Hopping onto the original comment - I am building an video creation platform focused on providing accessible education to the masses in developing countries. Would love to integrate something like this into our platform. Would love to pay for an API access and so will so many others. Please consider opening API, you would make lot of money right now which can be used for your future plans.

I usually just use `npx http-server` which gives a server that supports concurrent streams for faster downloads over the python server(which I use on devices where python is present and node isn't). I often use it transfer file over wifi from a device to other.

Plugging in a book aimed at developers for design - refactoring ui, which is also written by the tailwind author to help developers approach design easily. Highly recommended book.

Number of cases in UP is highly unreliable, as the current State government is known to be obsessed with maintaining its image and for causing problems for anyone who raises voice against it. It didn't even spare people asking for SOS on twitter - https://scroll.in/latest/993484/up-fir-filed-against-man-who...

It is also the state, where the police recently took an oxygen cylinder from a patient for someone who was politically connected [Police wouldn't have done anything this severe, unless they were forced to do the same] (https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/twitter-furious-over-c...)

you really want to say that holding elections and kumbh didn't make the existing problem worst. As soon as the information of the new strain was received, a ban on international travel and increased restrictions should have ideally gotten things under control or just do anything about it. Instead we have the prime minister, instead of listening to the experts, declared victory over covid(yes this actually happened, twice) and went to campaign holding huge rallies(also boasted about the numbers on the twitter) with no covid protocol adherence[People in Political rallies in India are actually brought from the neighboring states, and are paid daily wages and it was done during the pandemic as well during the Bengal Elections as well & they must have also taken the virus back as well].

Anyways these aren't the only blunders the modi government has done, you can find a whole lot of information on the thoroughly incompetent supreme leader and his blunders with a single click quite easily. In case you belong to his fan-club, you would find every other media house(except the ones actually owned by the prominent right wingers) to be sold. (Anyone reading from US- Modi fan club members are very similar to the Trump Fan Club members and behave in the same manner as well)

Cases are exploding in Bangalore, because the city also had taken the restrictions lightly. I live in Bengaluru, and used to see good amount of traffic on the roads till the day lockdown was announced. A number of super spreader events in closed spaces such as colleges, marriages, cinemas where covid protocols weren't followed properly is also the reason mixed with the higher rate of spread of the new strain. This could have also been prevented for Bengaluru as well, if only the central government had taken some preventive action against the new information received. Instead we all know, what it chose to do.

Do you really buy into the excuse that somehow election rallies and kumbh did not increase the severity of the problem at hand ? Its Standard whataboutery spewed constantly by the ruling party. They just don't even want to own up to their mistakes and the PM is staying silent as he is expecting everyone to forget and move on to the next hot topic. The Central Government allocated covid related very critical projects(Oxygen Plants) to companies that are now untraceable. The Projects itself were floated in Oct(7 months into the pandemic) so they took actually a lot of time to do the job so poorly that we don't have any special infrastructure ready. I mean if the Prime Minister is campaigning til the very day, the Election commission had to put a ban on it due to the exact reason. BJP is a power hungry party and they involve in open candidate buying in a lot of states post elections(The situation is so bad that the opposition parties actually have to camp with all of the leaders in a secluded resort to prevent any kind of horse-trading to happen). Modi government will never accept their mistakes, which we have already seen with demonetization(another useless idea of the current government, which had already broken's India's back financially), or jobs or various other front the current government is failing on.

Kindly understand this article seems to come out of investigative journalism where the author seemed to have gotten hold of the patch presumably by paying 2500 and then did in-person research to create the article. Once published, other newsrooms usually do their own pieces if they find it relevant. Since this article has just been published (only 2 hours ago at the time of writing this comment), I wouldn't refute the article just on the basis of this criteria. I would usually wait for 1-2 days before using the above criterion to evaluate the article.

Actually, the records are already public, remember the fiasco where Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s Chairman RS Sharma had posted his Aadhar number online. The whole point of the Aadhar Challenge was to demonstrate leaked database/Aadhar number is not an issue. Apart from the curated datasets that can be bought even on Facebook groups, it is actually very easy to mine large datasets from Google itself.

Excellent points, I think the whole point of SCRUM planning is to get estimations correctly and it is not as easy reading few articles on it. Hence involving a scrum-master is highly recommended who is usually a person like mikekchar who has done it multiple times atleast.

My hunch is probably there will be 2 versions maintained separately like visual studio and vs code. The version built in javascript will probably be free for personal usage, can have lesser features and probably fight for marketshare against google drive, libreoffice etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they even keep the source open. PR and market wise, this would be a great move.

I joined Aftership.com last year as remote employee, they have a vibrant engineering culture and they have very convenient remote friendly environment.

I think significant efforts are required from the team & company to make remote jobs possible and convenient, so its important to find a company that have remote-friendly workflow.

In case, anyone here is looking an interesting node.js remote experience, can email me.

How to solve the issues above: Just listen to 'ondrop' event on body and store the path of the file and call event.preventDefault() to prevent the file loading. Now I think all of your issues are solved:

1: You can now filter the extensions as per your requirements

2: Now you can load the file separately and verify the content as per your satisfaction using the fs module available in electron

3: You can use: ondragover and ondragend events to facilitate ui feedback

4: Not sure what you mean by file drag, but I cannot think of anything that cannot be implemented here.

5: Not sure what do you want here.

6: Not inbuilt but can be built easily.

Editors like atom and vscode have very good file-drop functionality and have image viewer apart from many other goodies. Depending on your familiarity with js, these things are more or less trivial to implement. Github team must have a different feature-set in mind that unfortunately didn't had drag and drop functionality for their first release. If anyone really wants the feature, the better way is to leave a feedback in app or open a issue (not sure if either exists).

Glad I found this blog. I am trying to build analytics engine for offline world and have chosen post-gres as my storage layer. These posts are invaluable and simply awesome. Thanks for sharing!!

News of the day for me. Been a satisfied Digital Ocean Customer for over 2-3 years now. Cheaper services have emerged but the awesome customer service has kept me hooked.

Well this just tells the npm client to download the modules from official registry which is "https://registry.npmjs.org". Extra info: If you want even faster downloads within an organization(or wherever recurring npm install might occur), I would recommend setting up a local lazy mirror. PS: I maintain one such lazy npm mirror app-https://github.com/bhanuc/alphonso . It only stores the modules that has been requested and makes subsequent installs much faster.
