capevace··on LinkedDataHub: The Knowledge Graph Notebook
So I don’t personally have many use cases for RDF-type data, but I plan on implementing RDF data endpoints in a music library app I’m building.

I suppose RDF thrives in the academic space, whereas userspace suffers from a chicken and egg type problem. There aren’t many common services available that have public RDF endpoints, so few applications using them get built.

Edit: I suppose that’s what LinkedDatHub provides then, a way for researchers to build API-transformers into their graph, so they can then use it with SPARQL.

capevace··on A cross-platform GUI for YouTube-dl
I built a similar thing a while back, but instead of electron it’s just an web server that exposes a simple UI form and downloads videos to pre-set folders on your server.

capevace··on Blue Apron becomes a penny stock, trading under $1 for the first time
I once worked for their biggest competitor - HelloFresh - as a door-to-door salesperson and I have to say... the way we were told to pitch to potential customers was terrible. We were told to sign up the customer and then then opt-out of delivery for a period of 5 weeks so the customer forgets that they’re still subscribed. The salespeople - mostly ~20 year olds - were also heavily exploited and the wages and commissions not paid. I’m lucky I got out quick because otherwise they pressure you to stay because most of your colleagues become your friends and they then peer pressure you...

I’ll assume it’s quite similar to BlueApron... but I don’t know for sure...

AFAIK Google Fonts doesn’t allow browsers to cache the fonts for tracking purposes...
capevace··on Ask HN: What is the most unethical thing you've done as a programmer?
I had one of those SEO obsessed bosses. They’re the worst since they never understand how SEO actually works and throw around buzzwords.

If he really was shitty otherwise too, good on you.
