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.

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 enjoy programming and consider it a hobby in addition to my work.

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.

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.
