An other post mentioned http://www.getdonedone.com/ which promises GitHub, Basecamp, Harvest etc integration

Is there any such tool (free or not) that integrates with GitHub and it is ready to use?

It would be great to not maintain 2 issues list, 2 milestones etc.

My understanding is, that the attitude was "throwing numbers together and calling it a dashboard is bad, ask the users what they actually want".

Thanks! It's a straight forward shell script using wget. It just needs twitter handle and working folder name, downloads everything.

Tried to ask Amazon several times, always the same canned response.

"Please be informed that, the Cloud Drive desktop application is no longer available for download from the Amazon.com website. However, if you currently have the application installed on your computer it will continue to upload files, photos, and videos to your Cloud Drive account. If you uninstall the application, you won't be able to reinstall it from the website. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused."

"Alternatively, you can access your Cloud Drive from any web browser. You can upload files, photos, and videos to your Cloud Drive account on the website at any time"

"You can use the "Select Photos and Videos" button that displays onscreen to choose multiple files to upload at once. Uploading folders is not currently available within the Cloud Drive website."

"I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. "

"Your concern will be reviewed for consideration as we will make every effort to evaluate the information you have provided, and try our level best to lead it to program changes or enhancements."

Right. But if you have 10s of GB of pictures, documents it is pretty much useless without the desktop sync.

Hosting your own server might not be a scalable solution either. There's a reason why SaaS is popular: it's not that easy.

On the downside: stuff hosted by others might go away. Web pages, web services, apps requiring server side support...

Investing a lot in a service makes it more painful to lose, like the apparently discontinued Amazon Cloud Drive (supposed to be a cheaper Dropbox): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8219257

It looks strange and not REST:

    GET /vehicles/{id}/command/set_charge_limit?percent={limit_value}

    Set the charge limit to a custom percentage.

Re: Get in shape - there's Planet Granite nearby, it worth checking out, signing up for some classes.

I second Toastmasters. It's good for speaking skills too http://www.manager-tools.com/2011/06/coaching-presentation-s...

There are others too with "looks like Scala":

I think everybody can see their own favorite language in it... and that's a good thing.

For me it looks like Scala + a sprinkle of C++14 :)

C != OpenSSL. Some [1] would argue OpenSSL is not representative at all what C can do. Maybe you should check out Redis for beauty [2] and joy [3].

On the same note C != C++ either and you can write large systems in C++ without ever using memory allocation. You can use only bounds checked functions.

And you can have large security holes if you're not careful, no matter which language you pick.

There's no "just use X" type of answer in security.

> Secondly, they can be given green cards and other such things, why is this specific visa necessary?

Normal path: H1B -> Green Card -> 5 yr waiting -> Citizenship

You will not get GC directly, unless: (a) Apply for GC lottery (b) Marry US citizen (c) Claim refugee status (d) Your US citizen relatives ask for it and you wait 8+ years to get it

How this affects the (pretty high) Xamarin prices? https://store.xamarin.com/

So far CMake served us well. I'm using it for 8 or so years now for small and larger systems.

I especially like that one file allows me to develop on XCode, somebody else on Visual Studio and finally deploy on Linux/gcc. One config file creates native projects on all 3 platforms, no manual hacking.

With Consumer Reports info I got 5% off MSRP. With CarWoo it was 10% off and a lot less work.

But when it runs out of water (or you forget to fill it up), it just burns...

Thanks Mike!

It is different.

Using DSL to describe your domain (application) is normal. One application = one domain.

Learning in addition 15 different DSLs for libraries and tools, just because it's cute, is not the way to go. Soon you will argue about the exact definition of monad instead of shipping code.

Right. Look at the many wonderful and widely used applications or websites implemented in those heavy DSL systems!

Here is the full list:

Looks promising.

Too bad the last commit was 2 years ago...

A good description: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6339790/what-does-a-ajax-...

The idea: you need such workaround only if you return JSON Array.

Most of the API returns JSON Object in which case the attack does not work, it will result in syntax error.

It is interesting to see small implementations like these - you can get a feel for a language in seconds.
