Thanks for the feedback. I also think that density is more important information. The thing is that it tends to show low populated countries on top when it orders by density and I thought it'd be better to show more populated countries on top to begin with since there'll be more people who are interested in those countries. I'll reconsider about it.


Thanks for the comment!

FYI, if you want to src attribute to load markdown files you need to build js files yourself as the js file in the CDN doesn't have the feature for some reason.

I've created an issue for this https://github.com/chaitin/strapdown-zeta/issues/119


I've just tried fman and I love it.

I've never heard about this tool before. I'm pretty sure that you would be able to sell more if you market it a bit more. Thanks for the software!


That's great to hear. Thanks!


Well, about 10 years ago before iPhone appeared, was the mobile the next big thing? In hindsight of course. How did the data look like before iPhone? Check out the chart in this article https://www.recode.net/2017/6/26/15821652/iphone-apple-10-ye...

There's no data before a breakthrough. We should be wary of hypes but at the same time we shouldn't diminish pioneers.


If you looked at the trend lines, Mobile was definitely growing in 1997 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/203688/handset-penetrati...)

I was working at Radio Shack in 1995-1996 and mobile phones were definitely starting to grow in popularity. By then, you already had subsidized “free” phones and mobile plans were around $35 a month.


Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough.

When we say that "Mobile is eating the world" or something, we are not talking about the mobile phone we can make a call with but the phone we can use the internet and applications with.

Your data is about the mobile device that allowed us to make a phone call.

If you say that "this is also data" then we have that kind of data for chatbot as well, e.g., the number of sales of Alexa and Google Home devices, or Messenger installations, etc.


Hugo + Netlify + Bitbucket.

I only pay for the domain via namesilo.

I used to use Tumblr but moved to the static site generator because - I wanted full flexibility - I didn't use web GUI to write or redesign my blog - Tumblr looked outdated at some point - and this could happen to any platform.


@amingilani Thank you for posting this. There are tons of valuable comments here.


Looks nice. I've wanted something like this. It would be better if I can subscribe a search result.


https://www.techconferences.io

Full disclosure - this is my site -- but you can join and keep track of conferences.


Haha, good one! Yours is more a database than mine, indeed! :)


Thanks! Will add this feature soon! Indeed, I built it as I needed a way to see what conferences to pick for me, or for my team :)


Are you looking for future events around a topic, or updates after the conferences are over?


No worries. We would be there in some years using VR. We should not be able to tell the difference one day.


That's pointless though and our brains will know it.


But so is traveling vast distances to experience something identical to what you can simulate ;)


That's not true. The primary reason we want to travel to other planets and stars is because we want to learn more. There's only so much a telescope can detect. Without going there, you won't even have what to simulate.

And the other reason for why we want to travel is because we want colonies. Given consumerism, population growth and the destruction of our environment, it gets pretty clear that we need a backup plan. This is why we still need human spaceflight, even if sending robots is much cheaper for discovery and learning purposes. And again, simulation is pointless.


Absolutely, those are very good points, though not all of those problems are best solved by manned missions (e.g. exploration can be more efficiently performed if life-support systems are unnecessary). Increasing human survival odds definitely does require manned missions.

But, from a cultural enrichment/learning/individual experience perspective (which I, perhaps incorrectly, assumed the parent comment was referring to) a sufficiently accurate simulation with appropriate man/machine interfaces is a far more efficient solution than manned spaceflight over interstellar distances (provided people can get over their discomfort with the ontology of simulacra).


There's a more popular but similar project. https://github.com/guarinogabriel/mac-cli Has anyone used both?


I find that mac-cli is too unfocused with functions like ssh, tar, magento support, mysql support which are not really needed and common between platforms.

I like the exclusive focus of this tool to only mac administration tasks which are specific to mac OS X and that I would not know off the top of my head.


It literally says on the github page of OP submission, that Mac-CLI was inspiration.

HNews discussion about it 3 weeks ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11977162

But I too wonder why I should use this instead of Mac-CLI?


I think @koenigdavidmj has the answer :)


Why not?
