Well at least you have 1000s of tutorials. Even if the way they are doing it is bad or misguided it get's you on the path.

How can you still be a strong advocate for the EU after this kind of shit gets passed? I do not understand how anyone can defend the EU when they continue to pass draconian laws in an undemocratic way.

The people of Japan is amazing, they never seize to amaze me.

Yes I agree with you that sadly this is the way people do stuff today. An allegation is more important than truth it seems sometimes.

That said, we must protect people that are having their information leaked with a nefarious intent. In Sweden for example, you can take this information find out their addresses and social security numbers since all of this is basically public information.

Github and Medium simply don't want their platforms to be used to harass and stalk people, which is a real problem that anyone with experience can attest to.

Not really, but you will always have some latency. I've found that West Europe is often better than "North Europe" (Ireland).

It's funny because I do not define Ireland as a part of "North europe" :P

Sure you may do that, but you don't have to be arrogant and unfriendly while you are nitpicking or questioning stuff.

So if I get this correct; this person wrote a program to gather information about individuals that may or may not be responsible for things related to the government agency and published that list with the intent that people who are angry about that should do what exactly? Contact them? Threat them? Stalk them? I see no other possible outcome of this action.

Either you:

1. Don't care

2. Use this information in a bad way, like harassing or stalking the individuals that are doing their job (I'm assuming).

I don't understand people who do this kind of things and also expect support and sympathy. You have none from me at least. It is great that Medium and Github removes such databases to protect individuals that probably are innocent.

This is so stupid. It doesn't say "free software" the page say "free" like zero cost.

This person obviously just want something to be angry at, which is typical for free software advocates. Instead of complaining that other people do not adhere to what you believe, go create it yourself. You do not own the word and if you're so for freedom, why are you so against others not making the same priorities?

It makes so little sense to me.

As a Swede, this is good news. I just wish Azure also would create a new region in the nordics.

Vice was once a company that made very interesting documentaries and pieces that no one else did. Today, they seem to be a gang of social justice warriors that is completely out of touch with reality.

Too bad because I used to love Vice documentaries and now I can't stand them at all.

I am Swedish and have started to use cash as my primary way of spending money. By doing so, I've found that I am more reluctant to purchase expensive items and that it also will lower shops tracking ability.

I really hate the new standard of cashless. It's so stupid and a lot of people are defending it without realizing potential consequences this can have.

If a store doesn't provide an ability to pay with cash, then I am most likely not going to purchase anything from that store.

Since I started programming, I have always used MySQL because honestly I think it is the best DB I have used because it has great software support and usability.

I have tried Postgres and while I have no issues with it, I usually go with MySQL if I have a choice because I see no real reason to switch out something I know and like.

Is there any real reason for a person like me to use postgres or another alternative instead of MySQL?

> Regulations that tightly restrict or absolutely prohibit loot boxes will definitely hurt the gaming industry and will hurt, perhaps even fatally, games I love.

Maybe actually charge for the game that companies used to?

I hate free 2 play games because I am a whale and I know it. When I get hooked I can easily pay hundres of dollars of digital shit. Much more than I would ever have if I had just purchased the game.

Fuck loot boxes and fuck companies trying to defend the practice.

If gender doesn't matter, why is it a good thing to see more of a specific one?

Really great move by Microsoft. People often worry for things like IE support but people with disabilities often falls between the chairs.

I agree completely, altough there will always be people like me who think if we manage to complete an AI more capable than a human we should release it without limits.

From a nordic european perspective the very idea of privitized jail is a bit too much. Like, really?

This article makes me think about and why I will never leave the north: http://www.businessinsider.com/an-american-warden-visited-a-...

I work 100% from home. Altough I also feel a bit of isolation I kind of enjoy it most of the time and otherwise the benefits easily outweighs the negative stuff like isolation. But that is of course just me, there is no need to force people to work from home (unless the company do not have an office) but the issue is that most companies won't let you even if you want to.

I like that he offers solutions but honestly, more people are vision impaired than have javascript disabled so instead of doing all that work instead put it first on helping people with disabilities.

> There is a danger that more and more sites will require JavaScript to render any content at all. What danger, exactly? While some sites that don't require a lot of js is nice you will soon notice that many sites you want js on. Music streaming services is one example.

I build api based sites nowdays because of mainly two reasons:

1. They feel more rapid after initial load and gives the user a better experience.

2. You can use the same api for web and mobile experiences.

I personally think that WebAssembly is the future so the web will finally just be another compilation target and I can't wait for it to be wide spread.

Finally, Microsoft! I have always felt weird about Microsoft prioritizing Python before their own language. Not that I do a lot of ML, but I plan to maybe use it for some projects in the future and then it would feel nice to have an official .NET package for it.

Paywall. Altough I am from Sweden and I already know why. Here is a free version: https://www.thelocal.se/20180504/no-nobel-literature-prize-i...

Per capita, I'm pretty sure Sweden has a higher output.

It should show where it thinks I am.

I have worked with the Django some, but not a lot, but I always find the admin site a bit frustrating and hard to configure and style. Maybe it's just my lack of knowledge and experience about Django, but it often times seems faster to generate a crud admin interface in many other frameworks like asp.net.

Otherwise I am a big fan of Django, I think it is possibly the best web dev framework out there even if I work in asp.net for most of the time.

Enrolled, but I doubt I will learn that much more than just using their cognitive services which seems cool and all, but that is not really doing AI yourself. Is it?

Why lol?

Personally I think the ideas you have when you are 20 and the ideas you have when you are 40 are probably going to differ a lot. Since starting a business is about doing something in the real world that is going to make money I am not surprised to see that there is more older entrepreneurs than one might expect.

The ideas you have when you are 20 are often more idealist and not necessarily connected to reality as much as the ideas of a 40-year-old. This is coming from a guy that has some years to go before 30.

Interesting tool.

I would maybe use this tool if it had some kind of api. I want to be able to have my bot post financial data to my account in HoneyMoney automatically, is this possible?

I haven't found any info regarding this. If someone with an account know of such an api I would sign up.

Have you tried Powershell?

Sounds like youtube.
