Back in the 1960s in Australia, one of the supermarket chains used to give out numbered tickets with every sale. If you were able to collect a '1', a '2', a '3' and a '4' you would win the big prize which IIRC was a car.

The problem for the customers was that they easily collected the '1', the '2' and the '3' but those '4's were impossible to find.

So one bright spark made his own '4' and claimed the prize. The supermarket chain immediately had him charged with fraud and said the '4' was a forgery.

It came out in the court case that the reason the supermarket could prove the man had forged his '4' was because there were only going to be about 3 '4's for the whole of Australia and none of them was due to be released for several months yet.
The fundamental limitation is that you can't properly simulate g-forces with a rig that isn't moving around a large track. So it will never be fully immersive. But it's good enough that there is plenty of skills transfer between disciplines.

Remembering CORBA and glad it never took off: What if Kubernetes is the java of this generation? Java is not yet dying, and for better or worse, do solve organizational problems around code. Kubernetes is likewise becoming a business standard. Look into VMWare, IBM/RedHat and remote service providers offering it as standard.

One can write huge books on java, both on the strengths and solutions, but also the weaknesses. For smaller companies and projects, it would probably be overkill to start with the java/JVM monolith, even today. Though java is the reason I jumped off the dev bandwagon, I can defend the language in hindsight, because it do solve several huge "unnecessary" problems other languages/runtimes simply don't address. The operational costs having been hidden away with expensive hardware upgrades.

In hindsight, I don't see huge obstacles that the same may be said about Kubernetes in the future. These low-level kinks will be worked out, and provide for the masses what they can't or won't achieve alone. The masses don't need Google-scale, but if they can get the 15-year old mature distributed systems tech almost for free, there are several reasons to standardize.

I'm not sure that follows. When you buy a company, one of the things you're acquiring is that company's reputation -- for better or worse.
Ah yes, indeed they were accurate. I should have been more explicit about widespread agreement as to what the precise time that should be accurately measured actually is/was.

I am also interested in a SaaS collab. Preferably bootstrapped since I believe in product/founder/market fit and honest evaluation via MVPs.

I've quit my day job and am going solo full time in February after 17 years as an employed/consultant backend dev and in recent years mobile developer. I have several ideas that I will evaluate but am also open for other projects.

I could drop you an email to connect.

Exciting times ahead!

If your girlfriend refuses a proposal due to lack of diamonds, you have chosen badly. However, its pretty reasonable for her to refuse if she's dissappointed, so you need to discuss in advance that her ring won't be a diamond. This could be awkward, or worse, it could ruin the surprise.

I got pretty lucky in that I read the article before I met her, and told her about how bad diamonds were early on. That meant we had the discussion years before I proposed. She had diamonds stamped in her heart too, but we compromized, and I went to huge effort to get her an amazing ring.

If the ring is amazing, she'll be OK, and so will her friends.

(My wife points out that she has friends who would have said no, on the basis that if the suitor wouldn't do what she wanted for a proposal, he wasn't the right guy for her. This may sound douchy, but the proposal is hugely important to (some, maybe most) women. So maybe I just got lucky.)
To some Christians, the fact that the mail was delivered late last Thursday heralds the apocalypse.

I'll never really understand how some people can be so enthusiastic about the end of the world.

What makes this project even more incredible is the fact that it's written in C# under .NET 4.0 using IronRuby for the parser.

Yes it says Mono is supported, but why? Windows is the least run environment for either of these languages (Ruby / PHP). Were I to guess, I'd say this was a dare that it couldn't be done, and if that's the case, then hats off to the owner for doing it.

Agreed. Living in a functioning society, in the "western" world, is pretty nice and I'm happy to pay for it.

But, having to spend a day or more every March, or pay a CPA a few hundred dollars, is infuriating. My taxes aren't that complicated - two upper middle class salaries, a normal (for dense suburb) mortgage, and no kid at home any more (he flew the coop 3 years ago).

Outside of the years we were impacted by AMT (a whole other rant), the IRS knows exactly what we earn, what we've paid to date, and determining our mortgage obligation should be trivial (submission from bank to IRS or similar). They should just mail me an index card that says "your good!" or "you still owe $1200" or similar and that's that.
If he could not find any suitable recipients in time, yes, he should have vaccinated his own children. Still better than throwing it away. Selling it for profit would be something totally different and should absolutely be treated as theft. But vaccinating anyone, even his own family, is better than throwing it away. Of course to prove he's not abusing his position to benefit his family, it's probably wise to document his efforts to find other suitable people. But if he can't, just use it on anyone. That's what the guideline says, after all.
> and many other things that 1 percenters have made for us?

Jesus christ, this has to be satire. The people "making" these things are not in the 1 percent. We don't have to look up to the elites in gratitude because they deigned to give us their magical gifts.
Sure, we're actually hiring all over Europe for engineering positions, and in US for sales and solutions engineering, though most of us are in Poland currently.

To be honest, it's as hard to find good talent as anywhere, but there definitely is a lot of good technical talent in Poland. There's also a lot of engineering offices of various big companies here. A nice benefit being we can offer very good salaries in comparison to the local market.

Our candidate-finding process is basically HN as well as recruiting agencies for now.

As for the hiring process itself, it’s an intro interview, take-home assignment (2h) and finally a technical interview where we ask the candidate to add a feature to the assignment. Overall, 5 hours tops.

Remote work has definitely been a great success so far, nobody's really missing the office. We're mostly hiring mid-senior engineers currently, so folks are usually able to work very independently of each other, other than the occasional pair-programming. It's been really fun to play with the VS Code remote pair programming features too! (check them out if you haven't yet)
OP: "It is a Django site using Pinax and GeoDjango. ... simple and edgy design"

Actually, this sort of site it really useful to people, especially if it has a better design than default Pinax.

An unexpected benefit is that if a lot of people use your software, than a small percentage of them might be willing to pay for improvements and support, which you can push back to the core and use to support further development.

This is what is done by Eldarion, the contract shop that includes core Pinax developers. This is also the business model used by Chris Wensel, who developed Cascading.
Nope, unless I read something of his in a collection and forgot about it. I'll check him out.
Of course they did. This is a two-birds-with-one-stone situation, I imagine: "free" money (don't have to give up any equity) and free marketing at the same time. It's win-win for them.

This is not how it works. If you make it available to EU users, you have to comply with GDPR (at least when it comes to those user's data).

For the same reason WhatsApp's new T&Cs don't really change anything for EU users.

However I don't think the collection of contacts is actually illegal under GDPR, considering WhatsApp does exactly this too. And it's huge in Europe, much bigger than in the US. if they haven't gone after WhatsApp for this, they will probably not do so for Clubhouse.
1) 20 years is a small sample size

2) The US has enjoyed the status of the world's reserve currency since 1945, which literally means the gains of the U.S. stock market are partly financed by the whole world (note that we used to have a net surplus with other countries pre-1970, but now run a deep deficit and have off-shored our domestic manufacturing base - as a result of needing to get dollars out into the system)

3) Most stock market analyses on the US stock market are done in this 1945-now period when the US has been dominant on the world stage; it's a long time in an individual's life but a short time historically. If that changes, I expect lots of things that were "always true" to no longer be true anymore.

That is all part of the reason prices stayed high - until there was a genuine update.

There's a brilliant theatrical moment that neither reading nor listening to this play can ever quite re-create. In the final act, while characters from both time-periods are sharing the stage, Augustus/Gus (the younger brother in both time-periods, played by the same actor) comes in the door, and for a moment you don't know which century he's in.

This play is one of my go-tos for an example of what theatre can do that film and television cannot. Because theatre depends on the audience's imagination to create its reality (more so, or at least differently, than film), more than one reality can be simultaneously present, and time and space and distance can be collapsed.
Most people making active trades right now are certainly gambling, but has society really left them much choice? They can't leave their house, and boring investments are significantly underperforming because the government has committed to low bond rates and printing enough money to dissolve your mattress savings and prop up equities at all costs. Add that real estate is insanely expensive (also a consequence of artificially low interest rates), and it shouldn't be so difficult to imagine why even intelligent people are playing the short term trading game which is approximately zero sum. It seems like the only way to get ahead, and it kind of is true (even though most will fall further behind).

It was HARD to read through this whole article, but I did it anyway and I totally disagree.

The argument that private companies are already tracking you doesn't exactly hold up, you don't have to install Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Messenger, Google Chrome, or whatever else on your phone.

I fondly remember the days of using Borland Delphi, and then Embarcadero RAD Studio, to build fully-functional GUI applications in a matter of hours. As a teenager, no less.

You had great libraries like Jedi/JVCL and various data binding layers that would allow you to assemble highly complex UIs.

Of course, today's technology is so much better in so many regards (code quality, security, proper backend/frontend separation, UX, to name just a few), but I wonder if it'll ever be as easy as it felt back then.

It's hard for me to imagine that people wanted to be sacrificed, but that's my own biases and cultural conditioning talking. How I see the world, filtered through centuries of colonial oppression and destruction, is irrelevant to understanding how they saw the world.

"Sublime Text is better compared to Notepad++, Notepad 2, Gedit, SciTE, Emacs, and Vim, which are all open source software and extremely popular."

Fair enough. I use ST2 like Coda/Espresso/Brackets for my own front-end development b/c of the app's agility and abundance of useful plugins for the front-end.

Keeping Atom partially closed source, again pointing to historical marketability, could give it more credence among developers of both ends. There's a reason closed source, proprietary editors are so massively popular vs. open source editors which often can't seem to get meaningful market share (whether Enterprise or Sole Proprietor/Freelancer).

That said, I really wish an open source editor, on the front-end specifically, like Brackets or even Notepad++ would become something I want to use more than ST2, Coda, etc. but there's always something missing.

Atom has potential as a partially open source editor but it remains to be seen. I'll need to be drooling in order to truly make a switch.

Awesome article.

> The value to huge communications networks isn't in making connections but in avoiding making them at all.

The social networking startup I'm at is focused entirely on that problem. It's taken a lot of work to have the scope of possible interactions be the entire network, while at the same time, limiting the interactions to any given user to just those with a positive value.

Since the algorithms are not omniscient, we also have a ruthlessly efficient feedback mechanism whereby users can indicate when they have received a negative value communication with just a single swipe.

There's tons of interesting problems in this space. :)
It's a shame. I'm glad this was published. The public needs to be educated!
Hmm, re-reading your earlier comment again, it actually doesn't seem to make sense after all...

Who wants to eagerly track my life? I'm confused what you mean here.

Is GitHub meant to be "eagerly" tracking my life? As far as I'm aware, and what I stated was - they seem to be mining for usage data.

It's the same way that www.github.com has GA enabled, to see what pages people go to.

Is my life more interesting that I think? =)
