Imagine having better security by row/columns/views/sheets and having columns being able to link and combine data from multiple databases and tables...

It'd also be nice to have an 'editor' field... where you can choose html, markdown, or wysiwig (like wordpress)... so you could essentially manage blog posts from the airtable backend and control all things relating to seo, comments, tags, publishing schedules, notes about topics, etc...

Basically it'd turn airtables into a fully customizable ERP for just about anything.
Phases of RPA Implementation that you need to know
In 2015ish Dan Geer, a prominent cybersecurity expert got up and said in a talk, we don't know if vulnerabilities are sparse in quantity or dense. If they are sparse and there is actually such thing as a system that can be secured by doing the work of patching all the vulns up, then Dan argues that the US should be paying double what everyone else pays for bug bounties, so that the vulns get patched up and anybody who attempts to hide secret vulns will be aware their competitor(s) is going to cash in and be pressured to do so themselves.

If vulnerabilities are dense and there will always be more than we can patch.. well computers are a strange beast.
Pretty much everything that goes under the name of "game engine" these days is directly inspired by Unity though.

15 or 20 years ago, there was a bigger diversity and more opinions on what "game engine" actually means, but once Unity got really, really popular other engines followed along and became "Unity clones" at least on the surface (e.g. what does the artist workflow look like).

The "unique selling point" of other engines is essentially what small parts of the artist workflow they do better than the "reference implementation" in Unity, or sometimes what things they do more efficiently under the hood.
Last small office system I ended up using Draytek Vigor ADSL as it had a sensible max device limit, the ISP one would crap out at around 30 MAC addresses. The device management was pretty good and I wish I had the same kit at home (currently using an ISP provider router).

Of course the geometry is handcoded in this case but it would be a good starting point to implement something like this via shaders in WebGL and use it for all your images on your Webpage.

I wonder though, he is lazy and has cognitive deficiencies you say, but he made billions and is the president of the United States. How do you account for that?
Israel has to do nothing of the sort, they have more then enough submarines carrying nuclear weapons to scare off any first strike. Its the sole reason why Germany sold them at a highly subsidized price in the first place. Neither does the US have to support yet another war of aggression. The only thing nuclear weapons for Iran would change is that they wont be the victim of yet another illegal "intervention" in the region. Northkorea showed that rather clearly. Looking at the despots, warcriminals and aggressors in the region who openly talk about annihilating Iran, not forgetting the attrocities of the Irak Iran war, its a rather reasonable idea.

Lets please not sugarcoat or justify warcrimes and remember that a lot of the people at Nurnberg were there for starting a war of aggression.

Can someone here say more about Ableton as employer?
Wow. Completely wrong in every way.

First of all, that's exactly the primary symptom of autism. Overly fixated obsessive concentration, with a pathological, neurotic unwillingness to change focus.

And then, on the other hand, we've already spent the past 20 or 30 years diagnosing attention disorders as mental illness, when children refuse to engage with genuinely boring school curriculums. And what do they get for it? Prescription speed, so that they obsess and associate the school work with the drugged up motivation, and become conditioned like a trained dog to go into study mode for the stimulant rewards.

So don't act like this is a new idea. And don't act like it didn't already produce back to back drug epidemics (first crystal meth, then opioids). And, worst of all, don't act like the polar extremes of this idea haven't already been clinically diagnosed as mental illness, as a means to extract good grades from children with no natural reason to enjoy the daily hell of compulsory public school.

The root of the problem is not enough caffeine. I don't have the energy to discipline myself until I have enough of it. I tried quitting caffeine. It resulted in three months of staying in bed.

The Old Testament God, like all gods, is an expression of a particular culture and its philosophy on the nature of the world, society and the value of human life. It took centuries of cultural and ethical evolution to get from the brutal legalism of "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" to "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."

This isn't because "God" mellowed out between the Old and New Testaments, rather, it's because humanity changed its definition of what a good and benevolent God should be, over time. Mostly.

I agree. The column bellow Boron is a zoo. (Boron probably deserve a category for itself.) The non-metal part is delimited by a diagonal (and the border is fuzzy).

Some columns are useful, I, II, VIII, VII, perhaps VI. That's at least half of the main groups. Other parts are not so clear. But it is possible to use the grid structure to make some approximations and predictions of the properties.

I didn't mean that only Javascript developers would be lost, more that Elm kind of "does its own thing" and as such some of its errors or mechanics can be a bit cryptic and require some more experience with the language.

It's not a language you can pick up and go as easily as Javascript is more what I meant, in my opinion at least unless, you're already familiar with pure and strictly typed languages.
Also, if I am not mistaken, the code that handles the multiplexing (multigrid) was not made only for this feature, but a generalization that improves a lot of capabilities for GUIs.

"Sometimes your distractions are something which you really need to do"

The key is to be able to determine the validity of the distraction, without getting distracted, meaning without even diverting your mind a bit to think about the distraction. I don't think you can. You need to context switch a bit, examine what the distraction is and then switch back. Easier said than done. It leads to a trail of IFTTTs since every distraction has it's own context and lifespan. If someone has ways of accomplishing this, I'm all ears.

> My friends love dollar shave club, and I'm like "buy a safety razor for $20-30 bucks and a bulk pack of razor blades and you will set FOR YEARS.

I got given one of these https://getrockwell.com/products/rockwell-6s-gift-set after I mentioned I wanted a stainless steel one and it was given to me as a gift.

Apparently it started from a kickstarter a few years ago https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rockwellrazors/rockwell...

The person who gave it to me knew I am environmentally conscious. I remember reading that those cartridge razors are really bad for the environment as they are a mix of steel and plastic.

Now I can just use regular razor blades https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Razor-Blades-Hi-stainless-Dou... $22 for 100.

Feels good to not be locked into some proprietary mounting too, kind of the same feeling as using free software. hah.

I prefer it to my old Gillete one. More blades is not better, that is all marketing, and they just get clogged, ugh.

I don't see how being in a "club" that I have to pay any kind of "annual" fees would help me.

The idea is I have reduced my costs significantly and have everything I would want. Occasionally I buy a new tub of shaving cream when I run out. I am adult enough to go "that looks like a nice scent I will try that", and then decide if I want to buy more next time or buy something else.

I absolutely detest "monthly" or "weekly" payments of anything. The only exception I make is for utilities, or service contracts. If it's neither of those things why should I pay more than once? or pay for someone to trickle samples out in the post to me?

A first-rate Japanese company would certainly never do anything illegal, and a proper Japanese salaryman would never bring his company into disrepute by saying obviously untrue things like the company is systematically engaged in illegal practices. So your ears must be deceiving you. Pesky ears.

TIL. I've been going around calling it e-ink. Either way, it's better than a LED screen for battery time.
Well the main point of the algorithm is that the output is going to be a sequential, increasing list of int64 "cards".

Which may be useful for tape drives, but I'm not sure what else.

The big point that the author is missing, is that if you drop that requirement, or rather if you require the output to be shuffled, like you'd expect from dealing cards, then there are super easy algorithms.

Just pick a random permutation function over the 64-bit integers, and start counting. It's literally like dealing cards.

People in this thread have suggested block encryption as permutation functions, which will work. But there are also good non-cryptographic (much faster) permutation functions out there.

If you got a permutation function you don't need memory to store the permutation, and poof the problem just goes away.

You need this algorithm only if you absolutely need the output to remain in order. But that's not really part of the problem he sketches, which is about "take X without replacement".
I said:

>Why? He is making direct reference to the fact he thinks the law is problematic. He thinks it's morally absurd. It is very likely that you, too, have issues with the way certain laws are defined.

The context of this is that he thinks there is a moral problem with someone being able to provide sex without it being classified as assault at 18 but not at 17. We are talking about a moral principle here. You responded to this point (by quoting me asking "Why?") with:

>Hence, his personal view that it's absolutely unreasonable is bogus.

I believe we're still talking about a moral principle when you introduce the word "absolutely". My response to that, in turn, was:

>Firstly, it is not as "absolute" as you make it sound. Nowhere does he actually use that word or imply that his moral judgements are handed down from heaven. He explicitly says "I think" - and as a moral claim, it only requires as much justification as our other moral claims, which all reduce to "ought", which cannot be gained from an "is".

The whole time the usage of the word "absolute" in the way I referred to it in my last quote has been in reference to what Stallman thinks of morality, and my claim is that he does not consider it "absolutely immoral" or anything else "absolute". This is because he prefaces it with "I think", but also because he just doesn't use that word when speaking about morality. The fact he uses the word in another context, namely the notion of accusation inflation, has nothing to do with his metaethics.

I bet you have clothes with pockets.
FWIW personally with "native" i mean "native widgets too, where possible". It isn't always possible and i'm ok with that, but if your application uses a text edit area, a treebox for project files, a menu bar, a bunch of tabs and perhaps a toolbar (the "standard" IDE layout -AFAIK- introduced by MSVC4 back in the 90s and replicated by pretty much every IDE and most "programming" text editors since then) then every mainstream (and most niche) desktop OS outside of Linux/X11 has native widgets that provide 99% of the functionality (with that missing 1% being the text edit area itself and some minor UI stuff).

(and also FWIW, of all text editors personally i use Notepad++ on Windows and Geany on Linux - though as i really dislike Gtk3 and Geany switched to that, i'm looking for some alternative that uses a more snappy and lightweight toolkit - for now the Debian version i use is still on Gtk2 but that is just a matter of time to be replaced)

I'd say that title goes to intelligence, which can't be trained so people are going to consistently have either a lot or a little their whole working life. Technology is progressively taking away the ability of low IQ people to do anything productive at all and giving it to a shrinking pool of people smart enough to do the remaining not-yet-automated things.
Well done, the app is really smooth even on mobile and I can definitely see it being used for the most common types of image processing. I like the premise of using WebGL and CSS filters. Are you going to open source it? I'd love to see how you implemented that.

Edit: Never mind, I just realized this showcases Doka, a commercial component for image processing on the client so that you don't need to do the image processing in the server. Neat product as well.

> Incidentally, Freedom of Speech laws are quite rare. I don't know of any country other than the USA that has constitutional protections for speech.

I think freedom of speech is almost universally considered an inalienable human right. It tends to be protected by international treaty obligations (which usually have the force of law?). Wikipedia says:

>> Today, freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognised in international and regional human rights law. The right is enshrined in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.

Regarding the UK, the English Bill of Rights protects free speech and I believe it still has the force of law and is cited in legal cases.

> Iranian leadership is not crazy group of religious lunatics. Ayatollahs are very conservative group of politicians who use religion for political control.

It's not the motivation, it's the use. From a classical liberal western perspective, the government explicitly using religion for control is being a crazy religious lunatic.

We're talking about a country where Islam is the official religion, renouncing it is illegal, and so is blasphemy against it. For Gods' sake, to apply to university you have to pass an exam on Islamic theology! With that as a baseline, you hardly need to go any further before you look like a completely kooky religious crazyman.

The terminal is common to many operating systems and keyboard shortcuts leant there are pretty universal.

If you prefer a keyboard driven workflow learning to use a terminal and terminal based editor will give you a very portable solution.

Vi's commands are somewhat like a language for manipulating text. This is a different philosophy to many non-modal editors. In vi you can say change the next 3 paragraphs to foo or replace the text inside the this tag with bar. When you learn the language it's almost painful to watch someone trying to select text with a mouse. (I realise GUI tools often have vi plugins. I think that only proves that modal editing is useful and ergonomic once you've learnt how to use it).

CLI based tools are also very scriptable where that is often not the case for GUI based tools. Vi/Vim/NVim are part of a wider ecosystem of tools. If you learn the Ex commands for things like substitute/replace in Vim you're taking a step along the road of learning sed also.
