https://hackmd.io might fit the bill. I use it for some open source projects I work on, but don't really touch the advanced features.

Rustacean Station had a great podcast episode with Quentin Ochem from AdaCore and Florian Gilcher from Ferrous Systems. They do a great job explaining what "safety-critical" means and the work that goes into validating software for such applications. I work in a slightly-less regulated field (medical devices) and found the discussion really interesting.

Stewart Butterfield discussed this when he was on "How I Built This"

Various intranet pages at my company "work" in IE6/7 or whatever and nobody seems to be rushing to fix them. That kind of sucks, though.

Regarding the RIAA one: I find it interesting how similar the streaming services are to the system of Voluntary Collective Licensing advocated by the EFF starting in 2003 [0].

Video content is moving in another direction with more walled gardens supported by original content. Maybe it's because of the costs required to produce quality content, or the size of the total library. Maybe it has something to do with how we watch video vs. listen to music (i.e. I may listen to a song or album 100x, but rarely watch any movie even twice).

I'm also a different person, but I have found tremendous utility in Moosewood Restaurant Favorites. It's vegetarian, but a lot of recipes are vegan. My wife and I are low-meat omnivores (she additionally avoids dairy) and we cook from this book several times a week.

I also had a failed interview with Triplebyte that left a bad taste in my mouth. I experienced similarly condescending tones and disrespect from the interviewer. I was told to prepare and share/explain code I'd already written, but when the call started I was instead given three problem options for a live-coding session.

To be fair, they were super friendly and responsive to my critique, and I found their interview notes/follow-up helpful and accurate. Still, if you're going to provide interviews as a service, you should work hard to make the interview a positive experience for the candidate. I'm loath to apply to any company using Triplebyte for now, but I'd probably do it if I really wanted the job.

It was also 98°F that day in San Tan, for reference.

The photo shows four women, but the article states that "Facebook has a team of more than a dozen engineers and researchers dedicated to the project."

Stitcher does more than that. They actually re-host and (I believe, from the difference in audio quality) re-compress the files.

That's addressed in the article. Direct marketing with offer codes or special URLs is only applicable to certain products. Brand (awareness) advertising is where the real money comes from.

I am a currently a Research Assistant Professor in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. I'm moving to Sacramento soon, and looking for work in medical imaging research or leaving the field to work in tech more generally (e.g. as a data scientist). I'm a fast learner with a broad range of interests. I have specific skills in scientific programming (I prefer Python, and have plenty of MATLAB experience) with domain knowledge in image processing. I enjoy programming and consider it a hobby in addition to my work.

  Location: (soon to be) Sacramento, CA
  Remote: Yes.
  Willing to relocate: No, but willing to travel to the SF Bay Area up to once a week, with occasional week-long trips.
  Technologies: Python, C, C++, MATLAB, Git / toy projects using Flask, Django / rusty experience in Java, OpenGL (C++)
  Github: https://github.com/aganders3
  Résumé/CV: Provided by request via email.

I think this is a service Strava offers, but for bicycles.

D'oh - I'm blushing. What I meant was that you do much awesome work on it. My apologies to the other important contributors!

In any case, thanks! I've read your book (Beginning Android Games) and used libgdx (though nothing finished or published) and enjoyed both!

LibGDX is made mostly by Mario Zechner, who also happens to work on/for RoboVM.

Thanks - much appreciated as a Safari user.

So you didn't make it down to:

BROOKE: Also, EVERYONE looks at Cosmo on Discover. If it’s funny, they share it.

There is a lot of pessimism about AWS in here. Does anyone have a link to a similar article from the roll-your-own perspective? I am comfortable writing small Python web apps (i.e. running on a single instance with SQL server on the same box), but scaling on my own is a mystery to me at this point.

The Backblaze iOS client is for access/retrieval, not for backing up files from the iOS device.

WARF (the designated rights holder for UW patents) gives an annual gift of ~$60M to the University, if I recall correctly.

Nanny software you installed yourself? In any case, NumPy is on GitHub now.

It use to seem like they made everything for the 90% and could care less for the last 10%.

This is an interesting take when looking historically at Apple's marketshare.

I don't know much about this, but I looked them up and it's interesting how well the two compare: https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXSP%3A.INX%2C+INDEXDJX%...

But you get to skip those few bites (potentially) very many times.

Not a big deal - again this looks great overall and I really like the concept. I will probably end up buying this.

This looks really clever and great.

I was confused at the end of the video, though. Why did the iTunes note come up when you switched back to the Ghostnote website?

To be fair, that's the cost to buy it. If you watch it with three friends you're saving money. Plus you can watch it again and again if that's your thing.

Movies have been ~$15-20 for a long time. I'd guess not much of that cost was physical media.

But it also included a substance that the report indicated could be of “even greater user” to our civilization, a substance which could revolutionize energy production.

They put this typo in quotes just to shame the (likely non-native English speaking) author? This kind of shit in pop-sci articles is getting pretty tired.

Truly terrifying: I had to read your comment four times before I could find the typo.
