Hi HN!

I’m Arpit, a co-founder of Appsmith (https://www.appsmith.com) along with Abhishek and Nikhil. Appsmith is an open source project to build simple CRUD apps, custom admin panels, and complex internal tools. Some users call it a low-code product, but we think of it more like a framework. We launched our project 13 months ago and since then have seen 7.1K GitHub stars and 100+ contributors. Today we announced our seed and Series A funding.

I started building Appsmith in 2019 because I’m a backend developer and I was tired of dealing with React, HTML, CSS for CRUD applications. Frontend development has become incredibly complicated and this is my attempt to simplify it for at least this kind of software. While Appsmith is empowering if you are a backend developer because it gives you a skill that you don't necessarily want to learn, it’s incredibly useful for any dev looking to create webapps really quickly. You can create pages visually and write JS for any customizations or data transformations.

If I have to describe Appsmith apps, I’d say that we provide the view and controller layer in MVC, while you bring the model layer. This means that your data is never stored within Appsmith.

Appsmith ships with 35 react components, 14 datasource integrations (including an API connector, user roles, user authentication, Git sync, real-time collaboration, JS and more). You can self-host us for free or use our cloud edition.

Future open source roadmap includes:
1. More widgets and integrations
2. Custom theming
3. Ability to use any JS library
4. Add any custom react component
5. Integration with Lambda to enable non-UI workflows

You can use our open source edition or cloud hosted edition for free today. We’ll be introducing a pricing plan for our cloud hosted edition as well as an enterprise edition in 2022.

Future commercial and enterprise edition roadmap includes:
1. Integration into more SSO providers
2. Audit logs
3. Granular role based access control

The “Trusted by” page has some pretty impressive flagship companies (GitHub, Slack, Square, AirBnb). Is anyone familiar with the role in which Planetscale is used at those companies? (Unless that is advertising users of vitess vs the hosted offering).
More like, GistNoesis used 0-based arrays and the paper uses 1-based arrays. “Arguments of correctness” sounds like Rafael basically told GistNoesis to answer themselves, which is of course a widely spread attitude on SE.
> Haugen will urge lawmakers to take action to rein in Facebook, because, she says, it won't do so on its own. "The company's leadership knows ways to make Facebook and Instagram safer and won't make the necessary changes because they have put their immense profits before people," she will say.

Very curious to hear what those necessary changes are.
How React Native Made Me Love Mobile-First Development
The premise that good ideas that make sense end up winning is unfortunately false. Many bad ideas tend to have a remarkably long half-life, and generally they can exhibit much greater virality at the network level.
The Moore's law argument does not apply to low performance embedded chips which are whatever the engineers want them to be, but must be exactly what the engineers wanted them to be. The chips themselves were often the same between different models of the product, but even though demand for them was a very predictable function of the number of products made, and stable over time (pursuant to the stability of demand for the product), everyone's inventory consisted of whatever was in the box that was being carried from the loading dock to the pick and place machine.
The UX for profiles is fairly awful compared to chrome. There's a web extension to make things better but it requires a companion application.

Ideally they'd expose more options through web extension APIs or build in a native profile switcher in the main ui rather than as a command line flag and a dedicated about: page. It'd also be cool if the account containers could be customized to behave like profiles e.g. isolate history, but that gets a classic "we need to do this yak shave first" response whenever it gets brought up.
aha, did it? I can't agree. Time for a change, time for emancipation if it is.
And I wouldn't be surprised if this in response to what happened with identity server.
The original question contained a sizeable chunk of what looks like C#. It was then edited and made much clearer perhaps in a response to the comment.
1. Shove it into a furnace until the glass melts.

2. This also burns off almost every other impurity (aka: the acrylic).

That's the thing about glass and metals for recycling. You "recycle" them almost identically to the mining process, except its way cheaper to "mine" partially refined glass rather than throwing sand into the furnace.

"Purifying" real-world sand into high-quality glass is simply going to be more difficult than using ready-made high quality glass and melting it back down: even if there are "impurities" like acrylic on it (still probably has fewer impurities as real-world sand anyway).
Put succinctly, "not being leftist enough"
I believe that handrous's point is that it should be illegal, not that it currently is.
Do either tox or jami expose the IP address by default?
This isn't even close to being true. For example, when we ran A/B tests at Instagram, we would often dig into the results with breakdowns by important protected demographics. Engineers and data scientists who cared about justice would go out of their way to build tools and spend time ensuring that "good" changes didn't adversely affect small groups which were hard to measure.

I personally ran analysis like this to detect high and unexpected latency on people with cheaper cell phones (disproportionately minorities in the US). The results of my analysis led to changes that reduced this disparity (although the changes were minor and helpful for other reasons).
Was anyone asking for a refreshed look? How many consumers would pick Apple vs. Windows because Windows 10 is old and might look dated? I don’t understand why Microsoft remains committed to a big Windows release every decade when incremental updates every six months or each year would make more sense.
Your algorithm does appear in Section 3.1 of the linked paper by the name "Exchange Sort"
I wonder where "Stevie Wonder Can Actually See" lies on that chart.

Admitedly there's an audit trail, but I'm not sure it blocks as many kids as you think it would.
When was the last time that a 'whistleblower' was interviewed on prime time TV?
I think you are misreading the parent comments. The authors are saying they believe it should be a crime, that the action is bad enough that it should be criminal.

I know it's a third party tool so it is not going to be as good as having the settings you want as a default but Winaero Tweaker can address a majority of these issues for you.

2 clicks and a reboot to disable all telemetry, disabling windows update so that it must be run manually, and there are a few tweaks to windows explorer that will return some of the function that used to come in Windows 7.

If you include running some of the default Windows App uninstaller scripts you can purge a good chunk of the bloat out of Windows 10 and feel a little better about having the security patches that Windows 10 has above Windows 7.
The IRS could not come up with a website and TLD that sounds more like a scam if they tried. :)
Louis CK is back on stage he just did Madison Square Garden. The meme of "Cancel Culture" is just a very low IQ attempt at being Karl Rove and spinning everything good into bad.

If the author was any more alt-right he would've shown up to class dual wielding bushmasters for one ultimate science lecture. I bet he cried for weeks when he found out the Steele Dossier was confirmed by 2 independent intelligence sources. His white power turned to golden shower.
That is what Gen X and later were taught when the right was in fact authoritarian. But then the left also included people like Stallman and Chomsky.

Now we have a radical intransigent left again, and a brief look at the former Eastern Bloc shows us the end game of these people. I do not think that the "elite" leftists want a proletarian revolution though. They would like the exploitative China model, where bureaucrats and their offspring stay in power and the tightly controlled businesses do the work.

Ransomware threat actors arrested in Ukraine
But at least in the case of Jocelyn Bell Burnell, even though she put in a lot of the legwork, it was her supervisors who did much of the theoretical work to explain the discovery. Also of note is that she agreed with the Nobel committee decision. From her Wikipedia page:

"First, demarcation disputes between supervisor and student are always difficult, probably impossible to resolve. Secondly, it is the supervisor who has the final responsibility for the success or failure of the project. We hear of cases where a supervisor blames his student for a failure, but we know that it is largely the fault of the supervisor. It seems only fair to me that he should benefit from the successes, too. Thirdly, I believe it would demean Nobel Prizes if they were awarded to research students, except in very exceptional cases, and I do not believe this is one of them. Finally, I am not myself upset about it – after all, I am in good company, am I not!"
thanks for asking them – it's really important to give feedback. Otherwise they just continue to not know.
Yeah, but I need the money to support my family and there aren't many options in my region.

I did apply to one, but never heard back. It was about 2x salary. It even seemed interesting - Android dev for a medical device startup. I guess my Android skills weren't advanced enough (I just have a couple very simple apps).
This company is developing a track record of clickbait articles. They also did the "Study finds 83% of software developers feel burnout" piece.

Not playing that game. The first step is to remove racial discrimination for hiring and education. You don't need to correct for that because it will correct itself after some time, but only if we stop discriminating.

The Zeppelins were not squalid or horrible, but they were incredibly spartan and not at all Luxury compared to what a cruise ship can do with a lot of mass. Here's a reproduction Hindenburg passenger cabin[1], compare with a cabin on a luxury cruise ship[2]. They're optimised for low mass more than comfort.

Then a reproduction lounge on the Hindenburg[3], compare with any of these on a cruise ship[4]. Ships are roughly as luxurious as you want to spend money to get, rivalling any hotel. (Water is ~750x denser than air, does that mean it can buoy up 750x more luxury per passenger for the same displacement vessel?)

Everything was legal until the lawmakers made it a crime, even stalking from bushes. As the society evolves, we introduce more and more laws to govern it, just as some laws are retired.
Even more frustrating because it doesn't tell you that you haven't done the calculation or worse, you haven't transferred a field from one form to another.

I failed to copy my self-employment tax back to my 1040 for 2020, despite having calculated it correctly. No warnings, the form filing went smoothly, and 4 months later I got a notice from the IRS.

It's insanity.
Why would you think that funds from firefox premium would only go to development for firefox? Do you think money you spend on Azure is ringfenced for Azure development and isn't ever spent on Microsoft Gaming (for example).
Point still is if they're filtering by age, they can do that, and they're not doing it in my case.

I mean, I'm sure there's probably some of that, but not in any material way that I even have a hint of age discrimination thrown in my direction.
> There are people at Microsoft that "get" FOSS

Disagree. There are people at Microsoft that "get" how important it is to look FOSS friendly in order to stay relevant in the developer community and continue to breed C# developers who will deploy to Azure.

They don't get FOSS at all though. They want to control it to their advantage and that's about the extent of which Microsoft is interested in FOSS.

Symptom might be the same, but the root causes are completely different. Most people in their 40s that work as a developer already left Brazil or work remotely for overseas. What do you think this does to the market? Also, all the labour laws do a great deal to make things worse. The whole cost of a tech business in Brazil is so prohibitive that cutting down workforce to the cheapest possible became a practice. This means newly grads every year, and high rotation.

I am not at all saying companies are correct in their assumption. I am just guessing where the cause is, in my opinion.
What the government wants to accomplish with the Facebook hearings, political grandstanding and blathering, is a harness, control to their political power benefit. They're playing a political game of conquest. There is no scenario where they're going to destroy it.

As a rule, DC doesn't like power competition, and they absolutely do not tolerate it from the private sector. One of the dumbest things Bill Gates ever did was crack a joke that he was as powerful as the President [1]. They're fine with people being enormously rich or famous, and having some modest influence derived from that, it has to be under their feet however, it has to squarely fall beneath their political power. There's nothing the savages in DC dislike more than private power that doesn't pledge fealty. They will break Zuckerberg and force him to retire from Facebook if he doesn't capitulate. One way or another they will get what they want. Zuckerberg's only choice is whether he gives it to them willingly, or they take it from him. He is delusional if he believes his voting interest in Facebook leaves him primarily in control of Facebook's destiny at this point, such that he can stand against Congress.

Zuckerberg is fighting them so adamantly, for now, because he still views Facebook as his. That's part of his latest response, in which he has clearly shifted positioning, and now proclaims FB will stop apologizing. The DC power is particularly agitated by that, they view it as a more direct challenge to their authority. And it's that point on which he is mistaken, Facebook no longer belongs to him in regards to control. What's going on now is the action required to formally begin removing his sole control over Facebook. The political power views people like Zuckerberg as being allowed to exist, allowed to operate, in a permission sense. It's important to understand how the bureaucrats in DC view the world. Gates for a long time thought he could hide up in the Pacific Northwest, stay out of DC politics, and just keep playing in his software kingdom (eventually the tech industry and Microsoft got too big for that). The Google founders, along with Schmidt, realized a lot earlier on that they had to be deep into DC lobbying to try to preempt, shape, the inevitable political harness. During the anti-trust questioning, Gates got emotional about what he perceived to be the government trying to kill Microsoft [2]; what that response really was, is Gates feeling like control over his kingdom was being taken from him; and that's exactly the spot Zuckerberg is in now.

[1] "Bill said, 'Of course, I have as much power as the president has.' Melinda's eyes got wide, and she kicked him under the table, so then he tried to play it off as a joke. But it was too late." https://www.wired.com/2000/11/microsoft-7/

[2] "What startled [DOJ anti-trust chief] Klein was the personal terms in which Gates made these points. "It wasn't just, You're going to kill my business; it was, You're going to kill me. And clearly we, the government, were the instrument of this great personal affliction."

isn't AV1 also a contender for that as a lossy compression algorithm?
I think over the years, there have been enough news articles about Facebook recommending conspiracy theory groups for most employees to have a good idea of how engagement was driven. Every news organization researched how to get clicks, so it's not a secret that articles with more-negative headlines get more engagement. Remember the employee walkout? There is plenty of awareness within the company about how the sausage gets made.
BGP didn't "go down" - they erroneously removed all routes between the Internet and several facebook internal networks via BGP. BGP was the instrument of their destruction, but not the source. Someone or something told BGP to do that; whatever that was is the cause of the issue.

At least one of those networks they accidentally removed also happened to contain the DNS servers; DNS being unavailable was a symptom - but not part of the root problem. Any focus on DNS at this point is a red herring.

Think of routes as street directions - they tell routers where to ship packets. If you erase all your addresses and directions to them from the outside world at at large, then there literally is no way for network packets to get from the global Internet to Facebooks networks (where I imagine the DNS servers were up and probably twiddling their thumbs wondering where everyone went).

An easier way to think of it - they essentially took a pair of scissors and cut the cable connections to the Internet - which is why it was so catastrophic.

They only way to mitigate that is to have an identical infrastructure managed by different tooling so a bad configuration setting from one environment wouldn't pollute the second in the same way. Not exactly an easy thing to do and might cause more other problems than it's worth. And you would have to do that for all services, not just DNS. Let's say Facebook used Cloudflare for their DNS. Great - DNS can resolve your request for fb.com to the IP address of the facebook datacenter - there still is no path for your packets to get to that facebook datacenter because they accidentally purged the routes to their networks.

It's easier to just not cut your connection to the Internet :) I'm sure there are all kinds of internal discussions picking this incident apart and formulating ways to either prevent it, or more realistically - have improved procedures to speed recovery when it inevitably happens again. BGP is not known for its inherent robustness or security. But since it's at the core of the Internet, any changes to it would have to be done on a massive internet-wide scale in perfect unison or the "cure" would be a lot worse than the current problems with it.

Murphy was indeed an optimist!

They generally don't really sell data, they use your data to sell your eyeballs. The PII you're referring to is a drop in the bucket compared to the content most users are willingly sharing on their own. Yes, they will immediately monetize this information. But if that really bothers you, I'd have to ask if you're actually at all interested in being in the platform at all. The marginal privacy invasion going on here is so tiny compared to the product itself. It doesn't seem like a reasonable counterargument to implementing this as a safeguard.
This woman literally joined Facebook to help "combat conspiracy theories". She is clearly political.

https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1445185217510187013?...

It appears, from the 60 min interview, reason she came forward was that conservatives were allowed to communicate and organize.

Frankly, I suspect her whole goal here is more censorship and only for one party.
Negotiating Authenticity in the Market for Fake Followers on Social Media
Not sure all states do this, but the Texas DMV already sells the information on your driver's license to marketers. Not much you can do when the agency that issues identification also sells your data, aside from totally withdraw and don't participate in modern life.

>Pretty cynical to believe she has a hidden agenda.

She openly calls for more censorship, at least that agenda isn't even hidden.
This is a major plot line in the kids series "Pendragon". One of the books centers around the blowing up of the hindenburg. I guess the author was onto this as a conspiracy and decided their own explanation! (If your child liked Artemis Fowl, they might like this series)

I've been trying to find codes on the 100-150sqft foot shed no permit rules for various counties but can't always find it. Tried looking for the state level code (MI) to no avail. Have any tips for finding that info.? I'm also wondering what penalties I could face if I just went ahead and did it anyways (no intention of selling property), but that likely varies county by county.
