It drives me crazy when I see people do it. For the most part tools like VSCode have plugins for it as well, so no need to send this stuff to random third party.

The biggest struggle for me is diffing random bits of text. Pulling two JSON docs from the DB and wanting to compare them. Recently found a VSCode plugin that makes it a bit better, but still a pain in the ass.

I really like this on mobile. 90% of the time when I hit the address bar on mobile it is to go to a different URL, not mess with the existing URL. If I need to edit the URL of where I am it is just 1 extra button.

A+, do love, great UX (for me)

The MMO EVE Online has a substantial, if not the vast majority (I never looked at the non-Python code so don't actually know how much of it there is), of its code written in Python. Most of that Python code is gameplay code. The graphics, networking, and audio layers for example are NOT written in Python.

In this case yes, however they also indicate this is how they do their staged rollouts in general. So if they are releasing any other software update that goes through the staged rollout free customers are tested first. If that change broke something, free customers get that first. Which seems fair to me.

Correct on the decommissioning plans. SpaceX lists out in their FCC filings a number of things including how long it will take them to actively de-orbit satellites, how long for them to de-orbit if they lose contact/control, and also how much of the material will survive re-entry.

I have read conflicting things so don't hold me to this, but on article I read said they delayed adding the laser links to the current batch of Starlink satellites because of concerns over how much would survive the de-orbit maneuver.

The video in the article you linked is not a good example of the long term impacts. The satellites were at a lower orbit than their final orbit and not oriented the same way they will be once in their operational orbit. Once they reach their final orbit, which most of them have now, they will be far more spread out, higher, and all around much harder to identify. That and SpaceX is actively working with astronomy groups to try and lower their impact.

Even if they are easily visible, so what. Should we not build roads because then our children wont be able to see things the same as we saw them? It's progress, and really good progress in this case.

All of that aside, I fail to see how it makes a dystopian future. A quick Google says the definition of dystopian is "relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice." I fail to see how internet providing satellites are making people suffer or feel injustice. If they work out they will bring internet to a substantial number of people who cannot get reliable and cheap access to resources you and I take for granted every day.

SpaceX's whole goal is lowering the cost of access to space. Again assuming they achieve that goal to the degree they want to, and Starship is sure looking to be a giant step in that direction, then deploying a space based telescope very well might just be the better option. You can basically make it as big as you want and shipping it to space could be cheaper than shipping it to some random place on this planet to be built.

Looks nice and simple. I recently went looking for a ToDo list app and landed on TickTick. So far it has been really good. Specifically it is very focused on lists, not notes, has a global keyboard shortcut for adding new items, and just lots of nice little features to help make managing a bunch of lists easier.

This is actually believed to be the first market SpaceX is going to go after. It lets them focus more on the tech and make sure it works before trying to scale things like the production of the phased array antennas to the point an average consumer can afford it or even things like user signups and subscriptions and all the legal "fun" that will come with trying to be a last-mile providers globally.

Some of their largest markets are going to be in countries where people cannot afford to have their own phased array antennas anyways. So yeah, especially early this will probably be their market.

They sure liked repeating "secure encrypted infrastructure".

I was a little confused about the timeline of this as they mentioned implementing some functionality back in 2005. If I understand this right the specific issue of storing some (unsure as to what percentage or quantity) users passwords unhashed:

  - started in January of this year
  - is now fixed
  - were stored for up to 14 days in this state
  - would only effect new years signing up (based on it being part of the signup flow)

Do I understand that right?

No need to be sorry. Your English is fine and what you said makes perfect sense. As someone who doesn't post on Medium this is great in helping understand why people use it. So thank you for sharing.

I would be really curious how much of an effect that has. I have only ever gone to Medium because I followed a link to a post. Never because I was browsing Medium and found another article to read.

I would be really curious if anyone who does post on Medium was able to offer some insights into where most their readers come from. Is it from people already on Medium or external. Don't know if they even have access to metrics like that.

The struggle for me in understanding why people use Medium is that I am a reader of Medium articles, but I only find them when posted on Reddit, HackerNews, or when they come up on a Google Search. So as far as I can tell it wouldn't matter if it was posted on Medium or a personal blog on their own site.

I don't publish anything ever really so I don't understand the appeal of using Medium. Can anyone explain it to me? Is it just the ease of use? Write some text, click button, it's available online?

I currently use Wire. Their apps are solid, not perfect thats for sure but good enough, but most importantly I am not required to use my phone number to register an account.

That live transcription built into Android Q that works on device and for any app is incredible. I can see so many uses for that myself, I cannot imagine how awesome something like that would be for people who have difficulty hearing.

Cloudflare returns a proper response for me.

Anyone seen any more details on Anthos Migrate?

Google is launching the first beta of Anthos Migrate today. This service will auto-migrate VMs from on-premises or other clouds into containers in the Google Kubernetes Engine. The promise here is that this is essentially an automatic process and once the container is on Google’s platform

Edit: They demoed it on stage a few minutes after I asked... should have just waited. >.<

A few months ago I deleted Facebook and part of doing that looked into what messaging app to move to. I needed something easy to use as I wanted to get my family on it but also really didn't want to link my phone number.

I ended up landing on Wire and so far have found it to be really good. You can register with phone number but it is not required and you can register with an email instead.

I find it to still be funny...

Same thing with the Google Home's. The first step in our good morning routine is set the volume low and the last step is increase the volume again at the end.

O_O 500+TB Artifactory cluster! Hahahaha ours is like 30GB and just RPMs. Was it much of a challenge to scale Artifactory to that level?

Voxter Communications | Software Developer | ONSITE | Vancouver, BC, Canada | Full-time

Voxter is a VoIP provider with clients including Slack and Optimizely. We focus on building power solutions that fit our customers needs. We are looking for backend and frontend developers as well as an engineering manager.

We have a mix of colocation hardware and GCP. The backend is primarily Erlang backed by RabbitMQ and CouchDB. The frontend is primarily Angular.

The 1password devs specifically say that the Windows team has been playing around with Rust. So they at least seem to be looking into it and treating it as a real possibility.

I don't imagine anything will come from it for a while however.

Ah, they put an underscore in the var name this time. Thanks for the link.

The related commits are years old. This isn't new. Last commit to that line was 3 years ago with the comment "unblocking embedding of twitter timelines".

https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/commit/c4cd7c1dc41a0...

Also I just realized that is an archived repo that isn't used any more.

I took a quick look through the newer repos and couldn't find any kind of hard coded whitelist like that.

Am I missing something?

A message in this case probably doesn't mean a Tweet. A message if probably just a message on the bus/in the queue and any action on Twitter probably produces one. Like, retweet, tweet, follow, sign up, everything.

This basically describes it: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007320551-Li...

> Multiple mobile devices and Android tablets are not currently supported.

Also for me anyways I have changed numbers 3 times in the last 6 years. Once when I moved to Iceland, once when I moved back to Canada, and once due to abuse on my number. Having a service that can be tied to email instead of phone number is awesome.

As far as I understand it Signal is basically considered the most secure option out there. After looking at lots of options which primarily included Telegram, Wire, Keybase, and Signal I settled on Wire as the reasonable compromise.

I actually really liked Keybase. It was just a little too complicated for random family members.

> I also love that I can set messages to expire and they're gone for everyone.

Wire has that feature as well. Works on direct messages and can be set on group chats as well.

I was really close to using Signal but ended up going with Wire. The requirement to use a phone number just didn't work for me. The multi-device support was also a bit lacking.

I have not yet but plan to. I announced my intention to delete it last week. Since then I have been getting as many people as I can, that want it, setup on Wire.

The main reason I didn't delete it yet is that I just started my vacation to Iceland and wanted to make sure I can arrange meetings with my friends here for Christmas and New Year's.

My plan was, and still is, to delete it on New Year's eve.

I did do a bunch of research on different messaging apps before announcing my intention to delete Facebook so that I could point those that want it to another app.

Here on the west coast of Canada it's really hard. Everyone uses Facebook messenger for chatting. I am definitely going to lose contact with a number of people when I pull the trigger.

Between email, SMS, Discord (along with Steam and Battle.net to a lesser degree), and Wire I should have a way to contact most of the people I currently chat to.

It's really hard though and my wife isn't enthusiastic about it as she wants me to stay in contact with her family and they basically just use Facebook. They also live in another country so SMS is more costly.

Will be interesting to see how much it effects me next year.

When Valve announced the cancelation of the Steam Link I was fairly sad as I thought it was an amazing device that got a lot of use in our house.

Seeing the release of this it makes more sense. I cannot imagine they were making much money on the Steam Link's.
