This would be pretty interesting.

A simple HTML app packaged via Phonegap for mobile. Server uses Google sign-in and rejects any sign-in apart from mine. Has a URL to generate an OTP token that allows connecting a mobile second in next 60 seconds. Once connected saves the device token in a free-mLabs DB (encrypted). Similarly, generate a webhooks URL for each service and wire. Hosted for free on Heroku!

A simple server to send notifications to my phone, and an app to view/receive. Now setting up alerts anywhere is super easy.

Agreed. Not every Russian wants a war, it's the mad helm at the top ruling for 20+ years who need a war for their own survival. Stopping .ru domain has direct impact on common Russian people. Instead, we need to cut off Russian propaganda sites or for that matter any site that spreads disinformation like anti-vax.

I had a similar issue but with an i9/16GB RAM/SSD. Teams would open really slow, hang a lot and the best, drop off meetings in between as soon as I activated other applications. I use Slack/Outlook a lot and this aggravated the problem. Solution was to upgrade to latest Macbook with 32GB RAM. It now runs though I still have issues - just the audio goes out between meetings. I was lucky to have the work laptop upgraded.

In short, Teams is crap. My daughter uses Google Meet at school and its so fast/fun/easy on an old 8GB laptop.

Naturally, I took down my project right away...

Did your internship had any no-conflict, no-compete clause for any future assignments? Or are you infringing on any patent?

If not, there is no need to succumb to this bullying.

> basically spreading some of that knowledge you gave them and making it packaged and accessible not only to future contributors of their project, but to all competitors and genuine copycats out there

With this reasoning anyone at Amazon cannot join another ecommerce, or anyone at Microsoft OS cannot join Apple, or anyone in iPhone team cannot join Android.

If you are worried that your product is at the mercy of people not talking about it, or experimenting with the knowledge in future, then thats the least of your worries. The product, the team and the company is in a deep mess.

Good to see Microsoft competing with Apple. Teams already kills an i9 octa-core 32GB Macbook ensuring fans max out, this will ensure they can kill the next MBP launching soon.

I love this idea. Will keep in mind the next time I happen to draft the release notes.

Outrun's readme and your comment makes me learn a new thing today: to document how things work in my own projects.

Leave broadband, the mobile data rates and caps are exorbitant in US-CA. Back in 2016 I was paying $5.5 for 10GB 4G data in Delhi, and in US its like $10 per GB.

A friend of mine intends to launch an API and probably charge per request. They don't have bandwidth to build everything on their own and thus looking for an OOTB solution.

Got it. So it sources data from a whitelisted set of sites and updates every hour. If the curated list can scratch my itch, I would love to come back.

You mention you used some sort of NLP (mention of nltk before) - is it for summaries or reducing noise, or for bringing context to search terms.

Will try it again tomorrow. I could not find any information on site as to what will make this search engine different from what we already have?

Also, the corpus is now 3162, roughly 250 links in last 2 hours - which is way too slow for a real world scenario. I though like the page for its simplicity and the experiment.

Simple search (non-cached) like "hello world" or "i love you" throw a bad gateway. It took 10+ seconds for "hello world" when it worked.

For my name "sandeep" it threw 0 results, however a fine line says 2870 URLs in Index. I assume 2870 is not the entire corpus of the index - if yes, then search is extremely slow.

I am usually keen to try new tools. However, with the limit of 250 active issues and hassles to archive old ones, not many open source projects will be able to use it. On the other hand, I can't recommend it in my BU/company unless I have evaluated it for full extent.

Consider, providing a free-tier for open source projects.

I agree - my friends have left as well. Visits on holidays is the next best thing.

Did you move out of bay area completely, or to a place more affordable. Am in cupertino and been thinking should I move or not?

Am in the wait queue for 10+ years. Came on L1 and moving to H1. Can't create a startup due to legal challenges around visa (have idea and funding) - hope something will be worked out.

I fail to understand how an empty DIV can break a state-of-the-art video acceleration. Why not add another check to remove such empty HTML tags before hand.

Also, what can explain Edge failing to load Azure dashboard - was that a Google bug too? Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zMbfvEHlTU

I have never/ever installed Messenger on phone, yet all calls/texts are in FB. Either they are copying it from WhatsApp servers, or stealing using FB app, not sure.

They have multiple layouts that they support - I prefer the normal list layout that shows the title and snippet.

I just published a command-line tool for the same: https://github.com/sangupta/digg-reader-dump

The ones I use MultiPLX (multiplx.com, for everything), InoReader (inoreader.com, for mailing lists).

Hi - thanks. The notes are on the design considerations of CDN app, I have no plans for writing a new CDN app :)

I 100% agree that the warning is displayed. But can't we not make that a bit more user-centric - to say, "You are going to remove all your files from your disk. This is IRREVERSIBLE."

Would that not be a better info/warning message to a user?

And if many IDEs delete files permanently, why can't VSCode start to do what's the right thing - move it to Trash/Recycle Bin.

Many startups (like Slack) didn't copy what all did, they did the right thing.

The victim is not at fault.

1. On Windows, the standard mechanism to delete files it to move/ to 'Recycle Bin' - why did the IDE override the functionality?

2. In git, this action is equivalent to 'git checkout' that will show you a message to stash. In earlier versions of git, where message to git stash are not shown, the files are not deleted from disk.

The problem highlighted here is a genuine one, the IDE MUST and MUST show warning before such destructive operations.

I ran some performance tests and added a basic caching layer on reflection - that improved it by around 50% in the very basic of tests. You may look at the results in README at https://github.com/sangupta/gather repo.
