No thanks
tl;dr “Symbolic Self-Completion"
"Several readers wanted to know how they could access the Other folder on their phones or tablets.
The answer: you can’t. The Facebook apps don’t permit you to see the Other folder. (You can, of course, go to www.facebook.com in your phone or tablet’s Web browser — don’t use the app — to work on the Other folder there.)"
You can on Android: hit the gear symbol next to the 'Messages' menu option in the Facebook app menu
I read that article this morning and still signed up for pingpoll minutes later..
The infosec (specifically, appsec) space seems very very interesting.
Using the common motive of "making the show appeal to a wider [American] audience," it seemed to me that they wanted her character to hit closer to home than a polished young lady would. Of course, my opinion is just a shallow one - a thought in passing.
Thinking on it now you are probably right to question me on my association of 'rude and spoiled' with 'American,' but that was just my gut reaction. FWIW, I'm an American with minimal knowledge of the demeanor teenage girls from other societies, Western or otherwise.
It's not "one bad email," it is a series of emails demonstrating a pattern of ridiculous and entirely unacceptable behavior. Behavior that is unbecoming of any businessperson, and not someone I personally would associate myself with if possible.
In the show they made her out to be... American. Rude, spoiled, etc. Other than that I just wish they had the time and the audience to tell the FULL story in all it's glory. Of course it's expected that the sub-plots have to be trimmed of the minutiae, but the complexity and ambiguity is part of what makes ASoIaF so amazing.
Basically, a definition-fetching app that stores the definitions in a clean and aesthetic manner.
I tried making this as my first web app using the Google Dictionary API, but they disabled it just as I had something going in Flask. I keep trying to get back to making it but I've got so much to learn. Maybe I should just...... FIND A WAY. OR MAKE ONE???
I'd use it everyday, especially if it was a browser addon :)
Here's a brief explanation of how to get it up and running - https://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/master/how-to-run-news
I had arc.news up and running a few months ago. The code is quite outdated but has all the essentials to get your own HN site. Truthfully, it'd be very nice so get a crack at some more recent code.
Personally, I'd love to use arc.news to run a closed news aggregator/discussion site for a close group of friends.
Great app nonetheless!
