This. DO, imo, crushes AWS's pricing, documentation and ease of use for anyone but big enterprises. I used their managed k8s for a personal project as someone who's never used k8s before and it:

* didn't cost more than the $10 droplet it ran on
* just worked
* super easy to operate
* has had no issues so far

If I were working for any kind of not-ridiculously-large business that wasn't connected to an endless funnel of money (VC/adtech...?) I'd pick DO.
Be a giant investor, ie a bank. IPOs are there for banks to be able to buy up shares at a low price, then dump it when retail investors get their turn to run it up before banks sell off.
You can sometimes buy pre-ipo shares on EquityZen or similar platforms if you meet certain standards. It's all very thinly offered though, and sometimes they bundle offers.
They allocate chunks to the big brokerages and you can apply for a piece. Think you need to meet sophisticated investor criteria tho
Thank you, I tried to make the code as readable as I could. And yes, since the *nix model for (sub)processes is cleaner than Cygwin-on-Windows it's kind of surprising that that gap is what it is.
QLens is an electron app which dynamically generates GraphQL Schema and Mongo Schema visualization. QLens significantly cut development time by automating the formation of their GraphQL schemas based on information fetched from their non-relational database.

>that's how we got the Nvidia proprietary driver to begin with

Could you elaborate a bit? I don't buy nvidia hardware and don't follow them at all these days, but I very well remember using the proprietary driver back in 2008 or so. At the time, it seemed to me to be the only well supported high-performance graphics driver.
I would have loved for us to have at least one era of widespread mechanical computing. The World Wars jolted and sped us up too much to have some steampunk. :(
It's ok, you can look at it this way: the worst case is you will waste some money and a couple days. On the other hand the best case is your life can be transformed in ways you can not imagine. You can listen to as many opinions as you want, you will really know only if you try it.
> It turned out that someone had stolen my card information and bought two copies from their own Amazon listing

Far more likely is that you've stored those card details and your Amazon account was compromised, internally or externally.

With repeated notes/chords and drums this becomes... music!

Can you elaborate? You want us to help you build apps or get them to make an API or?
In case this was not meant to be ironical, could you explain how noting moves improves play?
Wouldn't it be enough to add some git aliases for this?
Like:

[alias]
hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --decorate --date=short
quick-push = "!f() { git add . && git commit -m \"$1\" && git push; }; f"
grep-log = log -E -i --grep
grep-hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --decorate --date=short -E -i --grep
I think it's censored... I remember playing this on our old Amiga 600 and I'm sure I remember that same pixelated wall when the king takes the queen.
Hey, summer in Chicago is a great month. :)
All the people who like good movies stopped going to see movies because they know they aren't good.

Related: http://lesswrong.com/lw/lr/evaporative_cooling_of_group_beli...

A cult gets more extremist over time because moderates will leave. Then the definition of 'moderate' changes relative to who is still there, and the cult slides into an ever-more-narrow circle of ever-more-extreme followers. It's a feedback loop.

Except in case of movies, it is a feedback loop that promotes maximum reliability and profits. It doesn't promote "good movies" or "what the audience wants" in any way: it promotes what the _remaining_ audience is unwilling to sacrifice.
> Go apps don't require a runtime.

Go applications do require a runtime, but the executable is statically linked, so the binary executable ships with the runtime.

The rest of what you said is correct. The only reason you need the Go development tools installed is to develop the application or to compile it from source.
There's a distinct (I'd say moral or intentional) difference between publishing/performing in public and sharing with friends/family. Even Friendster or Diaspora* conflate the two. What I would like to see is the P2P equivalent of something like Snapchat, completely decentralized and fully under control of the person sharing a datum (text, picture, video, like, etc.) Unfortunately, that's not something easily engineered (likely impossible given our experience with software-only DRM systems), let alone sold or monetized.
> How many Game of Thrones sequels would there be already?

I don't find this scary. Presumably people should favor the ones written by the original author, because they would expect it to be more true to the spirit that they liked in the earlier works. However, if some people prefer to read works by competing authors, then that would be good for them, and too bad for Martin. The notion of being able to assess property rights over a universe of fiction (beyond the original copyright interpretation of ownership of the actual work and adaptations of the work in its fixed form) are a new and dangerous notion, I think.

Lots of artistic creativity is discouraged or impossible today because of the unclear legal status of fan fiction, or of works that are inspired by another work but cannot afford to pay a license for them. I find this far more worrying than the consequences of depriving rightholders from exclusivity rights on the universes created by authors.
There's a key difference between the Econ 101 model and the real world that I feel is not talked about enough, but is explanatory for a lot of discrepancies in the market:

People don't pay for actual utility, they pay for expected expected utility.

So franchises are a reasonable solution to this problem: Franchise Ep. 1 was good, so consumers will go to Ep. 2 because they expect the chances are it's at least almost as good, as opposed to taking a ganble on some other thing they've never heard of before. For the studios, it's also a good way to cash in on something that was not an immediate success, but grew a gradual fanbase as well.

Other solutions to this problem include: subscriptions (paying a fixed cost each month for access to a large library in which you don't have to pay an additional cost for each thing you may or may not like), bundles (paying for a group of things that includes at least one or two things you know you like, and using their quality to vouch for the other things in the group), and money-back guarantees (which doesn't work very well for consume once content).

Still doesn't get you into more choice than NYC.

If you don't want to use head count (and I agree there is nuance), what do you want to use? Thus my citation needed request.
It was written in Ruby before, requiring the Ruby runtime to be installed. With Go you have actual binaries. They also aren't linked to anything Go specific, so you can easily distribute them without installing anything Go specific on those machines.

So in the end the removal of the Ruby dependency should clean up your local machine ;)
It's essentially the opposite of polymorphism. Polymorphism says that if you look at the same thing in two different contexts you should get two different results. Isomorphism says that if you look at the same thing in two different contexts you should get the same thing. Here the contexts are server and client.
Hehehe, I eventually heard through the grapevine that it had been "impossible" to invite me to a high school reunion, because I wasn't on FB.
Signal is my choice for its security, but Telegram has an advantage: it is more user friendly.
While I do believe we are at a "benevolent dictator" stage of social media, what happened yesterday should be feared by every democratic nation and regardless of the "side" you are on it should be avoided at most costs.

It's quite literally the seeds to fracturing a society.
Unfortunately I don't think it's that black-and-white. Fox News is a small part of the information bubble, which includes other sources like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. And there's evidence that social media addiction is real. So the content is feeding into a positive feedback loop that prevents people from regulating their ability to tune into something else.

This doesn't absolve the viewers from responsibility, but it also doesn't place it entirely on their shoulders.
It's almost funny how un-advanced trading platforms are. Nobody cares because those who manage to get rich on it can live with the limitations, those who get burn simply leave.
The problem here with the Libertarian argument of "live and let live" is that clearly these people didn't.
For the first few decades, any citizen could. You could literally go to the white house or congress and get an audience with the president or congressman. Of course you'd also pretty much have to be anglo-saxon protestant for that privilege. After all, the idea was that these people were your employees. But that was when the country was much smaller.

> Why not the allow people to walk into the oval office?

They do. Call up your congressman and get set up a schedule.

They still want to keep up the illusion that the government works for the people.
I use Rails.
I use Svelte.
I do SSR and CSR.
I have dynamic content (not a static blog).

My light house scores are ~95, 100, 100, 100.

It can be done, you just have to be smart about how you do things.
The impetus to leave these big tech platforms has gone up at least 40% for me. If I want filtered information, the big news players provide that 24/7.
Really good question. One hypothesis is that they're massively under-testing, but there's not a lot of data to support that. If you look at https://covidtracking.com/data/ for example, you see a positivity ratio of about 9% for FL, compared with 86% (!!!) for NJ, where it is really clear that the situation is dire but we're not seeing it because of lack of testing.

The other one to watch is Michigan. There the "data quality grade" from covidtracking is a D.
WE LOVE ELIXIR.

I don't even write Elixir and I love it, because we built a system that makes it super easy to take a Dockerfile of some random thing, and deploy 20 instances of it spread evenly around some bunch of regions that can talk privately to each other by default.

That's a fun thing to be able to do in any language, but to exploit it in a Go program, I'd have to actually think, pull something like Serf in, whatever.

But Phoenix LiveView apps literally ship with a dashboard where you can see all your instances running, and then first-class features for them to chat between themselves.

LiveView is cool all on its own, but Elixir+Phoenix+LiveView is such a sweet application of a hosting environment like ours. Expect us to be weirdly chatty about Elixir in the coming months.
Sorry. I am actually working on Linux... i just didn’t create the packages for it, as it’s more work to maintain and probably not very useful business-wise...
AV1 decoder and SVT-AV1 encoding (essentially, AV1 for broadcast) jumped out to my eye, nothing else tbh
The idea is that it's a collaboration between Satan and Nike. They previously did another one based on what a collab between Nike and Jesus would look like.

I doubt anyone thinks Nike is doing collabs with religious figures.
This is nothing compared to what we were doing in lab several years ago. Neuralink is the least invasive of the invasive ways to conduct this research. I had to put animals down, because they would be defunct after trying to remove those bulkier devices. Neuralink is relatively humane, speaking as someone who has seen this technology in its infancy.
feeling guilty itself is not a bad thing except when "people around you" deliberately wanted to make you feel that way

as bad as this ongoing pandemic is to public physical health, the social distance improved mental health is worth deeper studying
>"An EUV machine is made of more than 100,000 parts, costs approximately $120 million, and is shipped in 40 freight containers. There are only several dozen of them on Earth and approximately two years’ worth of back orders for more. It might seem unintuitive that the demand for a $120 million tool far outstrips supply, but only one company can make them.

It’s a Dutch company called ASML

, which nearly exclusively makes lithography machines for chip manufacturing.

Despite this hyperspecialization, it has a market capitalization of more than $150 billion dollars

—much higher than IBM’s and only slightly lower than Tesla’s."
Or, if you're using Chrome/Chromium/Opera, try uBlock:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

I use AdBlock on one machine and uBlock on the other, both in Opera. I've not noticed any real difference in unattended use, except uBlock seems to use less resources.
From the doc: "µMatrix does not guarantee that sites will work fine: it is for advanced users who can figure how to un-break sites, because essentially µMatrix is a firewall which works in block-all/allow-exceptionally mode out of the box: it is not unexpected that sites will break"

Workaround is to un-block whatever net requests which are causing a site to break. I can't make sense of "no work-around": unblock everything?

Edit: There is a scope-based switch to completely turn off matrix filtering.
Just out of curiosity, why does Tarsnap not work for you?
Gocomics.com is a particularly good example - I find it surprising that they appear to accept such low quality (one weird old tip) and shady (download now/you have 1 new messages/etc) ads.
Hm, wonder if this somehow is against their TOS?
Use AdBlock. Not AdBlock Plus.

Remember: ABP = Shit. AB = Good.
If they don't use radio technology we'll of course never hear from them - at least not via SETI. So, when it comes to SETI being effective, the interesting case is where the aliens are using radio technology but never advance their modulation technology to the point where the signal is no longer obviously artificial to an observer without knowledge of the coding scheme. It is of course difficult to say whether this is likely to happen; however, it seems contrived for a species to exist that is okay with using math and physics to construct and operate high-power radio transmitters, but refuses (or is unable to) use math to reach the next level of spectral efficiency.
Wow ! what an amazing app.

You should make it into a chrome/firefox plugin which allows me to keep a blacklist of sites that will be redirected from your site whenever I go to them. ( like the economist,bbc,forbes,vice,atlantic,etc )

Again, great work !
Yes, because I saw that my (not-so-niche, actually) use case wasn't even considered, and "noped" outta there as fast as I could.
That doesn't work the same way, that polishes the edges of the scratches so they're not as distinct.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not a freelancer, you're a contract developer. I make a lot of money off of guys like you, because I have relationships with the guys who ultimately hire you. They're willing to pay me $120/hr for a developer because they trust me to fix things if they get fucked up. I pay a staffing firm $90/hr, and the staffing firm pays you $65/hr. You get fucked over because you're playing the wrong game; clients don't pick up the phone and call you because you do good work, they pick up the phone and call you because they remember who you are and like you.

If you were really a "freelancer" or "consultant" instead of a contract developer, you would have these relationships yourself. You would be able to convince your clients to cut out the middleman and pay you $100/hr instead of paying me $120/hr. But first, you have to build that trust with the people ultimately paying for your services. This generally means upping your game with respect to salesmanship, which isn't something you can "hack". It also means turning down opportunities that may pay well, but don't offer any opportunity for building relationships.

Again, that's the thread that's missing here: personal relationships. Get to know your clients, understand what needs they have, and make them like you enough as a person that they think "Hey, I need a developer. I wonder if ryannevius is available?" You and your friend had a hard time starting an agency because you don't have a pool of potential clients because you don't have that symbolic rolodex of people you can call. You're selling professional services, and professional services are sold through person-to-person relationships.
This one wrote the middle years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_James where you can find:

We work in the dark
We do what we can
We give what we have
Our doubt is our passion,
and our passion is our task
The rest is the madness of art.
The need for a different word comes from a bit of linguistic trickery we tend to perform.

Because we tend to think of people with "depression" as being "depressed", we are apt to ask questions, like, "What do you have depression about?"

This question makes no more sense than "What do you have cancer about?" (thanks to Stephen Fry for the comparison) but because it does make sense to ask, "What are you depressed about?" it can be difficult to explain this to people.

Physiologically, it isn't at all clear that "depression" and "being depressed" are species of the same genus. The latter is a transient, perfectly healthy, emotional state. The former is a persistent, unhealthy neuro-physical state.

So having less similar words for things of a different kind that are often confused would be a good thing.
Do you have a copy of the federal law, by chance?
Yeah, I tried that. I notice a difference when developing on my Ubuntu VM I need to run a Vagrant VM for my app while also running IntelliJ IDEA on the Ubuntu VM. :)

VMs are good enough for many tasks, but not ideal for development.
It took me a second for this to click but it looks fantastic. It'd be good to follow this up with a larger example - what are the issues you foresee?
This is why I fucking hate it when, at one company I was at, the language in all the communications and meetings was "Management has decided...", "Talk to your supervisor..."

It's like, "Dude, there're less than ten of us, and half of us are building product, and the other half are sucking at sales. You aren't managing shit."

Little us-vs-them bullshit like that hurts everyone. :(
Or maybe to enforce parking rules that make sense, e.g. keeping all lanes of a busy thoroughfare clear for moving traffic during rush hour; alternate side parking in snowy states to keep the streets drive-able.

Edited out snark.
"Standing" is for vehicles, not pedestrians. It means "idling engine".
LLVM IR isn't portable, it's platform-specific.
I think it's fair to hand waive it as "intentional crash". Even if those people are not dead, they have been missing for over a year. I imagine it must be a fairly hellish experience if they are not dead.
I think you'll find most creative work is best done on your schedule, while most administrative work maps well to GTD. Administrative work (boring stuff like paying bills or doing laundry or status reports) should be separated from creative work (for more on this idea: http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html)
The chair looks uncomfortable. I wonder how much sitting and concentrating someone like Jobs does, though.
That makes sense. We should rewrite the history books to reframe everything as the achievements of carbon.
> Maybe I'm ignorant about this topic, and maybe such things are more normal in US than here in EU.

If you're ignorant about the topic, why not explore the other perspective with curiosity rather than gruffly dismissing it as provoking a BS sensor? Mentorship is an enormous part of the lifecycle of executive tenure of the ecosystem I participate in, which is the NYC startup ecosystem.

I've observed that when my colleagues have built a deep relationship with their manager during their tenure, often times, they gain that mentorship permanently whether they stay at the company or not. The reason the mentor does it is because it's just another version of the old adage of paying it forward -- they know that a job they land in the future could come from one of their old reports; in fact, they might even end up working for one of their old reports!

Investing time and energy into cultivating and keeping these relationships going is a large part of how my colleagues have continued to keep their career moving upward as they approach mid-career.
I've never understood why recipe blogs have so much extra text, unless it's an SEO thing to start with. The text all feels useless fluff to me anyway; all I'm there for is the actual recipe card itself. And from a user's perspective, it's impossible to tell the difference between the original and a "counterfeit", both are full of borderline malware ads, too much scrolling, and infuriating modal popups wanting my email address.

I don't want your newsletter. I don't want your life story. I don't want intrusive ads. I just want the (functional, non-copyrightable) recipe itself.

Ha yes, very true!
This is great and very publicly (unintentionally) shows exactly why SolarWinds got hacked. A CEO scapegoating an intern is what you would expect from a company with very deep systematic problems which led to such an embarrassing failure.

If your least experienced employee can accidentally topple the entire company, it is the entire company at fault. There are cases where individuals can undermine a whole organization and be at fault, but that requires sophistication and corruption which go above and beyond solid safeguards.
The password managers can have many different strategies for keeping their seed secret – it could be local hardware backed or cloud based but locked to a few of the devices you own etc.
It seems more about their blog or their employees on Twitter.
There is no legal mechanism because such exist mostly for criminal law and civil and public debt collection. So the EU maybe cannot use most of the enforcement mechanisms, except one: You can be fined some amount of money, creating a public debt which can then be collected if there is a treaty about such collections.
I really struggle to see how the bag they show as a copy is anything remotely like a scam copy, now the duper duper bag I could easily see as a copy of numerous other handlebar bags though. Sorry , can’t see their problem here re scam copies at least. Scam advertising may be a better headline.
Fair enough. I guess I was mostly retroactively jealous - at the time I was rocking an 8086 with CGA.
I can't answer that for today. But there was a time when they had a very active shopping site -- they were an earlier version of Amazon for 3rd-party merchants, Shopify or Etsy where anyone could open a "store". And Yahoo handled payments, as I recall, just like Amazon does now. I bought many things from there.

Where is that today? Gone, I guess. But it could have been an Amazon or Shopify.

They also had a lucrative ad business. Gone now, I think.
Basic civility existed for thousands of years before abstract notions of 'economic equality'.

That's an ideological idea that's nuance and I'm not sure most people even buy into as it's stated.

My grandparents were born on farms without plumbing or running water, so was everyone in the area. They had incredible dignity, civility, kindness (although a kind of emotionally distant version of it).

Yes, there would have been some ideals of 'equal before the law' or 'before God', and some notion of fairness about individuals amassing fortunes on the backs of others, surely, but not an ideological ideal of 'economic equality' and certainly not 'equity' as it's used today.

Not dropping blind people of 'just anywhere' is something people 3000 years ago would have understood quite well to be wrong.
