This is a tool to analyze large goroutine stacktrace dump files, to assist in debugging by parsing the dump and displaying it in a structured table.

It works entirely client-side (no data is uploaded or stored), groups together goroutines with identical stacktraces into a single entry, and allows quickly sorting/filtering/searching.


Remapping caps lock to ESC has been my preferred method for this, I'd suggest giving it a try!


Better, IMO, to use it as a control key (you can do so much with the control key inside a terminal). Of course, why not both?

Isn't that still missing the point? We don't want to be spied on period, whether there are things to hide or not.


We need to get comfortable with the fact that having things to hide does not make us guilty, criminal, or unethical.

Whether it's dick pictures, political views, or associations with questionable NSA targeted groups like UNICEF[1].

I argue that it's our responsibility to hide things to support freedom and democracy.

I firmly disagree. Hiding things is a hack; the actual solution is to change society such that exposure entails no significant consequences.

Sure, as a band-aid to make existing real people feel secure? Hiding things and keeping them hidden is fine. It's just an indicator of how far we as a society still have to go.

Do remember: "it's our responsibility to hide things to support freedom and democracy" is the exact argument used by the government against things like Wikileaks. The exact argument.


I'm not sure I follow your logic. So are you saying if we were a further advanced society people could have sex a crowded bus or restaurant and we should just all accept it and not expect them to get some privacy?

I'm not suggesting anyone should be ashamed of sex. I am suggesting that most people want that moment to be private and even those that around them want them to keep it private as well.


If you don't think that people having sex in public should be ashamed, why did you bring it up?


"Do remember: "it's our responsibility to hide things to support freedom and democracy" is the exact argument used by the government against things like Wikileaks. The exact argument."

The government does not have the right to privacy, we do. And exercising that right is well doing something we have the right to do.

Exercising free speech is good. Don't you think?


Your suggestion is like arguing that we needn't worry about food production because we could have Star Trek replicators.

I would very much like to live in your utopia, but until then we have to handle the reality:

I would love to know your thoughts on how to deal with our current situation.


It is the response to the argument that "If you don't have something to hide, you shouldn't mind having your rights trampled on" with the attendant presumption that anyone with something to hide must be a criminal or a T7t.


T7t? I'm not familiar with that term and my Google-fu is apparently not strong enough.


Like i18n or l10n: nine-letter word, starts and ends with "t", rhymes with "bogey man."

Edit: and no, I've never seen this particular abbreviation.


Terrorist (It's like i18n stands for internationalization, )


That's about what I would have guessed too, except I think "documentation" is "wiki", and "merging" is "pull requests".

The icons for pull requests and branches are far too similar to each other, in my opinion.


For the pull request icon, I would use the upper torso of a stick figure pulling a rope, a la tug-of-war.


Looked at loom.com, don't get what this site does.

Looked at loom.com/about and read wall of text, still not sure.

I'd suggest finding a more efficient way to communicate what this site is to newcomers.


Watched video, still not sure - it's enabling things and there's space - what do I do on Loom? Can I do this? Can I do that? One screenshot or even a conceptual one would have done all that...


I followed your steps and after reading:

"We're making it fast for you to access and manage your entire photo and video library on every device without taking up local storage space. "

I came to the conclusion this is a Dropbox with extended managing tools for pictures- it wasn't that hard.


Dropbox uses local storage space... How hard?


When I said hard, I wasn't talking about the implementation I was talking about figuring out what it does...


It helps us share the moments that matter with those close to us.


But isn't suing to enforce his patent rights also an expensive legal battle that he would need to somehow fund? I don't see how this threat could be seen as effective.


Some other group who buys the patent from him, paying his bills and then some, would sue to enforce the patent rights.


Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Javascript!"

Now they have NaN problems.


* Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use IEEE 754!"

FTFY.


As an alternative for 1) you might consider using the TTL collections feature in mongo, which expires data after a given time threshold: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/expire-data/


The stars animation behind that logo seems to be using quite a bit of CPU...


seems like a good excuse to buy a new shiney laptop to me


I love it. Instead of MMS though, reminders via instant message (gchat/aim/whatever) would be nice.


Great idea! on the list now
