing a toe to the cold. What I miss here, I think, is a certain "normal" sense of proportion (or even admission that there is a proportion).

Frankly, this is beyond the scope of my ethic.

For example, if you had read other works by the OP, you would know that there is indeed quite a bit of theory behind proportion.

Your absolutist views on property are your own. I do not share them. I don't care what system of property you invent, even if it means eradicating property altogether. But if your system needs legitimized coercion, then I would find it immoral. It's really as simple as that.

Finally, I'd also like to note that you seem to have ignored---or at least not acknowledged---my answer to your question. Namely, that being libertarian is somehow contrary to helping others. The entire point of my response was to demonstrate why this wasn't necessarily true, while acknowledging that there is plenty of room for reasonable people to disagree (because there are so many different flavors of libertarianism). The conversation has now devolved into an attempt to have me build up an entire theory of case law for you in HN comments. When I refused, I was compared with theologians. Personally, I don't find this progression of discussion to be in good faith.

I responded to your initial comment because I feel very strongly about helping others, and it always pains me to see a common misconception about libertarianism used to paint all of its adherents under some evil light. (Because I do consider refusal to help others to be a sort of evil.) I love to help others and I know plenty of other libertarians who share that zeal.

I tried to demonstrate this by pointing out the things I truly care about ("no coercion") in libertarianism and how they don't preclude helping others.

It is - a family with low average intelligence can birth occasional individuals with much higher intelligence than their average.
Considering that this is 9 years late on the build phase... I have no idea. By that fact alone I'd guess decades. But who knows where resources will flow, and what genius lies around the corner!

Personally, I'd bet on other technologies being more cost effective for power generation in the next 20 years.
"there are thousands of genes that contribute to intelligence"

And the very definition of "intelligence" is incredibly complex and slippery, which is one of the reasons why I've always found trying to summarise such a complex property into a single numerical value such a silly exercise.

I think there has pretty much always been trolls on the internet. Back in the 90s it felt like no one took the happenings on the internet all that seriously, it was a bit of a lark. Now that it's much more mainstream, it's embedded in our everyday lives and companies make a lot of money from it. So it would make sense that everyone takes it a lot more seriously and it's easier to troll people if they take you seriously.

Although not all haters are trolls of course, but it's really hard(impossible?) to tell over the internet (Poe's law), especially when you have haters, fanatics and trolls all playing each other and the only person who wins is the troll in that scenario.

Your 10 replies of claiming people should spell out their full legal names in the thread are not making anything better. In the few cases we don't already know their names, it wouldn't make you seem any bit less incompetent or hostile to know their names.

Also, you're going on the record as saying that the important thing here is not to apologize, not to fix the problem, not even to try to explain but rather to point out to people that they should sign their names in an online discussion with full names.

Grow up, step back, fix it, apologize.

J and S are emailing back and forth on a golang-nuts thread.
D enters the conversation and proposes an alternative solution.
J and S ignore D and continue their discussion.
D re-articulates their point in a different way.
J responds to D by asking them to "butt out".
S emails J privately, noting that J's reaction was uncalled-for, and suggests that J apologize to D.
J replies that they have nothing to apologize for.
S reports the incident to the CoC Working Group.
T, a member of the working group, contacts J and S separately to get details on the incident.
T asks J to apologize for being unwelcoming and exclusive, and notifies S that this action was taken.
J acknowledges their mistake and apologizes to D.
The issue is resolved.

This is wrong comparison.

Wendelstein 7-X is small early experimental reactor for testing stellator geometry for reactor. Research questions are similar to where JET (the largest working tokamak today) was 30 years ago. Stellator is more complex design but promises inherently stable containment.

ITER is solving different questions. ITER solves engineering problems for full-scale electricity-producing reactor that would be practical to build and operate. JET studied containment in Tokamaks. ITER is the last step before first industrial fusion reactor design DEMO (Demonstration Power Plant).

There is also lots of technical overlap of course. Vacuum vessels, cooling, magnets, breeder blankets, etc. ITER is developing these for industrial-scale reactor, even for stellator.

It's not yet designed to produce net energy – it can't handle the necessary (radioactive) tritium fuel.

Assuming it works as intended, the next step would be a research reactor that can, that would be a pilot project to generate net energy which could be connected to the grid (probably more for symbolic reasons at that point…) and breed tritium for further reactors.

Then we can start to plan building actual power plants. So, few decades, as always.
