Yes, but you're in the books for that anyway. No matter whether you still have the house or not.

Though I do see that it is a problem, if you have to come up with the margin call in cash when you sell the house.
A perfect response to a question I just asked. Thank you!
Hopefully we can get rid of our OV cards soon. Annoys me a lot that I have to take it out of my wallet every time.
Gotta know what kind of content this is.

If it's a programming blog or an anime image board you could have 20M impressions and make 50 cents a month.

If you picked a topic at random from a list of topics you'd probably get one that monetizes pretty well. If you sampled a random person who's asking the question odds are they picked a topic which doesn't monetize well.
Seems the strategy is to eliminate as many numbers/operators before you attempt to guess. Was able to get it in 4 as by the second row I had the set of values to work with.
It sounds like Doctrine https://www.doctrine-project.org/ is what you need if you want an ORM to handle relatively complex stuff. It's the default in Symfony projects and I don't know if there's a Laravel integration.

ASP.NET Core is nice mind; if you have the choice... :)
Do you use Heroku's managed PostgreSQL service?
"...most beautiful.... wheels inspired by analog telephone dial..."

I suggest: "mental".
Actually working on that project right now - www.thekanary.com. Super early stage but have a big list of brokers and opt out links that I'm automating. Would love early feedback.
I like "Recycle bin" more than trash can, because it makes it clear that the point of dropping things there is to "recycle" the disk space...
Can attest, having worked at the Bluehost brand as a tier 2 chat support (before they shut down everything and offshored all support to the Indian CEO's family's Indian call center).

The company is a fucking nightmare. ALL EIG brands should be avoided like the plague including Constant Contact, site5, bluehost, hostgator, fastdomains, justhost, hostmonster, ipage, NetFirms, UnifiedLayer, IpowerWeb, PowWeb, ResellerClub, HostNine, HostCentric, Domain.com, Dotster, Verio, AppMachine, Arvixe...etc...

They have horrible security. Hacked sites were the norm not the exception. The techs we had were decent, but when things started off-shoring the off-shore tech's were complete idiots who couldn't figure out how to add space to a VPS...That was in 2015, I'm sure now it's way worse. I left in 2014/2015 to do development full-time, my wife worked there till they shut down their Orem, UT operations.

We had friends who they actually got to move to AZ to work w/ hostgator during the transition, and then fired 3 months later after they didn't need them anymore and AFTER they'd already bought a house in AZ... real pieces of shit there...

The CEO even said 3 weeks before everyone got the notification they were being canned "Don't worry your jobs are all safe, nobody's getting laid off" ...lmao
Just wait until the Instagram influencers discover and destroy it.
Yep. That certainly qualifies as an alteration! :)

To be frank, I wasn't sure how much of the brain stem was left, but was aware of wikipedia's wording.
> Broadband and the technology sector in general are both highly competitive and highly innovative.

Are we talking about UK or southern Europe, for example Romania with gigabit fiber at $20/mo for like the past 5 years ?
Is this actually newsworthy?

If you’re going to buy drugs the darkweb is almost surely safer (as in more likely to be getting what you ask for) than buying it from some random person in your neighborhood.
If the advice comes with a story about how such and such was similar to the diets of ancestors, it's probably unscientific to the point of parody.

A wide variety in your diet prevents potential harms from chronic exposure - if you eat the same things over long periods you can accumulate unintended adulterants. Your particular genetics might result in chronic inflammation from an otherwise innocent food item.

Diet should be approached as a game with unknowable hazards. Science is continually evolving, and the findings one week can be completely overturned the next, and so on. Your strategy in the diet game should be to imitate success, avoid harmful patterns, and seek variety consistently. One day we will have a thorough model for nutrition and genetics and we can use soylent style customized food.

Meal pacing depends on your lifestyle, what you eat, fitness, and a myriad of other factors. There will be no one size fits all answer - there are too many confounding factors to reach a sensible conclusion except at an individual level.

Someone sedentary has different requirements than an athlete who runs marathons, or a warehouse worker, librarian, or plumber. One big meal might be best for one, while munching all day could be best for another, and their colleagues might find variations more suitable to their context.

One strategy is to go through an elimination experiment- eat nothing but meat, for 2 weeks, and gradually add different foods one per week, keeping a journal of subjective effects, blood pressure, satiety, weight, bowel movements, and so on.

Following a fad diet
In my team I need someone like you to deliver features, not someone that can leetcode. I don't remember the last time I had to check an algorithm in Wikipedia. Probably 2-3 years ago.

Most of the time it will be debugging some arcane crap or adding to an existing codebase, anyway.

"Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow."

On the face of it, this is shocking, disturbing, and disgusting. But I'm not prepared to pass judgment. Did he simply misspeak? Was there any clarification after the fact? Has the press followed up on this?
I have a feeling governments are going to relax restrictions given the enormous economic costs we're absorbing right now. It may be medically advisable to keep this up for like 18 months, but there's a cost to plunging the world into a global depression that could outweigh the cost of treating a rampant virus. At some point we're going to have to declare the curve to be sufficiently flattened and ride it out until a vaccine can be deployed.
Your comment mirrors my experience with external recruiters during normal times so I don't really see myself using recruiters now.
Maybe economics can help.

When anyone else can resell your code, your work becomes a public good.

Public goods are underprovided in equilibrium.
Germany banned gatherings of more than two people. That's way more sensible than a dont-go-outside ban.

If the stroll outside isn't the problem then don't ban it. Don't ban outside walks because people walk outside to a 50 person gathering. Ban the gathering.

As you say, they probably don't fine people who go outside and don't go near anyone. But the thing with bans you don't enforce equally is that people tend to ignore them eventually.

And you also only have a fixed "budget" of restrictions. You don't want to waste any of it on measures that don't have an effect. House arrest for a population for 3 weeks is a large chunk of that "budget".
That's a false dichotomy. There are, thankfully, options besides {write multiple passwords on post-it note} and {use same password everywhere}.

Nvidia, and in fact all of us, should be teaching folks to not reuses passwords and also to store them securely. It's almost 2015, and password managers are available for pretty much any platform, they're secure against the threats commonly faced by most people, and they're easy to use.
Uber's entire premise seems to be that a regulated market is by definition a corrupt one, that the "crime" lies in following the laws, not breaking them. One person's "organized crime" is another's "free market enterprise".

Their argument, and their attitude, fails when they encounter cultures which don't share the US' antipathy towards labor and consumer rights. There are places where the taxis manage to not be terrible, and where people prefer services to be regulated beyond "caveat emptor." Insane, I know.
What are some examples? I'd like to teach some people I know the basic concepts of programming, and I was thinking of starting with Python. I'd like to hear of some languages that have more beginner-friendly environments.
Rails will be around for many years to come and thousands of new applications will be built with it. I could guess at why you perceive the job market as declining, but the fact remains that there are a lot of large, proven, production applications that use Ruby on Rails such as Hulu, Groupon, Bloomberg, Airbnb, Soundcloud, etc.

In my opinion though, you should focus on versatility and ALSO learn about Python on Django, AngularJS, and Dart. Once you learn those conventions it won't be much of a stretch to learn whatever your potential employer or client wants to use. You'll also be able to explain to your colleagues why they should choose on over the other.
The last year's page link is throwing a 404 error. http://www.ianww.com/blog/blog/2013/12/31/my-year-in-side-pr...

Great side projects btw, if you don't mind me asking, how to do choose to allocate time amongst side projects and keep yourself focused? It seems that with side projects, one challenge is to avoid the trap of too many interesting ones to start working on.
This is historically based: caused by the way the upper class and bourgeoisie have treated and regarded the working class in the UK. Read Orwell's accounts of life in the workhouses during the Depression for more insight.
My mother is a first grade teacher. While many things like math, reading, spelling, etc. can be delivered remotely (and I've been really impressed at the speed at which she has digitized it all) there is a lot of crucial tactile and social learning that occurs at that age that we have no real substitute for yet.
"Should people from well-off families be made to see what it's like to live off a minimum wage income so they can not vote to make life harder for the poor?"

seeing as how the the poor vastly out-number the rich, no. I also don't see how the rich are making it difficult for the poor.

They pay more than their fair share of taxes (which in turn pays for many social programs that they don't even use). They also aren't lobbying to take anything away from the poor, except less of their own money.
Oh, can't believe I forgot about Egan. Definitely mind-bending. Good call.
No - parent mentioned SSL - originally people were claiming it was sent as a clear text POST - the part that people failed to recognize was that it was over SSL and that is what was debunked later on.
Congratulations and good luck

Just one point of feedback - can you add an about page to the site with company info, bios etc? I looked for it and couldn't find it
Don't be afraid to charge people money for your service! Your free plan is way too generous. Personally, I would replace the free plan with a working demo, so people can kick the tires. But definitely lower the free plan to one design.

I think you need to address the line that says "Requires an HTML5 compliant browser." For one, it's not clear enough whether you mean the builder needs HTML5 or the output requires it. In any event, I think you should frame it by telling the user which browsers will work -- those are terms they'll better be able to understand, especially considering you're aiming for the market of people who don't know what they're doing online.

Anyway, there's my two cents. Good luck.
Please do not post time-wasting comments like this. I asked a serious question and I would appreciate a thoughtful and useful answer.
I am confused: is it a mock up tool? I don't see any design in the examples, just mockups. You should make more clear what is it that you are offering.
I have a colleague who uses the term 'digital thaumaturge.'

Thaumaturgy is the capability of a saint
or magician to work miracles. A practitioner
of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturge or miracle worker.

I like the spirit, but it doesn't quite have the cachet of 'hacker.'
Nice to see Amazon taking some responsibility, actually saying sorry and trying to earn back some good will by providing compensation for disruption. This is how companies should act.
Facebook started out that way too and seemed...okay? But certainly you can make more money by appealing to influencers and whatnot.
I really hope that HEIF animations can take the place of GIFs someday.

IMO it depends who stands to gain from it. If you make a new compiler, you need to make sure x86 and ARM work because that’s what most of your users will be using. There is almost no gain in adding support to some ancient cpu that no one uses anymore.

On the other side, if you make a new cpu architecture, all of your users (people buying the chip) will gain from porting compilers.

No one is expected to do anything (unless they are being paid). It’s just logical for people to work this way.
Yes I think they meant they saw a weird name that stood out (I've seen Donald Duck at work) and they investigated more, finding it was test data.
Oh okay that makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
But is the JSON allowed to have comments?

Very cool. Things like this make me admire people's patience.
Yep, I think too many people fall in to the trap of thinking they are Google or Netflix when the reality is their site could probably be run on a potato. I wouldn’t use sqlite for a commercial web app but even a good chunk of those would be just fine on it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry is as good a reference as any to the methodologies. I know pointing people at Wikipedia is a bit passé but it gives a good summary.

I think the answer to your implied criticisms would be, "it depends"
If you reward doctors too greatly, the allure of being a doctor is no longer saving lives or helping cure disease. It's getting access to a sweet lifetime of cashflow
I think you have good points, but I disagree with "There's a reflex for a person to think of themselves as using a single role" -- weirdly enough, humans are so hardwired to manage complex social situations that they can manage a few different personas intuitively, along with linguistic and bodily cues about who they are trying to be. Even children do this. (Well, Zuckerberg might not find personas, roles, and code-switching intuitive, but I think super focused computer types are not representative... ;) ) There is scholarly work to back me up, but I can't think of any names to start with except Labov and Goffman -- they are completely brilliant mind fs if you bother to read them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Presentation_of_Self_in_Eve...

Re the UI -- spot on, but maybe that is a UI problem, not a UI boundary condition, and we could start researching cues for persona switching on the computer screen. Avatars are a first attempt, but not all that inspiring if you ask me.
A domain is not an idea. The fact that somebody might beat you to registering a domain that you intend to point to an implementation of an idea doesn't mean the idea itself is particularly valuable.
On the drupal side there is Boost: http://drupal.org/project/boost It has some fairly smart cache invalidation logic as well. At work we use the cache invalidation logic to tell varnish what needs to be refreshed. We use this setup for over 1,000 TV station news sites; supported by 10 boxes total. Flat file cache size is around 80GB. Our load is usually under 2 on all boxes.
The main thing publishers do is advertising. The second main thing is getting the product into channels (not an issue here of course).

And sometimes publishers will actually fund a project, usually in the form of advances.

I don't know Angry Birds specifically though.
Eavesdropping is as old as the hills. One thing that was emphasized to me in my first job out of college with a big consulting firm: NEVER discuss a client or details of a project in public. Ever. You never know who's listening.
To me, tofu looks horripical... But maybe that's just me.. but the thought of text just sliding out from the right makes mu skin crawl... (And I have used 3-column interfaces previously - remember the old IHT interface?)

But I'm saying this to highlight the larger point that everyone has their preference, it probably has a relation to biology or bodily reflexes or habits or something.

I suspect that the ability to customize appropriately will become valuable over time (with a wave of appropriate customizations appearing only after the earlier wave of arbitrary-features-created-by-software-developers recedes).

tl;dr - I agree with the article. Get shit done to make yourself happy.

When reading a few responses here, I'm taken back with the comment "It's easy for you to preach, you don't have kids". In real life, I heard similar sentiments.

I'm having a hard time trying to understand the feeling when people said such things. Having kids is a choice, no? The same thing with living über-minimalistic life. People who don't have kids may have serious problems too.

Me and my wife, we don't have kids. But what we do have in terms of problems:

1. Selfish, arrogant, and wasteful parents. We helped them a lot and never received a single thanks. They love to have elaborate parties even though they are broke.

2. A 14 years old sister. Amazingly selfish little brat, complete disconnect between what she wants and what our parents could provide. Fucking android for 14 years old, what for? I cannot imagine her coding up some android app.

I don't have a million dollar and far from it. When I was 26, I swallowed the "American Dream" Kool-aid bottoms up and really needed that 1 million dollar:

We bought a big house, with .25 acre land. We owned 3 cars. I did all the stupid things that can only happen if you own a house: upgrading HVAC, kitchen, etc. etc.

Only 1 thing I did that wasn't stupid: paying for wife's school.

Now, we don't own TV, 1 car, 1 couch, < 700 sqft apartment, 2 cats, and 0-10 minutes commute.

When we went through the transformation, crazy things happen. My sisters respect me a lot more. When they want superfluous things and I said no, they listen far more than they ever did. Crazy things happen with the parents too. They listened, twice, when I told them about the elaborate parties.

Not needing money empowered me far more than money ever did. And I'm quite sure that I'm not unique in that regard.
My future kids won't have lawn to run around or the latest apple gadgets to pimp around. Their life won't be govern by money. This plan may or may not work, my real life friends would be the judge of that.

To drive my points further, unrelated to my life story, several tech co-founders have told me directly. "The best time to raise money, is when you don't need money".

Extra brownie point: To buy freedom into United States (the easy way), you really need a million dollar. http://bit.ly/9RItQM
Sweet. I've been using Vimium (http://vimium.github.io/) which has something similar but it shows bookmarks and history and what not. I wanted something to do the same but for the current tabs. Thanks.

Can you make it so I don't have to click on the dropped down tabs? Instead I want to just use my cursor to select one.

Also, I noticed if I am in a different window, it will show tabs in the dropdown for tabs in other windows but if I click them nothing happens. Is that just me, or not possible?

ESC button to exit the searching.

(Notice it's open source but don't have time right now to dig into it, but maybe in the future!)
What is it that would make John Carmack an elite programmer, though? I'm not saying he is or isn't, I just don't know what he did that well.

I think I remember reading one source claiming that his real gift was being able to develop graphics engines at just the right level of sophistication to just barely run well on the latest desktop computers that would be available when the engine was ready, even though the development project was started years before. If that's his main talent, it's definitely a gift, but does it make him an elite developer? Or is he more of an elite marketer/market analyst?
Congrats on shipping. Looks interesting - great idea to replace 'cron' itself with a better implementation.

(Shameless plug) - for those people that have to stick with cron (and cant switch to Jobber) and need status report and error handling I have a SaaS that handles this. See my bio for details.
"If you're used to servers written in interpreted languages (or named after precious gems), prepare to be pleasantly surprised by PostgREST performance."

then

"Ultimately the server (when load balanced) is constrained by database performance. This may make it inappropriate for very large traffic load."

ROFL. Bragging about performance, then "but don't use it for anything big". So instead of getting a solution which scales out with app servers in the "language named after precious gems" (straightforward), you get to scale out Postgres servers (not straightforward).
Why? Because "change is bad, mkkkay"?

It's not like Cron covers all our needs...

The "do one simple thing and do it well" principle worked best for the simple needs of late '70s OSes.

In 2014 it ends up with MORE (not LESS) complexity, built on top of those simple tools to coordinate them to do anything useful. And of course they're not even that smart in how they work together...

Like "make" has grown configure and autoconf and all that cruft (because we "kept it simple").
Elite accountants usually get promoted into CFO positions, where they are very important and get a huge paycheck. There is a huge difference between a good and an amazing CFO.

I think 10X people exist in any area, including accounting and programming. E.g. John Carmack, Linus Torvalds, Poul-Henning Kamp. Some top accountants can be found by looking at CFO positions of huge companies.

These people are very rare tho' and most of us have probably not worked with a 10X person. Just like most of us have not played football with a "Ronaldo-level" player.
It's not you missing something, it's RWW. We were actually trying to build "Alternate Reality" games, not "Augmented Reality". The clear distinction is that our plan was to build "game worlds on top of the real world" but didn't worry about our implementation. It could have been some list-based game, and it still would have been Alternate Reality.

However, we were looking into using Augmented Reality as the delivery mechanism for these games. Then we open sourced the AR stuff that we had built to that date: https://github.com/simplegeo/SGAREnvironment
