Ditto with Ant Design (#14 on most popular projects) where most of their community is Chinese: https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues. Their UI framework is the most comprehensive I have seen.
I am sure english will remain the dominant language for a while but I wonder if it makes sense to start learning new (human) languages just to open up the number of communities you can learn from?
The author is obsessed with fitting things with a logistic function and drawing wild conclusions even when it directly contradicts itself.
You can't have the rate of publication be a logistic function and the cumulative publication be a logistic function. The derivative(i.e., rate) of the logistic function should be 0 at both tails which isn't S-shaped anymore.
All your bits will rot if your house burns down. You will need something cross region (maybe your whole city gets nuked) but then you'll be exposed to the internet again. Snail mail your drives I guess?
This is more complicated than I imagined so I am not sure the cost saving will still work out (factoring in development time and extra code maintenance cost).
I want to make sure that I understand the security aspect of this.
You can argue that the user can upload anything using the original api anyway. But in the original case you can do server-side validation before the upload is proxied. I am thinking stuff that are domain specific like only allowing videos that are 6 seconds long or something.
You can move the validation to the client but the client can be easily modified. An actual user might not do this but someone trying steal your storage space (for serving malware or something) might?
These signed urls also seem to expire based on time so you can potentially save the url and upload again later if you allow generous expiration. (again, not really something I see being a huge problem)
But I guess these aren't really serious issues compared to the cost savings. Am I missing other ways this can be exploited?
Making the company money is the not the only factor is it? Any engineer at google/facebook/etc are probabilistically making the company multiple millions per year too (terrible estimate from revenue divided by headcount). But probably only a handful of them would ever be able to demand the rate you charge because they are replaceable.
How do you make sure the company won't just take your advice and hire a guy to do this for 90k/yr instead of letting you work on it for three weeks?
I forgot where I heard this from but I thought the reason reddit didn't monetize well was because the users were either using adblock or were too tech savvy to click on ads?
I have been using reddit for probably a decade now but don't remember ever clicking an ad. OTOH I typically misclick on a few links before I get my download when visiting pirate sites even with adblock on.
> We’ve been big fans of the Postgres HyperLogLog extension for many years and are excited to be taking on responsibility to maintain HyperLogLog going forward.
Conceptually hyperloglog should be really simple (count leading zeroes) so I wasn't sure what there was to "maintain".
That reddit link was incredibly informative and worth reading. It finally explains why /r/bitcoin looks like such a meme-driven asylum. All the propaganda, censorship, astroturfing and fake news reminds me of how /r/The_Donald gained support.
Was totally expecting this to be a plug for firebase (google's realtime database) but it actually comes with a koa server using websockets. Seems to be built with redux under the hood. No fancy conflict resolution and does syncing by serializing entire app state and sending it to each client after each move.
I have many relatives who work in a nail salons with a mix of both northern/southern vietnamese. Northern vietnamese gets teased over liking dog meat and having an accent. But I don't think there's any actual hate and more of a cultural and language difference. Kind of how city folks don't get along with hillbillies/rednecks? They will still get together to talk shit about anyone not vietnamese.
> combine temporally adjacent frames for greater resolution
Even just combining multiple still photos to produce a higher resolution photo is itself a hard problem in the field of super-resolution imaging. Google has a consumer product for it (mostly for removing glare): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEyDt0DNjWU&feature=youtu.be....
