Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

Server-Sent events is a specification for implementing server-side-push for web frontend applications, through plain-old HTTP.
It is best contrasted with WebSockets, which offer a full-duplex messaging channel over a custom protocol, operating within a single TCP connection (with an HTTP-compatible handshake).

I recently made my first map with MapBox's new WebGL+JavaScript API. There aren't many examples of how to do this yet, even on MapBox's API page, so I'll document my own experience here.
My map is made of several textures taken from Van Gogh paintings. The long-term goal is to allow a user to select which artworks they want to take textures from, but for now there is just one setting.

MDB is unlike most debuggers you've experienced.
It is not a source level debugger like gdb or lldb or even Node's builtin debugger
Generally used for postmortem analysis.
Postmortem is for Production and Development
We operate mostly on core files, though you can attach to running processes as well.
This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.
The script is here:
#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.
Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.
