I was literally actually thinking of this just the other day. Alcohol now gives me intestinal liquidity, possibly a result of too many years of 3-4 beer a night. And I couldn't figure out how an entire populace raised on the stuff wouldn't have had larger issues with beer than with water. I was thinking there had to be something I was missing about what I was taught (and I was taught it in college).

The only thing on the planet Apple doesn't have enough money to buy is itself. We MAY be in a bubble, but this is in no way an indication of that.

Yea, that's about the worst advice to give a programmer/hacker. The "maybe I can try this" and "I wonder if I could do this" is the core of my world. I've been told by actual engineers that things I wanted to do were impossible, but I played, and did the impossible. Play with your code.

This is great, but if you use a password manager, it's very difficult to determine which, if any, of your accounts would be compromised. For myself, this would just be doing a dump and looping a few greps. But for family and friends, does anyone have any ideas for a less technical audience?

Why not, I'm talking about a construct that doesn't exist. A SQL literal string can be stored and auto parameterized prior to interpolation. You see the :int isn't the name, it's the parameter/type safeyness that any good dev would want.

I wouldn't call that better. I'd much rather have a self escaping sql literal, something like:

    var query = "select id, name from table where id = #{id:int}"

I don't have time to look, but when I signed up, I was given the option for a free trial and the option to spend $500+ depending on the package. I'll have to look closer, but I suspect this is xaraminesque.

That's pretty awesome, now if I can fins a decent terminal browser that supports javascript and vim keybindings and the equivalent of chromes devtools, I can spend all of my time in the terminal (save design of course, but that wouldn't even make any sense). It's probably unreasonable to think that I'll fin that, but I'll keep looking.

Marginalizing an entire group of people simply because it doesn't fit with your narrative isn't logical, it's ignorance.

These aren't even logical arguments. I've presented use cases where voice recognition may be the only feasible way to interact. Is a voice recognition server's security as secure as my banks? Seriously, I'm done arguing with someone who fails to rebut logical arguments and just doubles down on a fairly ignorant position.

Well, I frequently see the people mentioned above, especially the elderly needing help with their phones or email or online banking, and giving their passwords to a trusted family member thinking that they are the only ones listening. So yea, it happens, a LOT. And big companies like Samsung and Sony never get hacked, right? MITM never happen, that's jus fantasy, right?

I'm thinking it's quite handy for a quadriplegics, those with learning disabilities, children, elderly, arthritis sufferers, parkinson's sufferers, thalidomide sufferers, disable in general, etc... Just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean that it's not the number one feature in someone else's life.

I would recommend against this in Canada, as it's illegal.

I'll be honest, I'd be much more receptive to you doing a show hn over pimping the framework in the comments of every js post.

It's easy enough to release some rats, throw some feces into a pot when you're the hotel owner. These guys weren't playing ethically. They need to be outed.

edit: changed an autocorrected fences to feces which chrome for some reason doesn't think is a word.

Fair enough, but it's still a valid comparison for most of us looking. Is the $600 machine 'good enough' for my usage, and it looks like it will be.

We removed the last bits 3-4 weeks ago. We started with a pre-1.0, but all the headaches with that are on me, not Ember.

I will probably check it out again at a 2.0 or 3.0 release, I love the potential. But for now, it doesn't work for us.

Absolutely, you are 100% correct. I definitely misspoke.

I don't think anyone is missing the point at all. I fully understand what you're attempting to do because I tried to implement an Ember project only to have so many negatives pile up that it was actively working against our goals.

I really wanted to like Ember, but even with those issues aside, the two most common comments on out team about Ember were "Wait, why is that working?" and "I didn't change anything, why isn't it working now". Neither is something you should be hearing from your dev team.

You can do some pretty cool things pretty quickly, but there are more promises that resolves.

What is it with functional cheerleaders and their inflammatory language and cherry picked arbitrary criteria?
