Does this get around the s3 request costs? or is this just a cheaper way to account far large data volumes.
Pencil is awesome. It is my goto prototyping and wireframing tool. I honestly like it better than the other tools with price tags that I've used out there. Somehow it seems noone knows about this, but its doing for mockups/wireframing what Blender does for 3D artists - providing a high quality open source tool that is usable by industry professionals. I hope pencil and their devs get more recognition / funding.
I see a lot of criticism around Electron. I honestly admit I am not a fan of it - see Slack memory consumption. OTOH I am not experienced enough to be able to judge the language as a whole. Could anyone not biased list pros and cons of Electron here? If it is so bad as people say, why more and more Electron apps pop up here and there?

Used mostly by politicians, lobbyists and media, it's become just another meaningless buzzword people throw around to give the impression they know what they are talking about, quite similar to the "cloud".

Even the CCDCOE (NATO Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence) admits that it's a rather undefined term with vastly different interpretations: https://ccdcoe.org/cyber-definitions.html
Right. I guess the claim has always been that if you made it you know what's in it and you're less likely to unwittingly consume an extreme amount of sugar or whatever. I don't know how accurate that is.
The X-axis really ought to have been labeled. It wasn't obvious that it represented age.

Age is a plausible inference from the data, but labeling the axis would have made the visualization tighter.

It seems that bump is pretty obvious, after school if you are not doing something that regularly has you around other people(college or some job), then time spent alone will increase. For me, the most interesting part here is how this actually goes down a little bit on the late 20s.
Similarly, very little of the trig and pre-calculus stuff that I had to learn in math class made any sense to me, until I either had to use it for drawing graphics with QBasic in my programming class, or for a plethora of things in my shop classes.
I imagine most people (surely me) are mostly thinking of added simple sugar when they talk about avoiding sugar, and not the carbohydrates in a slice of toast. But really I don't see the benefits as entirely "obvious" to having toast rather than, say, eggs.

I stopped being a musical snob a while back. I mind no music that gives me chills but often it has to have some ingredients. Now it can be bubblegum pop, it's not an issue, as it should since I have many "ridiculous" songs that I find quite deep to listen too (teen pop idol, old kids shows theme songs).

This is a small technical project. It requires some minimal level of technical abilities. A variation of this may be useful. (But I can't think any useful variation now.)

So I think it's a good submission, perhaps to get 50-100 points, and a #20 in the front page. I think that 250 points and the #1 in the front page is too much, but whatever.

[not a quote] So a page with a funny domain with a static text that says "YES" or "NO" is a good submission?

Nah. This is has a very low level of technical content. But if the text is determined by the blockchain, or user votes, a sensor, or something it may be good enough. But it would be better to submit a blog post explaining the projects.
I understand why he did it, having just done l10n myself for a client, our application is now harder to work with, and harder to just even find things, for example if you search for a phrase you can see on the screen, you get taken to the string file, instead of the string location. It's just an extra step, but it's a little mental drain that you wish you didn't have to deal with. You can't even scan the html anymore very easily as it's filled with all these hard-to-quickly-parse ids instead of human readable text.

Another big problem with using existing strings for ids is that if you notice a typo or tweak the phrasing of a particular string, boom, there goes your placeholder.
I had a lot of fun working through this in the context of building mazes, e.g. http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2015/11/28/upsilon-mazes.html

"Can't learn" is rarely the issue. Supporting two or three separate native apps is.

For some organizations this is manageable and the right move. For others, resources need to be allocated otherwise and they take the path of least resistance.

Most non technical people don't know the difference, aren't checking ram usage, don't have philosophical opposition to writing desktop apps in a browser, etc.

If my choice was between writing real native apps and slowing development versus just getting something done, I'd choose the latter, particularly for a project like this one. I understand the complaint, but in practice it's often a developer's quibble.
I'm not hating on them. I mentioned it because the hive mind certainly does and so seemed a poor example.

I'm not a fan because they are unoriginal and re-use the same template in their production software for multiple songs.

There will always be people to get hooked on old artists, but the point remains that we're not in a world where there are guitar heroes like in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the numbers of people who become inspired enough to work at the instrument for long enough to achieve proficiency has consequently declined.

I learned in the mid 90s, probably inspired by Oasis, and related Britpop artists. Of course very quickly I was listening to older musicians like Page, Hendrix, and Clapton. Even then though my friends who played music and I were well aware that the age of guitar hero was over and that it was quirkier to want to play guitar music than it had been ten years before. There were no more Slashes on the horizon.

Music scenes seem likely to never be so one dimensional as they were in previous decades, because there's something for everyone online, and I can't see a time when Top of the Pops has three big rock bands playing on the same night ever again.
Having just done some l10n for a client, the thing that annoys me is how even the most powerful editors, such as VS, have such awful tools for l10n. .Net's actual i18n support is pretty good overall, but the editor support is bad.

I literally had to build my own. With 2,500 different strings for a total of 10,000 words I wouldn't even consider our application even that big, it must be a nightmare in bigger projects. We haven't even done the sales site yet because the product's being upsold through a partner.

We came up with our own id naming system, then created an xlsx/resx importer/exporter that uploaded to GSheets to allow us to share files with translators. The ids and comments fields allowed us to add extra meta data, to split the strings into logical sections and sheets and order them properly. Be able to add links to the page that section of translations are on so the translator could see the context. This then additionally allowed us to highlight if a translator had missed any lines when we re-imported it, add their own questions/comments, etc. Also, as we were using sendwithus, we used the importer/exporter to allow us to import pot files from them to keep everything in one place.

Then to support those tools, I created a tool to search for phrases used before, find out the ordering from the meta data, quickly copy ids of strings we want to re-use, see missing spreadsheet tabs.

Programmatically, we had to add support for automatically translating enums into strings (think project status for example), add l10n to our audit logs so customers could see their audits in the correct language and we'd see them in English, modify how .Net did l10n of dates because their built in one is really odd with en-GB which is where we are based (shortdate is Jan 01 2025 in en-US but inexplicably 01 January 2025 in en-GB and all sorts of other oddities).

Then we used a modified version of pseudoizer (thanks John Robbins + Scott Hanselman![1]) to allow us to easily see untranslated strings while we went through the whole site without having a finished translation (we used ja-JP instead of Polish to really see the differences in date strings, currency, etc.). We ended up modifying it because it goes a bit mental with adding !!!! for things like tabs.

Probably spent a week on those tools, but boy was it worth it.

I've not tried intellij's l10n support, maybe it's better, but VS's is very lacklustre.

Strange memories on this nervous night in Big Data. Has it been five years, six? It seems like a lifetime, the kind of peak that never comes again. Datascience in the middle of '10 was a very special time and place to be a part of. But no explanation, no mix of words or histogram or memories could touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive, in that corner of time in the world, whatever it meant.

There was madness in any direction, at any hour, you could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.

And that, I think, was the handle. That sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense, we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum, we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.

So, now, less than five years later, you can go on a steep hill in Buzzwordvill and look west. And with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the High Water Mark. That place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

NSEInfo: a tool to easily search through the 500+ nmap's NSE scripts

If a situation arose where you could find something on Google, would you refrain from searching it? What about an online public government-run database? What about reddit? What about Facebook? Where do you draw the line?

The courts have already answered this question for a different audience: the police. There is already a rich legal body of knowledge and practice that governs where and when searches are appropriate. That should be the minimum baseline for mental health professionals. If a police officer, a person trained and vetted by the legal system to detect threats and use (up to lethal) force to end them cannot access this data, there is no way that some damn civilian should have access. If you want access, get a court order, just like a police officer, just like a state attorney. No court order? Fuck right off.

In your case, I can easily see a judge saying that the person in question is legally mandated to turn over social media accounts for some period of time as a condition of their sentence or parole.
I think you have fallen victim to the news. Yes there are a lot of rumblings about things like the OP, but the vast majority of people pass through US customs with no issue. Even as you said. Last time I went to Mexico both my gf and I were searched. When I landed in Brussels last time the immigration officer was really rude to me for no reason. It's not unique to the United States. My view is that your comment, like many other similar comments, are more so about venting outrage at Trump and so this is a convenient straw man (despite the fact that these kinds of policies continued under Obamacare). I'm not saying there aren't horror stories, but they are very few and far between, and much more publicized than getting detained in Thailand for a day because you didn't pay off the customs officer (contrived example). The US is the big target, so everything is exaggerated. I've heard people from Europe say they wouldn't visit the US because they fear for their lives and other things like that too, but again that's because they heard about a school shooting and then assumed New York was a battleground.

Localizing well has a lot of complexity - gender, cardinal, ordinal, etc. rules, and then how to combine them with locale-specific special cases (e.g. in Spanish, a 15-year-old birthday girl is a quinceañera)

Like we used to do in the good old days, before this Web 2.0 craziness, and many comercial apps still do.

Create a small wrapper layer for the supported OSes, which is the option used by most comercial software actually, like Adobe or Office, and many others.

Electron apps basically put the confort of developer in front of the user they are supposed to serve.
I came to say this. Gettext _is_ the right answer, this is a solved problem.
I don't know if you can do it as a preset in V4, but in V3 I have custom profiles for "Locked Down" Nothing, "Expensive Network" Basically a tiny handful of services - NTP, DNS, and web browsing, "Secure" - Allow things like Photo Syncing, and some other MacOs services, and "Wide Open" - allow pretty much anything that looks reasonably kosher.

That's trivial to do with little snitch.
You seem to accept "the ends justify the means" on such a deep level. Have you considered that human history on earth is quite brief - and that our level of experience and confidence in our methods are mismatched? Another question would be: why do you have confidence in authorities while their objectives, desires, names, and alliances are opaque?

Many good games are not power fantasy. There is huge category of puzzle games, dating simulators, speed based racing games that are power fantasy only if you extend the definition to cover anything. Angry birds, tetris, card solitaires, candy crush, minecraft to name easy most popular examples.

Non power fantasy does not mean only a game that makes point about the world. It may mean also comedic game or Nintendo like feel good whatever.

No fan of the TSA, but this is a reach. There was another (better) article about this explaining that tightly packed books appear on x-ray scans as big solid opaque blobs. This makes it difficult to distinguish them from chemical material.

The TSA has 1001 ways to harass you for whatever they want, and that sucks. This won't make that situation any better. That said, I'm tired of "speculative journalism" pieces that attempt to paint the worst possible scenario imaginable in order to raise people's fear level or (in this case perhaps) to gin up donations from supporters.

Aren't people supposed to just require the dependencies in package.json and not distribute the large blob of code? And you run "npm install"? Isn't that the current web dev "way" of life...?
I would also argue metal was never mainstream. The mainstream was always further takes on pop, which to an increasing degree draws from all the others innovating, if in a moderately expressed way. Listen to mainstream popular music now and you can often find some of the intensity extreme metal explored.
Ah, right, I might have misunderstood you there. This is a bit of a special case though, as the preprocessor for C++03 messes up the code so badly that a later parser trips, and it never even gets to the pass that resolves identifiers because a critical error is raised before. Maybe then the preprocessor could emit warnings when replacing tokens it knows to be keywords in later standard versions. It likely isn't that easy, though, as emitting helpful warnings would probably require parsing some of the surrounding code, which hasn't happened yet, so the potential for false positives is large.

Vendoring packages doesn't mean vendoring in git. Vendoring in git is a terrible idea (which for some absurd reason the golang community has decided isn't...). It pollutes your tree, your history, your blames, your searches, makes your git repository massive, etc etc.

Node would be even worse.
That makes sense and I appreciate the thoughtful response. The one thing I'd say is that it seems like those types of comments tend to be accepted as long as they align with popular opinion around here. Snark and polemical swipes (I had to Google "polemical" :D) seem to be fairly common. It's understandable - it's difficult to see bad faith when the message is agreeable. It'd be pretty easy to pick out comments in this discussion that align with popular opinion, have a similar tone to anothercomment's, but are unmoderated. Being more lenient on "agreeable trolling" has just as much of a destructive effect and reinforces echo chambers.
The clarinet industry went through a similar decline. Seems like people just don't want to pick up the old liquorice stick.
TerichDB is an experimental repo. We'll take it private to avoid confusion. Thanks for pointing this out.

Regarding the license of our products: the core of TerarkDB is a plug-in for RocksDB. It is loaded as a dynamic library for librocksdb.so and compliant with RocksDB’s license. All the code related to MongoDB/MySQL is open source (We use MongoRocks and MyRocks).

Making the core algorithms open source is a dilemma for us. At this stage, as a young startup, keeping the core algorithms proprietary gives us leverage on the valuation and insulates us from potential competitors. But this is something we may reconsider in the future in order to facilitate a wider adoption of our products.

It's a big debate, even for us internally. If anyone else here has been facing the same dilemma, we'd love to hear about your opinion, what you chose in the end and how things turned out.

> I found that the real issue was not this particular group of 12 chemicals. Most of them are already being heavily restricted. This dozen is meant to illuminate something bigger: a broken system that allows industrial chemicals to be used without any significant testing for safety.

I think this is the real take-away. How many times have we found a particular Chemical X to be harmful, only to have it replaced by something whose hazards are less known rather than known to be lower just so that things could be marked "Chemical X-free"? Look at the replacement of saturated fats with trans fats, for example.
