You definitely can. I do: https://cretz.github.io/doogie/. Prebuilt versions are available at http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html. In fact, I'd say shipping with the browser is ideal for a few reasons. It's not a lib that should be shared across the system IMO.

I don't think the bubble is bursting at all. If anything its maturing. It's not working for large companies. But I now listen to podcasts more than I read books and I learn more that way as well. Most of these podcasts come from small independent sources. Human conversation was how stories were spread for thousands of years, until the printing press. Now we have the technology to share information through conversation, but with the same reach as written language. Among my group of friends, talking about what podcasts we've read has become very similar to the old conversations we had about boost. The best podcasts are in depth often niche discussions similar to books. The don't require the production level of TV, which is great because a lot of great podcasts don't have a large enough audience to support that cost. They require time, and expertise to produce, not much money.

I mostly agree with you, but I wouldn't entirely blame nonprofits. There's a lot of public pressure on nonprofits to reduce costs as much as possible because everyone is obsessed with "overhead". This TED talk explains the problems with this situation really well:

https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_abou...

Choice quote: "so in the for-profit sector, the more value you produce the more money you can make, but we don't like non-profits to use money to incentive people to produce more in social service. We have a visceral reaction to the idea that anyone would make much money helping other people; interesting that we don't have a visceral reaction to the notion that people would make a lot of money not helping other people."

My real dream is to build an EMR designed for patient care, but is also able to do billing (all EMRs were designed and built for billing specifications, and is one of the reasons they all suck to use as clinicians). But I don't have the time or energy to pursue the enterprise sales apparently necessary for the field.

That hits close to home for me recently. I was very attached to the company I work for that I sacrificed myself for it. I've, in a way, lost who I am as a person, and became more-or-less a tool that produces code. Not a human at all.

About a month ago, I put in leave for the first time in 4 years. I rarely take the day off, so this was a big deal. And, I felt kinda guilty doing it. Even though the rest of the team took their time off, I felt I had to be the responsible one.

Well, the week before the leave was to occur, we had an "important demo" to get ready for. This demo was something out of the blue, but I was asked to still work during my leave. I said "OK" an was really pissed.

That night I couldn't sleep. I felt that I put in all my quality work, why can I not take my proper leave like everyone else? The next day, I put my leave back in and took a nice restful week off last week!

The world didn't end. I'm still employed, and the demo (the all important demo) was canceled because other devs haven't even finished their work.

It felt good to be detached emotionally. Never again will I sacrifice my personal time again at work. Its not worth it to yourself, and also to the company.

Maybe podcasts made for the sole purpose of advertising. Podcasts made by interesting people talking about exciting topics like JRE aren’t going anywhere.
I hope podcasting keeps growing. It's unique in some important ways, from other "new media" mediums.

It's decentralized & private. No one owns podcasting. Being protocol-centric rather than service-centric (eg youtube) has left it relatively free (as in speech). Being subscriber-centric has made the medium resistant to clickbait and spam and encouraged quality... Some of these are qualities remind me of the web circa 1998 or blogging circa 2004.

That doesn't mean there aren't problems. Discovery is poor, for example.

Turning popular into profitable... that's always been tough for online content. Same goes for youtube, blogging, etc.

Personally, I'm hoping it evolves into a youtube alternative.
You don't seem to comprehend the fact that in the scope of the GDPR they can't sell to "some Chinese company" without your consent.

If you can only explain why selling is worse by creating a scenario where the selling is done without consent or in an equally malicious/shady way, that doesn't demonstrate that selling is inherently worse.

Selling isn't worse. Selling without regard for a user's rights is bad. But Google is already engaging in abusive behavior as far as users' rights are concerned.

Also, I know this is hard to understand if you're not used to real privacy laws, but if a company sells your data and you invoke your rights against the company, it's the company's responsibility to go after whoever they sold the data to, not yours.

The People Who Could Have Done Science Didn't
I found that a curious omission too -- it's hardly possible to have a meaningful study of SQL-on-Hadoop interactive analytics in 2017 (conservatively assuming there is a 1-year lag between the study and the paper) without including Hive LLAP and Presto.

But having been part of the academic machine, I kind of understand. These things happen.

EDIT: I notice that a short paper was submitted to IEEE in 2017, so the study was probably done in 2016, which may explain the omission.

> As I understand it, a blockchain is a decentralized database which does not require the individual instances to have perfect connectivity and perfect trust all the time.

Specifically, perfect trust in the log itself. Blockchain gives you a guard against someone trying to retroactively tamper with the log. It doesn't give you a whole lot of help with the points where data enters the log in the first place.

e.g., the blockchain solution to, "there was a network partition when you tried to enter that transaction, and you entered it on the smaller partition" is to declare that that transaction never happened. I can't see how this is an acceptable solution for logistics. With Bitcoin it's easy enough to say that the blockchain is reality, but with supply chain management, it doesn't matter that the blockchain says your kumquats are in a warehouse in LA; if they're on a train bound for Chicago, they're on a train bound for Chicago.
That doesn't work the same as pihole. PiHole blocks ads on ALL devices on your network. Your computer, your laptop, your phone, your kids kindle, etc. As long as they are on your network, they are protected (and browsing web pages on an older phone, things are much faster)
Personally, I just make a blog for myself, so I can send someone a link instead of explaining myself over again.

Most of the emails I've gotten haven't really been useful though, but I have met interesting people I would not have otherwise.

At the end of the day, people don't know you, or know what you know. There's many ways to present this information, be it youtube videos or blogs, or both. People can either find you through keyword aggregation, looking for similar problems and find yours, or simply looking at your resume and click to learn more about you

Just depends what you are aiming for. You can have multiple blogs if you want as well, crosspost for greater effect, etc

Sturgeon's Law: 95% of everything is crap. Probably especially when the barrier to entry is as low as it is for podcasts.

There is a tendency for podcasts in general to go on for too long IMO. But there are plenty of good ones out there. I mix up my listening a fair bit but there's no shortage of interesting content on all sorts of topics.
For patreon it's trust based. Each contributor gets a mail with a link to a private rss feed they have to enter in their podcast app - and you're not supposed to share that with anyone.

I would assume the platform has some measures if it discovers a lot of downloads or requests from very different geolocations too - but that's just me speculating.

In addition to those technical options, they have been substantially reducing revenue to producers and their algorithms have been shifting popular videos out of visible areas. Often popular producers will see sudden losses in their incomes.

Videos are not enough to sustain, they're like apps; a part of a larger revenue model. This disincentivizes smaller, interesting producers and pushes the platform to be more like network television was, with handfuls of large, conventionally attractive people.

I don't find it terrible at all now, but i hope it doesn't keep going in this direction. It's currently a wonderful resource for people who want to do all kinds of things from home and garden improvements, to cooking, improve mental and physical health, etc. Far closer to the utopian dreams of early internet enthusiasts than most other sites.

Huge difference legally between running:

And having a user certify that they read a license agreement. I'll leave it to lawyers to talk about whether a user actually agrees to a license when they run "npm install", but Oracle's site at least requires the user to accept the license agreement by physically clicking a button. And I've worked at a lot of companies that drill into you that you do not click that button without approval from legal.

Quitting my job at an enterprise software company. I worked for a series of companies that wrote software that they didn't actually use (or at least their operations didn't depend on using it). Not eating their own dog food meant they could get away with selling software that didn't work very well. It was demoralizing to be told we had to prioritize making new things over fixing what we had.

Now I only work for companies that use their software to provide a service. There is more of an incentive for the software to actually work.
Glad it worked out in the end for you!

You can set the copies setting differently for different parts of the filesystem which could potentially help -- if you have /home/ set to two copies at least you're not paying double for programs.

There's an interesting discussion happening in the comments where the fact that Troy's (very low key, topically relevant, non tracking, entirely text based) sponsorship banner is being blocked by some AdBlockers. I've found the same thing with Reddit ads (which also seem quite reasonable).

I find it interesting reading all the comments here. I can understand the frustration of many HN users, but I also have seen "average" users be confused about switching google accounts on a shared computer.

Of course I have deployed it on a Raspberry. I don't have another always-on computer, and while it's not the only supported target, it is the one most Pi-Hole users have, so I get maximum community support.

Been using the pi-hole for a couple of years now. Can only say good things about it, as it also disallow porn and the such (which is good with kids in the family).

Disclaimer: I have a company and I've started a few in the past.

My take is that the loyalty a company has towards a given employee cannot be the same, simply because it lacks the emotional basis that usually makes that loyalty as strong and/or as irrational. It's completely a matter of company culture which, in most cases, isn't very empathic to employees.

I don't think lack of loyalty is a rule though. I think that if the company culture is set up properly, it can totally have some form of valuable, albeit different, loyalty towards its employees.

I'll take a stab at answering this in a different way.

I think the pride comes in assuming that the being that created the book is exactly like yourself. That assumption is egocentric.

That the nature of the being who created this universe is complex, and isn't exactly like us, shouldn't be that surprising. Any being capable of such things would surely be different from us in some material way. When that being describes himself, and those descriptions do not line up with our expectations, thats ok. He doesn't exist inside the confines of the universe he created and that we live in, and is not bounded by it or its rules.

The gospel isn't, on the whole, that complicated. All mankind are sinners. The consequence of sin is death. The way to be saved from death is to accept a divine gift. To accept the gift, you need to acknowledge your sin, accept that the giver exists and that the gift exists, and ask for it. There are further details and surprising depth and beauty, but the basics are very simple.

I don't think He hid the keys.
