Hey thepaulstella. I have sent you an e-mail regarding the issues.
Tabber shows only the visible windows, not the hidden ones. If you have hidden windows it will not show them.
Regarding the shortcuts, please let me know the shortcut that you are using because it might be a special case since in my case it seems to work and also Apple did not report any crashes while testing Tabber. Let me know about the shortcut.
Isn't there some great deal of art coming from psychedelic experiences. Many bands of the sixties and seventies or art of Alex Grey. Shamans had an very important role in groups and tribes for a long time. Religious revelations could have been results of altered states of consciousness (eg moses 10 commandments).

On a more personal and emotional note I always had the feeling when tripping of great profundity but being unable to take the wisdom to the other side. I guess I would make be a bad shaman.
That's a somewhat conspiratorial take. While there are publishers that heavy-handedly tell their newsrooms what to write (i. e. Murdoch), the vast majority does not.

Many publishers are typical corporations, with a large number of shareholders, none of which get to even talk to the journalists.

Even among those owned by individual billionaires, the evidence is lacking. The Washington Post, for example, has broken quite a few (often negative) stories about Amazon. The Seattle Times recently broke much of the 737-MAX scandal, even though they are faily dependent on Boeing. The New York Times doesn't even write much about Mexico, let alone topics related to Carlos Slim's financial interests.

The motivation to own these reputable papers seems to be far easier to explain as a status thing. Kinda like NFL teams, but for the more intellectual billionaires.

It already is. What communities do you think politicians are targeting when they ban cheap guns, add $100/year licensing requirements, etc? If you don't think that laws targeting "Saturday night specials" are motivated by race or at least class, just look up the origin of the term.
You want to have an ugly argument with other developers, bring up the Monty Hall problem. People who are wrong will not let it go.

We had it beaten into us not to use truth tables to solve problems in college, because it doesn't scale. But the Monty Hall problem has a finite set of states you can easily write on a piece of paper. And then you'll see that it jumps from 2/6 successes to 3/6.

I tried to replicate that table under duress once (see initial comment) and I couldn't get it sorted. I should try it again and write it down this time.

Edit: Why do work when you can find someone else who already has:

But the tooling and npm packages are all optional. You can import React from a CDN and use stuff like htm [1] or domz [2] instead of a JSX compilation step.

Or you can use Vue instead of React (their tutorial starts by using Vue via CDN).

If you're able to only support 95% of the browsers, you can use most modern ES6 features, including ES Modules and async/await.

If you still need the tooling, there are options like Parcel [3] or Poi.js [4] that require zero configuration. You don't really need the complexity of Webpack.

My grandmother used to run a general store out in a small rural village where I grew up. She had the only store in town, and she sold everything from groceries, to gas, barbed wire by the spool, salt licks for cows, nails by the pound, you get the idea. It was a super busy place.

One time, my grandmother asked her father to look after his three young grandsons so she could get some work done in peace.

He sat them all in a row on the counter and gave them candy to keep them busy as he started to tell them a story.

A customer observing this scene said: "Look at you, you must be so proud to have three such beautiful grandsons!"

To which he replied: "Yeah, you couldn't pay me millions of dollars to part with a single one of them...but I wouldn't give a dollar for another one though..."
A couple of things here. WASM isn't necessarily more performant than vanilla JS. For the web, it'll open the door to the JS engine as a compile target, and that's great.... but it's still not super fast.

Secondly, in the case of an application, WASM is of little use since (with node and almost any programming language) you have an FFI available. One could simply shell out computationally heavy things to C++ or whatever else. This is what many folks do with their Electron apps already (via node-ffi).
For most users, I think maintaining exclusive ownership of a phone number is much easier than securing their email account or a traditional username+password credential, so posit it's a natural fit for a secure mobile messenger.

Well, it could "break" your code in that it might make your code produce different results than a separate equivalent implementation that didn't use FMA.

Decided to post a top-level comment because I think it's very important that Gitlab do a "root cause analysis" of why they made such a poor decision. Just saying "we're holding off for now" is not going to convince me that you guys have not lost your compass.

For reference, there was a very telling comment by user jahlove about how Gitlab could be so out of touch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21349591):

--------

> But someone up the chain of command thought we could get away with it

That person is Paul Machle (CFO):

"I don’t understand. This should not be an opt in or an opt out. It is a condition of using our product. There is an acceptance of terms and the use of this data should be included in that." [1]

[1]https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/merge_requests/14182#no...

--------

That GitLab comment thread is very telling. Basically, here is what happened:

1. It's clear engineers had concerns about the feature, wanting it to at least have an opt-in.

2. But then the CFO, who clearly does not anticipate the backlash this will cause, basically just gives an "tough shit" response.

3. What's scariest IMO, though, is that the Scott Williamson, VP of Product, then replies "@cciresi if we follow Paul's guidance and just make this part of our terms and conditions, are we covered legally?"

I've seen this at many organizations in the past. It's generally called the HiPPO problem - the Highest Paid Person's Opinion. The CFO wanted this done (obviously for financial reasons, he's the CFO after all), but the VP of Product, who should be more "in the weeds" in terms of having the pulse of the customer, instead deferred to the CFO and tried to appease his desire.

Gitlab, I think your organization is off track. You need to make a broader statement that shows you have a real understanding of the problem than just "Oops".
It does seem like a lot, but not so much when you consider that every member of personnel actually doing those man-hours needs water, just as surely as they need a salary - and unlike the salary, the water has to be shipped out. In the desert a person can easily drink a gallon a day, not to mention all the other uses of water on a base. That's nearly 5 kilos of supplies per person per day. Most personnel are not firing ordnance, flying planes, or driving dozens of miles every single day - but they will all go through water like clockwork.

I agree that native platforms have failed to give us the things that the web platform gives us, and that we want those things in our solutions, but it does not mean that we will ever actually be able to add in the things that the web lacks - I suppose that we will be able to but I must also entertain the possibility that there is some mutually contradictory thing in the two paradigms that we are not seeing.
Show HN: Due.work – Simplify your work, to-do's and communications
Hello Everyone!

I am Robins Gupta, founder of Due.Work (https://www.due.work/). About 3 months ago we launched Due.work in beta (which was previously known as Birtly) with the mission to simplify the way people work together in a team.

Today we have 1000+ (startup and business) using our system to manage their daily work and projects.

Due.work was created out of frustration when I and my co-founder(Ravi) were working on our first startup (Snaphy Labs) helping startups build Mobile and Web Apps for their business. We were struggling with having a single tool by which we can manage all our clients, their requirements and work.

Some tool like Jira was too complex to be used by all of our teams while some like trello was too simple and good but things would be used to get messier always when we had more than 50-60 tasks present on board at a time.

Our goal while creating yet another project management software was to create a tool that would be very simple to use and also would serve as a distraction-free medium where we can focus on one task at a time without getting distracted by another task present in todo's list so that to increase the overall productivity of our work.

To achieve that we ended up having divided each project into 4 different pages.

1. Home (All Tasks)

2. My Tasks (Only those tasks which are assigned to me )

3. Today (Tasks which needs to be completed today only)

4. Next7Days (Tasks which needs to be completed in next 7 days)

Further to make things more user-friendly to each user we have divided each of these pages into 3 seperate views ( List, Board, Timeline ).

It has many more other features that I haven't mentioned above like communication, Activities, web push functionality so that one can get all updates without even opening an email or website.

We have also worked on pricing and decided to offer flat pricing like basecamp but much more affordable.

We are super excited to launch ourselves on HN and also, eager to get your feedback on the Due.work: https://due.work/get-started/

No, I'm not iscrewyou (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21349665). I doubt that I buy that it would happen, but I think that saying it would is just being mistaken, not engaging in some sort of claim to moral superiority.

Until those hypothetical fixes are in place, what do you do? Disarm everybody?
It doesn't seem to me like he is calling shots on critical architecture. He asserted an opinion on something that would affect the revenue stream, which as CFO, is exactly his job.

Reading through the MR comments, it seems to me like that's the case with everyone. The CFO is pursuing profitable options, the legal & compliance teams are making sure everything stays in compliance, the engineers are building what is asked of them, the data analysts and product managers are asking for the data they need to get insights on product enhancement...

The big issue seems to be that everyone is so narrowly focused on just their job function that they are missing the forest for the trees. I also noticed a distinct lack of anyone from any type of customer advocacy teams (does GitLab have anything like that? Account managers, evangelists, developer relations, etc?) that probably would have been able to put forth actual data about if customers would be for/against this change.
I've seen forms of this argument (essentially "you don't have the same problems Facebook has") more-or-less since I first started using React over 5 years ago, and it's never held that much water with me.

Mainly because I've only ever worked in comparatively small companies (fewer than 30 engineers) and every step of the way React has uncannily been solving the problems I've been facing (in fact, my decision to try React came at the end of months of trying alternative solutions to view layers until deciding to bite the bullet and try that weird JSX thing).

For me it comes down to a simple question: Is what you're doing sufficiently app-y to justify an up front framework cost of around 70kb (React + your ecosystem libraries of choice)?

If the answer is "no", there's a follow-up question of "is that likely to change within a year?"

It's relatively frustrating that React is one of the largest React-like frameworks (e.g. compared to Preact and Vue), but they've mostly been focused on different problems for the last few years. I'd expect React to get smaller and faster once there's less of a focus on fundamentally changing and simplifying the way we approach certain types of problems (e.g. the ones that Suspense solves).

Er this ended up being longer than expected, sorry about that!

I call this a betrayal of America by US politicians. The overdose rate has apparently doubled over the past 10 years and congress did not even start talking about opioids until, what, 2017? No one jailed until 2019? 3 years beyond the charts in this report. 47,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses in the last 12 months.

Is it coincidence that by far the biggest spender on congressional lobbying is Pharma/Healthcare? $284,000,000 in 2018 alone. That is $531,000 per congressperson in one year, and only for Pharma/Healthcare. Or, another way to look at it, $5,985.25 per opioid death.

Thank you for making half of us readers feel old and decrepit. Your work here is done.
This is not cheating, you don't have to hide the fact that you know where the good card is. It is entertainment teaching a valuable lesson.

It is, as I said before, a fair game so it has zero expectation value for both players, better odds than a casino for the player and there is no reason for a gambler to refuse this bet.

In expectation you won't lose money, but people who think they know better will happily give you their money by making a bad move while being convinced they are getting an edge.

Most math-type people don't know the hypothesis of the Monty-Hall Problem and can't state it properly, but most have seen it played on TV-shows and know they must switch.

In the heat of the moment, especially if you have played a few follow the red queen games before, the brain is still in fast mode, and will jump to using heuristics. Mind trick.

In this argument, it would seem that to be "adequately interested" in a company, I need to be willing to do unpaid labor for them as a first step. I would argue that most, if not all companies, should disabuse themselves of the thought that this is anything but exploitation.
p=1. This is the scenario. The host teases you by opening doors that do not have a prize. If he opened one with a prize then you couldn't win it which would break the game.

He knows exactly where the prize is. He just had a good poker face and head game. Which is why he hosted the show for 15+ years.

It was possible to hand-make a replacement for Atari's external floppy drive (round DIN connector on the right) because Atari wanted too much money for theirs. Having two floppies meant that compiling went from several disk-swaps to no-swap happiness.
One of the advantages of print newspapers is accountability. Print newspapers can be (and generally are) archived by public libraries. My local library has archives of local papers going back decades. When corrections to previously published articles become necessary, the corrections are published in such a way that both the original article and the correction are archived.

Of course there are projects that seek to archive online newspapers too (archive.org is awesome!), but online newspapers are able to thwart archiving either through technical means or policy (robots.txt.) Furthermore even when they aren't maliciously attacking archival efforts, online publications can swap out headlines or even the full content of articles, sometimes before the original has been archived. That sort of undisclosed on-the-fly revision simply isn't possible with print newspapers.
On the other hand, we are by accident storing vastly more communication than we use to. Many letters I would not have saved, and conversations that would never have even have been recorded are now by default. All it takes is someone finding a copy of them 100 (or 1000) years from now.

Most copies, like most old books and most letters, will be destroyed. But some copies of some peoples information will probably live on. Some hard drives and flash memory will be miraculously preserved or whatever for future generations automated electron scanning microscopes to decode.

One of GitLab's core values is transparency, including making all of their internal communications public via public merge requests. It's kinda cool, but on the other hand, I've previously spent some time reading their MRs about security policy that made me wary about using GitLab at all.

Not sure what your school experience was like, but for me it wasn't a bunch of equally intelligent students all thinking themselves above average. I'm happy to be in a career now where I feel surrounded by people who make me feel stupid; back then, it was very different. In high school, I never got less than an A with minimal effort, while everyone around me struggled. I don't say that to brag--I was just a big fish in a small pond. It's quite rare that many smart people are all clustered together, especially in a US public school in a relatively poor region.

Yes.

Individual citizens trying to fight cops with firepower is never going to work. Cops have much better equipment than you're going to have, and have the backing of the entire government.

Unless you're literally planning on staging a coup, arming yourself to fight cops is not a viable strategy.

On the other hand, if we disarm everybody, then we don't need to have such over-militarized cops either, and maybe we can finally get to a place where cops no longer automatically reach for their gun (or even carry one) and therefore stop routinely murdering citizens.

Binance is charging a million dollars to list your token on the exchange. If anything there's an adverse selection effect: the more willing you are to fork over a million dollars to get your token listed, the more likely you are to be a scam. Crypto projects with the most real adoption and genuine development (like MakerDAO) didn't even ICO at all, they just airdropped tokens to get the ecosystem started and let the quality of the product take it from there.

IIRC there was a similar phenomena with the dot-com boom: companies that spent hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising did so because they weren't selling anything useful, while the actual survivors spent zero on advertising and grew virally from word of mouth. Google and Facebook make money by selling ads, not by buying them: Google's first ad didn't run until 2010.
> Funny, it’s worked well in countries like Afghanistan.

No, it didn't. The guerilla forces that were successful in Afghanistan has outside state sponsorship and supply and intervention by global or regional powers on their behalf (advisers, intelligence, special ops support, etc.) That's true of the Mujahideen fighting the USSR (backed by the USA, Pakistan, and others), and true of the Taliban/al-Qaeda associated groups which were fighting the internationally-recognized government (backed by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.)
