I've used glitch before... its like plunkr.co , or codesandbox.io

Glitch (the software) has been around for like 3-4 years... but the marketing is some of the worst I've ever seen especially for a well established company like Fogcreek (now glitch, inc, how is that different from glitch software. Makes it even more confusing now?)

The UX is just... no. One of the worst examples of UX possible in my opinion. I say this after trying thousands of tools. Contrasting colors everywhere, going on that site is like a deer seeing headlights for the first time. Except those headlights are constantly strobing different colors. Constantly. Enough to give it a seizure, if it stares too long

The logo isn't pleasant on the eyes. It seems very retro, but not really. What does fish have to do with the word "glitch"? Why two fishies? The first word when I hear "glitch" is the movie Matrix, which fits in the theme... since its programming.

The plain white background contrasted by the bright antonym colors everywhere are VERY distracting.

The 1,000,000 drafts created... are mostly driven by online course users following along. Possibly, many K-12 school courses. I have used the "help" section a few times and I haven't gotten many helpful responses from it. I had used glitch in one of the MOOC's I took earlier with watchandcode's practical javascript. I had used glitch's API through freecodecamp as well, but all I needed was the endpoint anyhow.

I honestly question what Glitch is trying to do. What are they trying to do? Have they lost their touch? I say this in all seriousness, I really don't know. I'm sure the backend programming is topnotch, frontend...not really.

Where is money going to come from with glitch...? Schools? Ads? Who is the userbase? Is it newcoming young age developers? Why would I want to use this tool over all the more beautiful tools out there like codesandbox and codepen? What's the appeal? Why the logo choice? What is the overall theme? Why the strong contrasting colors on white? What have they done in the last 3 to 4 years?

The only real benefit I see for a company using glitch is having a place to host a REST API.

I even ran a siteprofiler on glitch.. I am even more confused now. The top keyword was "news, google, blog, community, search" 1MM monthly visits, compare this to codepen which is "programming, design, webdevelopment,google,blog" , 24MM monthly visits.

What I did see is glitch is used alot for A-frame, and VR tutorials / hosting. And some starter react-projects as well for courses
You missed the part where the news website seems to have loaded but needs to further interrupt your reading by jumping up and down several times.

I'm not entirely sure but at least the habit of screen-shooting the viewport and uploading the whole thing seem to have gone out of fashion.

No amount of research seems to convince these people that a good percentage of users will close the page in disgust before it is loaded or that click though rates depend largely on how fast pages load.

Your website should have a link at the end of the article so that we can read more. Knowing that the page will load before we've forgotten what we were doing makes all the difference.
Highlight in terms of sketchiness. I maintain our home network, but I certainly don’t spy on the sites my partner chooses to visit. Or post them on a high traffic blog.
Rule of thumb. Whenever a headline asks a question the answer is no.
I consider myself a pretty savvy user, I'm not a web dev but I understand web technologies, javascript and all that and I simply can't use uMatrix decently. Am I supposed to audit every single external resource to whitelist it? For every website I may want to visit? I don't get it.

Ublock seems to do an okay job of blocking most ads and tracking stuff so I'll stick to that in the meantime but I would be really interested to see a uMatrix tutorial or something like that.

I think a major difference is the update scheme. Browser extensions auto-update. If they switch hands there is no user visibility when getting the updated version. Pi-Hole is installed software and requires manual updates, which gives users more visibility and control.
Many of the CoC's I have read specifically allow Racism against specific targets and allow sexism against specific targets. In veiled language off course, but it is still there. Even when that stuff isn't there it will be misused to target political "opponents" as we have already seen starting with the Linux CoC.
I didn't mean to say that Wal-Mart was a threat. If the data is held internally, then it's up to the public to trust Wal-Mart's data. This is more a comment about a blockchain being moot than calling Wal-Mart a bad actor, but I can see how it goes the other way as well.
I always split my time between a day job and a passion of building startups. My startups all failed until I finally took the leap and fully committed by leaving my cushy tech day job and went all in. It was super hard being self funded and I spent everything I had including a 401k but it was the best decision I ever made. Now I’m CTO at a successful, funded company instead of a tool for others to realize their visions through. It’s hard work but I enjoy leading a team.
Right, its not about if the repair is more expensive than the car. Its whether the repair is cheaper than the payments on an equivalent but newer car.

Of course we all like a new car. But is it worth the extra money. Folks have a different threshold where they'll give up on ol Barney.
The best decisions are either to stay with or leave a job. Knowing when to do that is tricky. Sometimes I've gotten it right and have advanced my career. I think this time, I've waited too long. Not happy anymore as new development has stagnated. Nervous about interviewing again. My last gig I got from just a phone call, so I've not had a formal interview in years. But, it's time to go...

I am not a speedrunner and I don't really follow any speedrunning community, but this takes me back to 1998 doing the Facility in time for the Invincibility cheat. If I still remember it 20 years later, I must have done it a few times.
Some feedback:

* How did you measure that your development work was accelerated 10x faster? Or is that just a hyperbole? I think this matters because otherwise you are making claims that are not justified.

* When I visit the website, it autoplays some voice and it put me off immediately.
I am one of whom has switched its browser because of this issue. I have seen that in the blog post, they claim Chrome will offer an option not to allow chrome sign in when you sing in on a google service. Let me describe your mentality: hey there who is aware of what they use. I have an option for you. You can turn this feature off. For the others, this will be default. Why don't you simply make this option closed as default?

Do you still want to play with your users, Google? It's your product and your choice. Good night and good luck
I have silencing rings on my Realforce and my HHKB and I haven't looked back. It doesn't affect the key feel at all since it only silences the upstroke, where the slider hits the housing. They're fairly cheap on AliExpress or eBay. Not as easy to install as Cherry silencing rings but absolutely worth the effort.
Tell me another joke?
It is ok, but, imo it could do with a smaller space bar and more thumb keys. Also, the wasted space on either side of the bottom row is irritating when it could easily have been used for keys. The uhk-60 looks a lot better in that regard, but unfortunately is well out of my price range.
Yea exactly. a couple of our early adopters are using for the same. Which helps them easily monitor all the network request happening for their beta users

Huh? DNS is hit even if the site is SSL. Unless the site has HSTS, and you've got to the site before; DNS poisoning is very much doable.
I think you're talking about the warping to the negative worlds. In the 80's we found out about a wall clipping method to get to the first warp tubes, but you ended up going to negative world numbers which never have an ending.

Yeah, contracting is very tough if you're responsible for a familiy's welfare. I did it for a few years, 2008 - 2011. But back then HSAs were quite reasonable. With a wife in kids I can only imagine what premiums are now days. However, when the kids leave I'll seriously consider going back to contracting.

One other thing I found out was to stay away from the "butts in seats" contract. That's often the model these contracting houses (middlemen) use so, in essence, you're the same as an employee with non of the benefits. It can still be good to go through one of these companies but make sure and tell them that if you're work is blocked because the customer is dragging their feet on requirements or the like, you reserve the right to work on other contracts. Don't let them bill you out at 40h per week if there's not 40h per week of work.
Python 101: Episode #26 – lambdas
What do you think is the business of senators?

Senators are legislators. Legislators write laws, changing things from "illegal" to "legal" or vice versa. The question of whether conduct should be illegal is thus absolutely their business, and the purpose of senate hearings (aside from grandstanding) is to give a public forum of record where these issues can be discussed to guide future legislation.

There seems to be a strange misperception that judges should decide whether something should be legal or not, when their role is to /interpret/ the law as it exists, and /apply/ the law to specific situations.
They might be a huge employer but they also murder people. Even if you work in a role that supports murder and doesn't actually do it directly, I'd say that the ethical side is a concern. Certainly not something to be dismissed out of hand, even if you make the decision that you are ok with it.

I am of the opinion that a "well it's far removed from me even though that is what the organisation's main goal is" stance is doing yourself a disservice.
I run ublock origin and umatrix. And actually they do kinda care - I've tested their site on Chromium with no addons or blocking and noticed they lazy load most of those images (it loads "only" ~130images) and about 400requests in total (I only opted out from advertising using their GDPR dialog). If I opt in, it constantly pulls data ~6requests/second.
Intel Kicks FPGA Performance Up a Notch with Stratix 10 PAC
You're right but again, blockchain is not needed for that part either. Just have wallmart publish their signed database publicly at regular intervals this way if they cheat and try to modify existing records anybody with an old dump could prove that something weird happened (since the database is signed simply showing a conflicting entry with a valid signature would be enough to demonstrate that either Wall-Mart did something fishy or that they got compromised. You wouldn't have to trust the whistle blower).
ok... so wtf has happened to google?
In all fairness, I find there are plenty of interesting 2 or 3 person "talking head" podcasts if the people involved are engaging, it doesn't go on and on, and you're interested in the subject matter. That's not to say people will pay for it but it's a perfectly viable format so long as you're not expecting to make a living off it.

>Friend and I are fairly obsessed with "older" Dodge diesel trucks.

So you hate getting a value for your money almost as much as the Toyota guys then?

How are those cute miniature ball joints holding up? Frame splice rusted out yet?

> They have tripled in value in the last decade.

I think you mean that the 1000lb dowel eating turd with a stupidly stupidly thin cylinder head casting that occupies the space under the hood has tripled in value in the last decade. The trucks themselves are sub par. The increase in value is because all the ones that don't have a Cummins have long since been scrapped so the ones remaining are kinda, sorta worth a couple bucks.

Regardless, Cummins 12v (and 24v) engines are so expensive that unless you can't read a wiring diagram or need weight up front for a pulling truck you're probably better served with a 6.0 LS

It’s essentially dnsmasq which can be run directly on your wireless router if you are using custom firmware. No separate hw needed, no need to horse around with dockers or containers or any of that stuff. I’d guess a lot of people are already running dnsmasq for other purposes, so adding the blocklist and periodically updating it should be trivial.

The PKI model is awesome for less dynamic environments. Factories and suppliers are a great example of that.

Produce is more dynamic and 100% cost driven.

You have multiple, unsophisticated suppliers that shift based on season, weather, etc. These folks are located in the middle of nowhere in many cases and may or may not have connectivity.

Carting the produce from these suppliers to distribution is performed by any number of trucking companies. Then you have the huge distributed enterprise of WalMart itself, with dozens/hundreds of DCs and an internal fleet of trucks and contractors who cart products to the store.

Bitcoin demonstrated that a large number of unknown parties can successfully store and transfer value. I don't see why this would be a bad fit.
Pi-Hole is a bit different too in that they do not maintain any block lists. It does come pre-installed with several lists, but maintained by 3rd parties. Its also very easy to add items to the block lists or import new lists. I think having this separation of powers is wonderful and will aid in the protection of the project.
Forging a Hybrid CPU-FPGA Supercomputer
In the blog post, they also tell you quite clearly that they'll be pushing it in Chrome 70.
Well it has great potential to remove a lot of beaurocracy related stuff. It's not really the next internet but it can very easily change the world if it's properly implemented.

But if you're talking specifically about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin then I assume you're a bit salty because you think you missed the hype. Don't worry tho, we are still early adopters.
AMP is the version of every news site that takes 10 seconds to redirect me to the real version if I'm lucky.
I don't think this is gonna happen. There's no huge momentum behind Swift on the server. And when IBM is losing interest it will be reduced by 50 percent. Apple doesn't seem to be too much interested in Swift on a server (apart from releasing SwiftNIO, that's about it). When you take a look at the commit stats of Vapor on GitHub you will notice that there's not much going on either.

At least from the initial paragraph, it sounds more like the companies laying off their podcast _production_ teams just had shitty content. The medium itself is hardly suffering.
Show HN: Easy website backups
I'm not surprised that mainstream media companies like Buzzfeed and Slate are having a hard go of it in podcasting. I also don't see it as a problem, or even a worrying sign.

I listen to podcasts specifically because the mainstream have been chronically bad at keeping me engaged. I think the same is true for most my podcast-listening friends. The podcasting I love is a quintessentially amateur endeavor - my favorites are ones like Singing Bones or Uncanny Japan that have low production values, irregular release schedules, and hosts whose deep love for and fascination with the subject matter saturate every episode. I'm never going to get that from Buzzfeed or Slate, or even NPR.

> I find a CoC offputting because it equates me with the lowest of the low. It says I can't be trusted to behave like a decent human being and need to be told what's right and what's wrong, like being back at school.

Do you have the same reaction to automated linters or being told to write unit tests? What about the enforcement sections of the GPL? I mean, you, not being the lowest of the low, aren't going to write buggy code or reuse software unfairly, right? Isn't it an insult for people to imply that you might?
> I think the business model for ad-supported podcasts is tough -- people can only buy so much underwear and so many stamps.com subscriptions.

There are other options for advertising that seem to make more sense to me.

For example, the acquired.fm podcast is sponsored by VCs and investment banks, and their ads consist of a 30 second soundbite interview with one of the advertiser's employees.

risky.biz has a bit longer sponsor interviews, but with sponsors likely relevant to the target audience.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe advertises for an education video subscription service.

Software Defined Talk advertises for a monitoring company.

And so on.

Yes, it takes work, but it seems to work, more or less.
Some of these are hobby projects, but I think risky.biz is the producer's main income.

Hey, I am also very interested in these documents. When I wanted to scan some of my university courses and other stuff for preservation, I just bought a second hand printer/scanner combination, and paid attention to choose a model with ADF (automatic document feeder), occasionally it jams and I have to restart a batch, but it goes quicker than you think even if the ADF only supports ~30 pages or so.

Could you at least mention the name of the original author? What makes you think the notes were sent to an archive?

0. ask for referrals from current customers.

1. take your three largest companies and make list similar companies and call on them.

2. Content marketing around the problem your solving. what problem are you solving at a high level.(content funnel)

3. pivot - find other adjacent problems your current customers are having and create a product around that.
All those alternatives you mention appear to be for client-side code only? I see people using Glitch for running small services quite a bit.

Agreed with your questions about monetization.
Whatever their ideologies are, palemoon simply worked for me, and qutebrowser did not. At some point, especially with a computer, functionality is going to win over ideologies.

I will say that I understand the need to try to keep control of one's projects and what others do with them. See the recent linux mess for details.

Tracking the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua to its home
A woman who identified herself as “Mama P,” an employee of the staffing agency, gave us lots of practical advice. We should show up early, because they assume not everyone is going to show up on the first day and only a limited number of people will be let in. She let us know that if we were caught with a cell phone, the police would be called and the phone would be searched for pictures -- and we would be terminated. Interestingly, you walk into the facility with just an ID badge, but you must walk out through metal detectors. Mama P also let us in on a secret about what the number one stolen item was in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Condoms.
The BBC is halfway between government funded and private, because the money is from a licence to (originally) receive TV signals, and fairly directly from that.

This is different from (UK) motor vehicle duty, where the income and the expenses have nothing much to do with each other, and more like the requirement for all (UK) motorists to have insurance.

On the other hand, the UK government gets upset every so often about BBC coverage of its policies and reacts by threatening it with a lower licence fee, so it’s not not government funded either.

It's mostly pretty standard linear algebra (from matrix operations to vector spaces to eigenvalue/eigenvectors) and some circuit theory (KVL, KCL, op-amps, circuit design etc) and some signal processing (cross-correlation, OMP, Sparse OMP, least squares etc). All EE/CS students take this class in Berkeley, it is strongly recommended to be taken as freshman (unless you take Math 54 which is an equivalent course with no circuit theory). It is followed by EE16B which includes further topics in linear algebra (SVD!), circuits (transistors!) and signal processing (Fourier Series!), and CS70 which includes discrete mathematics and probability theory. This series is usually taken along with programming based classes CS 61A and CS 61B; and after finishing both of these series students start taking "upperdivision" classes.
