New comment by mindprince in "Google proposes its Dataflow batch/stream tech to the Apache Incubator"

mindprince — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 00:45:05 +0000

> While Google has previously published papers describing some of its technologies, Google decided to take a different approach with Dataflow. Google open-sourced the SDK and model alongside commercialization of the idea and ahead of publishing papers on the topic.

A large number of ASF projects in the Big Data space are inspired by Google's publications. Good to see Google finally taking the lead and coming out with code.

Good thing that Atlassian/BitBucket would also be supporting it: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2015/10/01/contributing-to-git-lf...

And very glad to read that they decided to contribute to this instead of working on their own solution for the same problem. Kudos!

A bit surprising that these instances are EBS only and don't have any ephemeral disks at all.

Yup, that was me who asked the question there. :-)

When I first encountered this behavior on BitBucket, I spent a lot of time reading the man pages and searching the internet trying to find out which option were they providing to `git diff` to get this diff output but couldn't find anything. Looks like there is indeed no such option. It would be awesome if git had something like `git diff branch-name --merge-commit-diff`.

New comment by mindprince in "Boto (AWS Python SDK) goes green, top 19 libraries now support Python 3"

mindprince — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 03:14:45 +0000

It is misguiding to say that boto supports Python 3. The boto3 repository (https://github.com/boto/boto3) is experimental and far from feature completion. I am even not sure if it's API compatible with boto. Further, it has been dormant for quite some time.

boto3: https://github.com/boto/boto3/tree/develop/boto3

boto: https://github.com/boto/boto/tree/develop/boto

It don't understand why python3wos changed its status.

I feel the same way - deleting the Facebook app from my phone and just keeping the Facebook Messenger app turned out to be a very good decision.

New comment by mindprince in "Ask HN: What do you think about our last HN Search update?"

mindprince — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:32:59 +0000

Couple of things:

1) www.hnsearch.com had three sort options: relevance | date | points. It would be great if the new search also have all three options.

2) Please make your legacy style exactly like the old one. That style matched HN style perfectly. Right now there is an extra line which links to the HN thread (we are used to clicking the comments link for that) and the way comments are displayed feels not right.

mindprince — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 02:39:18 +0000

They won't be storing the email password in cleartext. They would probably be using reversible encryption.

Here's how Mint.com stores your banking credentials: https://www.quora.com/How-do-mint-com-and-similar-websites-a... I assume LinkedIn Intro would be using a similar technique.
