Interesting, I was just looking for something like this the other day, thanks HN! The software looks quite polished. Hopefully there'll be a dockerzied version to play with it.
Thanks for your feedback :)
At first we did load a shell extension but we stopped due to performance issues. now its just a user-registry entry that starts the executable with the dir/file as parameter.
I don't - I created this because I needed a reliable error scan for websites that depend on good google rankings and those sites usually don't require authentication.
Urgh. Are we going to do this every time someone dies? HN already has a tendency to get spammed up with fifty copies of approximately the same article with the same comments when this happens, this is only going to make it worse.
Engelbart was not just "someone". As the other comments in this thread have pointed out, he didn't just invent the mouse. He conceived of hypertext 25 years before the world wide web. He conceived of object-oriented programming. Graphical user interfaces. Watch The Demo ( http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html )if you want to see a man that was truly ahead of his time.
I think he had a greater influence on the current state of computing than Steve Jobs, Dennis Ritchie, or perhaps anyone in the computing world than anyone except for Alan Turing.
I think it is quite appropriate to morn his death.
Because I like the comfort of familiarity, and hate change or surprises? It's a reasonably common personality trait among programmers (I can put a medical label on it if you want). When I first saw it I spent a while trying to figure out what was wrong with my browser.
Ultimately I don't see why that matters though; understanding why it's bothering me isn't going to make it not bother me.
Me neighter. I really don't see how keeping information to himself could have helped in any way.
It's important for society to be aware of what is happening and it's up to society itself to decide on how much of their freedom they want to give away in order to be 'safe'.
And what on earth does visiting one's mother have to do with a national security issue?
Python 2 is still widely used, that's why saying it supports "Python" seems legit to me.
Although I have to admit I'm annoyed by this versioning problem myself. I find myself wasting a lot of time sorting out versioning issues of packages/frameworks I'd like to use.
Is it legit to claim to support windows if you only support XP? It's disingenuous. At the least mention the version number in the claim if it's that important.
I think you'd get a more apt analogy if you were to back up a few years, to the late 1990s: At that time, was it legitimate to claim you support Windows if you only support Win9x and not WinNT?
Don't get confused by version numbers. Yes, Python 3's got a bigger major number, but for now that is nothing more than a reflection of Python's ambitions. The reality is that Python's currently in a period of transition, and during the course of that transition the Python name will have to be shared by two separate-but-related software products.
The project itself looks ok to me - I don't really mind the logo, though.
Concering growth/spreading of the project: BangWithFriends had huge media coverage because it was something new and also a little controversial. I'm afraid PairBuddy is missing this aspect.
I nonetheless with you the very best of luck with your weekend project.
Thanks senic. We are not controversial - so not expecting a viral growth.
We think that people interested in serious relationships will benefit from it. Even if we are able to reach to a few thousand and are genuinely able to help them, we will be happy. :)
