I rely on Freeplane (leading fork of Freemind) to store almost all my notes and knowledge, it's really great for my purposes (better than having hundreds of text files). A diffing, web version of Freeplane would be great, because I really miss multi-client syncing and access-on-the-go features.

I'm guessing this app, while cool, won't really fill that need, since it's merely compatible with Freemind. Unless it grows into a full platform to essentially replace Freemind (which is a possible way to go).

Still, good job on building a Freemind-compatible app!

Not at all. They're akin to a first aid kit, not what you'd choose to have if you know you're going into combat, but something you can much more often have with you because of their compactness and much lighter weight. More than 10 million Americans have concealed carry licenses, with their numbers growing by more than a million a year, and we demonstrably aren't carrying them "to make assaulting another human easier", unless you'd modify that as "counter-assaulting".

In the most dire situation they're a tool in a crisis to allow you to get to your long gun.

More generally, "assault weapon" a long time ago meant things like track mounted artillery designed for offensive roles, and as noted by others was more recently coined and defined by US gun grabbers as a purely political term.

Or, as is already the case with a lot of us millenials: We have fb. Everyone we know has fb. Everyone we get to know is added to fb. There is no distinction between private life and work life. Fb is where we keep track of who we know. Fb is where we ask around if anyone knows of a company looking for a person. Fb is where we ask around if any person is looking for a company. Fb is where we group text. Fb is where we do all serious social networking.

The first thing that happens when joining a new company is that everyone sends me Fb friend requests.

That said, it looks like Slack is doing a great job of replacing email for in-office communication.

Sure rose-colored glasses is a part of it. But at the same time, you have them too. The problem here is lack of leadership and the organization is trying to solve it with management. The parable of the loggers is apt in the authors situation.

> A group of loggers is busy chopping away doing great work under the supervision of the managers and achieving high productivity and throughput. Someone from a mountain overlooking the forests notices something and shouts "hey, you down there ..." - reply: "we are busy, and making great progress" ... and the person on the mountain yells "Wrong forest!"

I would try to leave the company, checking out mentally while waiting for the right opportunity and getting behind management helping them get the rope so they can hang themselves. Because ultimetly the company is bigger than me and if I'm not happy working there just building features why would I stay? I don't want a reputation of building buggy software, because the company I work for doesn't focus on it. The company has no loyalty to me if times are tough, because thay lay me off if times are tough. So companies shouldn't expect any loyalty to stay from me either if they take decision that are against my interests.
You can compile local exploits instead of having to download them. If the machine is fully stripped enough it can be a good thing. Most of the time it's just an annoyance.

Eg. Windows boxes rarely have a compiler and get hacked all the time.

At the risk of a No True Scotsman Fallacy, No linux user uses Redhat for more than 2 years before hating everything about life, or moving on to something better (or getting paid to support the monstrosity). The company seems to thrive on PT Barnum's philosophy of a sucker being born every minute.

Poettering and Sievers are just freedesktop.org adding another layer of feces on the pile. The fact that people switch distributions to avoid his applications (NetworkManager, PulseAudio, Avahi, systemd), and the fact that someone hacked XBill to include him because he's a worse villain than Bill Gates, should put him on a level that even Ullrich Drepper couldn't touch, and everyone hated that guy.

Redhat has been a useless organization since they chose to promote Havoc Pennington over Carsten Haitzler (longer than any of you have known they exist). Blaming them does nothing to stop their slow lurch over the linux landscape. Boycotting them might, but there are too many RHCE's out there. Best to focus on FDO and Poettering/Sievers.

Thanks for the feedback! To answer your questions:
1) Currently, yes, though that is something that will definitely be implemented as we work on this further
2) Laziness there is something that we're going to look into. We need to first assess how much of an impact it has on performance - if that's big enough to warrant taking further (which it likely will be for more complex apps) then we need to figure out the best way to perform a deeper diff of the model
Good luck with the F# port - I'd be very interested to hear more!
The government has always been able to spy on people, but before the internet, it was hard, so there was a motivation for them not to waste time and resources on it without real justification. (Not to say that surveillance never happened for stupid or malicious reasons, but there was at least a practical cap.)

In the age of the internet, that protection has been lost, and the government has taken advantage of the increased ease of surveillance to try to monitor everyone, all the time. Unfortunately, there's no way to put the genie back in the bottle--we either put up with ubiquitous surveillance, or fight it; either way, the era of limited, focused surveillance is over.
You make it sound like this was some sort of heroic effort. It is (probably well paid) developers doing their job. That's it. No need for a parade.

Couldn't help but laugh out loud. Well said!
So, you concede grandparent's point that Apple's revenue from (smartphone plus tablet) hardware sales is and always has been at least 10 and probably 20 times as much as revenue from the (smartphone and tablet) App Store, but you won't retract your statement that Apple has "an incentive for [their hardware] to last" a long time "as the business model is predicated on the AppStore ultimately"?

Can you point to any statement by a leader at or spokesperson for Apple that suggests that that is Apple's long-term plan?

Apple's cost for manufacturing and delivering to a customer a new iPad or iPhone (and providing post-sale support and warranty service) is only 60 or 70% of the selling price of that iPad or iPhone -- the rest is pure profit for Apple (provided they would have been profitable without that one additional sale -- provided, that is, that revenue is enough to cover the "fixed" costs such as design and engineering). If their "marginal" cost were 99% of the selling price, then it might be different, but the way it is now, surely the more iPads and iPhones Apple sells, the more profit they make. And since that is the case, in what sense does Apple have an "incentive" to make it so that any customer replaces his iPad or iPhone less often?
It's also an automatic path conflict on any *nix system as a result.

This does look like a microscopic zone plate. This is not a new idea though, it's how we focus X-rays as most materials don't refract X-rays very well; I guess they just managed to make a really small one. I wonder in what sense it "breaks the diffraction limit".

Thanks for the honest feedback! The app IS a web frame, both on desktop an mobile. TBH it's pretty much the only way I can maintain it on 4 (and soon 5) different platforms efficiently.

I will say this: Turtl will queue encryption/decryption in background threads so it does utilize cores while doing heavy processing. As far as how it utilizes cores in the main UI, that's really up to the underlying javascript engine, which most likely will be single-threaded unless instructed otherwise.

> I'm really sorry to be quite harsh

Not harsh at all. Turtl is a start, a goal. Evernote has so many features and so many use-cases for so many people. I agree saying it's a viable alternative right now isn't entirely true, but for those who value privacy over features, Turtl is worth a look.
I've been looking at standing desks and the requirements I want from them for some time. This is a bit of a left-field choice but I actually think it serves as a solid standing desk that can be used for cycle training.

Probably because while people may not decide to buy a vehicle because of low oil prices, they may however decide not to invest in a vehicle right now if petrol/diesel prices are tending upwards.

At least that is the case among middle classes in emerging economies.

I think the OP is confusing strategic and tactical decisions by Google. On a strategic board-level view, yes Google is an ad company and reducing web page size without stripping ads is a bit disingenuous. Strategically Google will never drop ads, so the next best step for this project probably won't happen

However tactically Google benefits from paying clever people to make great products irrespective of their strategic fit - and this seems a good product.

I had never heard of it, and will build it in my pipeline RSN.
I love all the whining, sure its a great service but it is also Facebook. This was somehow expected, whoever decided to build services around it really is on their own here.
Varnish ESI Includes
Great response, thanks for taking the time to read it, I always feel really quite guilty when someone puts a lot of hard work and passion into something they care about and I feel I need to point out problems - I am constantly conflicted between not saying anything and speaking up, in this case I spoke up because I absolutely agree with the need for Evernote-like products.

Regardless of my technical opinions congratulations on launching your app publicly and I'm sure you learnt a lot along the way.

This is amazing. I spent some time staring at he gopher picture in disbelieve. 'Mindblowing' would be the fitting description.

Then I scrolled down to the samples...
Turtl stores all notes in what amounts to Chrome's IndexedDB engine (encrypted...no plaintext data is stored on disk). So it really comes down to the efficiency of IndexedDB's storage engine when translating notes to disk space.

We do utilize multiple core when encrypting/decrypting, but things like indexing and searching all take place on the same thread the app runs on.

This is something that could be improved in the future.

Yes - while working on this pack I did look into the question of copyright on the original bitmap fonts; what I found seems to indicate that the designs may not be copyrightable as such (e.g.: http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?p=164817#p164817), although I'd still rather err on the side of caution, hence the disclaimer at the end of the readme. If they were copyrightable, I imagine that IBM would've sued graphics card manufacturers left and right - from Hercules (which ripped the IBM MDA font bit-for-bit) to the multitudes of VGA clone manufacturers who also used IBM's fonts.

BTW, just to correct one of the above comments: a few of my own versions did involve some redrawing/original design (specifically the extended 'PxPlus' unicode variants, and the BIOS-only fonts which originally included only the lower 128 ASCII characters). Although of course this has no bearing on any copyright (or lack thereof) on the originals.

At any rate, sure - I encourage you to use these fonts in your projects, and thanks for the comments!
That may seem to be true, that a company being pro-female brings it better media exposure, which is also something libertarians like to promote (i.e. let everyone hire/sell to whomever they want, discriminate however they want, and let the market decide who wins). But I have a feeling that despite repeated pro-female media coverage for Yahoo, saying that it discriminates* for women, that when someone decides to search they will just go with Google because it's easier or a habit.

* = just in terms of making a choice, not a negative meaning.
Not from what I've seen, after hosting a bunch of NodeJS based web-apps I can tell you it doesn't perform well on the server-side or on the desktop. It's a decent rapid prototyping language / tool - but it's taking what should (or perhaps shouldn't) be in a web browser, wrapping it up and hosting it somewhere that the designers of products often don't know much about the landscape.
ReactOS has such a version of the VGA font, UniVGA16: https://github.com/mirror/reactos/blob/master/reactos/media/...
Exactly. It is actually sad to see Parse shutting down. I have built a few apps with Parse and they have been working well. It's true that we shouldn't rely too much on 3rd party service provider but we shouldn't ignore the bright side too.
This app has been a balance between advertising the fact that it's open source and just presenting itself as a "privacy app" without shoving it in people's faces. Maybe it should be a bit more prominent (and thanks for reading to the bottom)!

To be clear, the pricing section only applies if you connect Turtl to our hosted service. If you run your own server, the only pricing that applies is the price you pay for the server you run it on.

The market is saturated. I've bought many of my family's recent iOS devices as second hand. A generation or two old devices are still fast enough for casual use and offer great bang for the buck.
Yeah, the only way to get desktop style multi-tasking and keyboard+mouse support is one of the many Windows 8/10 tablets that are floating around, but that isn't ideal for some tablet use IMO so you have to compromise one set of needs to cover the others. It works for me though (my table has for a while been a cheap Win8 machine for which I have a stand and bluetooth input devices for when I need to use it for something that needs a keyboard).
The sad Jolla tale made me seriously ponder about making a full change to Apple. I'm currently testing how an iPad Pro might work for a 95% laptop replacement.

The font "IBM Nouveau" may be close to what you're looking for: http://www.dafont.com/nouveau-ibm.font - it's scalable and VGA-based, although still kind of angular. (I'm actually planning my own version to complement the oldschool PC font pack, but for now this might do.)
True. That part probably depends on how big are the companies you work for.

It seems very customary to add at least everyone on your direct team to Fb though.

Then get rid of JS. I doubt Turtl is married to JS, it just happens to be the greatest common denominator.
Thank you for this advice. To others: please upvote.
It's always nice to see a project bring more awareness and user-friendliness to such topics.

I'm wondering why they're on IndieGoGo though, seeing as they mentioned having a sufficient investment in the video? Looks like key-sharing is done via their app.
11. How can you refactor your application now that you modularized it so very aggressively?
Yes. Also quiet. And no incoming communication. Nothing that must be dealt with. Have that friend be the gatekeeper.

So, what if you could build your own LoRa network?
There's a new MicroPython board on Kickstarter now, a triple-network development platform which doubles up as a LoRa Nano gateway. Ideal for edge of network applications.

Here is the clever part, you can use the module to route wireless data from WiFi to LoRa (and vice versa) thus making the LoPy both a LoRa Receiver/Transmitter and a Nano gateway capable of handling up to 100 other LoRa nodes! This means you can go and create your own LoRa network for you, your friends or just your Things! No monthly bills for connectivity.

I think that people should be shielded from surveillance, and especially from surveillance by non government entities, in their everyday doings.

The Internet of Things Could Suck Under Capitalism
What is my public IP?
Do you mind explaining why? Short circuits are common, and are mitigated against. Reversed voltage is exceedingly rare, especially for USB C with mirrored contacts.
I've been really turned off by the way they have behaved lately, in particular the way they handled the push for people to adopt Windows 10. I upgraded myself (I'm a gamer, so basically just for DX12).

1) Autodownloading it to people's machines ignoring any user choice not to do so.

2) Auto-starting the the install/upgrade process without any input from the user.

3) Making user-hidden Windows 10 (and Windows 7/8 telemetry) updates available again, over and over.

4) Resetting privacy settings after Windows 10 updates

5) Refusing to clarify what is actually in Windows 10 updates,

6) And just flat out refusing to allow their users to turn off the telemetry and advertising in Windows Store apps altogether.

Every once in a while Microsoft seems to start behaving themselves and improving on their old, shitty image. Then stuff like this happens, where 'honest mistakes' that just happen to be very much in their interests occur over and over again in a short space of time over the course of the initial adoption of their new software.

I get that they stand to make a lot of money having as many people as possible on their new platform but when it comes at the cost of ignoring user choice, siphoning off their data and just not telling them what updates are doing to their systems then it's time to call bullshit.

They're completely full of it and they haven't changed at all.

I'm 100% convinced SwiftKey will become the next tool in their new user data-based business model, so I won't use it anymore. Just like I stopped using WhatsApp when Facebook acquired it.
Cars Driving Innovation in the Internet of Things
Sounds less like a fallacy and more like a strawman argument by certain types of AI proponents. First they claim that efficiency is the only thing that matters in intelligence. Then they fail to demonstrate high enough efficiency in real-life applications and resort to rhetoric to explain it all away.
It's interesting to note that, in the new 64-bit ARM ISA, they moved away from this "every instruction is conditional" design. In the new ISA, only a few branch instructions execute or not based on a condition.

At the same time, the 64-bit ISA doubled the number of registers, which probably was made possible by the instruction encoding bits freed by removing this conditional instructions feature.
Hi everyone, creator of Turtl here. It's getting late here (2:15 am) so if you ask a question or have feedback, I'll be able to get back to you in a few hours. Thanks for checking out my project!
