I enjoyed playing with the playground a bit, though as a developer I don't think I'd find it more convenient to use Webflow vs just writing the CSS myself, since Grid is pretty simple. However, maybe I am not your target market, so that's fine.

Some more specific feedback:

1. The initial example (the Theater flyer) is very busy visually, and looks nothing like a usable web page (sideways text?). Again, maybe this is me misunderstanding what webflow is for, but I think I would prefer a slightly less complex initial view of the grid.

2. I don't understand the second image, of the frowny computer icon. Again, looks nothing like a web page and I'm not sure of the relevance of the image to CSS grid. There's a hint says "turn that frown upside down" which I assume is a cute prompt that I should do something with the design... but... what? I looked for an affordance to indicate that I could rotate the grid, but there isn't one. I could find no way to rotate it. What am I supposed to be doing here?

3. The fourth one says "These shapes aren't in the right place". Aren't they? Where are they supposed to be? What am I supposed to do here? Is it just trying to show me that things can be moved around? I figured that out on the first page. Also (minor) the arrow is not actually pointing at shapes, it's pointing at a blank part of the layout.

4. By the time I get to the end of the examples / demo I haven't seen anything that looks like something that I would be dealing with as a web developer. So, I'm unclear whether this tool is something that is intended for me, or as a way to use grids to design print media?

TL;DR: there's no need to feel hungry, you can graze on plain intact vegetables all day long. Use calisthenic exercise to keep you honest through feedback.

My experience going from 225lbs to 165lbs and keeping it there for over a decade now +-5lbs suggests there's no need to feel hungry at all, as long as I'm eating the right foods.

I didn't use any exercise, just removed sugars and most refined carbohydrates and processed foods in general. Most the food I eat by volume is raw organic produce. I can eat plain heads of lettuce all day long and I will not gain weight. I eat canned wild sardines, salmon, and sometimes tuna for protein and omega-3s, with the occasional (~weekly) meat binge.

Once my weight stabilized at 165, physical activity became a lot more appealing so I started hiking, running, doing hand stands, pushups, generally being more active and this has given me a more masculine physique but doesn't seem to play much part in maintaining my weight.

Sometimes I experiment by ceasing most physical activity for a week or two, and mostly what happens is I become less sexy looking, the weight is more or less the same with the uniform mostly-produce diet. My mood does deteriorate though.

When I deviate from the diet, usually for social reasons, eating meat more often or letting more refined carbs and generally processed foods in, my weight immediately goes up.

Another thing I've learned to appreciate about physical activity is the feedback it provides. Calisthenics like hand stands, pushups, pullups, all give direct feedback on your power:weight ratio. It's a lot more impactful to only be able to do 80 pushups when last week you were doing 100 every day, than see your weight increased by 10lbs on a bathroom scale. This feedback, for me, plays a more significant role in maintaining my weight through diet via exercise than any direct calorie burning.

For a great primer on ZFS (on Linux) in general there's this website[1] by Aaron Toponce that is very well laid out. Specifically see the section on snapshots & clones, as well as sending/receiving. Also don't forget that you can make a ZFS pool out of any block device, this includes normal files mounted as a loop device! So a great way to experiment w/ learning how to manage a ZFS pool is to just create a few sparse files, add them to a pool, and just start messing around with it. (For actual production pools though always put ZFS as close to the actual disks as possible.)

What's really cool about serialized snapshots is that once native encryption support lands in ZFSonLinux you'll be able to send encrypted volumes over the wire. The data blocks don't have to be decrypted to be serialized or checked for integrity, so you don't even need the decryption key to do incremental sends! You can send your backups to an untrusted remote pool that never has to have knowledge of the decryption key!

(You can also serialize snapshots to files, which is useful for say writing them to detachable media to sneakernet them. If you want to do incremental sends though the receiver does have to be an actual zpool.)

Some other helpful hints would be using something like `mbuffer`[2] on the sender & receiver. This is handy for spinning rust pools, so that your disks don't have to wait on the network before seeking to the next blocks to be sent.

Also ZFS lets you delegate permissions so you can manage filesystems as normal users, I'd recommend doing this so you don't have to login as root on the remote pool to receive the snapshots.[3] In my case I ran into this early on because I have `PermitRootLogin no` on all my boxes.

Thanks for the suggestion! This does seem potentially more effective.
> What I meant is that the trio Python/Java/C is ubiquitous for many people in both entreprises and scientific fields, from embedded to web servers. It allows for great reusability of codes and people's skills.

That's true. But it's also Academia's role to try (and fail or succeed) at developing and evaluating new solutions; and in the case of Julia, I have to concede I'm pretty excited to see where they will be going. The solution of mixing the ‶glue″ and the ‶high performances″ languages in a single one while still letting people call upon older C ABI libs is a little revolution in this context.

> If you have to reuse C and Fortran libraries, why not just use Python which can do the same, or even Lua, or Lisp. Python is already the defacto language to glue libraries together onto a higher level algorithm.

Because Julia is far faster, and because no GIL.

Of course, like in every other tech, what floats my boat doesn't necessarily floats your, so maybe for your usecase Python/Lisp/Lua/Ruby/... is better.

Conspiratorial but I like it.
First, it's saying that the spike of activity started on 14th rather than that that's when it was detected or first acted upon. September 14th was a Friday. Due to the weekend, it's unlikely anyone would have noticed before the 17th unless the anomaly was actually triggering production critical warnings. The pratical timeline was one week.

Second, if the counters that were being triggered by the attack weren't obviously malicious, it's likely that for some amount of time it was treated as a lower priority figure out what's going on deal rather than a sign of something being critically wrong.

"Hey, we're getting 25% increase in access to the video uploader but the number of successful uploads is normal. Did we break the page somehow and people are having to reload the page?". And then somebody spends a day looking at what was pushed the previous Thursday before deciding that the widget is working correctly and escalating to someone else.

It's also highly likely that the product teams at Facebook (who would probably have started the investigation, since it was product-related counters going up rather than something obviously security-related) might not have sufficient access to logs to determine the exact sequence of events. Maybe they didn't have the raw IP addresses of the requests, so couldn't realize that all this increase in traffic was coming from a handful of systems. Maybe they could only see the requests to their own service, but not the full path of requests to other services that the attacker used to pivot from one vulnerability to another.

A week after detection to deciding it was a security issue seems like a pretty plausible timeline to me.

> It's not private, it's a national resource.

If you're setting rules for how something can be used then you're treating it as your private property. Even if you happen to be the U.S. government. So-called "public property" is nothing more or less than property the government has claimed for its own exclusive (i.e. private) use.

> Every time you fly any airliner you use this system.

Obviously. That's the same as saying "planes fly in the air". But commercial flights follow defined routes between specific airports; they don't need to claim the entire atmosphere for that, just the relatively tiny corridors they routinely fly through.

> Generally, [below 400' AGL is] not considered navigable unless it's being used takeoff and landing.

And yet here we are, with the FAA imposing onerous regulations on hobbyists flying model aircraft too small to pose any realistic threat to anything well below that altitude.
Light travels roughly 300 billion m/s, so at 10 trillion fps, light moves about 3cm.
There have for a few decades been a progressive activist sub-culture in the bay area, mostly springing out of berkeley social science departments, and they seem through brute force and bullying tactics to define what is "rightspeak" as what furthers their activist agenda. Their agenda is to fight for their in-group.

If you look you'll notice what is defined as the in-group not changing much, while what is defined as the target for change does change and expand over time. The goal seems to be to have their in-group win at whatever cost necessary.

The fundamental problem with Rand's ideology is her cartoonish categorization of everyone that isn't Galt-esque or an enthusiastic, hypercompetent support person as evil looters/parasites. Iirc, Galt is basically trying to collapse society for everyone but the former.

When you realize that you can't just write off people because they didn't turn out to be brilliant entrepreneurs or perky worker bees, and that the workings of government and justice are more complicated than Rand would allow, Atlas Shrugged does become pretty repugnant. Granted, she was reacting to her experiences with communism, so I don't totally blame her for going all the way to the other extreme.

But insofar as someone wants to invent great things and do well from them, I don't take issue with that.

You need some kind of global (or not-so global) persistent namespace. And ability to interoperate with the outside world. It's not a bad idea to have a separate API for managing persistent state vs ephemeral state -- or at least that's not a bad convention we've developed over the years in order to allow for some sanity in state management. Persistent image-based systems like Smalltalk tend in my experience to degrade to a confusing mess and become difficult to reason about over time unless you end up introducing concepts that start looking suspiciously like files.
I've been using nomorobo (app for $2 a month) that uses a massive blacklist to block robocalls. It works really well and you can share whatever calls sneak through to them to add to their blacklist.

It's better than the do not disturb option because it doesn't also block text notifications.

Really this would all be massively simpler if iOS allowed your contacts to act as a whitelist and just push all other callers straight to voicemail.
Following up - The advisor is just being lazy and doesn't want to read the ACTUAL SAFE Note, and would prefer an abridged version (i.e Term Sheet).
I believe the approach in your video relies on a single laser pulse per frame, with many laser pulses combined to create the series of images for the video. The new approach, in contrast, emphasizes that the capture is done using a single laser pulse captured sequentially in real time.
So I had a quick poke around on the wake word github repo but it looks like you cant generate custom keywords for the raspberry pi. Is that correct? So you have to use the pre-built ones in the resources directory? There seem to be a lot files in there but how do I know what each one does?
You aren't aware of every little detail about the actions that companies perform that affects the products you use. You don't know everything about water treatment, energy, housing construction, civil engineering, etc. And you don't know about those things because you trust people who do know to do the right thing. That's how society works. That's how billions of Facebook and Google users are.

Facebook and Google should get in major trouble when they mistreat their data (like the Cambridge Analytica scandal with Facebook), but you disliking the data they collect and/or their business model does not mean that everyone else will.

I know full well the type of data Google and Facebook collect about me and I just don't care. There's plenty of people in the tech industry that don't care either.

I doubt that most ISPs who can't be bothered to apply security updates are going to notice a 5 minute reboot.

Split the difference - email the user that an update will apply on $date unless they do it first, or if they delay it (and don't let them delay it indefinitely).
Δd = 1cm = 0.01m

For the camera to pick up 1cm of difference between frames, you have to capture 3x10^6 frames per second. You can do the limit for how much you want your delta to be just by multiplying by the speed of light.

>We’re still learning all the tricks needed to make a very large React app performant, but we haven’t looked back.

Have you thought about creating a Webflow UI library for React itself that would appeal to frontend devs as well?

It would be cool if you could use Webflow also as a tool to build React components or widgets, and then enhance a Webflow project with more dynamic app like features. This would appeal to many digital product designers I think.

Basically Webflow as a React UI framework for web apps of all sorts.
JavaScript appears to have been primarily created to spy on users. I don't need every website to take over the presentation of content. Information shouldn't be coupled with design to limit choice. I'm ready for a new browser that uses a more modern markup format.
Facebook Whose Support Made FOSTA Law, Now Sued for Facilitating Sex Trafficking
If someone manages to place malicious code onto any of the small number of websites I visit, I'm certain the first thing they'd be trying to do is exploit vulnerabilities in software that <0.001% of the site visitors would be using. The more vulnerabilities they attempt to exploit the faster they're going to be noticed so that's a risky gambit.

Outside of vulnerabilities related to web browsing, software vulnerabilities rely on new, untrusted code running on my machine and in many cases the exploits rely on someone having physical access to my machine.

The threat models just aren't all that relevant to me.

The more realistic threat model is software being compromised and the auto-update feature pushing out malicious code to all of the users like what happened with the Transmission BitTorrent Client.
Right, and my point is that all required fields prevents you from iterating. Your software doesn't age at all.

I've never found the problems you describe, and I work with some of the oldest protos around!
> It's loose best effort markup with no good consensus on semantics.

And PDF has good semantics? Are we still on the topic of how HTML is better than PDF, or…? We're in the comments for a page that says that PDF tables are characters just floating in space, and people are saying most PDFs out there don't have semantic markup. Meanwhile HTML had semantics efforts for decades now, just choose your flavor.

Blind people read HTML, you know. Do they read PDFs?

> HTML with images is not good option for papers which have many equations.

There's MathML for that, and IIRC other formats too. You could even have embedded TeX like Anki has. Use SVG for fallback.

>> Have a static HTML version that's rendered the same in the future

> We don't have that.

Ooh, chicken-and-egg again? Freeze any of the versions from the past decade with the rendering standards, and you'll have it.

But actually, it doesn't even matter, just like HTML 2.0 can be rendered fine on modern devices (aside from the different text size). Treat your paper as a paper instead of a webzine, don't use crazy layouts, just do “text, image, text” which you'll want anyway for the different displays—and your document will render fine in the future when it will be delivered straight to the retina, instead of making me scroll the PDF back and forth because no reflow.
Don’t worry, Facebook. I was affect by this (even though my account has been disabled for 2 years) and realized I should leave finally. So I did. And nothing will bring me back to any service you have since you’ve only demonstrated CYA and uncaringness. If you really cared, you’d compensate me monetarily for my loss due to your negligence.
What I've taken away from the last few years of watching large companies deal with bad actors is that cyberwarfare is here. The public is yet unaware that we technologists have become front line soldiers battling against nation state actors and brigands, and not just for their child's birthday address. I've listened to plenty of OWASP/Black Hat talks about critical pieces of infrastructure ("air gaped" power grids for example) hacked by red teams. This is scary stuff. We all need to start treating this like the hidden war it is and start planning for the worst. Cyberware is no longer the warfare of the future it is the now.
One of his anonymous accusers came out publicly in response to this essay. What she details definitely isn't rape, but it does sound like repeated harassment, and she says she has heard from other women who haven't yet come forward.

The author of the linked essay is suing the creator of the Shitty Media Men list claiming defamation. This seems like a poor strategy on his part, as it will get many of those previously anonymous women to detail their interactions with him and while they may not encompass rape or attempted rape either, they are overwhelmingly likely to make him look, well, shitty.

It's this kind of Kool-aid swallowing of React that has kept me away from it. I don't care how great of a tool it is.

To paraphrase the last 8th of the presentation:

- Use React.

- If we all just use React, React will live forever.

- React is better because users.

So much of the rhetoric around React is disturbingly cultish.
Not common at all.

I was an eng at FB when the "View as" feature was being built. I wasn't involved in the project at all, and my memory is hazy (this was probably 7 years ago by now), but I remember people being like "wow this is crazy and probably a bad idea".

I don't actually know if View As generating access tokens was how it worked originally, or if that was a later refactor. Just, in general, spoofing privacy / access control is really scary, no matter how you do it.

However, at the time, Facebook was getting a lot of shit (rightfully) for not helping users understand the privacy model, and the View As feature was actually incredibly useful for helping users understand what was public. So my guess (pure speculation) is that yes, people acknowledged it was scary, but decided the value was worth the cost.

"but you disliking the data they collect and/or their business model does not mean that everyone else will."

I never said that, in fact I explicitly said the opposite.

"I know full well the type of data Google and Facebook collect about me and I just don't care."

Yes, and you were able to make an informed decision because you do know. Not everyone knows. That's the entire point I was making.
