> I don't think I've ever met anyone in my life who, once confronted about the thing they did that annoyed me, in a civil way, kept doing it around me.

Which is why these tactics are how they are: You don't say anything until you collected or fabricated enough grievances to burn all bridges. It's precisely not about fairness (which would among other things imply single instead of double standards) or working anything out, that's the one thing that has to be avoided.
I have not yet properly begun freelancing (however I am working quite hard on side projects).

I was getting - more - overweight but since I quite the 9 to 5 I have lost 6kgs and it's only going down.

I'm not sleep deprived I sleep when I feel like it and wake up when it feels natural. I no longer get depressed on a Sunday night thinking about how I'm going to tolerate another week until I get a good chunk of time to myself again in the weekend.

I do what feels natural I work hard then take a nice quick shower, then lie down for a while, do more work whatever, I'm only accountable to myself. I can go take a walk around the park while thinking about how to solve a problem and that's a win win. I don't have to worry about the "perception" like you do when you are clocking in and out.

I was a bit afraid that I'm going to feel lonely however that hasn't happened at all. I'm saving my commute time and public transport cost.

I hope I can sustain this because I can really hardly imagine myself going back to an office 9 to 5.

And hell my job wasn't even a bad one by all standards.

I think my personality is deeply incompatible with the 9 to 5 life so I just with I never have to go back to it again.
Its easier in terms of organisation and more easier to deal with groups of people who speak the same language rather than a hodgepodge. Many in these groups are illiterate and have never written or read in their lives, it can be quite difficult to manage people when one doesn't even speak their language.

That sounds like you leak JWTs into your log files
Presumably the studio sends a master to Okko and then Okko transcodes it into various formats for streaming. Imagine an insider sets the transcoder to output 4K H.264 and then leaks the resulting file. It sounds like encryption won't help here.
Ah, the power of compounding.

What I really dread is having to use something like the Postgres mailing list, which is painful with conversations split between multiple pages and block quote formatted so it takes mental effort to even figure out what's the previous message and what's the reply.

This article describes how variations in intelligence has to do with parasite load and nutrition. May explain a lot of the lack of intellectuals and educated individuals in some countries.
" In the history of art, arts patronage refers to the support that kings, popes and the wealthy have provided to artists such as musicians, painters, and sculptors." (Wikipedia)

I spent a lot of years around musicians. It is painfully obvious that to make a living at music is hard. People who make music for a living generally do it not because "it is what I do" but because "it is what I am". There really is no choice (similar to some programmers).

When I was at my career income peak I decided that I would send a monthly check to my favorite musician. There was no expectation that I would get anything in return, it was "patronage". His music made me happy and his talent needed support.

Patronage is not a form of welfare. It is "voting with dollars" in some sense. More important is the idea that art enriches the world much more than it enriches the artist.

If you have enough income to afford it, write a check for $100 a month to your favorite artist. Don't expect anything in return except knowing that you are giving the artist more time to enrich your world. That money will pay for gas and food to get to the next gig so more people can enjoy the music.

Patronage itself is a lost art. Bring it back.
I eagerly await the consultancy 10, 15 years from now that introduces us to the concept of a 'release cycle'.

It'll make the astute observation that every git commit need not result in immediate user-facing changes; it'll promise relief by telling us that we don't have to get our code AND tests 100% correct on the first try, and it'll propose that we take time to understand requirements and attempt some design ahead of time instead of iteratively arriving at it as a result of all previous decisions and code changes that have occurred so far.

Though I find some elements of DevOps mentality to be a productive, positive change, I worry that the term has already been co-opted by promoters as it happened with its spiritual predecessor, 'Agile'. The last thing I want is a top-down dictat for 'DevOps' because it's the Great New Thing that lets us accelerate our timelines. Rather, I want a careful, developer-driven approach that helps us adopt practices that situationally improve our productivity and quality-of-life from the bottom-up.
Some of the projectors are connected to the DCP playback server via encrypted HD-SDI. The content is link-encrypted between the server and projector using Texas Instrument's "Cinelink" technology. If the TI "Enigma" module's private key was leaked, this would enable recording the plaintext SMPTE 292M video stream in real-time. The audio is un-encrypted obviously and easy to record, but it is watermarked so they would be able to trace back the recording to a specific KDM.
Rock is already gone, as the Baby Boomers turn 70. The real question for me is whether pop music itself will last much longer. It's only about 30 years older than the subgenre. At this point, it's all pastiche. There's nothing new anymore, just stuff that is slavishly imitating other stuff that its target audience are too young to remember.

Normally I would just downvote this kind of comment and this kind of article and move on. However because of your earnestness in educating people on the subject, I will not do that. Instead I will explain what is wrong with it and why it deserves the downvotes.

Quite simply the dbdebunked article is hard to read. Too hard to read in fact. It isn't hard to read because the content is complicated, but rather because of the organization of the content is poor. It starts off with a call to action to read another article and immediately follows it up with what appears to be somehow related but poorly referenced block quote. There was actually several triply nested quotes in there amongst other writing smells. Taking the time to edit is important.

When an author is writing for an audience it is their duty to be understood. Having the audience exert extra energy in reading because the author is unwilling to exert energy in writing is inefficient.

There might be something brilliant in the dbdebunked article, but I am unwilling to puzzle it out or subject others to it.
They already are.

On a more objective note, we don't have absolute measurements of intelligence, only relative measurements. The concept of one person's intelligence being a multiple of another's is meaningless without a lot of work that has never been done.
Interesting. I am contemplating the shift from Angular 1 to 2. It is so vastly different.
Launching new Bitcoin mixer for all your dnms
I tripped once years ago on an extract of morning glory seeds that a genius friend of my sister concocted. (Essentially lysergic acid amide, plus maybe some other alkaloids, look it up if you're that interested.)

There was no preparation as far as set and setting. Basically I was a chronic drug-using teenager who was trying something new. Took the stuff before a concert and began tripping during the opening act. Had a great time. Saw some weird shit. Blacked out for a while as usual because I was also smoking a lot of pot and drinking beer for hydration.

Somehow reconnected with the people I went with and got a ride home, with some intervening adventures on the way. Lay down in bed to sleep and that's when it got weird. Hard to describe and kind of boring if you weren't there (but you might have been! ;-))

Woke up the next morning still tripping balls. Couldn't stop it, got kind of scared. Called people and said shit I don't remember and that they still won't repeat.

Finally stopped tripping later that day, and was exhausted for another day. Found out later from the genius that the dose was roughly equivalent to 350-500 mcg of LSD (i.e., a lot).

Read The Yage Letters shortly after that. Haven't tripped since. Occasionally consider it since I've done a lot more reading and work in the 37 years since that experience, but now it's a hipster thing so it's embarrassing to admit. I mean, the New Yorker is writing articles about it. You don't even have to dig through a few different grungy bookstores to find a copy of the Beat take on it from the '50s.

So, probably never yage / ayahuasca, but maybe someday a tab of acid. Or maybe not. I'm a lot more self-aware and enlightened than I was at 17, but I think that's mostly because I've lived another 37 years and survived all the trouble along the path, not because I tripped once.

P.S. People had these exact same kinds of conversations on this topic 35 years ago.

Every odd browser performance topic is dominated by people claiming Firefox has been faster and more scalable than Chrome for years. Every even one is dominated by people claiming the opposite.

This thread seems to be the latter, my experience is the former. If you see bad performance/memory usage with a small number of tabs, are you sure that it's not due to bad plugins?

I think about:memory and about:performance could be helpful. I seem to recall they used to have some reporting on known problem plugins (perhaps as part of https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/plugincheck/).
Congratulations! Such a cool and useful project.

Any word on integration with React?
Why do you think so? If the patterns are relatively predictable and constant (which would be the case if they are programmed to issue some specific noise on a regular basis), Machine Learning will have very good accuracy and distinguishing what is signal vs what is noise. Much better and faster than humans, that's for sure.
Thanks for your reply. I think the quill.core.js option addresses both of these issues.
Stop subsidizing education? Do you propose this for just higher education? Or is it all education you'd like taxpayers to stop paying for?

Unsubsidized education either a) means more private loans somehow now exempt from bankruptcy proceedings or b) education is now only for those that can afford it.

I am the complete and total opposite of your position. How it is that we provide 12-14 years of education for free, but then burden the economy with an insane amount of unsecured debt for the last four is insanity. It places our economy at risk, it severely stunts upward mobility, it burdens our youngest minds with mortgage-sized debts, and it sinks people into a lifetime of debt.

If college is, in general, required to actively participate in our society, it should be paid for the same as (Pre)K-12.

Edit: I'd like to say that I agree that subsidizing activity as a direct pass through of money from government to for-profit enterprise is a bad idea. Don't subsidize for-profit colleges. But they were never needed to begin with.

Yesterday HN introduced me to a short story - have a read if you haven't already. You'll get a good laugh out of it.

Having spent literal years creating and maintaining large WYSIWYG projects based on TinyMCE and CKEditor, I can not sing the praises of the latest iteration of these editors highly enough. Between sidestepping contenteditable almost entirely and maintaining a behind the scenes source-of-truth they really have created a compelling and usable experience in all modern browsers. Something I always aimed for but always knew was another year of work away.

Tiny was actually a well written project and several of the maintainers were exceptional programmers and designers. I think they saw the way out but were never able to get there because of the sheer number of features they would have had to build parity for in order to ship something new. Not to mention the fact that 5 years ago old versions of IE would have still been in the picture.

Kudos on the project and 1.0 release.
Right now, I am outside the academic system, so obviously I only speak for myself, plus based on my knowledge from many years ago. Maybe the whole process has changed drastically - so please correct me if things have changed.

Even today, every single piece of publication already has multiple choices: a) be uploaded as an unreviewed PDF on the authors' websites - this grants the paper absolutely no credibility obviously, except it may have been written by a respected authority - and definitely you get no benefit as a researcher b) be sent for review, become subjected to copyright, but on most occasions where an unformatted (i.e. preprint) can be uploaded on the website with the express understanding that no one would ever cite that version because it is possible for content to change from that version to the final print version and c) be sent for 'stamping' as the authorized final version, at which point the trouble usually starts.

As you progress along each step, you are basically getting additional benefits - they are somewhat intangible, but for researchers these benefits do translate directly into the currency that they care about - acknowledgment of their work as a part of the citation graph (which then translates into career benefits). So no, the commercial publisher does not "reap all the benefit of this authority and brand value". The commercial publisher does reap all the tangible monetary benefits of course.

Very few authors would willingly submit themselves to the painful process of paper review if they felt someone else was getting ALL the benefits.

Your question could be phrased as whether the publishers get an unfair share of the benefits - yes they do. And do they use some strong arm tactics to preserve their ability to get gobs of money for effectively very little work - yes they do.

And "couldn't just the same thing happen with non-commercial free open access journals?" I think it will, I just feel the road will be quite bumpy until we get there.

I will assume for a bit that the vast majority of participants in the review system are academics. So, one of the main reasons the publishing process moves at glacial speeds is because many reviewers are time constrained academics. Nothing in the open access process will change that fact, but many people will be affected by the shift to open access - suddenly you don't even have an organization that can be held nominally accountable for speeding it up. Academics very rarely like being told what to do, and at the slightest sign of dissent against their handling of the review process, are more likely to stop contributing their efforts towards organizing because the rewards are not very tangible.

The OSS ecosystem faces similar issues and still gets a lot of work done at impressive speed - but remember that usually the top contributors in OSS have immediate positive feedback in terms of the adoption of the software (at least) but often much more tangible benefits such as acknowledgement of their efforts in public and VISIBLE forums, sometimes even employment. Very little of this is true for participants in the review process.

As I said, I expect the road to be bumpy.
Not really the beginning, but hopefully another big step. The USA was declared Malaria free in 1949 after a specific elimination project - it seems the CDC actually evolved from the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas, established in 1942.

> We're getting close from the technology perspective, but the storytelling and the "massive" portion of an MMORPG is still not there. Visually impressive, but the social interactions are dull and unsophisticated, without emotional depth.

However ambitious MMOs and virtual worlds get, I worry that they'll always run into the same barrier restricting their potential past a certain scale: the MMO experience is made out of people, and a whole lot of people are awful.
It relies on contenteditable. You can just paste any old thing into it — not sure whether some stuff gets stripped by the document model, but that's kind of beside the point. Once you use contenteditable you get a whole bunch of weirdness for free.

I consider jazz as largely a dead art form, and have for thirty years. It's more an artifact of its habitat - it doesn't much exist outside of the academy. It got a shot in the arm when it was fused with hip hop but that's pretty hard to do. I made the mistake of pursuing "fusion" and there was just no point in that at all.

It's not like it's being organically and spontaneously created at the Five Spot any more. If it is, it's because somebody decided that's what the "Five Spot" does, and makes that happen by force of will. I suppose a "farmed" version of jazz is what we have, not "free range" jazz. But bebop wasn't sustainable. And people don't drink three-martini lunches any more...

Classical is surprisingly healthy. Well, the performance part is struggling for funding.

There will probably always be something we call "rock" or "rock and roll" but it's probably in its 8th or fifteenth iteration now - these things last about five years, a canon forms for it and that branch solidifies.

I'm old, and I only learned actual rock-and-roll in the 1980s when I played with guys born in the '40s who still knew how. You can hear it in Keef and Charlie of the Stones. There's a hell of a lot of overlap between rock-and-roll and country music for the last 50 years.
this now happens on iOS but it's a relatively recent change, same for OS X.

This is cool, but the customer has to jump two technical hurdles: being able to pay with Bitcoin for the first time and using WebRTC for the first time. Perhaps the most likely customers are already fluent with Bitcoin and WebRTC. I have the feeling however that there could be a hundred times more potential users if the hurdles were smaller (or better explained).

Also, although I personally like the super-clean minimal web page, I imagine it'll look amateurish to the typical user. (Maybe this doesn't matter to the target audience.)

I'm curious if there's a way to accomplish those things without a single designated boss. For example, having coders taking turns every week or two being the person people go to for typical boss purposes. Of course some people just aren't good leaders or have no desire to be, so maybe some people can have a promoted status they get over time, allowing them to be in the "pool" of managers chosen on a biweekly basis.

There can be many factors to play around with. After everyone on a team has had the chance to be manager couple times, the team could vote for who should be the manager for the next month. Etc, etc. The idea is to still give a team the sense of control, rather than feeling that you're imposing a boss on them.
