Hey guys,

I've created this beer dashboard with the intention of providing a sleek web application that displays fun data while also being reactive and animating well.

You are able to filter the list of beers shown using the search inputs. You can also filter by beer categories too.

It uses Angular5 and Rxjs Observables to make the dashboard dynamic and reactive to new datasets.

You are also able to generate a random beer if your stuck for an idea.

I would love some feedback!
For the user experience level they were designing towards, workspaces would have been a recipe for "I broke my computer, all my work is gone" support calls on a constant basis.

For users that can't grasp that minimized windows become icons on their desktop or that directories can themselves contain directories, having everything switch to a new workspace will look to them identically to either one of an "I just broke it" or "It just deleted/erased/destroyed everything I was working on" result (and which result occurs depends upon whether they blame themselves or the machine as the cause).

Sadly, the result is that us advanced users, who do understand workspaces and can make productive use of them, were left without them being available until win10.
Musk has actually said that he expects BFR to be cheaper to fly than their original Falcon 1 ... meaning prices in the $5-10M range, as opposed to $60+M for F9.

SEC Chief Clayton: 'Every ICO I've Seen Is a Security'
I measure my life in a very abstract way. How much my existence is positive or negative to the world and to the people around me. Can I make people around me happier / have better lifes? How much of an environmental footprint am I creating?
These are all impossible things to measure and I know that I might even contradict myself in how a feel about some of the things that I do but for me it's good enough for me to know what direction I would like to be heading.
I called this when Snap introduced self serve ads. Since then I've been seeing a bunch of insurance/debt ads that are obviously affiliate campaigns.

Like it or not, this is how FB bootstrapped their ads business (acai berry anyone?), and Snap is smart to capture the long tail of self-serve advertisers.

macOS has Hide & HideOthers in addition to Minimize. I go weeks at a time without using minimize because of those.

IMO there's a whole generation of people who did their early computing on MS Windows (including myself) and so internalised that that is how GUIs are "supposed to work". When moving to something else later in life there's a feeling that it is "wrong", but it (e.g macOS)'s way of doing things is also correct and is just a divergent evolution to MS Windows. Research, open-mindedness and experimentation are necessary when using something different.
Even better, on Windows 3.1 a minimized program could draw to its "icon" (it's actually a tiny window). For instance, a minimized clock could still show the current time. That was one of the things lost with the Windows 95 UI changes.

And don't forget MDI, best shown by the Windows 3.1 Program Manager: a MDI program would have several inner windows within it, and each of these inner windows could be resized, moved, minimized or maximized, all within the boundaries of the main program window.
Meaning that they didn't launch at the right time to arrive at Mars, due to where Mars is in its orbit currently. It'll pass through the imaginary circle around the sun which is Mars' orbit, it's just that Mars will at a different part of the orbit at that time.

But actually, it seems they decided to just empty the tanks and get as much delta-v as possible, and it'll go all the way into the asteroid belt as a result.
Similarly, there's tmate which sets up a shared tmux session and proxies the SSH connection so it works through NAT without issue. If you don't trust the connection going through tmate.io you can set up your own server.
Sometimes electronics can be surprisingly sturdy. The only case when I've had my computer emit the magic blue smoke was when I first connected my homemade fan rpm regulator. After I replaced one of the wires where the shielding had partially melted away, and fixed my circuit, everything worked as if nothing had happened.
Hell, Snap never even picked up in Europe, as a result of its strong bias against Android and heavy marketing focus on US colleges, cities and events.
How to troubleshoot applications running on Kubernetes
They tried, but exposing a "simple USB mass storage" isn't easy at all from a running operating system. USB mass storage requires exposing a block device with a filesystem, which is error-prone and complex. This is why file-based protocols like MTP exist.

But, since you can SSH into the device, rsync works just fine on the Remarkable. :)
Stackful coroutines are trivial to implement on Windows---it supports "fibers" natively.
The book, "How Will You Measure Your Life," by Clayton Christensen is easily on my list of Top 5 Most Important books, I cannot recommend it enough.

Interestingly, Kent seems to have focused in on hygiene-motivation factors more than anything else, while the large takeaway I brought from the book is more about relationships than money/freetime options. While it is important to be locally maximizing the balance of those two, I found the message of the book to be about focusing outward, more away from one's self and career, and more towards others in ways that you can positively effect them.

Not saying at all that the content is wrong (because it's not, it's a fun engineering way of looking at it), but for those curious it also represents a subset of the book.
> Running the latest version of 10 it still feels very unfinished which I hope Microsoft intend to do something about.

Might depend on what particular parts of the OS you come across. I use Win10 on my work notebook [1] and besides the long startup times [2], I haven't noticed anything "unfinished". In fact, Windows very subjectively feels more polished than macOS which I used before (until December).

Then again, I don't use much of it: I only run Firefox, Slack, Outlook, and VirtualBox where the actual work is going on in a Linux VM.

[1] Probably not the "latest" version though. I get to use whatever our corporate update server hands out.

[2] Compared to my private Linux machines. macOS also took several minutes from turning on the machine to everything having fully settled in.
Know what you're talking about. Since I've switched back to Linux I can't imagine working without workspaces - each one dedicated for specific task/app - and every time staying with specific order so e.g. 1 workspace: Browser, 2nd: Code editor, 3rd: Terminal, 4th: File explorers etc. I used to it so much that I automatically use shortcuts to access it immediately - switching between minimized windows using alt + tab keys is a nightmare.
Trello/Asana-Killer: Stop Killing TIME, Because TIME Will Kill You
Hello,

I have developed a simple tool for myself to manage all my time and all my projects ( while working, studying or anything else ). I have used it for more than 2 years and it helped me to boost my productivity, focus and motivation.

It basically tracks our TIME ( WASTED TIME and PRODUCTIVE TIME ) and how we spend it on your life/business/school/... projects

This is the MVP:

VIDEO 2: https://youtu.be/pwUqNbNLCFw

VIDEO 3: https://youtu.be/BlBiHjqj2N4

HOW IT WORKS:

* WASTED TIME: When you open the tool, then it will start to track the wasted time until you click START on a project page. You will be much more motivated to not procastinate by seeing your Wasted Time.
* PRODUCTIVE TIME: As it say, it tracks the productive time
* TODO: the to do list
* DONE: the list of task completed
* GOALS: the list of your goals for that project
* Key Performance Indicators ( KPI ): In simple terms, KPIs provide a way to measure how well projects, companies, business units or individuals are performing in relation to their strategic goals and objectives.
https://www.google.com/search?q=what+are+kpi
* NOTE: Any note about the project.
* LINK: Any useful link useful for that project

Just select a project and press START to start the timer or the pomodoro timer

if you are interested write "interested" below or send me a private message or promote this post. If at least 1000 people are interested, I will release if for FREE!

Thanks for your TIME :D
>"directory" doesn't describe the way the UI appears to behave

That rather begs the question though, doesn't it? To a nontechnical user, the ship has sailed - everyone calls them "folders", the icons are ubiquitously pictures of file folders, and it would be terribly confusing to try and change it now. That doesn't mean it was the right choice though. I could imagine a world where the icons were little phone books, and the concept of a hard link didn't require a half-hour explanation.
The link you gave is indeed to view the source. It is not, however, an open source license, as characterized by the OSI or DFSG, nor free software as characterized by FSF.

Here is the license - https://referencesource.microsoft.com/license.html . It contains obviously non-open source clauses like:

> "Reference use" means use of the software within your company as a reference, in read only form, for the sole purposes of debugging your products, maintaining your products, or enhancing the interoperability of your products with the software, and specifically excludes the right to distribute the software outside of your company.

Microsoft agrees that (quoting from a quote in my earlier comment) "the source code was available since Rotor but we didn’t use an OSI approved open source license, which made Rotor a non-starter".

Like I said, I know little about this topic. However, I think you do not understand what open source means.

I'm pretty sure that when woolvalley used the phrase "It has been for the longest time been a closed source MSFT only thing", that "closed source" meant "not open source according to OSI or similar guidelines." Not "available in source code form", which is what you seem to think it means.

It depends on the definition of 'at the same time', but I think that many people in a work environment at the very least use an e-mail client and a productivity application at the same time. Also throw in a calendar for good measure.

I think that Apple thought that many regular users would switch to full screen apps on the Mac, combined with Launchpad (it's just like an iPad/iPhone). But virtually all non-tech-savvy Mac users that I know do not use Launchpad, nor fullscreen apps.

I think the problem with Launchpad as with Spotlight search [1] is that they are not very discoverable on the Mac. Having search in an application menu (like recent Windows versions and some Linux desktops) is far more discoverable.

I guess people don't use fullscreen apps because they equate desktops/laptops to the 'WIMP' interface paradigm.

[1] If I received a penny every time I see even experienced Mac users launch applications by clicking on a Dock icon or by navigating to the Applications folder in Finder, rather than using Spotlight, I would be rich.

Seems like you are confusing what technical people call a hacker with what journalist calls a hacker. The hacker used here is a person who thinkers and makes changes, what journalists calls a hacker is called cracker in that context. A car hack will be to make it work more the way you want it to, a car crack will be to take control and damage it or others with it
This is just as bad as Chrome's own store for packaged web apps. It's funny how they even say in the beginning that progressive web apps don't need to be packaged...but let's do it anyway, because we love lock-in!
What I personally don't like about IRC is that you basically have to be online all the time (or at least have some bouncer)...

Otherwise you can't scroll up and read what's going on, if there are people already talking about something.

Also this creates to long lists of idlying people, so you can't really have an overview of who's really online there.

Could you explain how this works? I assumed that's what the HTTP interface setting was, but I couldn't see this documented anywhere. I really don't like the Windows and Android app so this would be a nice alternative.
Cut & Paste is (was?) dangerous btw. Windows could lose your files:

1. Cut a file.

2. Paste it somewhere.

3. Hit control Z.

4. Cry because your file is gone.

But it seems I cannot reproduce that in the current build of Windows anymore. So I think they finally fixed it.
They should use the Y shortcut, available on gitlab & github, to convert their links to mutable master instead to a link to that immutable commit

Ads often have something like this attached to the end:

load("https://adserver/track.gif?{stuff}&_=" + Math.random())

My ad server collected multiple tracking pixels -- for various events and after five pixels I could fingerprint the browser (Firefox, Chrome, MSIE, etc) and identify someone fiddling with the user agent string, or using a proxy server to mask this information.

I got the Kobo Aura One which is 7.8 inch. Kobo has nice integration with the Pocket bookmarking app. Does anyone else have the Kobo Aura One and have opinions on it? I'm happy enough with it so far but not sure if it was quite value for money.
"Back in the days when the Rogoff/Reinhardt “government debt/GDP in excess of 90% is really really bad” was taken seriously, the CBO produced a forecast showing that Federal debt to GDP reached 89.8% by 2022, enough to give the deficit hawks plenty of grist. But Tom Ferguson and Rob Johnson pointed out in a 2010 paper that the CBO had neglected to net out financial assets. If you did that, it took the debt/DGP ratio to a lever that the scaremongers could not depict as troublesome, 82%."

(https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/07/cbo-still-pushing-de...)

Oh look. They "forgot" not net out financial assets in a way that conveniently providid deficit hawks more 'useful' data. That's A) deceptive? or B) not deceptive? You tell me.

For the Fed their strong objections to the audit and the long series of absolutely bullshit reasons they gave in an attempt to prevent it and the data that was subsequently revealed when those objections failed paint a pretty clear picture of whose side they were really on. It was the banks that wanted that audit prevented and the data was embarrassing for them because it revealed the true extent of their bailouts.

So yeah, both institutions align ideologically with those big bank economists whom you just told me you don't trust. You're familiar with the idea of "regulatory capture" I presume? Well, dig slightly below the surface of the output of these two institutions and it gets revealed in all of its nasty glory.

I have no doubt that their ideological bias could be shifted if the center of power in Washington moved, however. The CBO and Fed could be made impartial and objective, but the idea that they are right now is laughable.

>I read your original comment as saying that we should have gone to the unions as our sole source of economic advice. I think that's a terrible idea.

I've no doubt a lot of people think that. People who would see their power diminished and those who consume their tasty kool aid alike. The fact remains that the economy is built upon people who work - rather than own - for a living and that is who unions represent. Banks represent the opposite.

When this used to be more predominant (e.g. the 1950s), the economy was performing considerably better than it is now, and if you think that the actual policy reaction to the 2008 crisis was in any way appropriate you are either smoking some heavy shit or a beneficiary.
I don't know if it is good to love your job. Anything that you do professionally has a tendency to get boring after a time. If you're working for someone else, that also constitutes a blow to your happiness.

I think finding a sustainable balance should be sought after when looking for a job. Does the job let you disconnect? Does the job feel satisfying to you? Do you like the office environment? How much does it pay? And how does this job affect your career?

If you have sufficient money, you can quit at any time and find a suitable less-demanding (both physically and psychologically) job.

I like to think that, I can provide value to a company. If they don't appreciate that and try to take advantage of me without compensation I am always free to look for better opportunities.

Once I did an internship working crazy hours. The people I worked with also worked non-stop. A couple of them slept in the office, a guy slept in the gym. Everyone there was telling us to evaluate our options, think carefully before committing to that firm. And we were thinking that once we got in, our lives would be on hold for the next 10 years. While we were discussing this in the middle of the night another employee looked at us and said "You can quit at any time. See this job as an opportunity to learn things while making good money. Once you stop working, they take the firm cellphone away. All notifications stop. Everything will be back to normal." That talk stuck with me. Whatever the circumstances are a job is a means to make some money. You are free and nobody's slave.
I bought this book, and he graciously provides it online.

It's put together well. I just haven't read it throughly, buy it's a keeper.

I just opened the book, and happened to see a motherboard. It was a VW board, and I saw this,

"In their paper, the researchers analyzed the algorithm and reported on the vulnerabilities they found, though the actual exploit was apparently not trivial and there were much easier ways to steal a car with a Megamos system. Nevertheless, the research was placed under a gag order, and the findings weren’t made public. Unfortunately, the problem with Megamos still exists, and it’s still insecure—the gag order simply prevents vehicle owners from determining their risk because the research isn’t publicly available. This is a prime example of how the auto industry should not respond to security research."

1. Ironic the board is made by VW.

2. We need to see all that information.

3. This was just a paper of a few security bugs.

4. My point is I don't want to be tied to a Dealership for the life of "my" vechicle when it gets sick.. I don't want to pay $220/hr to Reflash "my" vechicle.

5. And their will be those that get this post here, but I know the general public just cares about looks, and cup holders. As a kid, I knew most people didn't care about double overhead cams, etc.

6. A vechicle is a huge purchase for most of us. We shouldn't be locked out of anything we own. Can trust wireless attacker with the information; don't use wireless technology in your Vechicle.

7. I really wish Toyota who start manufacturing late 70-80's, simple trucks, and cars again. We want simplicity. Or, many of us want Simplicity.

8. Rant over. Key in off position, and and in pocket. Can't loose it--a replacement key is $350. I just don't get it. But then again I'm very unhappy lately. I sometimes think I need to attach the Jumper cables to by temples, and get a little shock. Amperage is not enough, or too high. Don't want to know.
Why not just use it with a case-sensitive file system? Did it break some application you were relying on?
I use ShiftIt (https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt), and ctrl+alt+cmd+M maximizes the window just like you expect.
1. The problem isn't the transport layer, it's the application layer. The transport layer is mostly solved via MQTT, COAP, Thread, etc. Sure, we can improve there, but the real problem is the application layer. So I applaud Mozilla's attempt to bring something into this space.

+1 to CoAP, cause MQTT is an insecure hack.

2. Bootstrapping this will require a substantial number of hardware vendors to sign on, both at the edge and at the hub layers. IMHO this is why Google Weave [1] never took off in it's original incarnation. Bootstrapping this like they did with web stuff isn't enough, because this isn't the web.

+1 Check out Oauth.

3. Devices are only part of the problem: We need a software services layer, too. Think time services, IFTTT-like orchestrators, media services, etc.

Sounds to me like a good start up proposition!

4. JSON is a non-starter long-term: it sucks for small devices. They need a binary format that is easy to parse.

RFC7049

5. Request-Response isn't the right pattern for most use cases.

-1 Wrong.

6. The Property/Action/Event concept is a solid start.

W3C WoT Thing Description.

7. For the love of everything holy, add versioning!

That could be a factor. Casual office clothes (closely related to post 90s tech culture) probably halves apparel costs for a lot of people. In a suit and tie company, the average person probably buys 2 suits and a half dozen shirts/ties pa, in addition to their casual clothes.
