Horizon is a scary recommendation right now given the recent shuttering of RethinkDB (the company). It might still be a great choice, but I would give the community some time to coalesce and see where things end up before recommending it for new projects.
I wish I could enforce this as dropbox administrator to my users... like when they install, have "smart sync" on specific folders instead of default to downloading everything.
TFA's cites do not reinforce the primary assertion, that this was a trial balloon for a coup.

I honestly see this as a case of a populist President using the levers of power to their full extent, when Presidents have traditionally done so very slowly and carefully.
An odd number of positions is impossible because if your first position has an even number of 1's then your last position must have an odd number of 1's.

All even numbers should be possible though. For example, here is 6 positions: 000, 001, 011, 111, 110, 100 - and this strategy can generalize to any even number.
Based on this I doubt that will happen: https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Senators-Urge-New-FCC-Bo...
I want to move to Finland just for this, haha.

People here (southeast USA) like to ask this question as they are walking by. There is absolutely no way to answer in an honest way, you just have to say "Good, good." or something like that. Furthermore, since you're walking by it's still awkward even to say "Good, you?" I've always found it really weird. If you just want to say hey, say hey! Hello. Greetings. Salutations. Don't ask me a question as you're walking away. :v
Hola limedaring. You rock. Thanks for adding this specifically non-male list. A shame you're being downvoted.

I had a few books growing up that I came across that I really enjoyed.

Getting Started with Electronics was a Radio Shack book I owned that I used to learn the basics of circuits.

Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman was a book I came across back in high school that opened my eyes more to self teaching / learning and curiosity.

Later on in college I came across How to Solve it by Polya that opened my eyes up to ways to approach problem solving.

I also stumbled on Thinking as a Science by Henry Hazlitt which had a great approach to learning something new.

I don't think so. The holographic universe a "projection" in the sense that the information can be thought of as living on the boundary of a given space, with the maximum entropy / information contained therein proportional to the boundary's surface area (on a quantum level, a bit is a measurement of area). But this isn't super shocking if you're aware of the idea of "light bubbles" (the generalisation to three dimensions of a light cone) which already describe the limits of how information in a region of space can propagate.

Distance was already an illusion, insofar as it represents a non-unique projection of a spacetime using purely relativistic techniques. :) But the speed of light isn't going to be got around by any of these models. If anything, the models will explain this limit better.

On the front-end React and Redux would be excellent to learn. I'm also a big fan of EmberJS. If you don't already know Java, adding that to your toolbox could be very helpful if you ever want to end up in the enterprise world.
For the longest time (5 or 6 years, way longer than Electron) I have been puzzled as to why there didn't exist a document format for offline websites/apps, that are basically a zip file of HTML+CSS+images+javascript.

That way you could build simple, easily distributable multimedia documents and web apps.

That's like a doctor not following leading medical scientists in his field...

You don't have to, but, it's probably a good thing.
I thought Quip was a relatively small company and I liked them for that. But now somehow they have a SALESFORCE brand.
The functionality was polished and sexy.

The UI was clunky and the epitome of what happens when programmers design. Everything was jam packed into the screen so that it was immediately obvious what kinds of things you could do or how to go about what you wanted to do. It introduced a lot of concepts all at once, causing an unnecessary learning curve.
There is no HTML-container format, so you cannot create a multimedia HTML document (singular)

I still have mine in the closet. I learned to code in TI BASIC on that beautiful machine. I've kept it for 35 years because it's the biggest single influence from my childhood on who I am today. I should pull it out and relive some old memories.

That said, there's no way in hell that video was a TI BASIC program. There were way too many sprites moving too smoothly around the screen. They must have made a custom cartridge.
I disagree.

If code would be Apache licensed, I personally would consider to start new company around it. Maybe it would not 'scale', but it would be enough to pay my bills.

I've spent many many years half-completing things... I think it's a really common pattern. I recently, finally, completed something and launched it (https://schezzle.com). The trick is to just make yourself launch. Stop thinking about the business aspects, or scale, or really anything other than launching and just do it. I made a New Years resolution and held myself to it, and it feels great. Instead of watching TV or reading in the evening, pour a cup of coffee, make a TODO list, and start checking things off!
This is very much the case. You will have to put in more work to start so you can expect flexibility in some spots but to ultimately be working more than you would in a 9-5 job
Also in the southeast. I've started answering honestly (to a point). And when I ask it I stop first and face the person. It's actually a very difficult habit to get out of once you've started. Similar to removing verbal tics such as "like". The hardest part is the mindfulness required to acknowledge it's even happening.
By looking at their websites i have no idea what their product is about.
Initially when Paper was launched I tried and left the product quickly. I was using Quip a lot for my work as it's more developer friendly and easy to manage.

I use Paper more and more these days with my team though we are into Google for Work. Google Docs is a tough cookie and an office replica.

Those who are in to markdown, they would hardly go back to anything else for formatting. The only catch with markdown is about creating tables Dropbox paper has nailed it pretty well.

The product is more pleasing for eyes with better typography, cleaner design and user experience. There's no friction to write. The people who collaborates are more productive easily review and feedback. Also it's more developer friendly with quick emojis with ":" shortcut.

Finally nothing beats the simplicity of Dropbox Sharing.

The product has lot more opportunities to grow. Expecting more integrations in the coming days.
That's reasonable, but again this is the #2 grossing film for the year in the US. #1, #4, #5, #7 where PG kids movies. #3, #8, #9, and #10 where comic book movies in a long string of comic book movies.

So, yes revenue was down, but the movies where also very derivative. The top grossing films adjusted for inflation are Gone with the Wind, Avatar, the first Star Wars,	Titanic, The Sound of Music, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,	The Ten Commandments, Doctor Zhivago, Jaws, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The Force Awakens might make #10 on that list while being the only franchise movie to do so. But, no movie from 2016 is even close.
Obama never banned existing permanent residents from re-entering the country. Nor did he target people who had valid visas or dual citizenship.

You're falling for alternative facts.
This maybe a silly/newbie question. How is the function getting triggered at 10 AM? Who/what in awe is triggering it?
These are false equivalences. Alex Jones at InfoWars believes that Clinton and Obama are literally agents of satan, of literal supernatural evil. He's so over-the-top that his videos have become meme fodder. Obama joked about them on the stump (Jones claims that Obama left an odor of sulfur because of his demonic affiliations), and everyone in the audience knew what he meant.

Meanwhile, we're just a few days into this administration and it has already enacted a Muslim ban (complete with an escape hatch for Christians from Muslim countries) that operates in open defiance of federal courts --- Trump has precipitated a Constitutional crisis in how the US Marshal Service, which serves the courts but formally reports to the Executive Branch, will carry out its orders.

A convenient way to dismiss an argument is to attempt to tie it clownish morons like Alex Jones. But to accomplish that, you'll have to support your argument with evidence. What supernatural powers does this post suggest compel Trump to violate the federal courts?
No problem, I hope it helps and motivates you! Love to see developers take it upon themselves.
I'm going to assert that my definitions are correct by virtue of being the most logically consistent and everyone else should adjust their views accordingly.

But the theory is also easily testable. E.g. you can measure the humor response to unexpected events that violate the laws of physics verse unexpected events that don't violate the laws of physics. The Baillargeon toy car experiment I wrote about this is a good example of that, albeit that's not what it was designed to test.
I am considering buying this for an engineer that works for me to get up to speed on React in the very near future. I only want to start him on ES6+ syntax though. How long do you think until it will be up-to-date?
Thanks for the shoutout, but I'm not part of the parse team :)
Considering how little concern people put into it (eg: how difficult it is to handle disruptive neighbors at night, how little concern is put about noise near residential areas, etc), we sure as hell need more of those studies.

Because as of right now, nobody cares.

Hence deprecation right out the gate. V4 is much better, great work - but blaming users for API churn does not make me confident. Sure users could have used a stable release, but then upgrade twice? What confidence is there that it won't churn again?
Embarrassingly, I completed practically the exact same project but stuck it through with Lambda/API Gateway and just have it pull the precomputed data from a database. I wish I had known about Heroku Dataclips earlier! The build/test/deploy cycle for a Google Sheets add-on is a total nightmare.
1Password has an Apple Watch app, and you can choose the passwords you want to have on your watch. With a PIN on the watch that locks it when taken off one's wrist, I'm pretty happy with that sort of security.

Another step would be a extra 1Password pin, of some other kind of something you know code. A 4 pad touch screen that could use a combination of short press, long press, force-touch press as a combination would be pretty cool, come to think of it.

Every post of mine on this subject gets downvoted, but here goes.

I suspect that for many people your username calls to mind the KKK, and this leads them to be more critical of your content than they otherwise would be. Sarcastic spellings that include extra K's are commonly associated with right-wing politics, sometimes as endorsement and sometimes as criticism: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-spell-America-as-Am....

Why did you choose the username that you did?
Why would it work for you if it didn't work for them? Genuinely asking.
I'm amazed by the cognitive dissonance necessary to equate people who are legal permanent residents of the United States with militants who are the targets of military action in ISIS-controlled territory.

I also think it's hilarious that the right is now all of a sudden pretending to give a shit about all the "bombing and killing the US has been doing" when they clearly supported the invasion of Iraq and all the military actions in the Middle East undertaken by Bush that have lead us to where we are today.

All these lovely services in the comments that I would love to use at work, but I can't because, I'm in the UK, working with somewhat sensitive personal data and there is no way we can commit that stuff to a data centre in the U.S somewhere these days. I'm not sure what the solution is, other than letting people self-host.

SSL tunnel through browser?
Is it possible to run a SSL tunnel through my website in a browser, and connect it to a VPN?

What I'm looking for is a solution where I can go to tunnel.example.com, login, and browse any website through that portal, without the need for a systemwide VPN or SSH tunnel, which isn't possible due to a school or work controlled computer (on which I have no admin access).

I would prefer to host the portal on my own website, and run it through a VPN configuration I already own (NordVPN or PIA).

Thanks,
Seb

Actually, they'd probably treat it well: sex, violence, vengeance, sodomy, incest, torture. Sounds like a perfect script for a Hollywood movie. Just ask Mel Gibson how well "Passion of the Christ" did.
I second the recommendation for Notion - such a beautiful and fast interface. It is lacking some Trello features needed in my workplace, but it's really great for personal note-taking.
It is quite illuminating to see the exchange for instance between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky to get a sense of the difference of tone and focus between european and american intellectuals.

Maybe a similar thing needs to happen with movies?

It won't. Consumers got the level of control over their music library that they did as an accident of timing. The quality of the popular home format (CD) was very good, home computers came with the hardware to read them, the power of home computing and network speeds were just good enough for audio piracy. So music piracy became ubiquitous before the pieces were in place for DRM to stop it.

Video piracy only hit big at the tail end of that window, so the market doesn't expect as much flexibility when buying video as with music. Every year we're stuck with more and more DRM technology coming standard in the products we buy and software we use.
I used this quite a lot over the past 6 months, for personal note taking (didn't use any of the team/collaboration features or whatever)

It's pretty nice, supports inline LaTeX, embedding youtube, spotify, images, tweets, PDFs, google docs and has a good markdown parser.

I've recently moved over to org-mode though, mainly because there are more features (although it doesn't support the rich media things like embedded videos etc, but has good enough solutions for images and LaYeX)
> They were putting the url into google.

Do note that on, at least, mobile Chrome, the Chrome "omnibox" is actually rendered as the Google search page's search box. Typing addresses "into Google" is how you get the browser to navigate to them. If that's the only browser you've ever used, it would be quite a surprise to find that on the school computers, the Google search box is just a search box, and there's another box up at the top of the browser window you have to use for URL entry instead.
It's geared towards legacy. I have used parse in 3 different projects (none of that was my choice, these were existing projects I had to take over) and I would NEVER recommend it for new projects.

The way everyone seems to use it, in my experience, is giving the client credentials to manipulate the full database which is absolutely insane. Obviously this is not good practice but every single parse project I've gotten thrown into already did this and it was a significant amount of work to move it to be more secure and NOT do that. I think the way it's created makes it very, very easy to make bad security choices.

It's also basically a RESTful CRUD. That's mostly it minus some, mostly minor, bells and whistles. You can already do this with about 20 different open source stacks very easily and you're not stuck using this parse technology.

I can't articulate just how much trouble parse has given me. I even took an app and re-wrote its entire backend away from parse significantly faster than doing a handful of updates.
There are dedicated teams that are only there, and/or parts of teams that are full time only there. I was on one, for example, and knew of others.
Or just install systemd-shim and call it a day.
the problem is in many circumstances the entire management or operations teams can be forcibly removed by investors etc. many of these companies are all volatile, high growth venture-backed companies with financial and corporate shenanigans being pulled left and right.

If it wasn't tipped toward foreign workers, you'd hear stories of H1B workers who sadly lost their job to an American. You'd hear stories about companies who hired all American employees, then apologized when they realize it didn't work out and they went back to H1B workers. You'd hear politicians calling for more foreign workers because there are too many jobs for Americans.

The 25% success rate? That's the system working as intended.

But your story of American workers just needing to find a willing employer, your story of proving that an American worker isn't available to do the job, it's just not true. Or at least it's not as true as you want to make it seem.

The minimum for an H1B employee is $60,000 right now. I made more than that at my first tech job right out of college, living in a small city in the Midwest. To get an H1B employee, all you have to do is put up a job posting for $60,000 and wait. The people who will fill that position will be expecting $80,000 and will turn it down. To get an H1B employee, all you need to do is pay far less than market rate (but at or above H1B minimum). Boom, you have highly skilled Americans out of a job and companies getting employees for less than market rate. I've seen it happen at every place I've ever worked.

Part of Trump's idea is to raise the minimum for H1B workers to $100k. The idea of an H1B is that it allows you to hire employees who have such a specialized skillset that you can't find someone in America to do the work. What it's become is finding an entry-level Java coder for less than what an American college-educated entry-level employee would make. If the work you need done is so advanced or so specialized that there is no one in America who can do it, you should be willing to pay whatever it costs to get it done.

It should be extremely difficult to hire a foreign worker. Not impossible, but really, really hard. Yes, it may be a privilege to be an American, but there are a lot of unemployed, skilled, college-educated Americans. The problem isn't not finding enough Americans to fill the positions, it's not wanting to pay what they need to get paid. And that's the wrong sort of behavior to encourage.

H1B visas should drive pay up, not down.
Thanks for the reply. I could really see making great looking documents with this. Although the problem is we're using all these cli tools (I love them too) to edit them.

So the problem is when I try to edit them on a new computer or even online, there's no way for me to do it in most cases, and in when I actually can install packages for all that, there's some dependency management I have to do. One more thing, since the output in HTML file, I have to again use a full-featured(which means slow to open) web browser to render the HTML file.
I've looked at Notion a few times, and it looks really impressive. It also looks really overwhelming – almost too many features/capabilities, so it's hard to know how it would fit into what I currently do, or what tools I should replace with it.

But maybe that means I'm not the right customer for it :)

Yeah, that doesn't seem like a very objective way to test this kind of thing. We know, based on all kinds of testing done in the past, that our tastebuds react more sensitively to tastes that we don't know to protect us from potentially eating foods that are poisonous or rotten. It's the reason why you have to develop a taste for things like bleu cheese and cilantro and why they taste bitter or strong at first. We're "programmed" to like foods that we've tasted before and are used to and that we know are safe to eat. When you introduce a flavor for something that we "know" what it's supposed to taste like, we naturally are averse to that taste. It's the same reason that people develop taste aversions to foods that they've gotten sick from or why people can't drink a liquor that they've had a terrible experience with. Your tastebuds "recognize" that this taste or flavor got you sick last time and prepare your body for it.
