Hey, sorry, got busy yesterday and forgot to respond to this.

Well, I work for a Hadoop distribution, so I may have some biases showing through in my setup. I like to use spark in conjunction with Hadoop; I've never actually used it stand-alone before, honestly. For relational data, I'll ingest into Hive as that allows me to pivot to the right tool for the kind of analysis that I need to do whether it be simple SQL via Hive, something more suited for Pig via HCatalog or Spark via SparkSQL. I'll often do my analysis on a Hortonworks Sandbox for small data like this.

For larger data and a more professional setting, I like to do prototyping/ad hoc investigation/etc in python with pyspark inside of jupyter. Generally that transitions either to Java or just plain python (depending on the degree to which it's difficult to transition).

Anyway, hope that helps! Happy to answer any other questions you might have too. :)
What does native even mean here? It is just making a standalone browser that will only talk to the website and whatever resources it references or somehow make it all work locally, natively?
Or do you mean 2048 mbps, which would be about 650 GB over a month?

That's like saying the only solution to teen pregnancy is total abstinence.

We already know how that one works out.
That's just bad formatting on the website.
Actually those 60% were not from a random sample.
Looks great, thanks for this.

Wonder if the executable file will work in other systems. For example if I create an app for google.com and move that app to another system, will it work? given that is the same OS.

I am really happy that you are able to quit. Nicotine as an addiction is very difficult to break and one should try every approach and see what works best for them. For those for whom 'quit your job and move somewhere' is not an option, I strongly feel that e-cig provides an alternate which is worth trying. Even if you can't quit it fully, vaping definitely is a better alternative than smoking.
Does it really affect "most people". Sure, the potential effect is there - you commit a crime and they'll check your phone records and whatever to catch you and your associates but beyond that?

Most people use their phones to talk about pretty banal things.

Not moving to 64 bit has been a pragmatic decision [1]. As for crashing, I used it for over 10 years at my previous company and it never crashed once. At my current company it only crashes when I am using the Stylevision plug-in, which is really, really, buggy.

Hi, we are building an application that do exactly what you said: Writing notes and later turn into documents. It works like Workflowy plus you can write long documents with code and Markdown format. You can share and edit these documents in realtime with others. It also has desktop and mobile apps for offline access.
You can still create custom ribbons. Screen real estate should be at slightly less premium now, so even if it's slightly worse I don't see that as a big deal.

> If they are willing to remove encryption features to please totalitarian states, what backdoors are they also willing to include?

That's a rather uncharitable interpretation. If a state was ordering them to include a backdoor in the next release, their options boil down to either 'include a backdoor' or 'shut down the service'[0]. Implying that a service that chooses the latter is more likely to also include a backdoor doesn't seem justified.

Google Maps, like most web apps, incorrectly determines my language based on IP address. I can't find a way to change it from the UI, but you can force it to English with this:

nativefier "http://maps.google.com/?hl=en"
Alternately, "ssh -D 1080 user@host" will give you a SOCKS proxy on 127.0.0.1:1080 that forwards all connections out of the remote host. No download required.

You can.

Liquids generally have a nicotine rating in mg per ml. I started with 18mg liquids, then 12, 6 and now 3mg (which is the lowest rating on most brands). I consume a little more liquid than before but it's probably due to my recent switch to 3mg from 6mg. As soon as I get used to 3mg, I'm finally gonna get some nicotine free liquids and start diluting 3mg to 2, 1 and then 0.

Most people don't do this as far as I can tell though.
One addiction replaces the other.

The catch is to replace smoking with something better.
Rule number 1: "Free" isn't.

And "Place a CDN in front of it" has been an available solution for... what, more than a decade?

If your site has meaningful traffic from multiple continents, you can spend the $10/mo it takes to add a CDN to it.
Not buying your argument.

Mac is a much more viable choice today than in the past, and I think the Mac's slowly but steadily increasing market share has something to do with the perceived reliability and stability of the platform.

I'm only basing this off of personal experience. I have Windows at work and Mac at home.
The reason I picked firebase over meteor was ember support. Ember and ember data on top of meteor would be a killer combo for me.
You're not alone on that! :)
I had originally mis-read this: I read it as a super-simple wrapper that converts web pages/apps into a native mobile app. But it seems it actually creates a desktop application. I understand the use-case: avoiding bouncing between web browser tabs, but I guess I don't see that as annoying enough. I'm sure there are other use-cases that I'm not thinking of.
In the UK there has also been the relatively recent arrival of the "upward inflection", i.e. making statements sound like questions, which may also have arrived from Australia:

"in the UK many people take it as a given that the speech pattern arrived from Australia, going so far as to dub it the Australian Question Intonation. Some laymen go even further and trace the shift in British speech patterns to the arrival of soap opera Neighbours on British television in 1986."[0]

Assuming autossh is going just rerun whatever binary ssh points to, then you likely wont need a separate binary for this. Just run

while true; do ...; done

and be done with it. The author does say that

... Some scripts use a while loop, others encourage you to run a remote command (such as tail) to make sure you don’t run into timeout and various others. But actually, you don’t want to re-invent the wheel and stick to bullet-proof already existing solutions.

but the only case where that makes sense, and where a simple while loop will fail you, is if the ssh command hangs. Only then will this start making sense.
Wow, 5 years is a long time. How much liquid do you consume? Had any chest x rays or something recently to see if it had any adverse effects on your lungs?
What would be the advantage here over committing locally and then rebasing?
Meteor has been perfect for the single page web apps I've been making as side projects. I don't know any other frameworks where I could have completed an encrypted chat application as fast and painless as I did with meteor.

All the things mentioned as "going beyond basics" seem like things that meteor was never designed for and that we have other tools to handle.

I really feel like the problem is with the people behind meteor trying to make it THE framework, instead of just being a framework that excels at a single purpose.
I know the exact reason, the IAB wanted Mark to experience how an ad is blocked. Artistic merit.
And it's not only about nicotine. Think about all the other harmful chemicals you inhale when you smoke a regular cigarette, and not when you smoke an e-cigarette. Such as tar, ammonia and arsenic.
The tragic fate of the people who stop sleeping
According to legend, the 1-second gap was patent-protected, so that's why not every manufacturer implemented it. Arguably became more of a problem after the Internet since on BBS you were mostly navigating "trusted" menus and I think BBS chat servers would even drop the string.
That's fair (re: 64-bit) and I'll amend: VS2015 should be able to handle a solution with (say) 1,000 projects without crashing. If that can be done in 32 bits, hurrah.
>> While they are promoted as a way to quit traditional cigarettes, they also are promoted as a way to get nicotine in environments where traditional cigarettes are prohibited

>> The studies included smokers who both were and were not interested in quitting, and included people as young as 15 years old.

This is key - if there is a group who are using them only because they provide a way of getting nicotine into your system where it is otherwise not allowed, then it seems likely to me that this group would be more committed to smoking than average, which may go some way to explaining these results.

Personally I found the e-cig very useful when quitting, but I used it nicotine-free because the law in Australia bars e-liquids with nicotine from being sold. You can import legally but by the time my imported e-liquid arrived I'd kicked the nicotine addiction anyway.

Having seen people get very attached to their e-cigs with nicotine, I reckon I got it right.

(--edit-- As I was using no-nic liquid, when the addiction passed and I didn't need the crutch any more, I just naturally slowed and then stopped the e-cig use without even thinking about it, after about 4 months IIRC)
But perhaps you were wearing it while murdering your neighbour. By itself it should be circumstantial evidence at best, but it could possibly help pointing the police in the right direction.

I find it curious, because only of of them produces something I use everyday - Microsoft. It's more like the "Ubiquitous One and the Take Or Leave 'Em Four."

And even Microsoft doesn't "dominate" my digital life. I think it's about the choices you make. You're choosing to be dominated. Maybe you get some benefits using those companies (Prime looks good sometimes), but you don't have to be involved with any of them.

That's not domination.
I like Signal and would like all my contacts to switch over.

True, that is a good point!
I did this a few years back, after about 9 months of vaping at decreasing nicotine levels. pretty much the day I swapped to 0 nicotine I started noticing people smoking in the street, within a couple of weeks I'd stopped vaping, and within a month I was smoking again.

Up until this point I had not realised just how ingrained my nicotine addiction was (before this I assumed I was mainly just behaviourally addicted).
Agreed. I see the same result. The search results are as I would expect. I understand there is an issue with languages and regions, maybe the OP's region is not US English. It would be interesting to see what other users' searches show from different regions.

I don't know, just anecdotal evidence of course, but I stopped smoking around 3 month ago and started vaping. I don't even want to smoke cigarettes anymore. They taste disgusting if you haven't smoked one in over a month (I ran out of liquid and tried one again, threw it away after 3 puffs, rather dealing with not having a nicotine fix for 3 hours).

While YMMV I highly doubt that e-cigarettes cause people to not quit smoking. I bet this is because of how the participants were selected. I don't know, people trying e-cigs have tried quitting before/smoked for longer/whatever thus skewing the statistics.
If some person seriously wants to dedicate their life to building something high quality and long lasting in the software world (1), they're probably interested in building and contributing to open source, open standards, open interfaces, publishing papers etc.

"Interested in" and "can get paid for" are two very different things. Microsoft have a big reliable revenue stream.

The weird thing is that there are clearly some people inside Microsoft that "get it". There's a big open push from the C#/Roslyn team. F# is pretty sophisticated. Microsoft Research are the Xerox Parc of our time: lots of great ideas few of which make it into production.

But the Win8/8.1/10 cycle has so clearly been driven by panic over tablets and phones that it's produced strange chimerical half-solutions.
It seems you have chosen a bit of an edge case. Agreed the videos shouldn't pre-load, but to take a more standard example of a simple article:

And to be fair, note that the non-AMP page has a lot more content, onward links, components, etc.
I am so happy to have left the web back into native, just about when gulp, grunt, npm, yeoman and friends were picking up steam.

It is not enough to jungle DOM libraries, CSS generation, JavaScript frameworks, browser compatibility headaches, one also needs to use the build tool of the day.
Completely agree. Comparing these numbers doesn't make sense; of course npm has more modules, but why would I care about having e.g. node's express framework available to my build tool/task runner?
I could, but that's not my goal now. I've used nicotine for about 30 years. I've quit smoking/nicotine a couple times, for a few years each time. I was so much less productive and nearly failing at my job for those years that I went back to nicotine. I'd sure like to quit, but not sure my old brain can change at this point.
I love ScrapingHub (and use them) but these tips go completely against my own experience.

Whenever I've tried to extract data like that inside Spiders I would invariably (and 50,000 URLs later) come to the realization that my .parse() ing code did not cover some weird edge case on the scraped resource and that all data extracted was now basically untrustworthy and worthless. How to re-run all that with more robust logic? Re-start from URL #1

The only solution I've found is to completely de-couple scraping from parsing. parse() captures the url, the response body, request and response headers and then runs with the loot.

Once you've secured it though, these libraries look great.

PS: If you haven't used ScrapingHub you definitely should give it a try, they let you use their awesome & finely-tuned infrastructure completely for free. One of my first spiders ran for 180,000 pages and 50,000 items extracted for $0.

From the conference notice front page: Ad blocking is the latest crisis du jour, a potentially existential threat to the industry.

I would guess you are correct. What's ironic is that adblock plus understands their value proposition and whitelists advertisers if they are not too shitty. I run Adblock plus for this very reason (as opposed to a less forgiving blocker).

Also, they just landed Larry Ellison of Oracle as a featured speaker.

I don't think this editor requires subscription?
You can skip login ("not now" or something like that at the bottom), and work with local git repos; I suspect you can also use coax it to work with private remote repos (Book -> Repository Settings... ?) without logging in, but haven't tried.

You won't get GitBook's online services but their build toolchain is fully open, can be run locally.

Aside from being proprietary, this seems a neat local markdown editor with built-in git support.
I too would prefer something FOSS and more flexible, esp. for a huge project like a book, but I can see myself recommending this to people.
simtel?
Depends on who gets to decide what object oriented means. Simula was out before Smalltalk. Most will call that the first object oriented programming language but it did not rely in message passing but rather worked similar to C++ and Java. Which isn't odd since Bjarne based C++ on his work with Simula.
Honest question: Are Chrome apps "File->Create Application Shortcuts" not available on Mac OS X?

Because on Linux you can create such apps very easily with this Chrome feature, and I'm pretty sure even cookies/history is separate from the main Chrome instance.

Or is this better/different in some way?

They helped my husband quit. He did it gradually over a period of two years, using a re-fillable e-cigarette. Every few months we would buy a few bottles of the vapor juice, stepping down the nicotine concentration each time. At the end, he used nicotine free vapor juice for quite some time. He didn't give up the e-cigarette until it finally quit working about three years ago.

I don't think using the disposable ones with the fixed nicotine content would have allowed him to quit. It was the very gradual dosage decreases that did it for him.
Great to see Scrapy getting some love. It's really well done and it scales well (used it to scape ~2m job posts from ATS & government job banks in 2-3 hours).

As for Angular, I feel like it's still too early to tell how it will end up - I loved Angular 1.X but eventually switched to React because it was much more convenient and only required minimal boilerplate. Angular 2 doesn't really make we want to switch back in its current state.

They may very well be prevented to explicitly name the what and who, but then it essentially becomes a trust issue.

If there is now one less security feature to please anonymous (for now) states, how to trust them not including other "features" on their requests? Uncharitable, and a tad paranoiac, as it may be...
Very nice. I actually grew up just down the road from you in Florence. If you're in the Myrtle Beach area, trek down to Murrells Inlet sometime. Great seafood with an inlet boardwalk connecting a bunch of the spots to the Crazy Sister marina. The inlet walk they setup down there now has bars with local bands almost every night during the summer.

I find this hard to believe. I was a smoker for a decade and I quit smoking last year only because of vapes (e-cigs).

Didn't even plan to quit smoking but I was concerned about my health so I decided to try vapes for a while. The cool thing about it is that you can control your nicotine dose, so every month I lowered it a bit. The difference was small enough that my body didn't feel it.

After a couple of months I got to 0-nicotine vape. Did that for a month and by that point my body was not addicted to it any more. Then I just stopped vaping altogether. Not because I wanted to but because my body didn't need it anymore and I couldn't care less about it.

The whole process was pretty easy. At no point did I struggle to quit. I just did what my body felt like. I'm pretty sure the story would have been totally different without e-cigs.
