When I get a Pinterest login popup, I just click the button at the bottom that says "Not now". Then I can browse the images.

Does that mean if I want to use an open source client with Slack, I can use the Gitter BridgeBot and open source Gitter client? Does it work with private Slack channels?

From what I have seen the best solution for bridging chat protocols is a "tube" from https://sameroom.io - not free though.

Oh man I feel your pain. I spent so much time working on a Backbone project wondering what the purpose of all that MVC structure was, and I still don't know.

If only we could build all own systems from scratch. I guess I'd be lucky to finish a working terminal emulator, editor and shell in my lifetime, and maybe a window manager as a stretch goal.

It feels like when you're tinkering with hardware a lot more parts of the brain are challenged and thus generate a more fulfilling experience. I totally agree with this sentiment, but I would add: I know a guy who designs hardware fo

The problem is in 2018, everyone intolerant person claims the only thing they're intolerant of is intolerance. Conservatives complain about liberal intolerance and vice-versa. We've moved from plain level-0 intolerance to meta-int

I only resort to blame to understand how a particular odd piece of code came to be Right. The idea of downplaying "blame" in corporate culture isn't to conceal where bugs came from; it's to make it more socially accept

Crazy that we still use apps instead of protocols for feeds and video. What's the closest thing to an open substitute? I've been looking at Gajim for XMPP + video chat https://gajim.org/

> Even in a cheap area, nobody is going to open a deli or cornershop without a plan for paying the rent. Sure, the question is how experimental of a plan can you attempt. In SF 2018: not very. I know people who pooled their money for an

You can't control every factor. Arguing for "equality of opportunity" really just means taking a laissez-faire attitude as to who succeeds. It means not making explicit exclusionary rules as to who can participate, but also n

Are things in the US are that bad? Maybe you should focus on how to help people with lower-paying jobs not starve, rather than pushing to make sure that the scarce "living-wage" jobs are going to women instead of men.

Without cheap rent, it's very difficult to experiment. In places where space is plentiful and inexpensive, you can try setting up a quirky shop or cafe. In an overcrowded and expensive market like SF, you can't rent commercial pro

My only concern is that the end user can always control which Certificate Authorities his/her browser accepts, and that anyone can set up their own CA. It seems like both of these conditions are vital for the future of decentralized we

I use the neverssl.com trick and I worry: if browsers stop supporting plan HTTP, doesn't it mean this won't work anymore?

Right, that's why I find their nutritional claim hard to believe: 2g protein per 35 KCal is better than tahini, eggplant, or chickpea individually.

by racer-v 9y ago
Plant sources tend to have a higher ratio of calories to protein, so it's tough if you're limiting calories. Chickpeas, eggplant, and tahini all have protein; Trader Joe's Eggplant Hummus has all three, but somehow manages to

Nobody is saying that you can't have healthy habits in 2018. Now they have to be a deliberate choice, because the default is driving / riding to work (as most people do). Nor is anyone saying the past was ideal. I am saying we can

According to the theory of Non-Violent Communication (NVC), it's better to identify a specific instance of the behavior rather than generalize. 1. Agree that a particular thing happened 2. Express how you felt about that thing happenin

It's a data point that many crime victims ask not to be contacted by the perpetrator. Again I'm asking you whose benefit this apology is for. If it's for your own benefit, maybe it's not warranted.
