A keen observer of changes that can also relay change events reliably to interested parties. Provides useful infrastructure for building eventually consistent data sources and systems.
It currently has support to listen events from mysql events (from binlog), hbase events, transform & relay them to mysql, hbase, elasticsearch.
Isn't this entire discussion a false dichotomy? It seems from this thread the only two options for everyone is to donate to things that Gates does vs. things that Musk does.
The same thing happened when India launched its Mars mission, with people saying they should take care of their poverty first. But, the discussion around that time on HN was in favor of India exploring space.
Is there an extension/app for HN that categorizes the posts into topics (based on some text analysis) & enables the user to filter them out from the feed? Feature akin to what lobste.rs provides.
This will basically enable me to filter out fluff stories that manage to rise up.
I saw a comment on HN sometime back and can't seem to find it now, but thought it had some merit. The gist of it was that enabling posts from mobile might lead to lower content quality as typing on phones is tougher and we tend to focus on a quick reply rather than a thought out discussion.
I personally use http://hn.premii.com on mobile & it has a good reading experience.
Currently, there are a few sites that enable users to save their cards for future transactions. But, these saved cards can be used to only pay on the particular merchant site.
With PayZippy, you can save your cards once and use it across multiple stores including biggies (in India) like Flipkart, MakeMyTrip, BlueStone, etc.
Also, from his write up, it was serious lack of security on the results website.
More importantly, the focus from his write up should be less on the getting the data of the results, rather on the data itself. He goes on plot the scores vs frequency for all the courses taken up students and discovers a good case of tampering with the scores.
But, having an extension like Stylebot installed and using a tiny custom CSS does offer an advantage - the CSS applies across the domain and takes effect every time the page is loaded.
Adding a few lines of css (setting body width, font-size to 16, line-height to 1.4, Georgia for font and larger font size for headings ) makes for a decent reading experience.
This is incredible. I can only wonder in awe if something like this was implemented in online courses provided by say Udacity or Coursera. That would be a revolution in online education.
