> why I'm a slow reader

I can glance over text quite quickly to understand what it's saying, but can only "read" it is as fast as the voice can talk.

Typing prose is the same, even if I type text without looking at the screen the voice still speaks to me and I can only type as fast as it speaks.
Hi,
Thanks for making this, it looks useful!
Just a note to say I think the search function needs to be a little more comprehensive.

For example, if I search 'star wars' it tells me the 2008 movie is available on Netflix (but ignores the others in the series).
It picks 'the Simpsons' up as the Simpsons movie but doesn't talk to series and doesn't recognise 'game of thrones' or 'always sunny in Philadelphia' (although maybe they aren't available?)
- either way; perhaps including the itunes store would be useful (I know they have GoT about the same as release date, so you can basically stream legally by buying per episode or season)

Otherwise the site looks very functional and clean, well done!
My experience with AWS has been exactly this. I had a Cognito question/issue on IOS that I posted to stack-overflow and got a quick response from an engineer at Amazon. Also I posted a support ticket (zero paid support) to increase my sns API calls limit (which didn't end up being required because I was doing it wrong) and they got back to me over a few days to a week.

On the other hand, Google takes my Android app off the play store with next to zero details on the reason why and I have next to zero methods to contact them. The only way I was able to get my app back was to remove features via trial and error to determine what part was infringing. Why would i partner with Google again for hosting?
You just have to put a sin tax on it like we do with (for example) cigarettes.
>Edit: Some commenters mentioned SmartGit and GitKraken. Anyone here actually use them?

GitKraken took like 400+ mB on my Mac. That's quite insane for such a simple application.
That is a ridiculous and misleading argument and Bill Gates should be ashamed of having made it.

The difference is that ribbon isn't hard to cut and so the bank wouldn't have to develop a whole new type of scissors to cut it and doing so doesn't weaken the security of a bunch of other bank records secured with similar ribbon.
I agree that WP has certainly made it easier to do these kinds of things, but I still think it's a classic case of using the wrong tool for the wrong job. There is a whole lot of different "eco system" of features in there that you don't use. What is worse, these unused features (or plugins that add multiple features) that you don't care about are potential attack vectors, but I've made this off-topic enough. So, I'll drop it.
It's 'truly logic-less' but with functions and components...
A single person can obviously maintain multiple profiles. Sending some text messages to a fake partner isn't exactly a full time job.
I'm personally staying in version 2.0 [1]. I use SourceTree exclusively for reading the commit log and exploring the branches in a repo, and all these graphical changes just make it harder to read (no color coded rows, more subtle colors...). It just seems more "artsy", not more usable.

<insert funny joke about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies not being positive>

"Piracy" is a negative term for "sharing of media". I don't see how sharing books between friends is a bad thing. Why is sharing music and movies suddenly "evil"?

Zesty is hiring great developers
I would agree. For most things, I don't find it very useful. Maybe if you're trying to learn how to use a tool, it can be worth sitting in, but for the plain mechanical tasks of coding, it's a waste of at least one person's time. If you're debugging something, you have to work at quarter speed or less - worse, if you've actually invested the effort to learn how to use your tools efficiently - as you'll be bouncing around too fast for anybody without a telepathic link to keep up with.

Bull sessions waiting for those slow-as-death Keurig machines everybody has replaced their good old drip pots with to finish making a tiny cup of coffee are just as good a use of your time, really.

My comment above yours specifically mentioned Paris. The one I was replying to initially didn't mention any city, and implied no work-related travel is better than any, full stop.

Where are you getting Oklahoma City from? You're moving the goalposts.
Saying 'if you are then I am obliged to have you taken to a psych ward' is incredibly threatening to people who need that supervision and can drive them to lie. This is why they ask the way they do.
"Switched to Gitup" + "3 months ago"
Yes, I had the same thought. Removing logic from templates all-together would hamper development, IMO. You need some basic level of logic to get by.
Software is math without proofs :)
I used to work in the phone industry. If you're allowing users to message each other you need human moderators, otherwise you'll get death threats and bizarre fantasies carefully worded to get around any automated filter. If you're going to pay a human to read every message you might as well pay them to write them, it takes a similar amount of time and usually means better service.
Is it meant to show multiple results ?

I searched 'Love' which is a big new Netflix series and it only showed 'American Pie'.
Competition is great until you find yourself standing in the middle of a bazaar with no clue what the fuck is going on, how you got there, or where you're going to go next.
No they're exercising their duty of care with valid reason to believe it's the right course of action.
Scala implementation of Peter Norvig's spellchecker
When stuck in a procrastinating loop, I can almost feel the word bounce on my visual cortex. They're just packs of glyphs. Like a full queue, I have to carefully wait for more "room" occur and then swallow a few words, so on and so forth. And after a few runs likes this, all of a sudden my brain starts crunching again and I can run through a paragraph in logic-mode. It activates blood flow in deeper parts of my brain (a recent reduced cardio vascular capacity , "make me feel" where blood is going). It's also very emotionally linked. Whenever something valuable happens to me I don't struggle to get into the nice state.
I think that we as a society (though I am not American) should decide first whether we think backdoors for court orders are worth the risk at all.

Let's be honest with ourselves, the chance to be killed by terrorists is minuscule compared to other factors that are under human control (air pollution, traffic incidents, homicides).

If you are looking at non-terrorist criminal activity, one has to wonder if you don't have more serious problems than unlocking a bunch of iPhones when your homicide rates[1] or traffic-related deaths[2] are higher than nearly any other Western country.

Terrorism and crime are just easy distractions to get more power.

I was a bit suspicious when I read the email they sent, mentioning a new team:

"We've put a brand new team in place. We’re firing on all cylinders and are hard at work resolving your biggest pain points. Update to the latest SourceTree to get all the awesomeness."
On learning JS
I always find myself wondering this as well. The only way I can think of is they decide to hire thousands of mediocre employees and churn the money away with rewrites and busywork.
yes, the colors gone made it unusable for me ...

THey have made a new release which brings back some, and it's better.

But it is still horribly buggy. I'm really looking after another client, but I don't really find something I like such as ye olde sourcetree :-/
"First world problems" is also unkind, you're dismissing someone else's feelings because you personally don't have the same problem.

The guy started a company in 1998, I'm guessing he's not what you call young.
The lack of colours in the logs makes everything pretty hard to read
Sorry, didn't mean atomic.

Was intending to say that calls are never considered to be instantaneous from either user or sys point of view, they always have duration.

Latency on the other hand is almost always about scheduling, whether OS-level scheduling or hardware (ISR) scheduling.

Another case; network latency is the time between a packet being sent and it being received.... not the time taken to process that packet.
That is a direct analogy to what we're talking about here.

I'm an iOS Developer working on a project that uses Fabric ad I -absolutely- hate it. Maybe something is wrong with our integration, but I hate the fact that any run of the XCode build runs the Fabric Mac app and you HAVE to have it running, or else your XCode build fails. This doesn't help when your Fabric app crashes sometimes or isn't seen by Xcode for some reason, so every now and then my Chrome browser will just re-direct me to Fabric's website to download the SDK and I'll have about 20 tabs open before force quitting & relauncing the app. I like the idea of housing a lot of useful dev tools together, but hate having such a large overhead around it to do so.
While this is interesting work, I would say it's going into the wrong direction. It is simplifying the devices at the cost of less efficient use of the already crowded radio spectrum (the plugged-in device must transmit the carrier wave and the reflections from passive devices consume twice the spectrum due to mirror frequencies) Everyone else is going the other way: complicating devices to achieve higher spectrum efficiency. This approach might be sustainable for spy agencies, but I don't see how it could scale to mass deployment (especially with device densities predicted by IoT pundits these days).
It was a while ago, so I can't remember exactly. It was either that the option didn't exist at that point, or the pain of using the built-in editor was offset by something else, like the ability to debug or syntax highlighting or autocompletion.
Atlassian is currently hellbent on getting all their products "integrated" from an account perspective -- so they can "provide a better experience", which likely translates to "will require monthly subscriptions everywhere".

When I read a fiction book I hear a general main narration voice, usually my own but it could be someone else if I know the author was American for example. Then I also hear accents for all the characters in the book, for example many of the characters in the book I'm reading atm are Scottish, and they all have Scottish accents and the women have women's voices while the men have men's.

To those who do not hear an inner voice: I'm really struggling to imagine how the information gets in, how are you actually aware of the information ?

Really, I think Hiccup is the best solution in this space.

Prefer logic-less functions to output html strings? Hiccup has this use case covered. This is all stock Clojure[script], not a templating language:

(def foo [:h2 "something cool"])
(hiccup.core/html foo) ;;=> "<h2>something cool</h2>"

Plus there's plenty of ways to quickly build up a bootstrap (, etc) page.

(defn bootstrap-page [hiccup-form]
(hiccup.page/html5
(hiccup.page/include-js "link-to-jquery.js"
"link-to-bootstrap.js")
(hiccup.page/include-css "link-to-bootstrap.css")
hiccup-form))

BTW, there are some interactive examples at http://hiccup.space
For me, it also hangs each time I have to resolve a conflict (I use an external tool for resolution, don't know if it's the reason)
Even just reverse proxy in front (written in C++, naturally) would have probably saved the situation.
>I suspect we'll ultimately wind up with mainstream device manufacturers maintaining some kind of per-device master key that they turn over when ordered.

It will be impossible to secure that database. Any number and size of bribes would be worth spreading around to gain a dump of it. Once I have a dump, you're up shit creek because you're faced with changing every key of every device you've ever sold to resecure them. However, any key changing mechanism you create is an exploitation vector criminals can use to randomly scramble their "master key" and not report the new one to you, and again, any certs you use to secure this process will become v cost effective to bribe for. So we're left with a situation where one breach screws everyone and it hurts legitimate users way more than the criminals it is targeted at.

Back doors are back doors man. Anyone can use the door handle, once it exists.

I agree with you but here "hurt yourself" is a euphemism for "are you having thoughts of suicide? Do you plan to kill (or try to kill) yourself?"

I have no idea if OP had those thoughts or not, but it doesn't sound like it.
Pricing is more than reasonable. If you add a backup into the UCP, it will be a steal.
I think you're right. And I would add that part of the challenge is not just the technology, but the cost as well.

You don't just need a robot that can make up a room as good as a human does it, it also needs to be cheaper than that human to "hire".
Anyone read "The Industries of the Future" by Alec Ross?
He talks about the technologies of the future, the technologies who will become an integral part of our lives in the next 20 years.

The first episode in the book is about robotics.
I really urge everyone to read that book.

This Boston Dynamics video gives me serious Terminator vibes.
In reality, from an Economics stand point, I'm really curious and afraid to discover how will this affect the lives of millions and millions of workers world-wide who will lose their jobs to Robot.
How can they stand at the right side of a technology revolution they know nothing about?

What do you think?
Bot talks to Bot talking to bot thinking bot is not bot but is actually bot. Bot is also talking to bot thinking it is not bot but is actually bot. Both bots find out Bot is bot but not bot. Both Bots bot. The net Bot is bot net. Bot-ception.

Apple vs. FBI: “Just This Once”?
Well, I may have used that word mistakenly. I meant "source of the problem". If that's an insult, then there are no other in my comments, I do actively refrain from insulting both online and in person. As for criticism, yes, my comment is a criticism, and tries to be a constructive one. I spot the problem, I suggest a solution, I may well be mistaken, but there are no insults. And I comment on the situation, not ad hominem.

Man Group 2015 Profit Drops to $400M, Missing Estimates
Sorry, but personal accounting shouldn't need a guide. Everyone writing personal accounting software seems to nerd off on accounting stuff making it unusable. You should nerd off on other stuff instead: photographing receipts would be an awesome way to data entry for instance.
A lot of people (most people?) seem to have that built into their BIOS. Or at least the most basic functionality needed to do that. That's not to imply they all like those situations, just that they don't freeze up and experience the human equivalent of a BSOD when confronted by one.
If people used it properly, it wouldn't really be an issue.

Exactly — but for all practical measures, it does not differ if they release it in the patent, or only when the patent runs out.

Currently, they don't release it at all.

Additional regulation I'd like to see: Any neural networks trained based on data of users have to be completely public domain. If Google wishes to train recaptcha, they should either pay for people to train it, or give back to the public the value that the public created.
I miss the shitty machinery of win9x days[1]. The weird part is that I was deep into CGI, and compositors made so much sense to allow for all kind of graphical operations; yet.. I miss the refreshed icons, blinking cursor .. as if I was one to one with that simple machine.

That's very subjective, I'm in a minimalist passeist phase.

To echo the other commentators, another way to think about this is: a seed stage company like this is worth ~$0 if the investor owned 100%. But it's worth $X million, if the investor only owns 20%; the "team commitment" factor being a multiplier on the total valuation that has an inverse relationship with the investor's ownership percentage.

This to me is the sticking point. The biggest benefit to society for patents is: you get the formula (but can only use it once the patent expires). I would imagine that no one short of lawyers has ever bothered to read expired software patents. They are literal drivel and until they are useful to have disclosed, they should probably not be patentable, in my opinion.
The discussion about encryption is getting completely out of context, like 'encryption' is something magical.

We're talking about cracking a 4 digit access code of a phone, which is extremely easy. Apple knows this, that's why they set a digital booby trap which fires after 10 tries.

So the real discussion should be, "Can the government force a company who placed a booby trap, to remove that same trap if needed?"

Whether this is a digital trap, of a bomb placed on a doorknob is not important.
I have an inner monologue when thinking and I hear an inner voice when reading (sometimes several if there are several characters in a text).

The voices differ. When reading something from a friend I will hear their voice, my own when reading my own, and my brain will try to create a auditory context if its by an unknown author. For example, Hacker News covers a lot of news from Silicon Valley/San Francisco so reading the comments here I mostly hear an American voice with an Californian accent, mixed together with my own voice.

My brain pairs this together with inner images. So if I read a book about exploding stars, for example, I will hear an inner voice narrating the topic while also seeing images of the things being explained. These voices and images are very weak compared to the real thing though. My inner voices lack clarity and my inner images have no color.

Obviously this is not great for my reading speed. I did a test a while ago and according to that test my reading speed was compared to that of a 5th grader, with high memory retention of general concepts and average memory retention of specific details. I read for several hours every day.

As for numbers, when doing maths in my head, I do it visually. I see the numbers as images. What is strange though, compared to other things I imagine, is that results to math problems manifest themselves as a gut feeling rather than as the logical result from a chain of continuous inner dialogues and imagery. If I try to calculate 5*5 I get a gut feeling to answer 25, often faster than I consciously understand how I arrived at the answer.

Needless to so say I have a very strong imagination, sometimes so strong that I stop paying attention to the real world for a little while.

And on the other hand we have ten thousands of people directly dying slow deaths due to nuclear power — the leukemia regions in the Elbmarsch, or in southern Bavaria, or around the Asse II come to mind.

Areas where nuclear waste or faulty reactors contaminated tap water, and people were never told about it until the leukemia rate reached several hundred times of the normal rate.

Just counting direct deaths is misleading.
