This is a pretty cool service! I have had my moments when I had to set up the AWS free tier a few hours before a very important client meeting.

I have this gut feeling that this service will make the cloud technology a bit more accessible for a budding to medium skilled developer.

Personally, I have hesitated a lot to try out AWS and other cloud services at college due to the "over billing nightmare" you have every time you sign up with the credit card. This is particularly an issue at the part of the world I come from. Hopefully, this will bring down that barrier and bring more college students in to experimenting with the cloud tech.

Also, considering the way client meetings getting rescheduled in many cases might help you in generating a lot of cash. ;) (If they haven't created it to restore state in their yaml or bash user-data script, of course!)
There is no way to defend what he did though, even if r/The_Donald is a cesspool.

I didn't mean Stein, more like meant about all the rioting and the news coverage that tries to paint this grudgy picture.
I understand your point, but at the same time I don't feel like anybody thought they didn't have the capability to do such a thing. If you have control of the site and control of the data, it's not a stretch to imagine they can edit anything they want.

I'll be honest and say that if I was actually worried about such a thing happening, I'd go somewhere else. The bottom line is that Reddit doesn't exist to serve /r/the_donald - and that's not a shot at /r/the_donald, just that clearly it's priorities and Reddit's priorities are fairly different. If I was involved with something that I thought the admins weren't ok with, then I would take it somewhere else because I'd be well aware it's the admin's site to mess with in anyway they please. Even if they 'promise' not to do anything, there's no guarantee. Other sites that align more with their views could give them much better guarantees of that sort.

I'm in agreement with you though, to a point - I think it was a horrible move on Spez's part and I don't really find it funny. But while I (along with probably everybody else) didn't personally think something like this would happen, I didn't ever hold the opinion that it couldn't happen, just that the admins were smart enough not to do something like this, and that the admins had no reason to bother with my posts (And none of my posts are really that important anyway). If I had reason to suspect that the admins didn't like my stuff being there and was concerned about it, I'd go somewhere else. It's no different then why I wouldn't store sensitive information only on Google Drive - Google has full control over it and could take it off on a whim if they really wanted.

> if you learned another programming tool first, you will recoil in disgust from some of the more non-ideal uses of it

Will you? I've learned plenty of programming tools and I recoil in disgust at the sight of them - of all the bullshit you need to jump through to get anything done, and the arcane (and constantly changing!) knowledge you need to have to make it work. Spreadsheets are pretty much the best tool out there for exploratory work with numbers.

And because the masses don't think of it as "programming", they still build suprisingly complex models and tools within the spreadsheets, when otherwise they'd likely be scared away.

Personally, I'm in a process of learning Excel in depth - the more I work with it, the more I like it. It's like a REPL for moderate-complexity data processing and visualization.

How does that free webpage to PDF converter add-on make money? By selling your web history of course.

> It's not the storage which is the issue, it's the verification. If you are (made up example) JP Morgan, and you've sold $500m in bonds to a mutual fund, both parties know for sure that everything went smoothly if their copy of the blockchain tells them that it went ahead (just like you know that your Bitcoin wallet contains x bitcoin, and if you send that balance to an address, that transaction is absolutely confirmed beyond doubt). The transaction and settlement happen at the same time, instead of a 3 day process which is the situation today (for stocks). They don't need an expensive, external authority to tell them that everything went smoothly, they can confirm it themselves much faster and cost effectively.

That isn't what clearinghouses do in a legal/functional sense for participants.
I wish people would stop touting the Stanford experiment as some sort of truism. It was a deeply flawed experiment that didn't observe proper scientific principles and the conclusions were largely subjective and anecdotal.

I don't think that's correct. My mother is someone who watches left-wing biased news (MSNBC) all day, for example. And while I wouldn't call NPR specifically left-wing, they have a heavy establishment bias, and were running anti-Trump stuff continually through the election. Plus, there is a whole media establishment out there preaching to the far left (Democracy Now, "hippie" radio, etc.)
Hmm, that likely depends on the shape of the glasses, and possibly the shape of face, and riding position. I have tried riding with contacts and find that I feel much better with my glasses.

There are constant references on forums to how they want to move away from XUL, for both Firefox and Thunderbird. XUL works, but I feel like very people are able to improve the guts of XUL, and that can be a huge risk for the future of the project. Pale Moon seems to be the main contender willing to maintain XUL, but presumably not improve it (changes to XUL can break extensions).

As someone working on another free software project with an aging code base, we see this debate all the time: limited funds, limited interest to maintain the old core, but users rely on it. However, users also want performance improvements, more reliability, new features... not to mention what do you do when security issues pop up. At some point you need to cut your losses and find a model easier to maintain.
How Design Thinking Will Revolutionize Enterprises in 2017
Electron, and to a great extent the cross platform fetish, is a perversion of DRY. They don't want to write the same code for two platforms. But its usually not the same code. Its the same logic implemented on two different platforms. Developers are so into code sharing, write once run everywhere, that they don't stop and ask if they should. In every case you are paying a price for abstraction, like running Electron or using a WebGL canvas instead of a native graphics API. The article highlights cases where they price was paid, but the app was still platform specific.

I’m author of that gist (just noticed I have some comments there I need to reply to), still running the setup, now with FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. Tl;dr it generally works, still no wi-fi support. X works fine (running with drm-next-4.7 patches to get external thunderbolt display to work; vanilla kernel works fine with built-in and DVI display, gets confused by Thunderbolt display only). Gave up on pkg because I want to control my build flags, I’m using portmaster now and thinking about setting up poudriere on a bigger server. Feel free to ask if you have any particular questions.

On the one hand, pretty bullshit (https://www.google.com/#q=at+*+we+are+passionate+about+ is a fun search). And often code word for "unpaid overtime".

On the other hand, companies do legitimately want people who will care about their work. So maybe next time:

1. Spend a bit more time reading about companies' business and then ask more questions at interviews. Even if you're not passionate you do want to make sure they're not going to have redundancies in 6 months, and it will give better impression :)

2. Emphasize your pride in work you do, so even if it's not "HEART EYES INSURANCE I LOVE INSUARNCE" at least it's "I will do good work."

3. Try to get better sense of company culture (e.g. unpaid overtime), so you can better calibrate rejections and so you can get better sense of if you want to work there. Ideally if they say "not enough passion" you should already know whether this is code for unpaid overtime based on what you learned in interview.

4. This is another reason getting jobs through someone you know is better, you can get better sense of company culture in advance.

While Wikileaks may not alter any of the information they are given, it is plausible that their sources have the ability to alter documents before sending to Wikileaks.

The only newsworthy item I have seen was this: http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN12Y2WY

Of course nothing has come of this speculation, so it may end up being nothing.

My last $.02, given the sensitive nature of some of the information that Wikileaks releases, there is probably no avenue for corroborating the materials other than, maybe, how the source received said materials.
It would be able to feel pain if it can learn to avoid it. In humans, pain, hunger and other emotions are just reward signals that guide behavior such that we don't die.

Media has existed for a long time. Newspapers have put out bad news for a long time. Politicians have been trolling us via TV for a long time. And some people have fell for it over the years, but less so than today. It isn't the volume of the content that matters, but how the audience receives it. So yes, helping the audience to receive it better does make a difference, because that personal filter on consumption of media is exactly what is missing.

I'm not claiming that just saying it on a discussion online suffices to make a difference. You need to actually act in real life. I do so by talking about what is going on in the media with my wife and kids, and encouraging them to do the same with their friends. It might be small, but it is something. And enough people making small changes DO solve problems.

SRS users are actively undermining and destroying other subreddits, either by infiltrating the mod team and gaining their trust, or abusing reddit's bureaucratic process and having the existing mods removed for inactivity.

This had me for the first half, where the author walks you through the 'case study' applications that offer minimal functionality despite shipping with an entire browser inside.

But then the essay turns into a rant. It's 2016, people, the ship has sailed on pretending JS isn't a real programming language. Phrasing the argument the way he does just betrays his smug elitism.

The fact is, for many types of applications, Electron is a really good fit: for example, shipping a single-page webapp as a desktop app, a need that surfaces often in today's world, despite his derision of this concept.

An Electron-wrapped SPA is safer than going to the same website in a multi-tabbed browser and co-mingling your disparate cookies in the same jar, not to mention more convenient for the users, because they can treat it like any other desktop application -- with hardware access, and subject to the OS' native task management.

For other apps, Electron allows the world's most popular layout system (HTML+CSS) to be used with one of the world's most popular programming languages. This is a huge boon for re-using knowledge, and perhaps does lead to some amateurish projects. Similar criticisms were leveled towards Visual Basic, where drag-and-drop composing and a good IDE enabled people to quickly crank out a GUI app from an idea.

If I might make a suggestion, I'd recommend doing some kind of tracing when you run the tests so you can have a mapping of what parts of your code are exercised by which gems/tests. Then when you make changes to your code you can run the tests that relate to that part of the system first, thus giving you more confidence that your change didn't cause a regression. This should be much more efficient than simply doing a full gem run (although I'd recommend that too, since it could uncover hidden dependencies).
How to Capture All Errors Returned by a Function Call in Elixir
Author here. Debugging dual boot is interesting, debugging virtualbox is not. And I was curious if I can get it running. I just was too lazy to figure it out, I found a more interesting problem to work on.

This is a somewhat older rant (at least 2015, I think). And the title is misleading. It is really "Why I wish there were a product similar to but different than smartcards, HSMs, YubiKeys, etc." Because there isn't much in there that argues why smartcards (or yubikeys, etc.) are not good at what they do. The author just wants a different thing, and doesn't understand why this fantasy product doesn't exist.

> js-ctypes allowed an addon to access already-present native libs on the the host machine or bundled with the addon itself. Messaging only works if you can get users to install some external application in addition to your addon, which is a too-tall hurdle for small extensions.
>
> From my perspective those barely comparable.

I haven't checked, but I seem to remember that you can provide a platform-specific binary as part of an add-on, spawn it from WebExtensions and then communicate with it through the native bridge. Building/shipping one binary per platform is annoying, but the rest is infinitely better than using js-ctypes. I should know, I've been one of the first users of js-ctypes and I still shudder at the thought :)

> In other words, "I can't let you do that, Dave" API design can stifle creativity.

True. On the other hand, this is the kind of paradigm shift that was implemented by operating systems ~20 years ago (more in the case of Unix) and so far, improving the safety and security of operating systems has generally played in favor of users and creativity, not against them.

This doesn't mean that there is no space for lower level, MS-DOS/Apple II-style hacking – I'm doing exactly that these days. But still, separating both sounds like a good idea to me. YMMV.

> And it also introduces a bias in favor of already entrenched extensions, which is less open than the current approach.

Good point. I seem to remember discussions about how to have an "unsafe" extension mechanism that would make it easier to experiment with non-standard APIs. I haven't checked myself, but I believe that this mechanism has been published, as an extension called "the WebExtension Extension" or something like that.
