Yes, you are right, I didn't see that the article was from before the vote and didn't read it carefully enough.

As you can see from the code in my post, the script runs, but the server responds with a 403 error. That looks more like the JS is doing the wrong request in FF. The problem seems to be the referrer. For comparison: Referrer in FF: http

I wonder about the ranking for the 'Communication' category. Somehow there are protocols, clients and services mixed up. To give an example of each: - Service: Jabber.org - Protocol: OMEMO - Software: Gajim Next, the score seems t

I wonder why Mozilla is lately so fond of collecting user data. Do they have a new data mining department which is looking for work? Did someone tell them to do data driven development/marketing? If they really want to know more about

AFAIK, LIDAR doesn't use just some digicam. So the video we see there should be very different from what the sensors actually see in such a situation.

While we saw there some Smalltalk development UIs, I was clearly missing some 'modern' Visualworks screenshot with the classic 4 slot upper part and the large code window below (similar to the System Browser on slide 3): https:&#

Well, it might be that I was doing something wrong, but in the end I didn't have circular dependencies anymore, so I was doing right again? (just kidding) ;-) So in fact, I don't like to have circular dependencies in Go either and

Btw. Interfaces can also be used to resolve circular dependencies: Just define compatible interfaces in both packages et voilà, no circular dependencies anymore. I am not sure if I agree with > Defining an interface upfront is usually a

Why am I not surprised that this happend with an Uber self driving car? In fact, their culture of ignoring rules and common sense might be okay for business development, but with respect to human safety it is just irresponsible and inhuman

Nobody else has a problem with the mix up of 'Machine Learning' and 'Deep Learning' here? Last time I heard of those terms, 'Machine Learning' was a much broader category than 'Deep Learning'. Its lik

Actually, I don't quite like Matrix and mostly just for one reason. While decentralized communication isn't easy nowadays, they drive the protocol split that parts the developer community. Now devs have to decide if they want to b

At first I found it a little awkward, but after trying it, I think it works very well (e.g. much better than email due to instant nature of XMPP). I just don't know how vulnerable this extension is to spam.

Well, I don't see the value in having multiple UI platforms in the first place. So I would rather have one very good UI toolkit for all platforms than having a lot of pros and cons for all the native toolkits. I think the most common p

I was wondering what this could be good for, but then I noticed that sharing my XMPP account password with some strange website would be a bad idea. Instead giving them session based access to my account could be acceptable. I am curious wh

The problem with Qt, GTK, etc. is that you can't use them on websites[1]. Meanwhile you can build most applications as websites, which don't require any installation and are available everywhere and instantly. I am a Linux desktop

In fact, there are many downsides performance wise when you think about electron: - it is as slow as any other web rendering engine - it uses as much memory as any other browser - you have huge binaries The key benefit of electron is that y

If you want to argue about OO you should use Smalltalk. Many other languages use some shortcuts (often for performance reasons) which ignore central concepts of OO (e.g. 'everything is an object').

Well, the conceptual view is always first. So in fact a square is a subclass of a rectangle. Implementation comes second, and has to find out how much code sharing is possible.

> Inheritance was never a problem: trying to use the same tree for three different concepts was the problem. I wonder why the author describes Polymorphism[1], but doesn't mention the term in any way. At the same time he uses the wo

Well, getting the data out of it is just one part. I mean everything what makes Airtable better than excel, will be gone when they turn off their service. That's a major issue if you want to use their service for anything that actually

I like to add the lookahead: grep -oP '(?<=...)pattern(?=...)' The caveat however is that the look{ahead,behind} pattern has to be of fixed length.

I just saw Airtable for the fist time and it looks awesome. Yet I am a little concerned about the vendor lock in. Does anybody know a self hosted alternative?

I am neither a ProtonMail nor a Gmail user so this might be completely wrong, but as far as I understand it, the short answer to your question is: ProtonMail offers an easy access to a client which supports End-To-End encryption for your em

I had the Bylock story in mind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16203989 There were other apps using tracking pixels with the Bylock domain and their users got arrested too.

Actually, I am not sure if it wise to circumvent that block. I mean its probably as easy as typing echo "8.8.8.8" > /etc/hosts to a root shell, but since we know that in the past people have been send to prison
