Hi everyone. I'm in the process of public-beta launching my SaaS business called Postways; a Message Management System for Transactional Messages. If you have an application that either sends emails, SMS and/or mobile push, you might be interested in giving it a go. Currently there is full support for Amazon AWS SES and SNS but more 3rd party integrations are planned for the future. Currently all signups go onto a generous free beta plan, so no payment required for now.

I have written a first blog post that hopefully gives some context on how and why I decided to pursue this:

https://www.postways.com/blog/posts/hello-postways

I'm aware that UI and design wise it's still a bit rudimentary, I'm a one man band on a shoe-string budget. However, I believe the core technology works pretty well.

I'm looking forward to your feedback, thoughts and suggestions.

One small question here. With their "Instant emoji reactions" looks like they are doing server side shape recognition, so Slack video-calls are not P2P (i.e. if I'm calling my colleague in my office the streams are going to the Slack servers before going back)?

In Australia we have the option of voting for someone as our first preference, and letting them direct your lower preferences for after they get eliminated (according to their previously published preference list). If you made that the only option, you'd just need to count the votes for each candidate, then any further calculations could be based on these totals.
Because the format was originally written by PKWARE for their PKZIP and PKUNZIP programs for DOS in the 80s and used for backup purposes, among others (being able to span multiple floppy disks was an often used feature).

To write the directory at the beginning they'd need to keep all the data in memory or do some extra postprocessing that would make it prohibitively slow on a 4.7MHz machine with a 20MD hard disk and a slow 360K floppy disk drive. So the directory goes at the end.

The files do not begin with a magic number because ZIP files can be embedded in other files - most commonly executable files for the self-extracting feature of PKZIP that placed the ZIP file right after the decompressor. This allowed the executable to be used both by itself and by PKZIP.

As for the data after the magic number, it was used for the comment which was most likely added at a later point and they decided to put it after the magic number so that it remains compatible with existing decompressors. In the 80s and early 90s people didn't had Internet to get the latest version and a lot of old versions of PKUNZIP were floating around for many years.

>> After six weeks, the Pokemon GO effect had disappeared completely.

Because there's literally nothing to do in this game. I've so far removed it from my phone and am really surprised when news still mention it, the whole thing must have been the missed opportunity of the century.

When it came out I went for walks every other day, just to play the game. I've seen more of my neighborhood than in the last 4 years of living here. But, there was just no reason to continue.

Any idea where the datacentres are? I know that amazon doesn't disclose it, but should be noticable to have 2-3 new huge data centres? Would guess 1 AZ in Slough and the other one in the docklands (if they have 2AZs)?
> Even the ones for babies, that people for some reason I can't fathom like to carry around in the supermarket, [...]

These are awesome because you can take your sleeping baby out of the car, carry them with you without waking them up, and put them back in the car without waking them up. Shopping is 10x faster this way than when you have to spend most of your time comforting/distracting an awake and fussy baby.
I get the point you're trying to make but that very statement is contradictory. Something cannot be both good and bad. It can have good and bad effects but overall it cannot coexist in both states simultaneously. And as for why I think it's wrong to use sorrow to justify war; I had already addressed that point about the constant upping of the stakes.

I have a feeling we might have to agree to disagree on those points though because like most philosophical debates, it's really a question of opinion and perspective rather than something that can be empirically proven. That's not to say I haven't appreciated reading your views on this topic though :)

> I doubt you can find something like that with FX-8350 and cheaper.

I have a AMD FX 8320 workstation, and I assembled it brand new for less than €400.

In fact, if you take away the €130 referring to the price of an AMD FX 8320, you get the remaining budget for the mobo, RAM, and HDs.
Don't worry, we will find a way around that stupidly draconian rule by making it not look like a word.

Interesting. As a service provider (hosting) we have received many "court orders" that are very similar to these NSLs... but they were not NSLs. Now that I see these NSLs, I am not that freaked out by them. I'm not sure of all the hub bub, at least for these particular NSLs. The scope of these is basically limited to identifying the user. These specifically say to not provide content of the account to the FBI. The not-NSL court orders we have received have included verbage to not disclose the request to the subject of the request.

I thought NSLs were supposedly non-contestible, broad and were for communication detail. These don't seem to be any if that.

The requests we have received have been from a variety of organizations (but signed by a magistrate) ranging from local law enforcement to three letter acronyms and one entity that is neither. While the requests don't say why the order is being issued, we usually receive a call from the agent/detective beforehand and dialog ensues in which they explain what's going on.

While many companies will just give the info, we scrutinize the request and ask the agent/detective politely and apologetically that we can help, but only if they acquire a court order. We have caught not-legitimate requests before, so we verify the request is legit before responding. We have never been asked for content of communications. If Google is not doing the same thing... oof. Just as a matter of process I assume they do. I recall in the past some networks having right in their WHOIS info, how/where Law Enforcement can send FAX requests.
I was thinking more in terms of an ecosystem for desktop app developers.

Let's say you want to make a game for Linux. How do you package it? Do you have to make RPMs, debs and/or something else? Do you rely on dependencies available on the system, or do you build a binary with all dependencies statically linked? Do you care about inclusion in the package managers for the various distros? What do you use for Audio? You might want to use Pulse, but what if the user does not have Pulse installed? What if your game includes a launcher with a login form etc, do you choose QT or GTK? Do you have to test your game on the top 3 popupar distros? Top 5? And so on.

What a poorly-written blog entry.

So, the author argues that the "advantages of R programming" are the fact that it's "entirely open sourced", it can be used to produce visualizations, and that "anyone is allowed to provide code enhancements and new packages."

What a waste of bandwidth, this blog entry is.
I kind of agree this strategy, but do note I am not looking at being cheap. My people are paid well above market rate, the point is I need execution and work done, there is a limit on how out-of-box and creative an employee should be. One can question the technical solution or even the business model, but after a decision is made by the business owner, execution must be done instead of incessant arguing over the merits and demerits of such decision.

As such, I tend to hire those who don't take oneself too seriously. The OP's redflags I feel are corollary to this observation.

Be humble and get shit done.

From what I've heard it doesn't really work that well, even with a third camera, with intermittant tracking issues, and with much less space than the Vive.

Your quotes are either misleading or shill.

I wish I'd read the edit sooner. The original comment gave me a headache and I kept reading it over and over.
Perhaps the positional sacrifice can be identified by similar means. The most superficial measurement of a position is the material left on the board. So when you compare the superficial measurement to a deeper positional measurement and they are divergent, then we have something positional.

I think one of Kasparov's games against Karpov in the New York portion of one of their World Championship matches involved Kasparov sacrificing a queen for positional compensation on the black side of a King's Indian. It would be interesting to see what this project thinks of that game.
There is no stock cooler for the 6900k nor any other enthusiast part intel makes and this has been the case for a while now there is also no official oem reference design for the cooler either.

As for the boost, I haven't seen a load that would prevent a core i7 from boosting permanently on air cooling, with water you'll have no problems keeping it at 4.3-4.5 even with an AIO...
> That first week, the activity increase was significant—a boost of 955 steps, or an estimated 11 minutes of additional walking a day, according to study author Katherine Howe.

Isn't that already making users more active?

> Significant, maybe, but the step increase is (unsurprisingly) much smaller than that generated by other walking "interventions," like the use of a Fitbit.

Pokemon GO is free. Not everyone can buy a Fitbit or other walking "interventions"...

Not a big Pokemon GO fan but I'd like to think it did make people more active even if it was just for a week.
I hear that. The local shopping plaza was filled late into the night with teens and adults playing; that went on for almost a month. Now, occasionally, I'll see someone driving and playing it, which defeats the exercise portion and is absolutely a danger to those around them. I have some acquaintances who play it on their commutes as an idle filler, but that's about it.

I agree with @robputt796 and @onion2k - just dive in and build the UI yourself... learn just enough HTML/CSS/Javascript to use Bootstrap (or Foundation) for a "good enough" UI. If the idea get some traction, you can always hire a "real" UI expert later to go back and rework it.

That's basically what I did / am doing. I know bugger all about front-end development, but I've done all of the work on https://www.neuralobjects.com by myself. Basically I used Bootstrap and just enough jQuery to add in some interactivity using Ajax (like toggling the state of the progress bars as the provisioning process changes state, etc).

Dive in, learn as you go. You'll get there.
6 Tips to Competitively Price Your Products on Your E-commerce Website
The reason I say that he would have noticed is that the book has many examples of him being careful with expenses and the numbers in general. From the same chapter as the quote above:

As a former bookkeeper, Rockefeller devoted special attention to ledgers. One accountant recalled him stopping by his desk and saying courteously, “Permit me,” then flipping quickly through his books. “Very well kept,” he said, “very, indeed.” Then his eye leaped to a tiny error. “A little error here; will you correct it?” The accountant was flabbergasted by the speed with which Rockefeller had scanned so many dense columns of figures. “And I will take my oath,” he reported, “that it was the only error in the book!”

> Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether.

Are there seriously cars on the road with complete fly-by-wire brakes which have no pure mechanical backup? That's horrifying. How did we go from dual redundant hydraulic systems that work (if in a reduced capacity) even when the ignition is off, to something at the mercy of some code that can be bamboozled over 3G?
Which is why in a lot of corporate systems, the password history is set to 13 last passwords. a) it prevents a 0-9 rotation, and b) it also prevents people rolling passwords based on month name or number.
Has anyone claimed it would make you more active once you stopped playing?
After learning to touch type in Australia as a high school student on QWERTY I was thrown for a loop when I arrived in France and found myself face to face with AZERTY. Didn’t take a long time to figure out and now, ten years later, a QWERTY keyboard has me staring at the keyboard and picking at keys like a hungry bird. The shift key for numbers? Totally natural. Shift key for the period? Also natural now.

If you like your keyboard, keep it - but the switch is always a pain.

>"We question whether identifying the key which will open the strongbox - such that the key is surrendered - is, in fact, distinct from telling an officer the combination," wrote Judge Black.

Well, the circuit court is right, there really isn't much difference between forcing someone to give you a key and forcing someone to give you a password.

The article did a really bad job of explaining the legal parts of the argument (as nearly all articles do). The whole key vs combination distinction wasn't a part of the Doe vs US. decision, it was actually a part of the dissent (dissent means the opinion of the minority judges which isn't really law).

The issue here was self-incrimination and self-incrimination only applies to "testimonial evidence", testimonial evidence that is evidence that communicates some information. If that sounds confusing as hell, that's because it is, it's an absolutely vague and ridiculous standard that can go any way depending on who looks at it.

For example, the Supreme court has at various times decided that being forced to give your name is, and is not a violation of the right against self incrimination(1).
It's a terrible standard and I think that's why it gives room to so much back and forth. In this case, the courts were trying to decide if an i-phone password is "testimonial" as described by the Supreme Court and of course, it can go either way and no one is really sure because the standard doesn't make any sense.

The difference is that the positional sacrifice is less tangible. A space advantage, a tempo advantage, more mobile pieces, improved cohesion/coordination of pieces (Kasparov was legendary for taking this last kind of advantage and turning it into a lethal attack). It's a dynamic advantage rather than a static/permanent advantage, which also means there's a risk of that advantage dissipating as the game drags on.

These advantages aren't the kind where you can sit back and let the game play out confident of winning. It's a deliberate unbalancing of the equilibrium of the position, and one where this temporary dynamic advantage needs to be used to create a longer-lasting and static advantage.
Heh, I often have more than 3 wrong password attempts. Lockout is a really bad idea for me.
If you can get such sensitive data, you can install a live root kit instead and get fresh passwords.

I'm not sure that it makes much difference whether I reset to 0 or keep going through 10 and up. My biggest frustration is that every password change I'll mistype my closing digit for about a week before muscle memory gets the new one right,

> This looks like the perfect case for using Promises...

I think promises are a bad idea if loading JavaScript is on the critical path to rendering your page. Unless you have so much JavaScript that parsing takes a long time and you need to yield to the layout and composition engine...

I wrote my own bundle loader so that:

* cached JavaScript loads fast

* CSS is put into a JavaScript string and loaded as a JavaScript file so (1) success and error handling code is simplified and (2) because error handling for CSS is hard -- e.g mycss.js looks like insertCssStyle('.much {css: here}');

* Small images are compiled into the CSS as data. Fonts are loaded in the CSS as data (avoiding a couple of bugs).

* it starts loading in <head> (avoiding much delay).

* It inserts <script> elements (rather than use XHR and eval) so that stack traces are readable, and cross origin works well, and so the browser can multithread the loading and parsing.

* it requests scripts from a single cross origin cloudflare host (for speed and caching), but re-requests from the page's domain if that isn't working (for reliability).

* loading failures are logged to third party (for checking reliability).

* JavaScript bundles are wrapped in try/catch for logging, and they explicitly call a function too indicate the bundle loaded successfully (and to chain dependencies correctly for async loading).

It is hard to make a single page app load reliably, and to report failures correctly if it fails!
