It's done! Winamp2-js (https://jordaneldredge.com/projects/winamp2-js/) finally supports all three windows!

To celebrate, here's a list of some of the cool things it can do: (thread)
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DVcfDHBVQAAp3Tm?format=png

* Load any classic Winamp skin just by dragging it onto the main window. (Shoutout to @stuk for JSZip which lets us decompress .wsz files in the browser. (link: https://stuk.github.io/jszip/)

* Select/drag tracks to reorder them.
https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/961272499219587072/pu/v...

* "Double" mode (ctrl+d) makes the main and EQ windows twice as big.

Getting all of this to work entirely in the browser has been a great challenge, and I've learned a lot. Thanks to @The_DoctorO for being an invaluable source of insider information. Thanks to @LuigiHann for catching many small places where I hand't perfectly recreated Winamp's handling of skins. Thanks to @ja2ke for the original retweet which I believe kicked this whole thing off more than three years ago. And of course, thanks to @JustinFrankel. ‍️

Actually, they will hit that in 9 years if they can sustain their current growth rate. It'll take 15 years at half their current growth rate.
Agreed. It's a fact of life that Electron will become increasingly popular. If every discussion of an app that uses Electron degenerates into snarky comments about Electron, the opportunity for a valuable conversation about the app itself is wasted.

Do you really think that it would work to avoid to someone grab the necessary components to build a cheap drone ?

What must criminalise is the components to make drones a weapon. Aka, EXPLOSIVES and WEAPONS. And restrict access to chemicals to make explosives.

And this would not work when the guys building it, are living on anarchy place where the effective law are made by they.

You should, and it's called steeling.

There's a foil edge on very sharp knives that will wrinkle and fold after use on anything, even tomatoes, making the knife feel dull. It's not, and it doesn't require removing metal as with grinding or sharpening, but you can steel to realign that edge or strop to hone it depending on the blade and angle. Even if you don't work with blades often, you've probably seen this depicted in media.

It really doesn't matter what the cutting surface is to the knife if you have great technique. Since I don't always, I use thin, flexible plastic barriers. I would never recommend wood outside of having no other choices or using it as part of presentation, mainly because of cross contamination and difficulty in sanitizing if you cook sous vide or serve raw often.
Time to build that EMP-surviving car I've been dreaming of – one that can run even with all its electronics (except sparks) burnt out, falling back on mechanical timing and such!

Good point. Not to mention a radiologist bills separately from the procedure. I have a $1M antenna near field scanner at work. It looks just like a CT scanner, but I don’t bill $6k per use, then another $1k on top to process the measurements. It’s capital equipment, and I bought it since it saves measurement time, which allows me to take in more work. What a load.

When we had our first kid, my wife had a “fun scan” done. A fancy 3D color ultrasound. It was $120 for a 1/2 hour session. Same diagnostic ultrasound cost $1000 on a much older machine, same person running it.

There was an article on here a couple of years ago about cheap, hand held ultrasound. I was downvoted for saying youl’ll never see it in use.

Sorry but I'm gonna rain on your parade here.

DBVisualizer already runs on Windows/Mac/Linux, connects to more databases, and implements just about every feature you're currently working on, plus all the ones you'll excitedly announce in the next few years -- like exporting data, query parameters, source table editing, charts, result set search, command-line interface, etc.

https://www.dbvis.com/features/

Your screenshots show so much wasted whitespace... timestamps that line wrap = half as many rows fit on the screen. Tons of unused space in the 'instagram_id' column.

A while back I used DatabaseSpy, which was also much more feature-rich than your tool. https://www.altova.com/databasespy

No relation to either tool, just a customer/user.

>after paying the lavish benefits, pensions, etc. which federal employees receive.

Federal benefits are not that lavish on an international scale. You get things that are considered human rights in other countries and a good pension.

And while the benefits may cost the government more in the long wrong, the subcontractor is still taking a profit off what they're paying developers. I'd rather tax dollars go to the actual worker than some corporation.

>Furthermore, most government projects are only a few years long. The government uses contractors because they can get rid of the dev teams when they're finished with the project. Can't do that with gov workers.

That's part of the problem though. If you're on a contract, you know you're expendable. You have no skin in the game other than doing the bare minimum to not get fired because the actual client (the government) is several layers removed from you.

And getting rid of contractors after you're done with them doesn't really add up to software. For one, many contractors work as contractors for years, moving from project to project. You can do the exact same thing in-house. Groups like 18F and USDS mean that you can move employees around as necessary.
No. Fuck that. He is a thief, plain and simple.
Finally an article that dips into Elbakyan's worldview and motivations. I _hate_ the typical lazy coverage which projects American "civil rights hero" stereotype on her. She isn't, she is borderline crazy person (that is, self-proclaimed "communist" supporting Putin's crony capitalism) with no fear of consequences and with incentives aligned with the majority of scientific community. It can be made into a _much_ richer and personal story than your typical "fight the man" trope, but most journalists can't be bothered.
Self-publications and 'gray literature' are generally deemed worthless and often even considered to contribute a large amount of negative value to a CV. To put things simple, you'll loose your job.

Their are limits on what people are willing to do so their company will thrive. His actions happened to cross the line for many people as well as the law.

As to giving money away, when someone is still one of the richest persons to ever live their past donations while valuable are no real sacrifice. I respect the effort he has put into being effective with his givings vastly more than the vast quantities of wealth he has donated.

> Moreover, in reality the choice is usually between a villain "who wants to buy his way into heaven" and a villain who doesn't give a fuck. I'll take the former over the latter any time, because forever-saints with lots of money generally do not happen.

Indeed. There's also an immense difference between doing a genuinely good act for self-serving reasons (ie getting into heaven), and masquerading a self-interest as a noble good, meaning the act will have tangible negative effects, in conflict with its image.

What I mean is that "buying your way into heaven" and being a saint with tons of money doesn't have any meaningful difference. It doesn't matter if I build wells and schools in a third world country for instantaneous euphoria or for delayed euphoria through praise or for speculated reward in the afterlife.

As long as you're not building the school in order to indoctrinate the children into supporting your plans of world domination, you can and should do good for whatever reasons you want.
If your shareholders are VCs who have board seats, they want to escape even more than you do. So from their POV at least, shutting down the company or doing an HR acquisition would be fine.

If one of your cofounders has always longed to run the company, you could quit and let him/her take over.

You can probably morph what you're doing more than you realize. You can morph a startup into practically anything. GOAT, the sneaker marketplace, started as a group dinner service called GrubWithUs. As long as your dislike of your coworkers has not hardened, you can keep searching for new ideas.

But he is a villain trying to buy his way into heaven and I'm not willing to give Bill Gates the "Machiavellian" benefit of the doubt and say that his means justified his end achievements.

Furthermore, I'm really disliking this narrative of "billionaire-turned-good" cause now he feels bad for some reason. This is the same thing Donald Trump is doing, so if you don't like it when he does it, why do you like it when Bill Gates does it? Because Bill has a cool reading list? So now you have Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, the Koch brothers, etc etc, all trying to buy a final "positive" public image and leave the world in everyone's good graces after consistently fucking over lots of people over for the majority of their wealth soaked lives.

I'm not buying it.

To my eyes, dbvisualizer and databasespy are never going to have native look and feel on OSX and I’m going to feel like their UI is inferior because of it. Maybe they’re more powerful & established right now especially but I used Sequel Pro when I was using MySQL for the same reason. This tool seems great for people like me who see good OSX experience as table stakes.
I don't think that's entirely the case. It's true that taxi drivers in many markets are seeing less work because of Uber/Lyft, but many many many more people are taking Uber/Lyft than would have been taking taxis otherwise. I and literally everyone I know in SF are prime examples of that. (And I literally mean "literally"; there is not a single person I know for whom this is not the case.) People don't even think about ordering up a Lyft when they need one; they just do it. It's nearly as automatic as breathing. Attempting the painful process of getting a taxi was always pretty low on anyone's list of "reasonable ways to get from point A to point B".

(You can certainly argue that now having all these extra cars on the road is a bad thing, but that's a separate issue.)

I don't think BG feels he or Microsoft did anything wrong, so I agree he in not trying to atone for anything. He is just doing good because he can, and that is great. It is likely he doesn't care what some bitter geeks thinks, since was already considered a hero by larger parts of society on account of being extremely successful. (And non-geek people generally like MS products like Office, especially if they have tried the competition.)

That said, we are still allowed to judge. Just saying "business is business" can justify anything and is akin to saying nothing is unethical as long as you make a profit.

I would also suggest 'The origin of virtue' which has a chapter on money and explains a similar idea based on evolutionary psychology (game theory, altruism, social behavior of apes) - quite fascinating as it connects social narratives with genetic strategies to better replicate.
I disagree. Bill Gates is exactly what the title says, a villain who became a hero.

We also have people who were heroes and stayed heroes. For example, Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman. It's unfortunate that our society values Gates (the converted villain) more highly than Torvalds or Stallman (the hero from the beginning). Or values Jobs more than Wozniak.
I also have something similar. I have to think for a while before I can output what I'm thinking as words.

It's like having to translate it first from some foreign language... Maybe that's why I was always the "smart kid"? I managed to decouple my thinking process from any kind of language? ._.
Been using it for a month now and I love the modern sleek interface. It's very similar to Postico (which is Postgres only unfortunately). One killer feature for me is that you can assign colors to connections. When you open a window this color is prominently displayed at the top, very useful for distinguishing production and dev. ⌘+P command prompt is also supported, like in Sublime Text.
Some nice touches is that you can assign custom icons to connections and that empty space is filled with cute drawings. One thing I miss is that if you don't specify a DB in the connection info, the main window doesn't list all the available DBs, you have to ⌘+K to get the selection panel.

For this purpose I'm separating goverment employees and legislators. While government employees may not know specifically about software, that makes them like most clients. You need PMs and engineers to figure out what to do as the project progresses.

When there's a subcontractor involved though, there's an additional profit motive involved as well as requirements legislators set up to maximize the profit for the subcontractor.

It also means requirements need to be written out in advance and in a way that may not be optimal. When you're working between employees of the same organization, that's a lot less of a problem, at least as long as legislators don't put plenty of hurdles up.
I think it's more 99% of databases are warped horribly to pretend that objects map to tables.

If you throw away the concept that anything in your database has to map to anything in your code base, then you design better databases. Different databases, more to the point.
>>It's essentially a penny stock deception, where the early users who generated the coins for low cost, or free, control the majority of the supply to manipulate the market spot price and than launch marketing campaigns and propaganda in an attempt to convince the uninformed public to buy their software coins.

I'm generally not worried about HTTP connections. Any random hyperlink I click on can produce those. However Ajedi32 made some very good points that being able to MITM HTTP connections can cause lasting issues, even for pages where the user is not intending to download anything, nor enter credentials.
Every time I read arguments like this (the threat of increased cost leading to more automation), I just further believe that some sort of guaranteed basic income is what we need to be moving toward. Ideally in the utopian future we automate "all" jobs away to the point where we have so few jobs compared to the number of people, and obviously people will still need to be able to tend to their basic needs and then some. Owning the automation just cannot mean you get all the profits from it.
Anyone can inject content and scripts into your HTTP pages.

Anyone? So, you for instance? I'll take you up on that. Here's a dangerously exposed HTTP page. Inject a malicious script into it for us:

http://www.blogabond.com/CommentView.aspx?CommentID=177

My understanding is that you'd need to be sitting between me and that webserver somewhere. If my ISP injects something into that page that changes it so that it no longer shows a dumb travel story from 15 years ago, I think the proper solution would be to change ISPs.

The webpage itself is fine.
