This was interesting enough for me to sign up and try going through the onboarding experience.

The tutorial tooltip modals seem a bit janky - selected/hovered objects on the canvas float over top of them [1] so you can't read the instructions on what to do next. On closer inspection, this seems to be intentional, and you can drag the modals around, but this wasn't very intuitive. Also, the panel resizing hover effect shows up when hovering the mouse inside the modal [2], which is a bit odd.

Otherwise, this is a cool tool which I may use for making simple apps for non-technical people to use.

I blaming tech overload at the moment, but I'm trying to remember some of the "supporting email as a notification / response mechanism" that I have seen / used in the past that took those emails and put them into a threaded responses kind of graphical hierarchy.

I kind of get this with searches in thunderbird email client, but I can't quite remember if phpbb or vbulletin does that. I am guessing slack, rocket chat and similar have some kind of bots or bouncers kind of things that could re-insert replies and group by threads.

Maybe it's just having a new view layer added into into some of the systems and giving the option to get notified and reply by email, as well as other methods that others may prefer.

I think we need to remind people posting in forums and other softwares that others may be getting plaintext-viewable-by-the-world emails of the posts and replies - that's a security gap I think many would not consider if they do not use those methods, so a reminder would be good.

Of course adding an option to get pgp encypted emails only and blocking plaintext for example might be a step up and in the better direction for adaptability and moving towards future better.

Still can't pinpoint where I have seen similar things used in the past or what it was called at the moment.
The article seems to assume the reader knows about "strong towns". If they're trying to make an argument about overspending on roads it's very poorly worded and organized.

Sure, I separate heavyweight tests out into integration/acceptance tests (the side effects make them slow; the side effects mean they're not really unit tests). So, I don't commit until the unit tests pass, and then a PR triggers heavyweight tests on my build server, to be sure you're clean before the merge to master.

But if there's too much divergence between unit test and integration test pass/fail rates, then unit test coverage needs to be improved; obviously, easier said then done when you have old pre-TDD that's tightly coupled and/or code that's interacting with the system and incurring side effects that are hard/expensive to test.
So "View As" a tool intended to help you prevent leaking data about yourself was used by others to leak your data. What a complete shit show this company has become.

Are these just county roads or does it also include State and Federal highways? I’d imagine there may be multiple sources of funding available.
"Cryptocurrency level of decentralization" is more centralized than git. It has to be, because it's about maintaining a global ledger, whereas even within a single project there's no need for git to sync at any given point.

Proof of work to avoid spam is orthogonal - it could be introduced without any sort of race (there have long been such proposals around email) but putting together a patch set that seems anything like plausible seems sufficient "proof of work" in this context for most projects.

For what it's worth, I'd be weary of putting too much weight on these types of articles when it comes to judging how difficult Rails upgrades are.

Rails was hugely popular for years (and still is, in a lot of ways). There are countless articles about it and it's been for a ton of projects. There are a lot of internal Rails apps built on earlier versions that are owned by companies with either limited in-house development resources, or none at all; in which case, it's easy for decision-makers on the business side to push off updates (assuming they even know about them). "That doesn't sound like a big deal, we'll just do it for the next one." A bit of time passes, and then you're two major releases behind and you're looking at a serious effort. Or maybe it's developers who make that decision for what are likely valid reasons in the short-term. Upgrades across multiple major releases aren't exactly uncommon because of that, and there are a lot of articles detailing them, blog posts discussing or complaining about them, questions on SO, etc. as a result.

For the most part, though, I don't that that Ruby or RoR is uniquely difficult to upgrade compared to other frameworks. I've handled upgrades across versions that have gone ridiculously smoothly, and some not so smoothly.

"a Master Inventor with over 40 issued and pending patents"
and you don't list or go into detail about a single one?.. That's just being vague with an attempt to deceive.

Maybe the creator should actually list what successful, useful products they have made in the past - what they learned from those experiences rather than just 'oh i met some woman who wrote some book.'

I wouldn't have even considered the authors race and gender except its the only part of their identity they seem to put on the page (aside from having 40 issued and pending patents.) It's sad that this is what their main way of convincing me of their aptitude is.

This website (iFundWomen) is also inherently sexist. If there was an iFundMen, I will bet you $100 that it would get so much shit.
Usually just county roads. State roads and federal highways receive federal tax dollars.

That’s not to say you can’t get federal or state grants for some roadway related local projects, but these roads described would be primarily county roads built with borrowed money (or local tax dollars if they’re available, which they usually aren’t, hence the bond issue kicking the can down the road).

I'm legitimately interested in any counter-arguments to this video, as just because he posts some... questionable... videos, doesn't mean they're ALL wrong.
Laser-Carrying Airplanes Uncover Massive, Sprawling Maya Cities
I appreciate the comment but for me seeing is believing. I’ve heard many people make claims like yours, but across 5 “enterprise” software jobs at large companies (many thousands of engineers) and 2 jobs at medium startups ~10 yrs old and 300+ engineers, I’ve never ever seen any type of formal methodology make any impact or difference of any kind.

I’ve only ever seen non-engineers arguing about process crap and making claims like this, while engineers are forced to learn a bizarre skill set of how to actually solve problems despite this quarter’s latest and greatest new process thingy that’s going to fix it all.

To be honest I'll probably use Retool for my next programming project for

- A "migrations dashboard",

- User management,

- All kinds of other annoying ad-hoc data tasks that don't (or "don't yet") merit code in my git repo.

I think it's really "ActiveAdmin but better, and for every platform."
Increasingly in Collin and Denton county, highways are becoming privatized. This is great for maintenance and quality, but it is definitely regressive for the poorer. However, these counties are rapidly becoming more populated by more wealthy individuals and txdot is anything but rapid.
I really love stories about people who become totally, utterly absorbed in something, to the point where they obsessively spend time on it, in a kind of natural sense that does not require checklists, reminders, etc. It's just always their top priority, like an addiction, except with meaning and depth.

I envy the absorption in a creative activity and also the growth they experience in terms of their skills. Think about it - at this point this guy isn't just a great programmer, he is also an accomplished designer, artist, writer and musician. A true renaissance person.

I'm quite focused compared to many people and I don't waste a lot of time with social media, television, etc., but I'm nowhere near like this guy.

About four years ago I decided I wanted to learn a second language and I poured a lot of effort into learning Spanish over a three year period. I got to the point where I could carry on a conversation with a Spanish-speaking person quite naturally, read the news in Spanish, etc., but I never felt entirely fluent. Then things got busy and my attention shifted and now, a year after I was last really actively learning, I know my skills have deteriorated.

I want to get back into it but I'm struggling to find the motivation. It feels like work and I already work hard. And truthfully, it always felt like work, it's just that I really wanted the experience of understanding and being able to speak another language. I got to that point, but I don't feel like I took it far enough - and this seems true of so many things in my life. Pretty good programmer (at one point), decent enough entrepreneur, not a bad father, solid writer, crappy musician but having fun with it, kind of fit but not terribly so, etc. In short, jack of all trades, master of none.

I realize I'm rambling a bit, but to tie it back to where I began, obsession seems like a bit of a cognitive shortcut to me, a path to excellence that feels less like work and more like addiction. Is that true or am I just intellectually lazy? I want to dive into something, to find something that holds my attention raptly for the long term and generates true personal growth along the way, but I don't know what that would be, and in four decades of living on this planet I don't think I've ever come across anything that fits that bill.
At first glance, it looks like good material. I wish more courses like these charged money though

On Udemy, there's a particular course-author I like a great deal (Anthony Alicea iirc) who made a huge difference when I was first learning nodejs & angularjs. Unfortunately, it looks like he only gets to work on these courses here and there - the final project of the Nodejs course has been in-progress for years now at this point.

I can't help but wish that he was able to make more money from these courses so that he would be motivated to develop another 2-3 of them. As-is, it seems like a lot of good teachers end up teaching on a part time basis only (there are some youtube tutorial creators I have in mind here too)
That's the whole idea, right? "Do things that don't scale" means not letting future logistical concerns get in the way of discovering a viable market. But once you do find a good one, you scale the fuck out of it.

This feeling that “man dock.app is crashing more” followed by a few otool queries showing more Swift libraries gives me a vague suspicion that Swift rewrites have been leading to more end user noticeable crashes. I’d find it interesting to see some actual statistics on it in the form of “x crashes per 1 hour of program usage”. Perhaps it’d actually be lower than Obj-C but it doesn’t feel that way. Is it due to Swift error handling or just to rewrites? This would be an ideal time to get such statistics ! As it’s not often a giant platform starts switching to a new language and offer the chance to gather real stats rather than bikesheading or doing undergrad cohort experiments would be very interesting.

It's very unlikely that Google employees are going to be representative of Google's users as a whole (just look at the startups building niche products for Bay Area techies). Ditto if you only looked at data of users that opted in (maybe they're highly unrepresentative).

That means the heuristics/models that get built would be a worse fit for you, as a user, although it sounds like that's a tradeoff that you'd like.
Efficient implementation of a protocol can be patent encumbered.

I bet at least until the whole .com .exe stuff was sorted out. After .exe was created they finally got more than a single segment in a binary, so they probably we're using C by then for some things at least.

dynamic libraries on macOS are dylibs. There is a debate whether 'ld' is short for load/loader, or link editor. So you can either read it as the dynamic library load tool or the dynamic link editor.

A shared dyld cache would be a cache of metadata used for linking, but not sure if that is for link-time or runtime.
If you run your own smtpd/MX and are not yet doing TLS1.2 for connections to other mail servers, before enforcing only TLS for MX-to-MX smtp traffic, a good first step is to set up to opportunistically negotiate TLS. 95% of the big mail senders (google, office365, etc) will negotiate TLS with your smtpd and transfer that way.

You can use letsencrypt in standalone mode to get free, valid public CA-signed certs for your mail server.

I fail to understand how the YC deal operates as a SAFE with 7% equity?

If the SAFE is a non-priced round, then the amount of equity the investor gets is decided when the conversion happens, so it is an unknown, which is why a cap exists.

Is YC taking 7% + the conversion?
the British education system and establishment (aristocracy, business, corporation of London, parliament, the lord's, judiciary, the class system) was designed/evolved to keep them rich and holders of power ad infinitum.

Noted by John Stuart Mill in the 1870s, as reported by Han Jensen:

the members of the university "hierarchy" made it their "business, the business for which they ... [were] paid," to "uphold certain political as well as religious opinions," namely those of the "ruling powers of the state" (J.S. Mill, Autobiography and Literary Essays, p. 429 (1981), J.S. Mill, Journals and Debating Speeches, p. 350. (1988) ). Thus the universities pursued with vigor their assignment to inculcate in their students those political and ideological views that were cherished by the power elite. The graduates of the ancient universities were, therefore, well prepared for employment in, and by, those institutions that were instrumental in perpetuating the existing maldistribution of income.

Which plugin are you referring to that you don't bother with? The main one I know of is honey, which is automated, and takes about ten seconds while they run through the most popular, and if you choose to continue they'll run through the full list of recently valid coupons which adds at most another twenty seconds. 30 seconds of time to save 10 to 30 percent most of the time is worth it to me. The only time I ever think to skip the check is on sites like Amazon or Wal-Mart where the majority of coupons are for very specific items. But even on sites like Jet and Target I often get lucky.
Ah, I didn't even consider the commercial space! That's a good point - at enterprise scale, there are definitely huge cost savings. Smart factories or offices, for example.

A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, Their Mitigation and Open Problems
The premise of the argument is that Collin county needs to spend $12.6 billion on roads over the next 30 years, but no citation is provided for that number. The authors managed to have found citations for most of the other numbers. I suspect the $12.6 billion figure was not calculated using the same set of assumptions about inflation as the other numbers.

Edit:

Over 30 years, $230 million / year with a 4% annual escalator is about $12.9 billion in total spending. Lets assume that Plano's $343 million / year in spending for 30% of county residents is consistent with other cities and add in the $381 million / year spent by the county. Then the required local highway spending is about 15% of the total ~1.5 billion spent by all local governments.

Perhaps it is a large amount of money, but spending 15% of the local budget on highways does not seem like an insurmountable burden on local taxpayers.
Too many ideas, too little time! I am already thinking for a while about how Deep Learning and Genetic Algorithms could benefit each other.

GAs allow optimization of parameters without a differentiable loss function - a major problem with evaluating behavior of a neural model, for example.

But also GAs could benefit from ML/DL. Predicting loss functions from a chromosome representation (to save computing time), learning to select promising pairs and even learning cross-over operators.
