SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes.

To be more serious, it's not that the artist has more insight than the audience, but rather the arists initiates a dialogue with the audience intended to /raise questions/, possibly to arrive at new insights.

To quote Picasso, apropos of a technology discussion board: "Computers Are Useless. They Can Only Give You Answers."

Art poses questions.

Modern Art as we know it today is the freest field of human inquiry. There are no restrictions, really, on subject or medium. It's completely open. Of course, for that reason, it is the least secure in what it communicates.

All other human endeavors of understanding have internal restrictions, for good reason. Math, science, history, scholarship, they all have rules that defines what is and what is not valid, relevant information and understanding.
With these restrictions, you get certainty and definitiveness.

The modern field of art, being free from such constraints, can address more topics in more varied ways, but in exchange for that freedom, it gives up certainty and focus. The question "What is Art?" cannot really be answered, and is actually irrelevant to the field itself.
Perhaps I missed it and the article already covered these, but a few other major tips that I doubt anyone would disagree with:

-Eliminate distractions. Any external stimuli subtract from concentration and "processing power" for your task. Even the possibility of distraction can put your brain on alert for them when they're not present, so best if you can create an environment which is free of distraction generally. This relates not only to your office/work environment, but things like going into DND on your phone and IMs.

-Work in large, contiguous time chunks (and then take breaks; see next). For complex tasks, it takes a while to "spin up". To load all the context, to explore possibility branches of solutions, to implement possible solutions and test them. As with distractions, very short work windows break this problem solving time up and require a re-spin-up period.

-Take breaks between longer work sessions. Taking breaks-- and in particular moving around while on break-- helps prevent fatigue, sustaining efficacy and productivity for longer windows of the day. Taking a break, especially wherein you change your environment (eg walking outside), can also help invigorate problem-solving. Finally, moving around is healthy for both your body and your mind.

I don't think you can make full use of your brain without following all of these as well.

In contrast, there is the community of a "useless language" (to quote one of its leading lights) that has never adopted [the] acceptance of paternalism as a requirement of espirit de corps.

imho some of the glaring shortcomings of the technology you refer to can be traced back to the very issue that you are highlighting.
I very much agree with you. Voting for one of the republicrat candidates might have short term gains (e.g., possibility of having Trump as president, if you dislike him), neither party, nor our elected representatives, reflects many issues that people say they care about in nationals and local polls.

I see voting for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson as being a long term play.
Yes but there is also abuse and or complexity that doesn't make it easy. One of the classic examples for me at least is OCaml's Camlp. For Lisp like languages it is easier to have a macro language but for typed languages I think it becomes far more difficult both to implement and understand.

A lot of people don't realize that Java offers a macro/preprocess like system (APT) and it is even sort of hygienic (an example project is Google's Auto [1]).

APT is not that powerful but it gets you quite far and going back to OCaml the new ppx language extension is actually fairly similar (ie annotation processing instead of a complete macro/preprocessing language). .NET has something analogous but even more powerful (IIRC as well as the whole access to the AST aka LINQ style).

> Then you get IDE plugins for writing boilerplate (for, say, JEE). Then you end up with a XML preprocessing pass that writes Java code (XDoclet).

2001 called and wants it example back :) . Yes APT didn't exist for a while. Tangental but XDoclet sort of reminds me of Go's very weak annotation system. And again It takes time to get a macro/preprocessing engine right particularly for typed
languages. e.g. Rust has had some fair challenges getting this right and even their macro system is not completely hygenic IIRC.

Android is one obvious example. GNU Classpath is another. Avian is another.
I want to be careful here; yes, semi-coherent text generation is possible under the current state of the art, but there is no evidence right now that it 'on the right track', as it were, to solving the harder problem of binding semantics and language that you allude to; it may be the case that our current techniques for text generation, inverses of our current techniques for text 'understanding' (and I use the term loosely) are just sufficiently powerful to pick up whatever signal is available from the surface-forms of language, but the information is too scarce, the entropy too high for that next big step of 'why'
Is there any evidence for the provenance of this list?

Yes, I can see why a deflationary shock can cause behaviour that is individually rational but destroys the economy in the long term. I do not see why there cannot be a steady state with no growth. Presumably if this is widely accepted by economists there must be a standard textbook reference that you can give me?
So with that Brave, BitGo and Coinbase get to know it all? Or do I have a new pseudonym per site? How does this prevent all my transactions being known to the parties involved or even the whole world?
In my experience the "ca you just..." solved a lot of problems cause very often developer (me included) start thinking about edge cases and uncommon scenarios before even solving the main path and sometimes a "can you just..." put the focus back on solving the common problem/path before thinking of that edge case that could be solved in a second iteration (divide and conquer).
The other good aspect of the "can you just..." is that it force you to explain your motivation and the details that made you out rule the simple solution and that could help solving the problem.
then, if your ego do not support a "can you just", it's your problem not the other guy as it's never meant to say I'm better then you but to engage the discussion and help solving an issue!!
Slightly clunky names are fine as long as they're somewhat cute or clever. Names are important because it's how we identify and remember things, and a catchy name (even if it seems a little ridiculous or clunky) is better than a boring, banal name if the catchy name is memorable.

I'll take PostgreSQL's name (which I consider clever) any day over some name completely devoid of originality or thoughtfulness, such as most of the names Microsoft uses for its software.
Last time I looked at Brave, it was replacing some served ads with its own ads. I do not think that's ok.

China – Authorities arrested 10 members of the Wooyun ethical hacking group
I'm pretty surprised at the HN comments and sentiment here of "if the athletes don't like it don't participate." It is a clear monopoly by the IOC. The IOC is a business. The athletes are the talent.

Look at any comparable business and the talent makes a way bigger % of the money, actors in the movie industry, musicians in the music industry, professional athletes in NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA etc. These are all "jobs" that people would gladly do for low pay just like the Olympics if that was their only choice. Does that mean that the other industries are overpaying their talent? No imo. It's reasonable to expect that the people that provide the talent and a large part of the value to the industry deserve a large portion of the rewards.

Professional athletes and hollywood have strong unions to fight for fair pay(they used to be exploited for low pay), the music industry is a semimonopoly and does screw artists, but at least there is some level of competition. If you don't like one record company you can always switch labels.

The problem with the Olympics and what makes them so valuable to begin with is their rarity. They only come around once every four years. A top tier athlete may only make one Olympics in his/her lifetime and perhaps as many as ~three. Are you really going to organize and "holdout" for a whole Olympic games with your fellow athletes to maybe better the financial position for all your fellow Olympians? It's one thing to sit out a season when your expected career is 10 seasons and you may only have to sit out 1/3 of one season, it's entirely different when you may have to sit out your entire career. The athletes are being exploited because

1. IOC is a monopoly

2. Their careers are short

3. It's too risky to organize because the risk of not competing is too high. They've trained so hard to get there, to not compete is not really an option.

4. Olympics only happen once every four years.

It's a very similar situation as the NCAA except for #4. If you want to make it "not about the money" that's fine by me, make tickets to attend these events cheap or free, let any network cover the games(why does NBC get a coverage monopoly?), get rid of the endorsements and ads, make all the IOC "volunteer" administrators unpaid, but it's never going to happen. When coaches and administrators are making millions and the talent is making close to zero, the talent is clearly being exploited.

I'd expand the jar to include "Simple" alongside "Just".

I have learned over the years that Simple means: no one has spent time thinking about it.

Simple means you are going to have to implement it alone, and take business decisions that aren't yours to take (and have to maintain the associated unstable code). On top of that people are going to question your abilities for taking so long.

I remember using logo during elementary school a bit later (late 90s), the computer room was full of old computers, not sure if they were MO5, but the keyboard looks familiar. I loved it. I was so happy when, back home on windows 3.1, I could open my drawings saved on a floppy disk.

No third parties

I've always been curious about this. I'd definitely pay $25/mo if it was distributed amongst the websites I visit. Bonus points if it would distribute it more heavily to the smaller sites than the bigger ones.

A third party doesn't actually don't need to win. If a candidate does not receive a majority in the electoral college I believe the house / congress decides[1]. This would also pretty much destroy both parties - they will have to compromise and come closer to the middle.
