Gotcha. Thanks for the reply.

> I don't understand your second paragraph, sorry.

Seems pretty clear to me: did you get permission from your customers before publishing your correspondence with them?

Was it for fun or for business?

Interesting! That somewhat defeats the purpose of Uber, doesn't it?

Does anyone know how to make this work with tmux splits? I tried setting this up but the images would be displayed across splits as if w3m was taking up the whole terminal.

Have you ever driven by the streets next to Pioneer park downtown? On a certain street by the homeless shelter it's basically Tent City

Here in Salt Lake I have never been asked for a tip.

In general though, I've found Uber experiences to vary significantly by region. In Salt Lake, I usually sit in the front seat, drivers are chatty, and the whole thing feels like "someone giving you a ride". In NYC, by contrast, I mostly sit in the back (a lot of the time the driver will block off the front passenger seat), drivers don't tend to talk, and the whole thing feels like a cab ride.

In fact, I would guess that many Uber drivers in NYC are/were taxi drivers.

...please tell me this is a joke

I was trying to build an online presence as an indie game dev for a while, #gamedev and #indiegames generated a lot of bot retweets. Bot retweets tend to cascade, too - other bots that may have missed the original tweet pick up the retweets. Finding the right hashtags can be a pretty good way to get (human) eyes on your message, due to that exponential growth factor.

What languages are on the road map?

Also, really really well done!

> Most of your points are basically "it doesn't look right to me"

The objection was "the mathematical symbols are not being used correctly", not "it doesn't look right to me". Which makes a big difference if the point of putting math symbols into your code is to make it read like an equation , as the author is attempting to do.

I would say use CloudFlare, but...

If you look at the textual representation of the hex sequences, you can find the string "SHA-1 is dead!!!!!".

Why?

[Edit] Just saw it. This is why I shouldn't read HN on my phone.

We don't have any spacecraft that can go that fast, do we?

Good luck!

Did you get the job?

I would love to take a look at the source code for this!

> See the pyramid shape and all the }) at the end? Eek! This is affectionately known as callback hell.

In other words, "callback hell" is simply the state of having too many nested inline callbacks. It makes the code uglier and for some harder to read. That's why pulling callbacks out into their own functions (i.e., making them no longer inline) fixes callback hell.

The Sourcegraph Chrome extension provides this for Python, JavaScript and a few other languages I think.

I think it depends on what the JavaScript is used for. I agree that blogs and news site should be static, but forums - and in general, sites with a high degree of user interactivity - can see significant UX improvements with some JavaScript, for things like asynchronous loading, changing the UI without reloading the page, and even nice animations (although many of those can be done in CSS these days). However, graceful degradation is very important - disabliing JavaScript on these sites shouldn't break them, merely impact the UX.

[Edit] "blogs and news sites should be static" -> this should read "blogs and news sites don't need JavaScript"

That sounds like open source to me.

This is a side project of mine arising from my frustration that existing eBook readers for Linux are ugly as sin. It's not yet fully-featured, but it has enough functionality that I have switched to it as my default reader.

Feedback and contributions are welcome!

Not at first. But if the tide turns enough, Apple with have to jump on board to avoid losing market share.

Google still is! Progressive web apps now have the ability to be installed "natively" on Android devices [0], meaning they show up in the app drawer like any other app rather than being limited to a home screen icon.

I think these are the future. Once they catch on with mainstream consumers, native apps won't stand a chance against the convenience of simply visiting a website to install/use. Plus, on the developer end, we finally have a true "write once, run anywhere" situation that doesn't involve any complex toolchains or hacky wrappers.

Totally agree with this. The concerning part for me is that ML is about making a "best guess" given some data. This means that your tests may pass one time and fail another - inconsistent tests aren't tests at all.

Ah understood. In that case, I'll echo the comments below - I would choose SQLite to preserve data relationships with automated dumps to plain text (maybe JSON? Something parseable, anyway), since I can't imagine utf8-encoded text going obselete to the point where no programs exist that can read in the foreseeable future.

> Facial recognition software can only recognize you if your face is already in the database and identified as you.

Right, which is exactly what would happen if law enforcement/governments could access FB's database.

Your real problem isn't the data format, it's the host machine - you need to be sure that the computer where your files live is still around/working in 30 years. Either make frequent backups to multiple machines, or choose a cloud provider that will be around for a while, e.g. AWS or similar (and even then, still do frequent backups to other machines).

The data format you choose should depend on the relationships present in the data. If there are relational connections between data points (e.g. data1 HAS A data2, data3 HAS MANY data4s), then SQLite is a fine choice. If all you want to do is keep the data around, there is nothing wrong with text files - perhaps the directory structure could represent the organizational structure you require.

That's true. An alternative could simply be hosting on multiple platforms - at least that way you'll have a backup plan if a service deletes your content.
