Yep, that's the case for me. The plausible choices for me personally are basically remote work, commuting to DC on MARC, or starting a company with a remote cofounder.

You might like http://postgraphile.org , which is "postgrest for graphql" but where you can override anything with normal Node code – it's just an express plugin. (The docs don't make it obvious how powerful&#

(I worked on the same team as bkrausz, elsewhere on this thread, albeit not concurrently). Yes, this is pretty much the right thing to do. It can be a bit more work for the API consumer, partly because they need to track state of their last

In this talk from 2017, around 1h30m in, he says that he hasn't yet found a way to make no-till organic work in terms of weed prevention. But, he said he was close to figuring it out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uUmI

Hah! I had the exact same reaction. "Bilal Quadri!" Couldn't remember if you were famous or someone I knew. Let's catch up.

Should any of those be autocompleted?

It depends on whether they fix the problems before launch and whether the issues found during preview cause Real Problems (eg, secrets found this way resulting in significant cybercrime).

We should keep in mind that the product is still in beta / technical preview.

I don't understand why you're comparing Audacity to Python. ffmpeg would be a much better comparison to emacs or python – and I admit I'd be surprised if ffmpeg was emitting telemetry like crash reports. Audacity's more

"This kind of surveillance" meaning… crash reports from audio-editing software? I am absolutely NOT fine with audio-editing software scraping my hard drive, and would uninstall it immediately and request my friends do the same if

:) I am seriously not! EDIT: I am worried about governments coming after some people, but I am not worried that Audacity's ToS telemetry or ToS will be pivotal to their success in doing so. Just look at Assange – they got him on fa

by rattray 5y ago
That's pretty much what I assume is true of any software I use these days, and it doesn't bother me. As long as governments need a warrant to access my data, I'm okay with their ability to do so - it's incumbent on me to

Did you read the article? It sounds like a fantastic way to get full time engineering devoted to software that will stay free and open source, by a company that has a track record of making free and open source software for music profession

Come on. Everybody sends crash reports so their developers can fix bugs that cause crashes. Audacity doesn't have incriminating data about its users. Are you seriously worried that the KGB is gonna request your extradition because of t

No, I'm saying you do both - proactively steer routes that are obviously going to write to the primary, and use the clever retry technique for everything else. The retry technique is something you must do as a fallback, but it causes a

You can't _only_ do that, but it seems like a reasonable place to start for REST API's. I don't think there's anything to change in your product, just that the docs should recommend ways to reroute as early as possible i

At least there's still Khan Academy. Very different niche, though – I sure wish they'd been the new homes of edX's content…

Yes, I have tried Sriraja Panich. To me it's a "better ketchup" but too sweet for most applications. I might give Bachan's a try!

Trader Joe's incredible ability to pull this off in general, and inability to replicate Huy Fong (at least, last I tried) is a big part of what convinces me that Huy Fong must be doing something really special in how they make their sa
