I used to be a subscriber and would like to support the project, but the noticeable response latency is a problem for me (Spain). I’ve tried both my desktop PC and iPhone, and the result is the same unfortunately.

We had a problem where we need to index and make searchable a hundred of thousands of government pdf files, some are as old as 15 years ago.

Tried a bunch libraries and settled with Tika. Although we were a PHP/Node shop, nothing could be compared to the ease of using Tika for this exact purpose.

Hi, For people who want to do this but don't want to code anything, you can use https://www.engagespark.com/twilio-alternative/

* In this case you can do an SMS Poll asking who would like to come.

* If you want to do this a bit more personal, you could use an IVR Poll instead, so they'd hear your voice.

* You can even go further and build some logic, if they replied yes, then you ask them what food choice do they want, no need for interacting with google spreadsheet.

* You can view all this with some pretty graphs and download the spreadsheet with all the information that happened on the engagement.

* Or if you want fancier stuff, do the above, pass the results to Zapier, and manipulate them with any other apps linked into Zapier.

Era of Distraction 11 years ago

The first half of the article is a genuine problem. There's just so much distraction going on right now, I wonder how people are being productive.

I'm really looking forward to this book. Question, how do you deal with users outside of Linux host regarding shared folders. I'm using boot2docker, but it's painfully slow if my code base is large(10kloc).

I feel you on this, also coming from Django background, there is no equivalent yet for golang, though I've been skimming with revel for some time, it's still incomplete from what I want. This is just perfect opportunity to learn something that is more disconnected, but syncs with harmony. :)
