But he couldn't run fast enough to escape, so probably no \s

Yes there is lots of evidence that jemalloc fares better in high concurrency applications.

Fun fact, jemalloc was the default allocator for rust but was dropped off and use default system allocator to have smaller binary size

I like the current approach with focus on plain file sync and sharing. Keep it up!

I typically self host with full disk encryption which I trust more than application level encryptions. Guessing that works for most self hosters

Thank you for working on this. As a long term user of Nextcloud, I appreciate alternatives. Nextcloud is a beast with a lot of features but most of the folks I know including me use it mostly for files so projects like these can be useful.

Most lightweight alternatives I found use some non standard format to store files instead of leaving it to the filesystem which keeps me away from using those. I am glad bewCloud is not doing that.

Think of it as a productivity hack - Less time spent switching apps means more time enjoying your distractions right where the real work happens: the terminal! :)

IPv6 is so expansive and seemingly endless that it reminds me of driving through the Midwest

Author claims it doesn't connect to internet even though it has full network access permission

Hi! Watomatic developer here. The newer version does access internet (Github API) for following reasons: - To show release notes in the app - (in works) To warn users about outdated versions. This is an issue esp in the non Google Play landscape. - (in works) To show recent contributors list in the About section ...

Having access to internet made lots of things easy so thought that was a pragmatic choice :)

Looks like a great book but was unable to download. Tried with more than one emails.

Edit: Looks like they programmed it to work only with Gmail and probably other mainstream email providers.

They may not remove FB but they may just stop accepting updates if Facebook does not comply

Hi HN!

I recently made this auto reply app for WhatsApp with a focus on moving away from it. Many are having a hard time convincing friends and family to move away from WhatsApp and I hope this tool helps with that.

It basically just auto replies to all WhatsApp messages with the message you set. Just enable it and set a message something like "Hey I am not using WhatsApp anymore. Please switch to Signal" and it takes care of the rest.

- Simple: Set the message and it auto replies to all WhatsApp messages - Option to Auto reply to group chats - Respects your privacy - No analytics or tracking - Does not connect to Internet - Free an open source (GPL)

Future improvements (just a couple weeks away): - Option to set reply frequency: For example users can set reply frequency to 1 day and it only replies once a day for each person/group. - Support for auto replying Facebook messenger

Please let me know what you think!

Wow this is super amazing (and little horrifying). Never knew SVG can contain Javascript. Always thought of it as just a little safe vector graphics markup.

Wow! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

I think you are confusing Wolfram Language (WL) with Wolfram Alpha (WA).

my MIT licensed open source project Resin [0] does pretty much of what WA does

Does it? Resin looks more like an NLP framework at a quick glance. WA is an actual answering engine with data included. I fail to see a comparison. Not to mention the website is down.

Items that has "No Visa" are also included when Visa is selected. This needs to be fixed. Otherwise, it is great. Thanks!

I have been replacing traditional apps with PWA's or mobile websites wherever possible (on Android). They hardly take up any space and also seem to behave well (drains less battery) compared to traditional apps.

I could replace the following with PWAs:

- Twitter

- Uber

- Lyft

- Google news

- Instagram

- Flipboard

- Shopping sites like Walmart, Wish

and many more.

Facebook and Amazon have no PWA's but have mobile websites. (Facebook mobile web works well with Opera. On other browsers it annoyingly redirects to play store to install messenger)

Here is another tool that identifies many other things http://imageidentify.com/

Web Browser: Firefox

Email Client: Thunderbird

Terminal: Terminator

IRC/Messaging Client: Pidgin, Thunderbird

PDF Reader: evince

Office Suite: LibreOffice

Calendar: Thunderbird

Video Player: VLC

Firefox developer edition allows using unsigned webextensions by toggling xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config

Yep, I agree. I personally like it being optional. Not end-to-end encrypted has an advantage of syncing messages to all other devices and use secret chats when privacy is more important than syncing.

Another feature I missed is ephemeral messages in secret chats: We can have messages automatically deleted after certain time (Although I wish the time settings are more fine grained).

I am using Telegram from over two years.

Pros:

- End to end encrypted secret chats

- Awesome bots and the bot platform

- Open protocol so we can implement third party clients. So is available on any new platform (Ubuntu phone, FirefoxOS, Linux, Command line, web,...).

- Recent improvements like end-to-end encrypted audio calling (Not sure if Whatsapp calls are encrypted)

- Many small features that make me happy like we can lock the app with password, customize interface, etc.

Cons:

- Not many users (On the contrary I like it as there is not much noise)

- No video calling

- There are some reports doubting their encryption

Good to see it is a PWA now. :)

Got it. I did'nt realize that.

Looks like someone at Google realized that Servo (Quantum) is coming

Ubuntu already has that. They call it HUD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD

Press Alt (as mentioned in other comment)

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Dismissable Notifications

- DESCRIPTION: I have been using Ubuntu from 10.04. One thing that makes be curse Ubuntu is when my notifications cannot be dismissed. I expected it at-least when it moved to Unity but that never happened. Although I have been living with it, this is something which catches me frequently.

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Software engineer and maker

+1 I recently had this issue. I have Ubuntu on my machine (not dual boot) and I installed with all the default options. I hardly installed any heavy applications and it started saying it cannot install updates as /boot is full. Thanks for bringing this up.

That is cool. Most of the sentiment analysis APIs I saw just give a -1 to +1 score based on positive or negative feeling but looks like Watson APIs are much more elaborate.

I work at Wolfram Research (The company that makes Mathematica and Wolfram alpha). Our company also supports and encourages employees to work on personal projects. We are also allowed to responsibly use (not draining bandwidth running games all night or run bitcoin miners) office resources for personal projects.

May also be worth looking at Wolfram open cloud: https://lab.open.wolframcloud.com/objects/wpl/GetStarted.nb

I was thinking exactly the same. This post just reminds me how easy it is with Mathematica
