Thanks for this super helpful comment !
Guess I go for python flask for the backend and try one of the frameworks you mentioned. Angular React or Vue. Never heard of Vue before but it looks interesting.

Regarding designs. To do so something fancy I guess I need a designer but I was hoping to use some out of the box templates and tweak it a bit. So I don't have to care to much about colour, fonts and basic elements. Any recommendations? I am really clueless here and google throws back 'best 100 web templates', wix.com etc.

Canary Deployment: What It Is and How to Use It
I know this is an Amazon PR piece but I need to point to their more recent aggressive behavior of growing revenue at the expense of user experience. My grips on their non refundable charges is a great example. Amazon will secretly renew your services without even emailing you and when you go to ask for a refund on a non agreed upon renewal, they will refuse to issue a refund.

I guess that's one way of overcoming these invisible asymptotes if all they plan to do is come up with creative ways to charge you.
At least in chrome you can enable "Show user agent shadow DOM" in the Settings. I don't know about other browsers, sorry.
That's fine. I was simplifying for the purpose of illumination. No disagreement on your points.
Hah, I remember when TD actually started supporting proper password lengths and published a bunch of fluff pieces about good password practices, as if none of their users remember their old short password restrictions.
I have to ask a question,and this question has bothered me for a while: Do we absolutely have to have breaking news at the speed of light? Can most people not wait a couple of hours before they hear about the latest tragedy or event?

All I've ever seen from citizen journalists (on Reddit/Twitter/etc.) is a bunch of typically wrong rumors, data and analysis. Every once in a while they get it right, but that's the rare exception. The reason people watch CNN et al is because biases or not, they're somewhat trusted to at least get the majority of their facts correct (and see below as to why I think all of these wishy washy adjectives).

I think this goes back into the curse of the 24 hour news cycle. It creates demand for sensationalism, "breaking" news. The speed that these news networks feel that they have to be have the exclusive does lead to errors, which leads to less trustworthiness in their reporting.

I just don't see the necessity of constant up to the minute news reporting. I consider myself a news junkie, but to me the important questions are usually answered after the fact anyways: "Why did this happen and what does it mean?"

I also have to wonder if this is part of our Constantly Connected Culture. People have to have their smart phone and be connected to every event constantly. I don't know if these phenomenon are somehow connected, but I would guess they are.

But again, are people that impatient about facts?
I don't think it's fair to blame them for breaking yarn. The way yarn setup their "mirror" url and the way Cloudflare handles account security conflicted and broke down yarn. I really don't see how any team could have seen that coming, or how they should be responsible for people making creative use of their infrastructure.

Everything else is legit though.
But doesnt this mean I just distribute a big json over ipfs? Where do I need orbitDB for that?
I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear. The person I was replying to aptly wrote "'cuteness' and 'cleverness' has a way of biting you in the behind", and I was agreeing with/adding to that comment. I've been guilty of cleverness and sure enough, it has usually found a way to get me in the end.

Today, in similar situations, I'd return a 500 with a message in the body.

Even if you can't trade the items (and you often can), they have a perceived value, and often a hard cash market value. A value that is frequently over-promoted by the game to encourage purchase of more premium currency by the naive to buy more boxes.

I can't distinguish a loot box from a scratch card -- except a scratch card must reveal odds.

I'm old-school in terms of paying for games: £xx for a complete game, £x for a month's access as they provide a known value exchange. Doubly so when it's the underage being sold to. My kids learnt never to ask - my answer was always no. Lootboxes and other variable rewards, time unlocks and so forth are just a piss-take driven by sheer greed of the GameCo that's ruined many games.
A rule of thumb:If you see "faster than C" claims its either poor C or they use different code path/algorithm thats not equivalent to C code.
A FFI that is faster than native, isn't FFI but some other mechanism that more direct - in this case bypassing the address of the function resolution.
'static inline' is of course even faster.
The only C overhead i recall that is legit is libc startup time with glibc, and you can use faster libc alternatives.

I didn't really mention positives for IRC, i mentioned negatives for Slack.

> Do you think people use IRC because it has an open protocol or because they want to chat?

Most of the people who use IRC or Slack or Discord or HipChat or Skype or any other similar tech, do it because they want to chat. However not all uses are the same - creating a new chat room and entering the chat room are both uses, but the former means that you are in a position to decide what the people who will perform the latter will need to do. The people who will enter the chat room will not really be in a position to make much of a choice beyond entering the room/community or not, so their reasoning behind that choice is irrelevant when it comes to the selection of the technology for the chat room.

The people who will create the chat room, however, are those who will make those choices for everyone that follows in that room/community and it is to those people that i am referring to with "I do not think of any other reason to use something that for all practical uses is the same as IRC" - because there is really no reason to not use IRC and minor features that Slack or HipChat or Discord to some extent (Discord provides audio chat which some communities might prefer, although TBH personally i highly dislike it and any "server" - lol - i've seen that uses audio channels has them almost always empty) are not worth the restrictions these services impose on the other members of the community you are trying to create.

What do you do after you say hello - Transactional Analysis book, mindblowing.
Let me clear it up for you. The entertainment you derive from a scratch lottery ticket is not the "prize" element of gambling. The prize is the money you win from the scratch off.

Gambling devices pay out a prize that is worth a real redeemable cash value and can be sold on an open market.

What prize does a loot box give you that is not purely for entertainment value? They do not give you a prize that is redeemable for cash.

I do not understand what this is exactly, but I'm very interested! What is a LaTeX "extension" ? Is it a LaTeX package that will allow me to write my math directly in unicode ? That would be so cool!

Could you please clarify the documentation (add some context) so that it is understandable to LaTeX users? Especially to LaTeX users that will want to keep using their own editor, and do not want to touch Atom with a long stick...
I can understand why we do it, but it doesn't make perfect sense to me anymore. At the end of the day, the only person you can rely on for the things I described is yourself. If we care about our own outcomes more than others do, then that is even more reason to be able to praise your own accomplishments, be understanding of your mistakes, and reassure yourself that no matter what you'll be "ok" - even when things are really scary and/or challenging.

However, that is not to say we should not acknowledge mistakes, take accountability for actions, and constantly strive to be better. I think you have to do both though, and unfortunately, I think many people are far more self-critical as opposed to their own best advocate.
Not quite. The data structures for the "database" part are more complex than a single json structure. Each update to the database is an "individual json" which get linked together using an append-only log CRDT (https://github.com/orbitdb/ipfs-log) and you'd essentially serve that log. So instead of "one big json", it's "many small jsons" and the state (view) of the database gets calculated from those small jsons.
Lots of systems do, but that's requiring lots of logic in the load balancer. Reversal makes this an emergent property of the system.
GDPR Means Unroll.me and Pinterest's Instapaper Unavailable in Europe
Browser IPFS to desktop IPFS communication can happen via websockets or webrtc right now, since those are the transports the browser currently offers us.

The stack we're using for networking is libp2p, a peer-to-peer framework, which has bunch of implementations for different transports. You can see the full list of those here: https://libp2p.io/implementations/#transports

Currently, most browser-apps using IPFS prefers websockets as it's using a lot less resources compared to webrtc, but once webrtc-quic[0] is ready for prime-time, it would be easy to write a transport for that and hopefully will be a lot more efficient than the current webrtc implementations.

Disclaimer: I work on IPFS/libp2p fulltime

And the real problem with all of this is that npm has become so ubiquitous that you can't get away from it if you're doing client side development (not even by switching to yarn).

You simply have to endure it, and accept that every now and again, for reasons entirely beyond your control (and at a quite possibly very inconvenient moment) it's going to break.

This really annoys me, but what can one do? At least it's fixed now.
I think it is more clear that a CCG is a form of gambling. Loot boxes do not give you anything that you can redeem for cash.

As the salty guy that sparked off this whole thing that use to do truck driving, I would honestly say that a lot can be fixed on labor demands if a few things were fixed and not change pay all that much.

A lot more respect has to be thrown onto the driver's life. Trash truck drivers still go home at the end of the day. Yes, it's a shitty job too. But the biggest benefit, you go home at the end of the day.

Long haul, yea, you CAN'T get that luxury. But especially with these big companies, they can figure a 1-2 week on, 1 week off system. That would vastly improve the situation. Is that perfect? No. Needs some work. Sure. But 3-4 days home for every 30, and you have to argue and fight for that. No. Fuck that. But that'd take gov regulation to have happen so it's an even playing field for everyone. The trucking companies make really good margins for only paying most guys $0.45 a mile and charge over $5 a mile to the customer. The England bros (the owners) had 6 high end cars delivered to the main yard in Utah on one day. They looked like kids on Christmas Day. This was during the "Hard times due to high diesel prices and all of us had to do our part to save money for the company." Look, I'm a capitalist, from beginning to end. But don't piss in my pocket and tell me it's raining. At first I thought it was weird for them to deliver them there, but I later found out they store a few of their cars on the side of the HQ since it has 24/7 protection.

There are other things that can be done, but I'm calling it done reminiscing about those shitty months for HN.
The problem with a lot of large companies (especially social media ones) is that they're stuck trying to solve non technical problems with tech because actually solving them any other way isn't scalable.

The solution to misinformation in a community would likely be community management/moderation, but that can't scale to the size of something like Facebook or Twitter. Hence the awkard tech 'solutions' that don't work.
If they're petrol stations, why not just hook up a generator and charge 5% more ? Or, you know, 50%.

Fair enough, I didn't pick up on that.

I fully agree with that last comment.
The key part is probably the distinction between deliberate and accidental misinformation. Yes the latter can be problematic as well, but it would seem ridiculous to ban someone for simply making mistakes. Everyone does so, from professional journalists to average Joes on the street.

Unfortunately, even if those pushing deliberate misinformation are banned, then the problem will keep going since others will spread the information because they mistakenly believe its true.

Verbose, colourful output by default. Emoji in output (entirely unnecessary). It's essentially a GUI tool, not a CLI tool. The kind of tool that says "look at me! Look how much I'm doing! Aren't I amazing?". Good CLI tools just do their job. Oh and it's also unbearably slow.

>>But good luck getting into those shops. Cronyism and nepotism abound.

Any job that pays $130k/yr will have these sort of dynamics.

Precious opportunities don't come along unless you have some serious leverage up management. That's not just true with trucking but with any job on earth.
I never said I was pro or anti EU regulations, the EU need to learn they are not the only player in the market
I would recommend (if any NPM people are reading this) that the error for an unknown Host header be changed to 404. Bad host headers are already filtered out by Cloudflare (which returns 400), so any host headers that make it through would represent "unknown"/"missing" hosts (hence 404).
hi everyone,
lots of work on this idea of mine during the bank holiday weekend. Any feedback is welcome.
They pay for (most of) the development and running some public nodes, but in the end running IPFS is up to individual nodes.

I feel bad for the Norwegian’s friends and family having this accusation levelled at him. However the idea has appeal because it’s almost like he was selling each murder as though it was an imported car, something exotic, rarified, only for a particular discerning audience.
That's probably part of it. I think the other part of it is our "inner voice" needs training and practice at it. Having two young children of my own, I can see how upbringing and the way parents punish/praise their children plays a role in this.
This is just my opinion and not based on any specific research, but think about how a parent typically curbs a perceived negative behavior. Ex. A child is eating dinner while standing up instead of sitting down. A parent will ask the child to sit down and possibly levy a consequence if they do not do it. Now think about all the other times the child ate at the dinner table and sat down (99% of the time). How many times was the child praised for sitting at the table as they were expected to? Similar examples can be found in how negative/positive reinforcement is implemented within the K-12 education system.

The point being, we are likely trained from an early age to focus on criticizing our negative behavior(s) instead of reinforcing our positive ones.
Blockchain has shown its usefulness when recording events like transactions. This usefulness could be extended to medical records, which often suffer from inaccuracy and discrepancies.

Healthcare professionals are responsible for ensuring that sensitive medical records are accurate, complete, and only available to authorized individuals. All of this can prove to be difficult when healthcare providers all have different systems for storing information.

For example, prescription records are one aspect of medical records that could be positively impacted by blockchain. Just imagine if a patient’s prescription information was left vulnerable to manipulation by hackers. Simply put, the more quality and secure that health information is, the better the quality and care.

As it stands, patients currently have their medications prescribed and filled by various entities, such as hospitals and pharmacies. Each entity has their own database for patient medications and prescriptions, which can result in discrepancies in patient records.

By having a “prescription blockchain,” much of the problems that arise from varied systems and records could be avoided as the blockchain could serve as a shared and trustworthy source of patient prescription records. Healthcare providers could have an accurate, immediate view into a patient’s medications, both past and present, which would result in better, more personalized treatment.

Since he is paid to work on NetBSD, I wonder if his work on OpenBSD and FreeBSD will earn him anything. But really glad they are shared among BSD lands.

You’d think these days there would be a way to analyse language in the public domain for similarities though perhaps the job is just too big.
> God's purpose is not to make us comfortable or to make life easy. It is to make us better, and happier.

I'm not religious and I don't think life has a purpose, but this sounds like a contradiction. How can life be good if it's not comfortable and easy ? You're basically saying she's making life better by making it worse. That makes no sense.

> My point is this: experiencing a hard time doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong - it can come just as easily to someone doing everything right as to someone doing everything wrong

Of course it doesn't, but that doesn't mean there is some higher power guiding it. Life is just random, bad stuff happens for no reason, so does good stuff.
> Regulations that tightly restrict or absolutely prohibit loot boxes will definitely hurt the gaming industry and will hurt, perhaps even fatally, games I love.

Maybe actually charge for the game that companies used to?

I hate free 2 play games because I am a whale and I know it. When I get hooked I can easily pay hundres of dollars of digital shit. Much more than I would ever have if I had just purchased the game.

Fuck loot boxes and fuck companies trying to defend the practice.
Thanks, but what's the alternative when yarn relies on npm infrastructure? Like it or not, you're still using npm. It's got so you basically cannot do serious client-side development without one of them.

I was an insider at Netscape, not "name" person but I was there for all the important moments. I wish I could tell all my stories, but then it would be easy to identify me and I'm content not being identified.

Having watched the game from a front row seat, there was no honor in what he did, not just to Netscape, but to everyone that crossed his path. I was embarrassed for him on numerous occasions. The usual yardstick by which we measure success is monetary, and by that measure Gates is one of the best, as a person he left more than a lot to be desired. He is currently doing good work, but he still leaves a lot to be desired as a humanitarian, it's more self serving than it should be, but than again, Gates just wants to let us all know that it's his world and we are just living in it.

It takes a certain personality type to step on the throat of a tiny competitor just because you want an extra dollar or two of profit, I'm not referring to Netscape in this example. Of course I can't imagine how Larry Ellison would have acted had he Microsoft's monopoly, that thought really makes me shudder, and I got to see Larry up close and personal as well.

Gates did what the government allowed him to do, he was able to exploit IBM's former monopoly and create a new monopoly.
Its pretty ridiculous that all the big banks give you a smart card, but not a $5 smartcard reader to login with...

I think there's a pattern here: 'Highly talented company makes highly praised product but eventually realizes there is much more money in exploitative products instead'. Valve made the amazing Half-Life series, then later seems to have come to the conclusion that their return on investment is just much higher if they focus on multiplayer games with loot boxes (plus selling other people's games and taking a cut). Blizzard went through a similar transformation from e.g. Warcraft 3 to World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone (these days WoW is probably even the less exploitative of the bunch). Facebook went from being 'the place to hear about what my friends are up to', to just trying to show me as targeted ads as possible. I don't blame them, per se - these companies are just following the economic reality, but I just wish being exploitative wasn't so damn profitable.
