Interesting solution but can't it be achieved with the object-fit CSS property?

Using `object-fit: cover` will make the video resize maintaining its aspect ratio and filling its entire box.

Nice to see someone with an ounce of empathy on this site.
I agree that this is not a good example of simplicity vs ease, but I think his core argument is still correct about what Rails is. (Whether you or I may like/dislike "What Rails Is" is, of course, another matter.)
Nobody is going to view the footage unless there is an incident.

Your argument generalizes to "The lack of any feature that can be worked around is an inconvenience", which, okay, but it's not a very useful statement. By that definition, lots of really important things are inconveniences.

Thanks for correcting the poster. The US traditionally was very isolationist. After world war one we became more involved in international affairs, and dominant after ww2. We're in an odd time. in the mid 20th century lots and lots of americans had been around the world, because of the wars. But those generations have almost died off. Very few americans have first hand experience with other cultures. I think the general population avoids thinking about other cultures.

Please don't take it personally. It's ignorance. Perceptions are built around these weird media effects from the news. Treat us like puppies or children. it's not malice, we just don't know any better.

This should come at no surprise, although I don't see anyone criticizing Rails anywhere.

I've never written a line of Ruby, but trying to read Rails code evokes me all this: it seems like a framework created with the sole purpose of hiding everything possible from the programmer.
Good place for a radio telescope though. And you can probably sell observation of known radio sources to the Russians and Chinese for a bit of money; I imagine it is useful for something to know the site properties of a NSA listening station.

1. TLS 1.2 is also vulnerable to the lucky thirteen attack.

2. The lucky thirteen attack requires CBC-mode.. which is also what generates the obsolete crypto warning in chrome.

The solution here is clearly to disable CBC-mode.

Thanks, I can certainly help people with questions if they need help in writing a Python wrapper. I think that would be a good solution but it would need to integrate seamlessly with the rest of their app. Posting on GitHub would be a good start in this, or Gitter.

Which is odd, because I personally have not found any of the Snowden publications off topic or unnecessary. When I press these people about what they think shouldn't have been published, they always give me vague answers about "military secrets" and the like without citing anything specific.

The point I made is that this is all happening in your ORM layer, in ActiveRecord these concerns are not separated. Recent addition of Attributes API at least isolated coercion logic, but it's still part of the ORM, which for me is a mistake.
Another Rails is good/bad post. Just like the rest....
The other way to look at Rails is that, as a framework, it has made a decision to have the model carry most of the weight for domain logic. In a "fat model skinny controller" framework, you're not surprised to see single lines of "magical" code like this in the controller, any more than you're surprised that each line of the route table masks thousands of lines of code that execute when a URL is matched.

This is very much not Merb's design. But that doesn't make it an invalid design; it just means that understanding a Rails app might best start with the models, not the controllers.

(There's a lot not to like about Rails! It's been years since I worked in it full time and I don't miss it.)
Any homebrew formula?
> This feels like the core of the argument of the whole post. It does not seem correct. In isolation, the call to User#create seems magical. But there's not enough context here to criticize it. We don't know enough to say whether there's inadequate separation of concerns.

There's enough context for me to start putting up the horns and cheering, because AR is one of the more persistent boils on my ass when I'm building things in Ruby (because I use Ruby for Ruby, rather than Rails, my frontends are all JavaScript and my services are all Grape). His last point is sufficient to me to demonstrate inadequate separation of concerns--the better design is the one that doesn't require an active database connection to know what fields the object has in it. Answering "how do I build an SOA without every service having a line to every database?" inevitably becomes "don't use ActiveRecord, ever".

What solnic has done with Virtus (which I use in all my projects, it's awesome, he's one of my favorite current Ruby people because of it and I'm sad that he may be leaving) is to return to the novel notion that an object knows what's in it. Dumb data objects are in almost every case a better long-term strategy, and solnic's frustration, if not expressed perfectly, is one that inevitably burns even Rails projects that grow to scale. And while this is a single example of Rails's monolithic nature choking out a lot of the Ruby ecosystem, it's not the only one (see his comments on ActiveSupport).

I can't think of any serious competitor to Adobe After Effects. There are many apps that partially overlap e.g. Fusion, or 3D apps like Cinema 4D. Apple's Motion 5 (the latest version) was released in 2011 and is not considered a serious competitor.

Another example is InDesign. There are other DTP apps available, but for professional publication design, InDesign is the leading DTP program.

What Adobe has is "mindshare" amongst designers (and a wealth of tutorials, brushes, scripts, plugins, presets etc).

But there are encouraging signs that some users are considering alternatives. Sketch (Mac only) is a suitable alternative to Illustrator for many (if not all) tasks. So is Affinity Designer (Mac only too, but a Windows version is in the works). Affinity Photo (Mac only again) is an alternative to Photoshop.

Plus, there are actually a wide number of digital painting apps for both Windows and Mac (e.g. Painter, Clip Studio, ArtRage, SketchBook Pro etc).

Like other posters have said, there is plenty of scope for new desktop apps to rival old established apps. So much existing software has poor UX. If you can develop a better UI and a better or easier method of accomplishing tasks, people will take an interest. Both Sketch and Affinity Designer/Photo have enjoyed a swell of enthusiastic users who champion those programs. Much of their success is precisely because they offer a different/quicker/easier/more comfortable way of performing tasks than the clunky, cumbersome UIs of their Adobe rivals.

I'd hate to think that someone would give up on a desktop app because they think the desktop space is too established or settled. You might not topple your rivals, but you can certainly carve out a profitable niche.
Rails developers are spending more time fighting Rails these days than improving it. I have the feeling that good coders have left the ROR ship and that Rails is now the framework for code-schools and learn-to-code bootcamps. It's a bit sad, but as long as Rails is tied to Basecamp I don't see any solutions.

The author is right, competition is important, the Rails/Merb scenario is the open-source version of Microsoft E.E.E

I can't quite agree with that.

The Net felt like a public space long before advertising existed on the Net.

It is still also true though that people have an illusion of ownership over their emails in their Gmail accounts. That's why I switched away from them.

I think there does exist a role for truly public entities on the Net e.g. Estonia's attempts but I also don't believe a normal government is capable of providing these.

Can you take seriously an entity that can be swayed by Momsnet?

> that doesn't make it an invalid design

In 2016, with systems regularly decomposing into services for both perf and code management purposes, I'm trying really hard to find a reason to say this isn't an invalid approach except for what amount to toy problems (the kind where "if you don't know where you're trying to go, any road will get you there"). ActiveRecord being a mudball of "what X is" and "how to get X" is a really, really big problem, and my view of it as an observer--heavy in Ruby, heavy in avoiding Rails at all costs--is that it seems to be sourced from an unwillingness of the Rails community to consider that not everything is Rails. Services become intractable, as I note in my reply to your first post--and I don't even mean "microservice all the things", just the profoundly unsexy and unbloggable "SOA".
The wifi appears to be pretty expensive but maybe it can be worked into a budget. I understand that the limitation at the time appealed to the author, but a lot of teams are very collaborative and a remote worker would need unlimited access.
There are no docs. I'm not a qcow2 expert, what I know is very basic so anything I say about qcow2 can be very wrong.

So qcow has a read only base image that gets updated when we change things. The image format just had the changes from the original image. So you update a package, it adds some metadata to point at the new stuff and adds the data in and you are done.

So with btrfs you have this image on top of btrfs, so you update a file and its metadata inside the image. Say you start with a pristine image that's in nice big extents. You update a package which changes small chunks all over the file. Let's say you update 12 4K extents. So now instead of one extent you now have 36 extents. This affects everything, fsyncs take longer because there's more extents we have to write out, the space is more fragmented so cold cache reads are more expensive, the csums are no longer contiguous so they also take up a larger more fragmented area. It has this really terrible cascading effect.
That is not a good argument. That is an asshole invasion of user privacy.

Agreed, though, I'd say they act like that because they answer to the higher ups in the organisations they're apart of, and aren't properly independent. Thus there is no self-interested incentive to take the rank-and-file's side. I'm not sure why HR or IGs are ever assigned the task of 'representing' agents in the first place; it just seems like a conflict of interest.

Also, the plural of inspector general is inspectors general, not inspector generals.

Now you are just making stuff up. I give up.

I don't believe you. I don't believe you can't see the difference between identifying propaganda and being part of it.

Your arguments are putting words in my mouth by using straw men like Trevor in a straw man argument: "propoganda is an effective means of diplomacy".

All I can see is some-one wriggling out of an argument where they begun by calling me out for making propoganda posts.

You can twist that statement and apply your own criteria to it, but it just isn't true: pointing out propaganda has nothing to do with being part of it. Infact its the very process that stops it. You can close your eyes and pretend it doesn't happen - but that wont make it go away.

If she wants to write, then I don't think the question of whether HN'ers would read her writings really enters into the equation. A journal and pen are as likely appropriate as Posthaven.

Whether or not I'd read such a blog is a function of whether or not it's good (for some definition of "good" that, perhaps at a minimum, the author thinks is a good piece of prose).

My observation is that readable writings are readable because the author can't help but write them. The choice of medium is orthogonal and related to how loud a person wishes to speak and to whom and with what level of quality.

My concern at this point is that the author did not ask this question themselves...writing inherently comes with the risk of cricket sounds.

Good luck.

> I hope that one day people in Turkey will break their chains and get rid of that human-made arabic culture.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that Turkish people manage to get rid of the Arabian deity (Mohammad's god) they embraced a millennia ago, it would be an uphill battle for them against history because whether you like it or not, the most bright spots in history for Turkish people were during the reign of Seljuks and Ottomans, neither would have happened hadn't for the Islamic doctrine and faith.

You could argue of course that Turkey founded by Ataturk was still something impressive and to look up to but it still pales in comparison with what had been achieved during these two eras at least from an imperialistic and militaristic points of view.

That's why I think it wouldn't be easy for Turkey to break free from the negative Arabian influence and Sahara culture even if they renounce Islam altogether when compared to other countries in the region with more diverse and rich history spanning various civilizations and glorious times, and therefore they should focus more on how to reconcile with their past and history and not just get in state of denial about it.

Really, even if it weren't tied to Basecamp I think if DHH remains as Rails' BDFL, we won't see the type of changes a lot of developers want to see. Which just means we need to highlight other frameworks like Hanami, Trailblazer, et al. in Ruby user groups.
I think it's also gotten a lot better since 2008 simply because concurrency has become so much more important. Multi-core chips were only just beginning to get popular at the time this was written, which was really driving a new focus on concurrency, since that was seen as the only way we'd really see speed gains. Because of that focus, Erlang became more relevant, and more popularized.

Makes sense, but as you noted, none of the security benefits you mention are related to the blockchain and could just as easily be implemented by SWIFT or the banks. Nor is it clear why it would have been easier to trace the final destination within the network.

In fact it seems the whole situation could have been avoided if the bank had followed the recommended practice of having a secure wire room with a computer that's not connected to any network other than SWIFT. And if they don't do that they can have the same problem on a private blockchain network.
nice idea! but...

why do you need to ask for permission to:

A sentence saying "we'll not publish anything" is not enough. Better dont ask for permission in the twitter API or explain why do you need it.
