Buetol··on Google Alternatives
If you use your own domain for email, you can change host anytime you want, pretty nice.
Buetol··on Programmable Search Engine
Took 2sec to setup and works very well !

EDIT: It's really Custom Search Engine rebranded to me, it doesn't index all you website, I still prefer Algolia if I had to have a external search provider.

EDIT 2: Seems very customizable, maybe by adding all your urls it will index all you site, making it a viable alternative to Algolia

Buetol··on How to Avoid Equidistant HSV Colors (2011)
Looks like the link to the "I want HUE" tool is broken, here's the proper link: http://medialab.github.io/iwanthue/
Buetol··on Tor Browser 9.5
My main takeaway is that Tor is introducing a new domain names suffix: .tor.onion

For information, there was a similar initiative by Namecoin with .bit.onion: https://www.namecoin.org/docs/tor-resolution/ncprop279/stemn...

Buetol··on Guide to Python Debugging
This is buried in the comments but `pudb` is great debugger: https://pypi.org/project/pudb/

- visual interface to set breakpoint

- inline interpreter

- inspect on exception

It's like using a modern debugger but inside your console. Can't recommend enough.

Buetol··on Creating a Robust, Reusable Link-Checker
I've done a similar project, it takes a website and output broken urls using Scrapy: https://gist.github.com/mdamien/7b71ef06f49de1189fb75f8fed91...
Buetol··on How different are different diff algorithms in Git?
Maybe, I've already used another diff engine, WikiWho [1], to do my own implementation of git blame [2] (shameless self-promotion)

[2]: https://pypi.org/project/git-word-blame/

Buetol··on How different are different diff algorithms in Git?
I also researched the best diff algorithm. Google's diff-match-patch [1] library produce very good diffs for example. But I found that the best diffs are produced by wikidiff2 [2], the MediaWiki diff engine. Both engines produce word-by-word diff.

Buetol··on US Constitution – A Git repo with history of edits
> This is great. Is there a tool to do this?

Here's a script doing the same thing but with another text [1].

In this case, we're storing each version as plain text files and then we make the git repo by compiling all of them.

> And then how would you visualize the whole thing just to keep it straight in your head ?

Like this for example [2].

Buetol··on US Constitution – A Git repo with history of edits
If you're curious of the origin of each word, a word-by-word "git blame", I just made a visualization of that [1]. For example, "We the people" comes from the draft by Morris.

Also, somebody else did the work a few years ago [2], would be interesting to compare them.

Buetol··on EU opens Amazon antitrust investigation
I guess that's why they are firing more than 1000 people right now in France, the people building nuclear reactor turbines. Or maybe because it's more strategic to produce those in the US so the french can be at their mercy, I don't know what makes the most sense. Especially since the US tried to bully France when they refused to go to Irak with them, they halted all military exports to France but we are independent enought that it didn't do any dommage.
Buetol··on EU opens Amazon antitrust investigation
It's an opinion piece about a book, the american trap, which is a demonstration of the US being the bully of the world and racketing every country which make more sense to me that the french government choosing the wrong deal by incompetence

Oops, it's only in the french version, here's an article about that: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-15/-the-amer...
Buetol··on EU opens Amazon antitrust investigation
FYI, that's what the US does already and big time. They racket companies with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, it has always been applied to foreign and strategic companies. Recently the U.S. even emprisoned a french just to put pressure and aquire Alstom, an extremely strategic french company [0] (nuclear reactor, trains,...)

So, EU fighting back doesn't suprise me !

Buetol··on Gnirehtet – reverse tethering over adb for Android
Just used for the first time five minutes ago but it works perfectly. Used it because my only internet access is by ethernet cable and only my phone manage to connect to the Bluetooth speakers :)
Buetol··on Ask HN: Has anyone got a job by contributing to open source projects?
Yup, all of them in fact, it's a very tangible proof you can work on the subject. Sadly, I do mostly Python and JS so I can't mentor you but as mentionned in other comments, lot of projects are looking for contributors, Firefox is good project for example.

Buetol··on Show HN: Inlets 2.0 – expose your local endpoints to the Internet
If it's more trivial than an simple "pip install & onion-expose 8000", then please tell me ! (this is theorical, onion-expose is not yet on PyPI)

Also, let's learn from our history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

Buetol··on Show HN: Inlets 2.0 – expose your local endpoints to the Internet
I also like the idea of "onion-expose"[0], no need for a central server anymore and a stable address for free !

Buetol··on The Slow Death of Hollywood
I have another guess: Rising inequalities in the U.S. means fewer and fewer people can have access to high quality movies. This means the internal market, which is the fuel of Hollywood, is dying and that's why Hollywood is dying.

It's just an intuition and a guess.

EDIT: Also, it could mean that the concentration of money inside a few hands in Hollywood mean they try to make fewer movies so they get more return on investment. For example, if you produce 20 movies per month or 10 movies per month, and you have a monopoly, then it's cheaper and almost as profitable to 10 movies a month. Only an healthy competition or subsidies like in France can make you want to produce more movies.

Buetol··on Software Below the Poverty Line
It doesn’t take into account that countries like France gives you some good benefits while you’re unemployed (like paying you the same salary you had before for a year) while you use this time to make FOSS that’s easy to maintain. There is a good study to be done on how people in countries with good social benefits make more and better FOSS !
