How to know a person by David Brooks

Ah I should have been more specific. For some context, I learned software development on the job and later studied Human-Computer Interaction. I want to be at the intersection of software and design.

Software Engineering at Plenty involved a lot of creative problem solving. But I wanted to work on visually creative projects. Some of my initial projects at Plenty did involve interactive UIs, but as I gained better understanding of our stack, I was required to do a lot more back-end work which wasn’t very exciting to me.

I wanted to do more creative work, whereas the work at Plenty was more about problem solving.
Plenty (https://plenty.ag) is trying to scale hydroponics using plant science and automation. (I worked here till a few months ago.) Indoor agriculture is going to supplement our nutrition needs in the future. Plenty is focusing on flavor as its selling point, and after eating Plenty produce, everything else seems like eating cardboard.
I have used localtunnel over https for this: https://localtunnel.github.io/www/

Disclaimer: I am one of the developers that built this.

Try Frappe Framework (https://frappe.io). We have received feedback that it is really good to quickly build internal projects or prototypes.

Also ERPNext (https://ERPNext.com) is an open source erp that is feature rich and has a good UI. It can help any startup to manage their business without resorting to complicated excel sheets based management.

AFAIK Mozilla is trying to make https certificates free for everyone.

Edit: Here's the link: https://letsencrypt.org

Doesn't using HTTPS prevent such an injection?

Thanks. I didn't know this. I get that they need to monitor clicks for revenue, but mouse movements!

I am finding the new version to be snappier than usual. I like it. Now please make the developer tools as good as chrome's.

Have you looked at ERPNext? It is Open Source - http://github.com/webnotes/erpnext

Though it is an ERP, you can just use the accounting and sales modules and hide the rest.

Re:ElementaryOs Luna released on Monday August 12, 2013 @02:48AM (#6197987)
I've been using Elementary OS since beta 1 and I have found it to be the most usable Linux distribution. Don't get hanged up about them copying mac os. Even a novice user would find it easy to use. Let's not forget the soothing feel of the UI. It feels light.

Even android has some parts copied from ios, and yet you don't want to complain about it because it lets you get similar experience within your budget. It gives you a likeable option, copy or not.

Just give it a try. Don't judge from the video alone.

I was wondering who is going to make this first. Salute to you :D

Re:Apple's New Pinch-To-Zoom Monopoly is Bad News on Tuesday August 28, 2012 @01:29PM (#4444850)
Has anyone used Aldiko ebook reader on android? It uses the right edge of the mobile's screen to change its brightness. With your thumb, trace the right edge towards the top and brightness increases, down and it decreases. I wonder if something similar could be used for zooming. You don't need two fingers to zoom!

We have been using termcolor for getting formatted output. This seems much more powerful and intuitive.
