I worked for an online casino for a few months. Our first major meeting was a brainstorming session to take advantage of the gaming fad to get those kids into betting.
Didn't he just publish documents obtained by others (albeit illegally)?
It's annoying that pretty much every single Google project comes with an underlying attempt at vendor lock-in.

Interesting how I did not notice any issues with the library until I came to the comments and there were several mentions of implicit racism. There is some projection going on here.
Upon reviewing the site again, there are some lighter skin tones that I would identify with as a pale white man, if I really cared.
It's less safe than email + password. Someone can break into your email with email + password, or you can forget it logged in and they have your Notion automatically, so it has the same problems email + password have, plus some more.
Cool tool, btw your post seems to have been killed instantly by HN's server, I vouched it but it might have been too late
The post is literally responding line by line to a post from 5 years ago. Very poorly thought out article.
Some time ago ArsTechnica did a (very upsetting) article with an overview of all these antitrust practices. Glad to hear something was done about it.

From what I've seen, these were all down: Spotify, Twitch, Discord, Snapchat, Pivotal Tracker, Workana, Codementor
It would still take suspiciously long to upload/encode
Google took the same approach with Android, releasing non-OSS versions of their OSS apps, and not updating the OSS ones anymore.

I tried it out, very interesting. I've seen a lot of services like that, it would seem weird if none of them is self-hosted like yours.
You know what, I say taking the "trillions of dollars of damage annually" will be better in the long-term than making our seashores prisoners to the sea.
If you value your sanity, stay away from the comments
Whoops, I think it was a bad CloudFlare setting. Should be working now, hopefully.
Most of the data on there is not meant to be public. It's just a tool to abuse people's ignorance, disguised as a "research tool".
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, other than some pedantic point about the title.
Does anybody really not know that X was originally goto?
The original "goto considered harmful" paper was very much tongue-in-cheek.
Good. Now perhaps make a study about sensationalized article titles like this one. The conclusion in the title is inaccurate.
FTA: "Overall, Simons and his colleagues conclude that the evidence [...] is “inadequate”."
and
"it’s possible future research will provide new evidence that is more favourable to brain training"
$100 equals 40 hours of work in a blue-collar job down here in Argentina. It's probably even worse elsewhere.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE ONLY - based in Argentina
I am a web developer with over 15 years of experience, and always looking for interesting projects to work on: small, medium or large.
You might have seen my post "How to reduce the cognitive load of your code" at the top of Hacker News recently. I have a passion for learning and writing about technology, particularly software architecture, design patterns and on staying up to date on the most modern ideas in software development, programming languages and security. Visit my website at http://chrismm.com to read some of my articles.
Languages and technologies:
* PHP 5.4, with official Zend certification
* MySQL database design, query and server optimization
* NoSQL experience using MongoDB and Redis
* AngularJS development and JS build tools (babel, bower)
* jQuery and jQuery UI, form validation, AJAX
* Java backend with Maven and Hibernate/Mockito
* Apache configuration and optimization
* Some Ruby, Bash, Python and Perl shell scripting
* My website: http://chrismm.com/contact
* Twitter: https://twitter.com/christianmaioli
* GitHub: https://github.com/innerspirit (mostly private repos)
* E-mail: mmchristian[at]gmail(dot)comhttp://up-for-grabs.net/ attempts to make contributing easier for new developers but it still falls flat IMO, there are few really bite-sized issues you can tackle and even those are going to require you to read a lot of project code and discussion to figure them out.
I believe sites like http://up-for-grabs.net/ and https://openhatch.org/ are the kind of communities that we need more of.
There is an attitude where people create projects to feed their egos, and giving help on existing projects doesn't seem to fulfil egos so much. Unfortunately, marketing your project is necessary, and for now the only idea I can give you is that we need to build tools to make that job easier.
Author here. Thanks for the input.
I think in some cases it can't be argued that a change is only going to be an improvement, such as in the case of npm lacking proper caching of packages until very recently.
In the case of package managers, there are a multitude of them and it's up to the user to figure out which ones have which features, and then go and learn how to use them. It can be time consuming, and I believe it's more important to improve this part of the user experience than to make it easier for people to share their own packages.

You really better have a high end PC if you're gonna spend $500 on a gadget for it, though.
