5 Cloud Business Intelligence Solutions to Enhance Your Work Performance – IQVIS
Hi Lathiat. Why do you need to disconnect from the current network? I can think of many alternatively implementations which would meet most requirements that have been proposed, like turning the wifi back on when the battery is charging or at 5am. All the proposals involve compromises, but it seems much easier to make a notice that clearly says "Wifi will reconnect at 5am" then to say "Wifi is still using your battery, but we've disconnected from the current network". I mean, the message itself fits in the same space as the current message, and the icon itself could have a timer band counting down till 5am so you know that it's only temporarily disabled. (I too have accidentally used up all my month's data because I left the wifi off for a few days. It's not nice. I'd appreciate a feature which deals with it. But this one is unpredictable, unreadable and confusing.)

Also, are you proposing that low power mode with wifi uses the same amount of power as lower power mode without wifi? If I know I'm not going to see a power point for many hours, I turn my phone onto low power mode and turn wifi off (and the brightness right down and some other things). I might do it as I leave the house in the morning when I still have 95% battery. In these cases, I very often need my phone most in precisely when the battery will be weakest.
> how is it cheaper to have warehousing run by your sellers

When you think about the people selling on Amazon's platform as "partners" then your point is very valid. When you think about those other sellers as "competitors" then this strategy makes a lot more sense.

A lot of third parties have complained that they joined Amazon's platform, did well, but then had an "AmazonBasics" version of their product turn up, under-cut them, and appear at the top of rankings squeezing the original product out.

For example, search on Amazon for "Ladder Golf." Top ranked result and "Amazon Choice" is an AmazonBasics set for $26.99, added in May 2016, with only 51 reviews. The second result, by GoSports, has 748 reviews, has sold since October 2012, but for $49.99. You'll note that Amazon's product added four years after GoSport's product has a strikingly similar design.

My point is, this is what Amazon does. It waits for sellers to do well, clones their product, and then competes with them on price (which Amazon can due to its sheer scale). You could legitimately argue customers benefit from lower prices, which is undeniable, but customers also benefit from a competitive marketplace. Once Amazon has no competition they can increase prices again.

PS - I have absolutely no association with any of the products or companies listed above. I picked "Ladder Golf" as an example as a lot of people don't realise AmazonBasics has expanded well beyond electronics/cables/batteries into things like toys, household goods, garden supplies, and so on...
Is Amazon actually doing delivery with their own people, or are they just rebranding and reselling something?
Hey folks! bengotow here—the linux version is /almost/ ready, though the debian and rpm packages above should work. I'm working with some folks at Canonical to get the app packaged as a Snap (Snapcraft.io) so that Linux users will finally get autoupdates and I can ship a single format to everyone. Back when I worked on Nylas Mail, we had a ton of trouble with Linux because users would download a .deb or .rpm and then never update it, so I was hoping to stop distributing those entirely.

Feel free to grab the version from the link above, just come back and switch to the auto-updating snap when it's ready!

You're misrepresenting what the person you're replying to said.

You can check facts the exact same way we've been doing for many years - find corroborating sources, view first hand evidence (and no, you don't need to do this in person), look for analysis from trusted sources etc etc.

Even if a newspaper claims to do fact-checking or is somehow legally obligated to do fact-checking, that's absolutely no guarantee that it's facts are accurate or free from bias.
Can't you just turn off wifi's promiscuous mode?

I forget all wifi points except for any place I regularly go. LTE is good enough for cafes and the like.
If you are throwing away your tired-brain code a week later, godspeed. Do what you like. But if you are checking in that code and making other people deal with it, then quality becomes much more important. If you write 1200 lines of code instead of 800, then you have something that has 50% more maintenance cost and 50% more bugs. (And it's probably worse given that you were tired and thinking with a short-term mindset.) So hell yes, it matters to me whether my coworkers are putting long-term value above short-term incentives.

> I'm just tired of everyone being absolutely fascinated by this idea that resting is better than not resting. Isn't that just obvious?

It is not in fact obvious. So many places reward time spent more than quality work. Just today at a meetup we were talking about how to shift people away from damaging and expensive heroics to investing in not creating such big problems that you need work-all-night heroes. The industry is notorious for death marches and work-all-the-time startups. And it's also notorious for buggy, low-productivity, high-tech-debt code bases and giant rewrites caused by years of accumulated short-term thinking.

If it's obvious to you, skip over the articles. Not everything has to be for you.
At FastMail we’re hoping to implement snooze next year, as a first-party solution that doesn’t need the support of a client or third-party server.

There is no established convention or standard for representing snooze over IMAP. There’s not yet any consensus on how to represent it in JMAP, the emerging standard that we’re backing (and which our web UI will be using fairly soon), either. It’ll be a FastMail-specific JMAP extension at first, but it could well be standardised (though not in the core spec) after that. We’ll see how things go.

Art of conducting, or how to create a great software
Hey folks! Just to be clear, Mailspring does /not/ send your email credentials to the cloud - all the mail sync is done locally, and your passwords are stored in your system keychain / keyring. I spent a good chunk of time re-implementing things like snooze and send later to work without a backend server.

That's actually mentioned a few sentences before the quote above in that GitHub issue ;-) The Mailspring ID stores metadata for things like read receipts and link tracking, but that's pretty much it!
I looked at some exemplary Wix sites since I rarely ever encounter these.

The ones they identify as "stunning" seem to be mostly devoid of text and are mainly images and videos.

As others in this thread have noted is common on today's web, they use json endpoints. Some sites also have an optional XML feed activated at /feed.xml.

Viewing the images and videos is possible without any use of Javascript. Simply extract the image and video urls and their descriptions from the json.

Below I only demonstrate how to extract the text, as html.
One could view this html in a browser, without Javascript.

> The way this works in iOS 11 is now inconsistent and confusing

I really don't see how the apologists can deny this.

In iOS every UI control to toggle something on or off toggles things on or off... They all have the same UI presentation, and shows the same affordances, leading the user to expect the same behaviour.

And that they have. Everywhere except for wifi. Who in their right mind though this was a good idea?

How is it possible to argue this inconsistency is not a source of confusion?

I can't wait for my next flight, to hear how the in-flight personnel are going to explain this to Apple users.

"If you have electrical equipment with a radio transmitter, please turn it off now. If you have a Note 8, please let us know now, so we won't have to call the bomb-squad. And lastly if you have an wifi-only iPad running iOS 11, please make sure you turn wifi off using the special settings app because flight-mode doesn't work".

This is getting ridiculous. I bet the airliners are really happy about this change.
ugh ... ontrac deliveries are always late and always results in calls to my phone asking where my house is or something else.

PyTorch, Theano (rip), TensorFlow itself, Numba/Blaze?
Yeah, I was around then.

Long distance calls were expensive because they were trying to pay off billions of dollars of basic infrastructure - the phone network that we're only now replacing nearly half a century later. Those fancy exchanges that the phreakers were exploiting? Those had to be invented, prototyped, tested, mass produced, installed, maintained... and that's not even considering tens of thousands of kilometers of telephone wires and poles, negotiating land rights, etc.

We only think of long distance communication as being next-to-free today because our information tech is already bootstrapped, computers are a billion times more powerful, and the market across which those costs are amortized are at least a million times bigger.

Hey! Mailspring maintainer here—the app doesn't support plaintext emails (at least not out of the box), but it's likely we'll add support in the future.

A lot of the features in the app, like read receipts and link tracking, are targeted at sales and business folks that send a lot of email and care about it being read. You can use the app without using them though! Unlike Nylas Mail, Mailspring implements all mail sync on your computer - your email credentials are not sent to the cloud and things like "unsnoozing" happen on your machine, not on a server. (Note that for many people, this is actually a /bad/ thing - if enough folks complain we might add the cloud sync stuff as an opt-in!)
I see this trainwreck going on in food, too.

Like, Paleo and Keto are good things, they really are, I agree with what their tenants are. Together, it is simply don't eat grains, don't eat refined sugars, don't eat legumes, don't eat shitty oils; eat meat, real vegs, some fruit, use coconut oil and olive oil and lard... but with 30g of carbs a day and a slant towards high fat.

Where it goes wrong? The words Keto and Paleo on the product packaging (beyond the fact that "product packaging" usually means it isn't Paleo to begin with), and merely slapping the words on products skyrockets the price.

The diets themselves aren't snake oil, but the bullshit peddlers showed up to derail Keto and Paleo for their own profit.

Measuring the world around you can be fun and humorous, especially when you are measuring with a peculiar reference object like a kid's shoe.

I find games of math with kids are most interesting when the adult is on a level playing field and doesn't "hold back" effort. In addition to measurement, games of sorting, spacial analysis, numismatics, and cultivating a favorite number can be fun.

In the 1970's, Hasbro made a game called "Something Fishy" which involved solving a spacial problem of fitting plastic sardines in to a tin can.

Many kids love to count money and learn about the different types of money, and calculate value. Be careful, as they may also be crafty enough to keep the money at the end of the game. The best ending is going to the store and letting them pay.

"The Book of Think: Or How to Solve a Problem Twice Your Size" may be a source of inspiration, as may "Brown Paper School book: Math for Smarty Pants".

Do you have a favorite number? Do you have a favorite shape? Did you know 7 is the scariest number?

I believe an early love of math often stems from a love of numbers, the thought that numbers are your friends. One great game to cultivate this friendliness is to simply go out in to the world and look for a complete set of numbers from 1..20 or so together. Numbers are all around.
That's awful, I'm sorry to see that. The haze problem was one of the main reasons I left Singapore. It's no way to live, no way to raise children. In 2013 I remember there was a street where a lot of birds died mid-flight from suffocation on the smoke, fell to the ground and littered the pavement.

It's just sad to see a problem like this, all caused by human activity. It could be stopped but not much is being done to do so.
My thought was the WiFi icon should turn into a progress indicator to show that its snoozing, maybe like how apps show they are installing by graying it out in a circular sweep.

This is called using a KEK (key encryption key) to encrypt a DEK (data encryption key) or a FEK (file encryption key), depending on the exact purpose.

As you point out, erasure can rotate keys. What Apple apparently didn't provide was a straightforward way for key rotation as a key management function. This surely appears to have been rushed to market.
Not to sound negative but I think games are inherently mathematical. Any creativity based on rules can be abstracted into some mathematical concept.

When will people realize that it is not just the number of neurons but the structure of brain that makes it what it is.

I have often wondered what gives these people (the visionaries with the means, think Musk) the arrogance to impose their vision on humanity. It is one thing to work on something you believe and try to bring it in reality, it is quite another to believe one can lead the world to follow some particular path. They may be working with an incredible tunnel vision or may be I am unable to comprehend the scale at which they operate.
Yes. Apple used to be about empowering people. That's what ease of use was about. You can keep doing the same thing and you get the same result, but when you're ready you can finally press that button you've always ignored. You'll discover something new which you might want to undo. But that's fine too, because it's clear and obvious how to.

This meant they got a reputation for building easy-to-use tools.

This meant they got a reputation for building things for people who want their stuff to just work.

This meant that they believed their role should be to remove things that are ugly or powerful, hiding features.

This means that they're no longer building easy-to-use tools. You don't know what your phone is going to do any more. You can't predict if wifi is off or not. There's two ways to turn wifi off, one of them doesn't work. One of them allegedly works. There's no way to know this without reading documentation or relying on word of mouth.

There's a good reason to want wifi to only be pseudo-off, but there's other ways they could have implemented this feature that would have been empowering. They opted for this one not because it's the right option, but because they've given up on the spirit that made them great in the first place.

RTFM. It's the new motto of the Apple apologist. Soon we'll be saying "next year will be the year of Apple on the desktop".
