This is still somewhat far from what I was hoping to see, but nonetheless a great inspiration and a good start. I worked on an a small Firefox plugin whereby would enable visually impaired users to use firefox and interact with websites usi

In some cases, if they have to break it, they have to break it. CPython developers are notorious for writing PEP and takes so many iterations, debate till end of the world, in order for the developers to accept and publish a PEP. While I do

I agree with all the above, but I am more concerned with what's given out. Not a great idea for a tutorial IMO. You can make the point without having to actually using that command - just make it clear as a comment. If this were some o

My take: not everyone has time to read this right now. I use upvote to "bookmark", and I expect not everyone here use Java. I am not, but I intend to give it a round at some point.

I believe in your userdata script you can write a line to download a Python script from S3, then proceed to execute. Don't quote me on this since I don't use userdata. However, note that userdata will only run once at launch time.

A small visual complain. The Django logo is really too big. I am on a big screen, not sure if that's relevant. But it's preferable to scale back. Firefox 57 on Mac.

> Why not just run ElasticSearch on a single instance then ? Sorry, I am not sure why you brought up a single instance. If you run on a single instance, you lose half of the benefits of ES which is trying to be highly available. If we ha

Have worked with ES... If you want the out-of-the-box distributed experience, then you can't go wrong with Elasticsearch because of the built-in sharding mechanism. However, figuring out how many shards you need for each index, where s

If the claim is true, would you rather someone pull it out and access your data? This is like breaking HSM. So why “fuck that shit”? I hear a lot of people worrying not enough encryption. So perhaps take this as a positive thing??? Having a

This is not only a sign of "I am hating this company, I want nothing to do with it", but my theory is he's going to start a company eventually, perhaps a competitor in another market. I don't think he's over his dre

Thank you! I am glad I know this trick now! I cited your comment in my other comment. This trick is so thoughtful from Apple - I have to mention this.

I am sure the mobile devs will jump in and give an authoritative answer, but you can refuse to send usage data to Mozilla by toggle off in Focus’s settings.

When it comes to emergency, you probably right we can't shop around. But when it comes to taking medication, there should be a price. In HK, we can find out the price of a treatment or a surgery from the hospital's website. Maybe

I am sorry, but I read it three times and I am still unsure how the practice helps the providers? I was looking for "stealing more from clients", but I can't deduce any from this anecdote.
