I use https://newsblur.com — it’s a web interface and service with apps available for iOS and Android.

The code is open source and actively developed, which gives me peace of mind when I pay my yearly subscription.

On my Mac I tried liking Reeder 3, but TBH NewsBlur’s web interface is better. Reeder can use NewsBlur’s API and the syncing between mobile and desktop is nice to have.

NewsBlur’s author has been very responsive to issues and has been actively improving the service.

I also tried self-hosting various web solutions but it’s too much of a hassle, a constant security risk and paying for a VPS ends up being more expensive.
What part of this is "can't"? No one wants to spend the money, end of story.
Dear god, imagine if they gunned down the open office space as a a concept.

The efficiency dreams they will develop next and their slogans:
"Working in a sleep (al)coffin, to always be well rested. Work like a borg, rest like a swede."

"Working in several layers of hammock, to get the hang off it."

"Working cuddled together in a transparent ballpit room, to grow as a social being."

"Working from your own car, from the parking space. Cause the best office, is where you feel the drive."

There is always a level of dystopia beneath the dystopia of today.

The open office is driving the home office movement. The only thing preventing the home office from triumphing, is the failure to create external meetups - either at home or at another temporary location.

We never went to moon.

Or if we did we:

- still faked a bunch of footage.

- it was not Aldrin, Armstrong, etc that went (but others who did not make it back)

Likewise. Be well.
When many websites are already shipping down megs of crap, I don't think the few extra megs of a python runtime would matter that much to the end user, especially if it's cached. Especially if it's marked by the browser as cross-site 'cached' (perhaps by verifying a signature and installing it as a plugin) so it's only done once per version. You can go further with more browser support, for instance browsers could bundle popular runtimes with their own distribution (Chrome + Flash).
>I never said poor communication

I know, but Sean did in the linked interview.

>We’re not talking about salmonella lettuce or a blood test kit that doesn’t work or carcinogenic flame retardants here. This is a product of digital entertainment, with minuscule value to our overall society.

What's your point? People shouldn't be pissed that he purposely lied about the game he was trying to sell us? Nothing really matters unless it's a life or death situation?

>Nobody forced these people to pre-order the game or buy it on launch day. They went and bought it before the reviews came out. It is entirely on them as consumers for failing to execute due diligence.

So it's the consumer's fault? Sure, I also check reviews first, but that's neither here nor there. HE BLATANTLY LIED. Why are you so eager to give him a pass on that?

>So what if the creator lied through their teeth? Plenty of people enjoyed the game for what it was anyway.

You're not a reasonable person.
> Much less, if any, grant writing.

I don't know how it compares in software, I worked for a professor in undergrad who was in microelectronics. I was astonished at how much of their time was taken up by grant writing and applying for funding. The pressure for research professors to support their position was immense.

There's a lot of reasons to hate FB, a lot of reasons to be wary of what comes out of their research. But to castigate researchers that cash-spewing tech titans create a better environment and experience for researchers than the public and universities feels a bit asinine. I've known too many starving grad students, post docs, and non-tenure professors to prefer people subject themselves to the system we have rather than what a company like FB wants to provide.
Because the health care industry has enough money to hire the best lawyers to advise on this sort of thing.
Exactly. You can forward traffic from DoH to TLS upstream servers, or servers sitting in tier-1 networks that are well outside of your ISP.
English is not my first language so I don't really understand the last sentence in your post ("egging", specifically).

But what this company did was fraud in my view. He should be fined or put in jail. So should any people who sent them death threats.
This is off topic, but there has been quite the point inflation since then.

EDIT: Too bad we can't see the comment scores... I wonder if PG is ever going to change his mind about this :)
But the article is not really talking about quaternions - which are surly a useful tool, probably best known for the nice way in which they can describe rotations - but about R⊗C⊗H⊗O. And it's at the very least not obvious that this thing is anywhere close to where they journey is hopped to lead to.
Google bought a company that used to be known as Duck Corporation. Your analogy is deeply incongruous.
I take issue with your argument that we should bury meritorious complaints just because they happen to be associated with bad behavior. Taking that approach to the extreme, should we stop talking about politics completely? There has to be a better approach than sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that the audience is unable to hold two distinct arguments in their heads at a time.

I emphasize with your core argument that sometimes we need to discuss the bad behavior out front, but people have different priorities - it doesn't make sense to hold everyone else to your particular mix of priorities.
The language server currently only supports 64-bit Linux, so if you have that on your Pi then it should be faster.
This article seems like it could be describing games journalism almost perfectly, with the sole exception of the whole 'their business affects every aspect of society' thing. In that field you've also got:

1. Reporters acting more like cheerleaders for industry figures than journalists

2. Overly secretive companies with strict control structures.

3. Journalists being stretched thin as they're forced to cover too many stories at once in too many areas without getting the time to research them properly.

4. A lack of coverage regarding actual issues in the industry, or anything resembling investigative journalism.

5. Misunderstanding their audience in general.

But hey, I guess you could say many of the issues are really true of most niche or entertainment focused media.
Uff, I'm not the only one that finds this silly, to put it mildly. Same goes to BlaBlaCar (carpooling app), it just feels wrong.
I think it is, but it's a better reading experience as a book, IMO. I'd say plus then you get to support the author but knowing the companies he's invested in I don't think he's doing this to make money from book sales :) (more likely to further improve his already impressive deal flow, and to help others)
What the people who want decentralized services don't realize is that the content creators want centralized services (whether they realize it or not).

In the old days we needed YouTube because you needed a Flash encoder if you wanted to make video accessible on the web to everyone. Now anyone can host video on anything. You can throw even throw some comments on the bottom if you want.

But what those who create want is an audience. They want a community. There is a cycle of drama on YouTube that everyone feeds off of. Hell, some of the most popular videos people make are videos of people complaining about YouTube. Make a normal video, get a few thousand views. Make a rage video about how your normal video got demonized, get a million views.

How many attempts at decentralized social networks have failed? All of them.
Your stack is as good as any. Do yourself a favour if you're building a business... Don't look at it as an engineer. If you're proficient in python, use Flask and Celery. If you're proficient in Ruby use Rails/Sinatra and Sidekiq. These tools are battle-tested, solid. You can build a business around them easily. If you ever hit any limits, then and only then look around for more.

My advice to you is to master these tools instead of learning a new language/stack/tool.

I see ppl talking about Elixir, Erlang, Phoenix, etc. It doesn't matter, what matters if for you to deliver. Python is an excellent choice, the tools, you're talking about are solid... the only thing that matters now is for you to deliver.
Congrats on shipping this, it looks very intriguing!

A few thoughts/ideas:

- It would be helpful to see more product screenshots/videos of it in action.

- It would also be useful to get more info on how this works and interacts with email services - perhaps easiest to add an FAQ page (this discussion thread should help get some ideas for the questions).

- I echo what some others say - that I don't necessarily know whether this would work for all my emails. I tend to find some emails would suit this process. Therefore, I'd love a Chrome extension into this, where it is a tab added in Gmail. I could process emails and move some to the kanban board for when I'm in 'action things' mode, and they are out of sight when I'm processing emails - sort of a two step process. If you had that I'd sign up to at least try this right now.

Good luck with it!
I think you can write plugins for Vienna, maybe that would allow you to integrate that service.

Fever is mentioned by a (main?) developer in one of the issues (dated 2013)

> There's something incredibly disappointing and frustrating about paywalled scientific research.

Yes, there's a lot that's incredibly disappointing and frustrating—but is the solution to that not even to point to it? If you're interested enough, you can do whatever searches a bot would do (or build the bot yourself to do the searches).
> You could argue that you should add the JS / browser runtime to those libraries too, then.

No, since they are already in the browser at first place. That's the point. I don't need any extra runtime to run JS in the browser.
Feynman's Lost Lecture (ft. 3Blue1Brown)
I know that from a technical point of view, Emacs is not just a text editor; I think it is a complete lisp virtual machine with a text-based interface that happens to be prepared for editing text by default, and thus it should be treated as such, instead of running it over as a userland program maybe one day it works as a standalone operating system, with its own kernel and JIT compiled lisp dialect. I'm saying this, because when I first started using Unix-like operating systems Emacs was one of the things that attracted me the most, but after actively using it for almost a year I saw how it moved away from the expected operation mode of a typical Unix environment, and I didn't like that. I came to appreciate the phylosophy of "One program to do one thing and do it well... make programs that work together", I consider it an elegant way to design and implement software, thus I don't see where Emacs fits on a Unix-like system. In the end, I ditched it in favor of something much more simple, fast and adecuate, this is where vis does an outstanding job, having the unique plus of using a structural regular expressions engine, and extensible using Lua. vis is small (source code and binary) and I don't have to think about what SSL implementation it should use, because there is a system library that does it for me, since vis is just a text editor, and succeeds at it.
You don't need to attach a space elevator to the ground. Keeping one end of the tether at 100,000 feet still makes access to space cheap without many of the security issues of a ground based tether.
The first production usage of Rust was extending Ruby.
Look up the "universal CRT". It's already happening.
Lol. Java was absolutely designed for the web. Why do you think the main language of the web is called JavaScript? Java 1.0 came with the HotJava browser and Netscape 3 had a feature called LiveConnect that linked the JVM and the DOM together.

As for embedding a JVM, sure, why not? Good JVMs are open source these days and HotSpot starts in 50 msec or less. V8 is very comparable, tech wise in terms of its approach. Lots of code out there targets JVM bytecode.
I’m using Reeder 3 and it’s actually quite good. The author updates it when it’s necessary but yeah, no new features are in the pipeline apparently.
this is absolutely brilliant thank you.
When discussing system features/status with stakeholders, I've found it can be dangerously easy to shift from concrete certainties to more of a brainstorming, thinking-out-loud type dialogue. The problem is that stakeholders often can't tell the difference between the two and while you're internalizing and assessing the practicality of their request, they're hearing confirmation of the feature's necessity and practicality. Once they have the impression a feature will be there, it is tricky to walk that back. Once I realized this, a simple language shift helped increase clarity:

old: "Idea" -> "hmm, yeah we could...{thinking out loud}"

new: "Idea" -> "interesting, let me look into that, check with some people, and get back to you" or "interesting, there are a lot of pieces to that, how would you prioritize this against {comparable item}?"

That said, it sounds like No Man's Sky team was performing unprompted brainstorming sessions during public interviews, which is really unwise and essentially inviting people to be disappointed...
Vactrains aren't "new". They were invented and patented in the 18th century.

How Will Capitalism End? (2014)
Having done some work in the area, I'd say running a service is useful but many would want code / service they could license and "own". It'd probably be worthwhile if you could make a nice Kubernetes setup to run it on prem or private vpc. Lots of banks might be really interested in that! Just my two cents. :-)
Not much. That field's arguably got even more problems, and takes the fanboyism and cheerleader attitude thing even further than the tech news sites do. And that's not even getting into the questionable level of research involved, which often means 'treating random people posting rumours on social media as reliable sources'.
While I was traveling in Beijing I remember hearing stories that the Chinese hired Japanese contractors to build the rail. Had them build one track of the rail and sent them home. Then they copied their design and built the rest of the railway.

What happened to the Decentralized Facebook that everyone was so excited about a few years ago?
I don't see what's wrong with that. The idea he is trying to get across is that death threats are not appropriate, but the CEO Sean Murray is indeed a lier and betrayed a large audience who believed in him and gave him a huge sum of pre-orders. Unhappiness is to be expected from a company who's CEO is a pathological lier.

Watch his interviews - he talks about it being an MMO style game in some of them, where you can meet your friends and explore side by side. Literally claims the game is multiplayer and it is labeled as co-op before launch. Players buy the game and realize there is literally no co-op whatsoever on launch day.

Sean Murray was involved in the engineering efforts, and knew he was outright lying to the media. It wasn't like he was a detached CEO of a large company not engaged in engineering so he didn't really know what was going on. No, he knew all the features he claimed where not real. He flat out took advantage of all of his customers.
I really like the fact that this book is explicitly addressed to (CXOs of / senior managers of) companies that have already found a product / market fit, and is now transitioning into a 'BigCo', which means that startup founders who are not going through that stage of company growth can skim the book, (as can people who want to remain engineers). There is a lot of 'managerese' in the book, which is inevitable given its focus. I still can't decide if some of the interviewees are actually insightful, or just happened to be at the right place at the right time, and are now mouthing platitudes.

This book is really meant for people who want to be senior managers in a company that is growing like crazy, and want to take on the people and organizational challenges that result.

Also the book is very explicitly centered around the "SF way" of building companies, and I wonder how much of this advice would apply to, say, a Chinese unicorn. (I think, not very much. e.g: 'diversity' as key focus area for the CEO seems to be a very SF centric (or at least US centric) way of doing things, and reflective of social and political phenomena in the USA. I doubt Chinese or Korean CEOs spend as much time on 'identity politics' flavored 'diversity hiring' as a CEO would in SF)

So if you are scaling up a post product/market fit company in SF/the USA, and are in a senior management position in that company, this book is likely to be of great help.

Even otherwise it is a good roadmap to how you can "live long enough to see yourself become the villain" ;-).

The book has a different focus from many "startup" books and that is refreshing. Overall I liked it, modulo the 'platitude problem' I mentioned above.

I really liked the interview with Patrick Collison, who seems to have his head screwed on right.

C) Don't bother visit that site at all. I pretty much always surf incognito. Everything I know about that site is that they refuse to serve me.

Because of it I don't have the slightest interest to read anything from that site.
A death threat doesn't lack credibility because it's anonymous. It doesn't necessarily lack credibility even because it reads like an obvious dimwitted trolling attempt. Sure, the vast majority of such threats aren't serious -- but it only takes one that turns out to be real.
How do operators in general fail to associate? Usually the "multiplication" operation for operators is function application, which is a paradigmatic example of a thing that is associative.
It's in the article towards the end, but these are the only kinds of ... "over real numbers," which constraint Furey believes may be only an approximation.
In the modern Web PKI, it seems to me that the only thing DNSSEC is good for is mitigating BGP hijacking and similar attacks (in combination with CAA and either some contractual agreement with your CA or the ACME CAA extension).

That's an important issue to solve, but you wouldn't need anything with the complexity and baggage of DNSSEC to do that.

DNSSEC, to a degree, stands in the way of a better solution. And while I have no problem with people using DNSSEC as an additional layer of defense as such, I feel like there's a risk that people will use it as the only layer of defense if it becomes a success, effectively blindly trusting DNS.
It's crashing a lot for me lately, to the tune of every 100 articles, or sometimes when you go in/out the web view too fast. Mind you, I'm not a power user at all, just a regular feed consumer.

This happened a lot on High Sierra, and the Mojave beta has made it much worse (although that is to be expected).
> These are tracked in most web analytics suites today by default.

All installed browsers? All fonts? Which web analytics suites report this by default?

> Based on my research I don't believe that these (even all of them together) are PII.

Great argument, but I have the perfect counter: based on my research they can constitute PII, back to square one.
The problem with CAHSR is that they decided to go whole hog on brand new high speed rail pretty early, and that they specified the top speed and expected travel times as a matter of law.

Realistically speaking, it's a lot more cost-effective to bring the slowest sections up to good enough speeds for medium-high speed rail. Each 10MPH increase in max speeds lead to diminishing returns.
How long were the hiring freezes in 2001?
I use Reeder for Mac (and iOS) with Feedly and while I understand the author's reluctance to buy, I haven't had any real problems with the apps in all my years of usage. Although I must say I recently contacted the author with a tiny feature request and didn't hear back from them either.

RSS is just a niche product, bring it up with your average user and they probably won't know what you're talking about. I'm just glad these apps are still around. Maybe we'll once get a resurgence like Podcasts.
Same here. It seems to check all the authors needs, other than being constantly updated.... But then, if it's not broke, not sure what need there is to keep pushing updates?
Mastodon is going pretty well. I greatly enjoy using it and the conversations I have there.
Other means of launching would be massive infrastructure projects, have huge power requirements, or simply might not be practical with current technology (as with a space elevator). I would guess that the most practical would be some sort of EM launch system + rocket/ramjet, if you could figure out how to transition from the first part to the second, but who knows.
That's at most sort-of-true. It's not possible to represent octonions by matrices of numbers in such a way that multiplication of matrices corresponds to multiplication of octonions, because matrix multiplication is associative and octonion multiplication isn't.
Betteridge's Law of headlines.
Well done! I would disregard much of the criticism on here as bikeshedding and not worth much merit. Reminds me of the dropbox HN thread.

I often "hold on" to certain emails for certain reasons. Because I need to reply to them, or read them more, or am waiting on reply. I can see breaking it out into a kanban could be beneficial for that.

I would never use though; because the service will never do what I need from an email client. It'll be more like an email backed trello, and even then I would bet the providers it works with will be gmail and gmail. Even then there are things like PGP, search, exporting, that a good client offers, and then issues with data security and exposing your inbox to a third party who could do anything - from data mining, to theft; with or without intent.

But... as an app? I'd be down. Maybe not $12/mo down... but $4/mo for an email client that's both good and being improved upon would not be a bad deal for me. Maybe do personal/corporate licensing, as companies will have more money to throw at software; which would help with reaching sustainability.

Anyway, great idea and I hope it really can become something. Launching anything is hard, doing it alone even harder. To deliver something that isn't completely nonsense is almost a feat in itself.
