- I am not really familiar with Anaplan. You could probably compare them, but as far as I understand Anaplan is a more specialized (planning) tool.
- Egeria is a database itself. I use Sqlite as a key value store for persistence now. I will probably use Mongo in production.
- I will provide a command line tool to automate import and export with ETL tools in CSV format first. A better integration with relational databases would probably come later on.
- All formulas are computed on the server, so users don't run them. Only superusers/designers will be able to change formulas. A normal user will only be able to enter values and change metadata. The concurrency is implemented using locks and in-memory data structures on the server. Open two tabs on the same sheet and try changing values in one of the tabs to see how it works.
The timing is suspicious in that it comes shortly after a statement that "Canada will pay a heavy price."
Indeed, and thanks for pointing that out! I am not a fan of the simplified Gtk file dialog, even though I learned the trick of pressing Ctrl-L to edit the location. Let's see if that works with other Gtk apps. Edit: `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 inkscape/gimp` does not work, seems it requires sandboxing? The xdg-desktop-portal-kde package says "This allows sandboxed applications to request services from outside the sandbox using KDE GUIs".
...but does it run GoldenEye?

Kompose has been around for a little while, which essentially "compiles" your docker-compose.yml into K8S config files. However, Docker recently announced ability to deploy directly from docker-compose: https://blog.docker.com/2018/12/simplifying-kubernetes-with-...

My understanding is that you'll still need to do some work, especially if you are building via compose instead of pointing to an image on a registry.
No amount of “critical thinking” expose some of the tactics corporations employ to market products, especially in the internet era of fake positive reviews, fake negative reviews and just simply fake (counterfeit products).

For example, in the real world I did some independent marketing jobs in undergrad and while some marketing is obvious (ex. red bull team giving free red bull or handing free packs of gum out on the beach)...ever see a good looking couple driving a new car (yeah in my day driver was paid $25/hour to drive around a model in the passenger seat who got $50/hour. And it’s dozens in every major city), ever have someone at a bar casually engage you in conversation and buy you a drink/beer (yeah good chance that was paid marketing, and we aren’t talking bud light girls).

Mint will update transactions in the background (not only when you log in).

In order to do so, they most likely keep your banking password around in memory.

Note: Mint uses OAuth for access to Chase bank accounts, which is great. Last I checked Plaid does not.
It's true that it wasn't widely used, but it seems as if Mozilla did their best to make it that way. It wasn't exposed to the user by default, but instead was hidden as something you could get to by the toolbar customization screen, so you had to modify the toolbar to even get access to the feature.

I don't think most people even knew it was there.
If the drivers are in any way even possibly breaking the law, then the riders could go to the police. If the drivers were acting in a completely lawful, but undesirable, way then the riders could give the drivers a low rating. It is very safe to assume that the servers of Uber (and all other ride sharing services) work to opaquely disconnect passengers and drivers when either party has given the other a low rating. It's a good and obvious idea on all levels, including even just optimizing for max profit.

GCP is not nearly as good from my personal experience when it comes to support and reliability of services at scale. There are certainly some instances where GCP is easier to use, or they offer certain niche services that aren't exactly the same with AWS. Additionally given how close the costs are to begin with, it would very likely depend on your workloads as to which service was cheaper.

Overall I'd say Azure is the only real competition to AWS as a product (where they are often the most willing to negotiate a big deal), but googles open source efforts potentially pose a risk.

Here are the advantages of ls

1. It's already on my system. No installation necessary.

2. It's on EVERYBODY's system. No matter what Unix-based terminal I go up to, I know it has ls.

> I took my wife to see a 70mm showing of 2001 in September and she just yelled at me "What the hell was that?!"

I had a similar experience :) I gushed for years about how 2001 was one of my favorite movies and finally a few months ago there was a local 70mm showing, so I dragged her to it.

When it ended I said "wasn't that amazing?" and was met with "um... I can see how someone could like that movie"

Like you, I think I'll stick to talking to my dad about it. He loves telling me stories of when he saw it in the original 65mm or 70mm in theaters.
But why is that the pay is not so high?

Manufacturing the hardware requires a lot of capitol to begin with. Why these SSD vendors can't afford the high salary to lure the top talents?
Let's be honest, the chance of a multi-million dollar payoff for an employee is low regardless. Young entry-level devs are optimistic and also vulnerable to believing a line of bullshit on how much their options might be worth some day. I do agree it is a "higher" chance in web/mobile technology, sort of like how your chance of winning the lottery is "higher" if you buy 10 tickets instead of 1.
I suspect quite a bit. Real Estate is a huge asset class and correlates well with one of their biggest costs.
Exactly. Our plan going forward is to start breaking down burn by major factors like salary, rent, vendor spend.

Another interesting one we're looking at is the breakdown of burn by industry and stage. We can also then compare the major factors across these breakdowns to give really good comparisons for startups.

Hardware is a ruthlessly competitive business and profit margins are very thin.
DO's kubernetes release is an an example of why I am a big fan. As a sole developer, I can't afford high technical debt, but DO packages tech in a way I can manage. I hope they keep on and wish other services (here's looking at you AWS) would package their services as well.
Sometimes we have to have trust in private entities in order to achieve technical advancement. Also we don't want to discourage it for others
"(it was actually inside of a nuclear shelter within a Stockholm subway station)"

This sounds pretty amazing!!
Not just nukes. There were some tentative plans to use the shuttle with recon satellites. Either for on-orbit replacement of consumables (putting in more film), or returning a satellite to earth for reservicing and eventual reuse (which could also make getting the film back to earth much simpler)

Just want to call out that our worker node pricing is the same as our Droplets (servers). There is no price markup on using our managed service. In fact it's cheaper than deploying it yourself on DO because you don't have to pay for the master node.

> Scrollbar

One thing I like about the Firefox (Gtk?) scrollbar is that it finally removed (a few version ago already) the "Click on it somewhere, but it doesn't move there but just acts like PgDown/Up", i.e. the non-warping to the exact click position but just inching towards it. This is completely unnecessary in the time of wheels and touchpads and I already miss it everywhere else.
I think this is very realistic. These days prices move purely on speculation much more than they do on metrics like P/E. A source could have been in a short position, then after taking profit after the article was released could have bought up cheap shares. Thinking about the readership of Bloomberg, anything they publish will have a much larger market impact than an article in Ars. I think Bloomberg was played like a fiddle.

You could use Hephy Workflow (you might have heard of Deis Workflow?) on DOK8S to do that.

This is an open-source fork of Deis Workflow.

We're hoping to add support for Digital Ocean's Kubernetes and ancillary services like storage in the next release. Preliminary testing indicates that it is very much possible. The only dependencies of a prod Workflow deployment are, any compliant Kubernetes, Load Balancers, and an S3-api compatible storage, all of which are available on DO now.

The latest Hephy release does not yet support general S3-api compatibility with arbitrary S3 providers like DO, but DigitalOcean is our first target platform for expanding the supported offerings. The pull requests are open right now.

(Currently supported platforms include GCP/GKE, Amazon, and Azure AKS.)

Out of curiosity, have you done much work on examining your misclassifications? I'd be curious to know if there are giveaways for "negative" sentiment that show up in your task versus, say, reviews of Spiderman II.
I saw this and got excited about a new star fox game.
Yeah I saw that example and thought that the left was better. Which got me thinking about how subjective design can be. Which also reinforces the struggle I have to take a lot of design seriously.

There's a lot of really important parts of design. Stuff that when I'm told about, it's immediately obvious and makes sense. But then there's all this nonsense mixed in, often followed by a "you'll just have to trust me" kind of response from the designer.

I would agree that his films very much suit themselves to the silver screen, and watching them, e.g. on a laptop or computer-monitor sized screen is certainly not going to do it justice.

> We mid-to-late 80s children might have been a little older when computers were introduced, but it was absolutely a part of growing up

Not really surprised, since (as an early 1970s kid) most of my circle at school had computers by the time “mid-to-late 80s children” were being born.

My experience at Colbert was a mixed bag. They got all the guests in the lobby and one of the workers told us that our energy was very important, Colbert really feeds off of it, that it's important for the show. So they told us of the importance. But during the show there wasn't much prodding I guess. I forgot if they had an opener comedian.

What was a bit offputting was how quiet Colbert was when the camera was not running and how much more energetic he was when it was. I know they are playing it up for the camera, but it does make it feel ungenuine.

And add to that the format of the talk show. Each of the guests sorta comes up with a routine, planned by their publicists. If all goes well, they get their message across while being spontaneous. A hard thing to do, but also something that feels authentic. It's not just two buddies hanging out on TV.

You also realize that the TV audience is by far the most important part of the filming process. You're just a setpiece.

I'd almost say don't go to a talk show taping if you like them.
I does feel faster. I still can't watch a 1080p60 twitch stream without droping a ton of frames though.

Anecdotally the scrolling performance feels better on my 2018 Macbook Pro. I've been doing heavy work all morning (lots of scrolling around) and after updating, something feels better. Can't really prove any of this scientifically but good to percieve performance improvements.

I also have a brutally long Trello card that used to choke up Firefox (not as bad on Chrome). Happy to say that is no longer happening either.

Unfortunately Gmail still looks to have optimization that only work in Chrome. For whatever reason the time from first load to seeing the compose window after clicking "compose" is brutally slow in FFX, but not in Chrome.
Yep. A good example was the branding of the PS2's processor as the "Emotion Engine," (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_Engine) which in the runup to release got hyped as some kind of fundamental breakthrough in computing that would let the PS2 render things like faces with so much detail they'd be able to break your heart. This was all bunkum, of course, but it ensured that all the media oxygen got sucked into debates about how amazing the PS2 was going to be when it eventually shipped, instead of talking about consoles like the Dreamcast that you could buy right then.

Of course, Sega pretty much invented this PR game with the Genesis and "blast processing" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis#North_American_sa...), so in that respect they were kind of hoist by their own petard...
A normal spreadsheet is considered 2D. You could probably call Excel 3D if you count the multiple worksheets, but thats it. You cannot add the forth dimension.

Namecheap is good. Porkbun.com is worth keeping an eye on. I've got a few domains with them. Excellent support and really competitive pricing. gandi.net is also decent for certain international TLDs.

Those “3rd world business models” are amazingly efficient though. Just because the “1st world” is rich doesn’t make us smart, in fact it may be the opposite. Also, when all the bootleg crap and non-bootleg crap is made in the same factories in China, what’s the difference?

Personally am looking forward to 65 when we get webp support everywhere but from Apple.

Its all politics, but once 80% of browsers support it, the pressure will be on Apple to finally let us use an image format from this century.
Sure I get that. It's just visually I know that when I'm taking screenshots of app windows, and I have said windows open, I confuse myself sometimes. If I were trying to mockup a mockup app I'd want to use a different, visually distinct, tool.

True. Shuttle was begun long before digital imaging and asymmetric encryption did away with film. Of course shuttle could also be used as a recon platform itself, one that could alter orbit radically as needed to conduct surprise overflights. The MOL/Almaz programs, manned spying stations, were still in the back of people's minds.

I'm also thrilled to see more songwriting tools on the web! As an active songwriter, the area I need the most assistance with is lyrics. To that point:

- It'd be great if the rhymes panel was larger (or resizable). I use RhymersBlock on iOS which has a kinda neat way of color-coding rhymes within your lyric.

- Something I desperately need that no app has implemented is a way to build lyric "alternatives" on a phrase by phrase or line by line basis so that I can swap in an alternate lyrical treatment and see it in context. (Revision history would be a related and also probably very cool feature)

- I personally don't think I'd have much use for chord progression suggestions, but that's just me.

- I can't currently move a chord annotation while that annotation is selected. Have to click off of it to deselect before dragging works again.

- For chord annotations, it's often useful to be able to "split" the chord into the chord + bass (or root?) note especially for passing changes. You see this all the time in Beach Boys songs.

- Apple's Music Memos app has a bunch of audio analysis capabilities that I realize I use a bunch. They extract chords (which I don't use very often) but more importantly, they auto-detect a BPM from a recording which I use as the starting point when I'm ready to move from demo -> production.

I'm really excited about this app. Here's hoping it turns into the "Songwriter's notepad" I've always dreamed of!
From what I have heard of it: yes. I hope the formula language is also a bit better. AFAIK Improv could only have one formula per dimension element. Egeria allows formulas on any subspace inside the cube.
Those methods also sound wildly inefficient and ineffective. I think the "critical thinking" part is knowing that a new car is not going to make you young and have an attractive partner.

It looks as ugly as it can be with the default scrollbar when everything else is neatly designed and has a specific theme, it ruins the immersion and reminds you hey, this is just a browser game, not a real game. I am not saying that all the sites should have custom scrollbars, but there are definitely use cases for it.
