Just tried the word "crotte" which means "dung" in french. It returned "No results found for this search. It looks likely that it's safe." Phew, it's a good thing I speak french :)

You're putting the finger on the problem, this is a motivation problem. Dealers are incentivized to sell not to inform.

Very cool! I was always struggling during live presentations switching from browser to console window. Now I can use a browser window on the projector screen for both presentation and console.

Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me: I have to give tarsnap a shot

> The problem - Anger management, blames people for things when they go wrong. Unreasonable work expectations for product features and expectations that a person would be available anytime/any day weekends including to do work and support. Does not pay properly or on time. Does not communicate properly on what is happening at the high level. In short, someone for whom you will find it hard to work for even if you like the problem the company is trying to solve and doing your best for its success.

Have you raised this to him/her? My two cents: raise all the points along with one or two advices, this way she/he won't feel attacked but rather helped.

You may end up quitting if you're not satisfied with the reaction but at least you will have tried to fix it.

I wonder if anyone who has worked on the project dared listing it on their résumé. I would :)

We've hired both "experienced" remote workers and "inexperienced" remote workers. I noticed that those with little to no experience working remotely are so excited (liberated?) working that way that it almost seem as if they are extra productive.

I am surprised that Amazon did not add support to more API description formats like RAML or apiblueprint. It is such a key feature. If I wanted to use this service in front of existing APIs, even only one API, I would not want to go through the work of having to redefine all my endpoints through a web form!

Shameless plug: after working on several API projects, I have been researching ways to not have to "code" over and over again what goes into creating endpoints, it became so repetitive. Lately, I turned to RAML (Yaml for REST) and, with 4 other developers, we created an opensource project called Ramses. It creates a fully functional API from a RAML file. It is a bit opinionated but having to "just" edit a Yaml file when building a new API simplified my life. As a bonus, I also get a documentation and a javascript client generated from the same file.

EDIT: forgot the url https://github.com/brandicted/ramses and url of a quick start tutorial: https://realpython.com/blog/python/create-a-rest-api-in-minu...

You can keep existing models/views from an existing project as long as they're not defined in RAML. We're planning (soon) on adding the ability to add resources in your RAML file that would be ignored by Ramses.

This is how Ramses starts: https://github.com/chrstphrhrt/ramses-tutorial/blob/master/p...

Makes you wanna eat APIs for lunch :)

What would be the difference between this and using something like APScheduler? Doesn't it achieve the same thing?

On a related note, there is highly educative book on Yiddish called: "If You Can't Say Anything Nice, Say It In Yiddish" by L.B. Epstein [1].

Yiddish curses put any other language's curses to shame. They use a lot of very well thought analogies. They also sometimes revive a bit of the (lost) history of the Jewish people pre-wwII.

One of my neighbours is blind and he mentioned that Humanware's products were good. Do you know about the Braillenote / VoiceNote? Starting price is ~$2k though and I don't know if you can get it subsidized and if you can, to what proportion... Hope you find that information useful.

Tragic

Nice. You should call it tldr

Lots of "Microsoft" on the front page of HN.

Not if you land on the map like I did.

UI is nice & clean although I did not understand right away what the service did. Maybe a tag line would help.

You just did the same thing :)

Thanks for the time-saving description. Osx also has a built-in NFS client.

You should remove 'sudo' and '--global' from 'sudo npm install skit --global' in your getting started guide. I almost had a heart attack when I first saw it.

Otherwise, it looks very promising!

And stepping on shit brings good fortune in many different cultures :)

I grew up in France and my favorite (french) literature teacher (and best one, IMO) once told me that it was in the nature of languages to evolve. This was especially true with French as a result of the abondance of cultural exchanges throughout the centuries.

Over the years, French has had influences from many languages including Arabic, e.g. the word "Abricot" (the fruit) comes from that language. It also provides an indication as of where a given new word has been originated.

He also said that it is up to the people to dictate the usage of new words. Some new words have been suggested by the Académie Française to replace words that had been taken from other languages. But in the end, if people dont use that replacement, then it is the (foreign) word that will be adopted in the dictionary.

He gave the example of "shopping", a word taken from the English and widely used in France but reluctantly used in Quebec for cultural (political?) reasons.

It wouldn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Le phénomène décrit me souvient..." would sound wrong in the ear of a native french speaker.

This looks very promising and useful knowing that most therapists in 2015 still take data on a piece of paper and draw graphs by hand!

What does French have to do with this? In French, it would read: "m'a rappelé" = "reminded me".

Thanks for the clarification. I have heard a similar story before.

> is asperger (or would be if that were still distinct)

What do you mean by that?

The Last Starfighter is by far the most underrated scifi movie of all time.
