I found that it was all Indian IPs and blocked half of country at firewall level. All was well. I could go to sleep. But then suddenly someone messaged me and said why don't I let him use WhatsApp. Then 100 users started messaging me. Then 1000s. My Facebook was blowing up. I was now thinking I was under the most sophisticated attack ever on a personal level.

So instead of banning the entire country via firewall or a "fatal error" message I created this message and asked users to follow @browserling and tweet messages about it. TAIWAN NUMBER ONE! COMPETITORS NUMBER NINE!

It turns out users in India can't easily make online USD purchases with credit or debit cards as it requires a special bank permission.

I got to work and over last two weeks I built a "WhatsApp over Browserling for India in an old browser on a $20 Jio Phone".

While I was working on Indian version, the word spread to Cameroon and Nigeria where people also use cheap phones that can't run Whatsapp or other software, because government blocked access to Facebook, Twitter and other websites.

Rough.js is a light weight (~8k), Canvas based library that lets you draw in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style. The library defines primitives to draw lines, curves, arcs, polygons, circles, and ellipses. It also supports drawing SVG paths.

The problem, as I discovered at promotion time, was that none of this was quantifiable. I couldn’t prove that anything I did had a positive impact

For example, my team was receiving tons of distracting email alerts due to false alarms. Old me would have just fixed these alerts. But now I knew that for this work to appear in my promo packet, I should first set up metrics so that we’d have historical records of alert frequency. At promotion time, I’d have an impressive-looking graph of the alerts trending downward.

I adopted a new strategy. Before starting any task, I asked myself whether it would help my case for promotion. If the answer was no, I didn’t do it.

The TDLR: is a bill written under the guise of stopping sex trafficking, has stripped away the protection of section 230 of the Communications act of 1934 which means companies that run web services will soon be responsible for the actions of their users, even if they are unaware of them, to the point of criminal charges that could result in up to 25 years in prison.

the rapid growth vastly outpaced immediate demand and overwhelmed Chinese cities, where infrastructure and regulations were not prepared to handle a sudden flood of millions of shared bicycles.

Wow

allows to parse sentences written in natural language and extracts structured information.

manage groups of collaborators and associate each private repo with one of those groups + enable all of your contributors to manage who is and isn't a collaborator.

Example of project combining:

• Github API usage & its AWS SNS integration
• AWS Lambda written in Python

Button Men is a dice game for two players invented by James Ernest of Cheapass Games and first released in 1999.

Games are short, typically taking less than ten minutes to play. Each player is represented by a playing card of their choice, bearing the name and illustration of the combatant ("Button Man" or "fighter") assumed by the player. Each button indicates the quantity and maximum value (and abilities if any) of the player's dice.

This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets.

Les éditeurs « classiques » [d'articles scientifiques] ont auss réagi par rapport au libre accès. Toutes sortes « d’exceptions » ont été mises en place. Par exemple pour la revue Artificial Intelligence In Medicine (édité par Elsevier) où j’ai publié :

1. les auteurs peuvent payer pour avoir leur article en libre accès (N. B. : hors de prix, mais certains projets de recherche, notamment européen, exigent que ce soit le cas) ;
2. un lien est fourni aux auteurs qui permet de télécharger gratuitement l’article pendant 50 jours, et ce lien peut être diffusé à volonté ;
3. après six mois d’embargo, une « version auteur » (même contenu que le vrai article, mais sans la mise en forme de l’éditeur) peut être mise à disposition librement sur des serveurs comme HAL (Hyper‐Archives en Ligne) ;
4. les auteurs ont le droit de mettre une « version auteur » sur leur site personnel dès la parution de l’article, sous licence Creative Commons Attribution Non‐Commercial No Derivatives ».
