Are there any known issues with it? I just updated on my Mac and don't appear to be able to group tabs - dragging one on top of another just reorders them
For some context, I'm using sites like https://www.theverge.com/ and https://www.wired.com/ for more general browsing. Wired had a UK domain with some different content, but that appears to have ceased operation and now the .co.uk domain redirects to the general .com
There are people on HN (or probably other sites, maybe Reddit?) who will invite "strangers", but typically we want to have some idea what the person is like, as an invite creates a permanent link (on the site) between the inviter and the invitee.
If the invitee turns out to be a spammer, or posts a bunch of hate speech etc, the inviter may be held responsible for the invitee's actions. This isn't a hypothetical, it's explicitly explained in on the invite form, and I've seen cases where people were banned because they invited people who then acted spammy.
Yea I understand the reasoning, but my general apathy prevented me from going that route - it was a "do I care enough about <topic> to go throuugh finding someone and convincing them to vouch for me?" type thing, and the few times I've wanted to comment, I've just given up.
I'm not against the invite-only system, having been a forum moderator for several years, but I'm happy to just be a consumer/observer of the conversation rather than a participant.
This article is from 2018, and contains a single update from 2020. I would think the terrain has shifted in the last 3 years, so take the article with an appropriate pinch of salt.
Isn't it somewhat hilarious that the author of Adblock Plus, far and away the largest privacy risk faced by anyone, throws this much shade on Google's privacy protections? ABP gets unfettered, full and complete access to all your data no matter how sensitive and only the publisher's OpSec stands between the user and total exposure.
Every ad blocker gets full and complete access to all your data. It needs that kind of access in order to … tada … remove ads. It’s really simple: ads are on all websites, so an ad blocker needs access to all websites.
You probably mean that Adblock Plus abuses this access? Surely this is something you have proof for? Here you can see an example of how this kind of thing looks like: https://palant.info/2023/06/05/introducing-pcvark-and-their-.... You can look around in my blog, there is more.
It has been a while since I’ve been involved with Adblock Plus. I sincerely doubt however that ABP’s privacy stance changed that much since I’ve left. But I’ll wait for you to find proof for your claims.
Funny thing is: declarative access to websites still allows for plenty of mischief if one wanted to do it. I’ve actually seen malicious extensions abuse that. Browsers might have to revisit the decision to ignore declarative access as far as the permission prompt goes.
I'm not sure I see the humor? Also not sure how Adblock Plus is far and away the largest privacy risk for anyone?
I'm sympathetic to wanting to limit data access to things. But this data seems to already be available to the browser? Having a separate process to manage that seems somewhat natural?
Google is already in possession and presently selling information on you. Adblockers like basically every piece of poorly segregated software on your system is in a position to compromise your privacy. Both are concerns but one does appear more immediate.
I was really interested in this as an easy way to help people get to grips with the intricacies of Pandas and working with dataframes, but after looking over the source code that's published on Pypi I don't think I can ever recommend this package to anyone due to the degree of tracking that's present in the code.
There's no mention of the Segment tracking in the docs, and I don't see anyway for the user to opt out of it, which I think is an immediate GDPR issue.
Given that you are logging metadata about the dataframes in use along with the user email and name of the logged in user, I can't see this ever being used in an environment where sensitive data is being processed, since it could potentially leak PII that's easily tied to a given company via the email address.
This is a great idea, and I think if you can go with the BSD license and provide a way for people to opt out of tracking (or ideally flip it and allow them to opt in) this could be used in any number of industries. As it stands currently I just don't think this will ever pass a data audit at any large company which is a real shame.
Thanks for that callout. We appreciate the perspective and will work on adding more disclosures of where logging does occur, making it easier for the user to opt out, and review what we are logging and how we can reduce it. I think your analysis is correct, but as a summary: we log the email provided by the user when they first create a mitosheet, the size of the dataframe, the header names of the dataframe, and then the interactions with the UI.
For our current users who have told us that they are not comfortable with logging, we have been able to turn off logging for their specific accounts. So if you're interested in continuing to checkout the tool while we make those improvements, just let us know.
I'm part of the dot big bang team and just want to note that we're absolutely a platform.
Our aim is to be a place where people can play games but also one where anyone can make games. We're in the process of unlocking the first stage for the gameplay side of that by releasing our TypeScript based scripting API soon.
Particubes looks great too and it's cool to see so many companies popping up in this space.
It’s not too much work to make it work with wasm, adding web browser support.
The app is very small (~30MB), it’s definitely something we want to do in the future.
But Linux will be supported before that.
Game servers and our CI already run on Linux.
Really nice! I often copy and paste recipes into text files I have locally so this is a great alternative.
One feature request (if I may be so bold): it would be great to offer an imperial<->metric convertor. This is predominantly one of the reasons I keep copies of recipes I find and use.
It's really the conversion to weight (grams, from cups/tbsp/tsp/hogsheads) that would be valuable. It's just so much easier to clean to stick a scale under the mixing bowl.
