I have one dislike of a 'Feature'; window-resizing, and one bug (related to window-resizing).

Using keyboard+mouse:
To resize you bring the mouse to the vertical or horizontal frame that you want to adjust, hold down the meta key (Win in my case), and right-click+move to adjust it.
In i3: you only adjust that single frame.
In Sway: you adjust the whole vertical & horizontal window size. This effects all other 'attached/touching' windows and unintentionally screws up some formatting for me.

Like I said, 'feature'.

I am using this on a cheap 42" 4k AOC monitor.
I get 4k@60Hz.
Good point. I took a look. He appears to be 0.5% more effective than me doing it myself with software. Doesn't sound like much, but it's far more than the $400 or so we would normally be paying for this.

EDIT - 0.5% meaning my effective tax rate is 0.5% lower.
> Two day delivery is China is considered slow and nothing to be proud about.

Within Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou, I'm sure that's true. Can Alibaba get a package delivered to Tibet in two days? Really this is just expressing the fact that effectively all of China's industrialized economy is concentrated in three urban centers.
I agree, relying on someone else is a recipe for disaster so they should start to militarize. Yet I don't necessarily agree that they will become expansionist. Also note they started way before 1941, I believe they began in 1904 with their war with Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War.
I’m sure they know it might happen. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t call it out when the (illegal) retaliation does happen.

Svelte itself has been on my radar for quite a while - I think when proper TypeScript support lands, that will be the first time I'll actually give it a try for one project or another. The idea is intriguing, thanks for working on it!
First off, I never said anything about the US not being able to afford it. I said the IRS can't do it with their current resources. Big difference.

Second, the IRS processed 247.8M total returns[1] and 3.59B supporting documents[2] in 2017. While I think the IRS could do a better job (like, well, the entire rest of the US federal government), what other tax system processes anything near that volume?

Also, I'm not buying "just about every other country". Not even close. For starters, I find it hard to believe that more than a handful of African countries manage to do it.

I created this to allow realtors and photographers to make 360 degree tours of their properties. The Tour Editor is pretty robust and I also allow whitelabeling.

Feel free to play with a demo. Its free to make demos and up to three commercial tours.

The goal here is to get 360 tours to be ubiquitous. So far, we have had users make everything from residential properties for sale, cars for sale, and even vacation photos.

The marketing website I am really hoping to get right. I dont think its there yet. Open to all feedback. Right now this is completely bootstrapped by me and my partner and developed by me.

The most challenging aspects of this have been: automated whitelabeling solution, overestimating users' competencies, and learning Three.JS.

The most enjoyable aspects of this have been: Setting up infrastructure from ground-up, coming up with extremely novel and quick implementations because I am limited to a few hours a day (I have a full-time job right now as a tech consultant), and learning how to triage and prioritize my own software project to get users with as little features as possible. We are hustling!

Our user growth and revenue have been increasing each month, right now we are looking for mentorship and connect with other entrepreneurs. Its hard to develop a start-up on the side and I'm ready for the next step! We are based in Houston, TX :)

I left the games industry a long time ago so I could earn twice as much and not have to work weekends. Shame.

And I can't take credit for the animation tech in Dog's Life, it was all working by the time I joined the team. The game was made by Frontier Developments. I think the same technology was used in Kinectimals (https://youtu.be/BrcXV9_cQYw?t=814), which looks amazing but is a bit more "pre canned" looking.

Very happy for this. I wrote a Firefox extension with Svelte v1, and will take this release of Svelte v3 as an opportunity to refactor my extension.

Thank you, contributors!
Also someone should make a debugger that supports the equivalent of print statements, e.g. set print breakpoint on a variable to print its value every time it’s run, instead of typing print everywhere.

Traditonal debuggers like gdb for compiled languages support this (breakpoint actions, memory write breakpoints, and variable displays). If something similar isn't already in your language's debugger, that might be a source of ideas for adding it.
This is great, thanks! I've been wanting this from the q library for ages, but the author hasn't responded in a few years. I'll switch to this right away, thanks again!

He didn't get death penalty or imprisonment is a win to me.

The reality is legal system consist of human in various capacity, judge, lawyer, jury, even public opinion. Its all boil down to convincing these human. Given the right method or argument, you can convince any human.
Sure some case are harder then the other but doesn't mean it impossible. Really really hard != impossible.

>there is no such case that it can always be won given the right lawyer or argument

What is your reasoning ?
Awesome observation.

I think some space could be reduced by moving it to an office/gym. I know friends of friends who live our of their van near their work. They store most of their clothes in a gym locker and some clothes in a work locker. They shower and use the bathroom at the gym or work as well. That effectively leaves food, sleeping, and entertainment left for their living space.

You could move food storage to communal kitchens (or rentable commercial kitchens). I don't know if any exist for this use case, but I do know as a small business you can rent out a commercial kitchen for 1 day or so a month to make bulk batches of product to sell. (I did some work for a packaged quinoa company).
OK but snow blocks lidar too.
Going to go slightly tangential and say cooking. It is a skill which will save you money, help you be in control of your health, and is useful on a daily basis.
> The advertising department makes money for the owners,

I may be missing something here but they make money for the reporters as well right? I don't know, if the firewall involves the money as well, my opinion of the authors would change mildly as the benefits are less obvious/direct making it a easier mistake to fall into though I think the criticism stands either way.

> news department .... hopefully insulated enough from...

> to protect the newsroom from the advertising department

Right and I get that in most cases this works out. In this case the dynamic seems to insulate the marketing department actions from the meaningful critique given by the news room, and the news room from the moral/ethical implications of
benefiting from those actions. This moral/ethical insulation is the thing I am questioning.

> The newsroom doesn't really have that authority.

Thats why the Chinese firewall thing felt like bait, no one wants the newsroom to kill the story, and the news room as a corporate entity can't kill ads. The people creating the content though, the individuals... they could start producing
content for people who don't do this sort of stuff.

I mean I'm not even saying they should boycott the benefits and winfall of the system that every one around them is deeply embedded in already. I'm saying that as content creators, who are now aware of the situation, they are close to the only people who could populate a different system with content and users.

> It's more poisonous to distract from the warnings

This is not what is going on, the warning stands, people who are mad at the reporters for reporting this stuff like its a new hot scoop are not mad because they want to have no privacy... they seem to be mad because its been yelled about for
years. By both reporters and security experts, and the trend has only accelerated. At least that's what im mad about. Its not a "your bad" but a "stop claiming your so good please"

> celebrate these articles

I do, and have since they started coming out years and years ago (I even try and local archive them)... but I celebrate the article, and remember that the author could do better. This is why I see the comment about wanting it "both ways" as
valid. It sounds harsh but its not a claim that the reporters are the evil ones and shouldn't talk about privacy, its only the acknowledgment that they could take more steps not to be enablers and that they could actually bootstrap an
alternative. It's not really even a claim about this specific author or mainstream outlet.

> actually cause real action to fix the problems.

I don't think they will, I think they will just keep doing what they are doing (and have always done) then participate in the change (if it ever happens), and claim its what they wanted from the start, which brings me back to the idea of wanting it both ways.

I mean, that's why people do theoretical physics in higher dimensions and then search desperately for ways to test their theories. We can extrapolate with mathematics in infinite ways, but until we can find ways to test things it's hard to do better than "find the simplest explanation that accounts for what you can observe".
off topic, but "latam" means "I am flying" in Polish, so it's a good name for an airline!
I'm wondering if that's a "previous generation" thing that's slowly going away, or if I'm just living in a bubble. I know (or have known and forgotten) the salary of most people in my extended peer group (25-30 year olds mostly). If the topic we are talking about is jobs, or a new job someone got, the person usually either flat out says it, or someone in the group will ask with little hesitation.
Who’s Behind the RevCode WebMonitor Rat?
Not OP but I can only guess being from Africa. 1) Data is expensive and watching videos uses up a fair amount of data. 2) Usually, the number of computers is limited. Someone can watch videos for the whole day whilst other people wait to use the computer. I get it that there is some useful information on Youtube but if left unchecked people tend to drift towards the trending views, music videos and so on.

> No, browsers can pipeline requests (send the requests back-to-back, without first waiting for a response) in HTTP/1.1. The server has to send the responses in order, but it doesn't have to process them in that order if it is willing to buffer the later responses in the case of head-of-line blocking.

Browsers can pipeline requests on http/1.1, but I don't think any of them actually do in today's world, at least that's what MDN says. [1] And from my recollection, very few browsers did pipelining prior to http/2 either -- the chances of running into something broken were much too high.

I don't understand what is the problem. If you made your API public, you want people to use it. If another company decides to use the same API, it is only good, in my opinion.

It is very similar to an issue with phone chargers. There were times, where each phone manufacturer had a different charger, and if a new company decided to use a charger desing from Nokia, they would probably sue them. I am so glad those times are over and we use USB everywhere. Arent you glad, that your API could be used everyhwere?

Or another example, imagine if every web browser had a different "web language" like Javascript, and developers would have to make several versions of their website for each browser. And if a new browser wanted to display webpages ment for Firefox, Firefox would sue them.
That's fine. I don't care who's driving the car carrying the camera. I care about what the camera can see. If you've ever been sent an Amber alert for a local child abduction it often comes with a description of the car that the suspect is driving. If I'm in law enforcement I'd much rather get an emergency warrant to ask Tesla to query the network to find that kind of car in a given geographic area.

You criticise the comparison then proceed to make a vacuous one yourself.

An anecdote to disprove your generalisation: I used to work in Europe (Reading, UK) and now work in Africa (Nairobi, Kenya) and can confirm that 80k in Reading would give me a far higher quality of life than 20k in Nairobi.

Africa and Europe are both large, diverse places, just no point making a statement like this.

To counter what the others are saying - yes we're at the end of a 10 year market high, but unless VC firms are _entirely liquidating_ their position immediately after the S-1, which they are not, this doesn't to me indicate that a recession is coming. In fact, if anything, the opposite.

"Clone a successful US company before it got to the European market."

This is really a different case though.

The German VC is saying: "Food delivery is working in the US, they've validated the model + EU VC's will now get behind that, so 'do that like they are'.

They are more or less competing, not exactly cloning.

Copying API's is a whole other level.

Literally copying docs etc. is another level.

The thing is - the small company may have some power here. The bigger company does not want an ugly, permanent lawsuit hanging over them. With the screen-scraping and blatant copying, it's going to make it seem, at least popularly bad, and possibly add emotive impetus to a judge. The copier cannot say with a straight face that they were not copying to a judge.

Personally speaking I would not want to share a road with an autonomous car that had been tinkered on by some random Joe. Autonomous farm vehicles or something, sure, but public roads are way too risky.

> My question: is it unreasonable of me to expect my email provider does not allow email sender fraud?

Yes, because you expect something that is not possible given how SMTP email is designed. Sender spoofing is trivial to perform and unless the recipient has sufficient technical knowledge to detect the spoof (they don't need much technical knowledge, but they do need some) the recipient will not know one from another.

You validate that your emails did in fact get sent by you by GPG (https://www.gnupg.org/) signing them when you send them, and having the recipients know enough to be able to verify the GPG signatures.
Because I think nearly everyone involved in attempting to change how things work was sincere in their hope that this would only lead to improvement. Yet on some pretty important measures, like the proportion of lower-class kids who get to grow up with a father, we've done very badly indeed.

I'd also value this, either as described or even simply public access to resident-reported issues (that the resident didn't mark as private). Seattle uses a one-way issue reporting system without public access or input, and often without followup to the requestor. There's also an app for opening tickets: https://www.seattle.gov/customer-service-bureau/find-it-fix-...

The backend is hosted by Motorola Solutions (https://www.motorolasolutions.com/).

To obtain ticket information, one person submitted a public disclosure request: https://twitter.com/Andres4Seattle/status/111678932579285811.... In the process, he learned that it "is proprietary and for reasons that I never got answered the Motorola backend can't make the data public."
This retaliation in response to anti-harassment protests is actually illegal. It's pretty obvious these actions were done before legal got involved: When Claire Stapleton had a lawyer contact Google they walked back the demotion.
100% agree. A simple "here's what we think you owe" postcard for 90% of people and a "we think you might have unreported income based on your bank transactions - please fill out a full 1040" for the other 10% would be a massive improvement over today's system.

As an African I often wonder if we are solving problems in the right sequence. The Internet makes it easy to feel like one is connected to someone in SV but the reality is we live in very different environments. I presume most people in SV have running water and pretty reliable electricity, decent roads and hospitals (yes I know there are issues with healthcare funding but the hospitals are there, in Africa we don't have the building). As a developer in Africa you have to contend with the underlying infrastructure issues and keep up with the latest JS framework :-).
Are you counting Shenzhen as part of Guangzhou? Surely it’s a center of the Chinese industrial economy.

Way to go framing people standing for what they believe in as a “stunt”. Apart from a frequent talking point aiming to discredit activists this POV also reveals a lack of understanding for any action which is either a strategy to enrich oneself or a hypocritical attempt to look good.
