Just read a couple of the background stories on the page, bookmarked and subscribed to the newsletter, great site!

I've been working independently as a software developer for three years, I have customers all over. I mostly build websites/webapps, everything from server setup to fiddling with bootstrap and JS. There is definitely a lot of money to be made for good independent developers. Select good customers, prove you can deliver and build your customer base from there, increase your rate as your skills, track record and customer base improves. Build a cash buffer to handle dry periods!
These strategies can allow governments to bargain down the cost of products to the marginal cost of production; the only problem is that if every buyer does the same thing, the supplier goes bankrupt (as it can't cover its fixed costs). This strategy also doesn't allow for any earnings to be retained for product development, and discourages investment in the field but those are separate issues.
I think it is because of the .md extension. I have LICENSE files (no .md) and they are picked up correctly.

It's really efficient under shaarli's typical workload : really few writes ans a lot of read => almost no IO, everything stays in the filesystem's cache.

There are a few annoying things about ST3 which aren't so on Atom

- no engagement with the developers. For $70 I expect to be able to file bug reports and maybe some feature requests. Without being banned.

- multi file search is ridiculously poor. I can't save search patterns, the long text box with all the file patterns is hard to navigate (on OS X if you put the cursor at the end it starts scrolling), but most of all the result pane doesn't stick as it used to. I have to search again every time I click on a file from the results then close it.

- copy and paste is STILL buggy on OS X. Sometimes you paste a string and it puts it in the line above the one where you have your cursor.

- package control is not included. It's just common sense

- the scrollbars are invisible on OS X. I don't want a minimap, it used too much space and adds too much noise

- I use BracketHighlighter. Every time I want to customise the highlight colour it's a royal pain in the neck because of ST3's crazy architecture

I'd much rather use atom these days.

This is why the US is where it is. Anything pointing towards any social programs - something that benefits not only you but also your neighbor - gets shot down using the Red Scare.

Europe's social welfare programs, universal healthcare and free education don't make these countries "socialist" or "communist". These countries are still capitalist market economies with a few critical aspects about people's livelihood regulated for accessibility.

As long as the response to these ideas is always "but that's communism", it won't ever improve.
Not an expert, but I am pretty sure that the idea to make non-paid, voluntary work that is inspired by a sense of community illegal to strengthen some 21. century understanding of workers rights is the straight up opposite of a Marxist utopia.

I think the key is

> There is no "signing up" when the deal is both illegal and unfair.

If behaviour does conflict with lawyers or philosophers opinion, individual autonomy is to be stripped. (Therefore no agreeing, signing up, etc.) If those people disagree, people are just exploited socketpuppets for a political agenda. Maybe that's Marxist cynicism.
Thanks, a perfect example demonstrating how corruption kills.

Stay optimistic? How about stay realistic? Lets not dream of fantasies but rather attempt to make accurate predictions unfettered by the biases of optimism or pessimism.

There is a line that can be crossed if I make a prediction and say that by 2100 humanity will become as powerful as Gods. That statement is ludicrous when judged by common sense. It is not unrealistic to the say the same of having ALL diseases cured by 2100.

IMHO they don't have a clear enough focus.

In terms of being a cloud service for photo storage, they can't compete with Google Photos, iCloud and other mobile services that have the benefit of being more deeply integrated and available as a default on their respective platforms.

The social network aspect is obliterated by Instagram, Snapchat and the like.

The photo reselling part I'm not familiar with, but it seems to be lacking in a similar fashion.

In short - their high point was the time when they primarily catered to photographers. All three aspects of the service were useful for that crowd and perhaps if they kept that position and developed advanced features that appeal to that particular crowd, they could have remained strong. But once they started reaching out to the general public, they alienated their original audience and at the same time failed to compete with (originally) smaller services that provided a better experience in each specific field.

That's the way I see it.
I share your sentiment about the buggy software and the unresponsive devs; I moved to Atom for the same reason.

However great Atom is though, it's unbelievably slow and nearly unusable because of that. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a better alternative since.

That's not the point. The way compensation works, usually, is that you say, "if you do well, we'll pay you this much", where "this much" depends on how well the person does. You can't change your mind post-fact, "well, anyone could have done this well, so we won't actually pay you this much".

Please note that that $27 for autoject also include wide margin in it (manufacturer, distribution, retail, etc). And epinephrine at volume is essentially free, so $30 seems to be a good estimate.

Not it really is not. You simply use whatever fits your needs.

how do you think this effort puts thousands of people at risk?

if you download the instruction packet(o) it comes with a Links.txt file that has a link to an instructions video.. which at the time of writing this comment can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFFJRdhVs8 ; i suggest you watch it

all of the components are 'off the shelf' and the drugs are prescription

from this(i) ~random site epinephrine costs 74.95$ for 30mL, the instructions call for .3mL, that is 100 uses from this 75$ vial, or 75 cents of epineprhine per epipencil

when i read the article i thought this was a great effort that could save the lives of anyone who was unable to bare the new price of the epipen, but now i am wondering what from the epipen warrants the price tag? can a loved one even sue epipen if it malfunctions and kills the intended user?

I second that, along with .gitignore handling I also terribly miss having new and changed files (in git) highlighted in the sidebar, which Atom has out of the box. They have a lot of feature requests for that, since their sidebar API doesn't even allow package developers to add it, and just like your case, it's the only feature keeping me from going back.

I think I read that too, but I am not sure that this is actually true. Please correct me if I am wrong, according to the Rust developers code generation seems to be the bottleneck. That's why they are working on incremental compilation to improve compilation times. They detect changes in the input files by comparing the AST to the old version. So parsing is always necessary but later stages can be cached. That seems to confirm that parsing is not the bottleneck, at least not for Rust.

OTOH that probably also depends on your use case, JS for example needs to get parsed at every page load. Some JS-VMs only parse the source code lazily, at first the parser only detects function boundaries. Only if this function is really executed, the function gets parsed completely.
Probably because you don't suffer from life threatening allergies.

you may have been downvoted for making an unsubstantiated claim that most people don't know when their CPU is running at 100%
I wrote a VM for the 6502 for fun and it was one of most interesting and satisfying projects I've ever made in my free time.

It is very close to a bytecode interpreter, only that it comes with a specification that is actually the opcode list for the MOS 6502 (and few details you need to take into account when implementing that CPU).

Besides there are cross-compilers that allows you to generate 6502 code from C for your specific VM (see cc65).
> So Go and JS are similar in that they are designed for heavily asynchronous tasks. But they do it very differently: Go has hordes of green threads "goroutines", JS has callbacks all the way down.

concurrent tasks =/= asynchronous tasks.

A big difference is that Go doesn't force you to write asynchronous code for I/O operations, JS engines like nodejs do and it's a pain in the ass. Go only says : "If you want to write concurrent code you can do that", while NodeJS or browsers say :"Any I/O operation needs to be asynchronous and explicit".

If I call an API in Go, I don't have to care whether the computation will be executed in the same thread or not, or in 10 different threads, provided concurrency is encapsulated the right way. There is no amount of async/yield/promise that can mask any I/O operation with Nodejs on the other hand.

> As annoying as callbacks can be, they do fit the model basic GUI model very well:

This is a design decision. Gallium could have used channels instead of callbacks.

I agree with a lot of your points, and I can assure you that many of them are on our to do list including removal of the need for forward declarations. However, I very much disagree with your assessment of Nim's macros, what exactly makes them "really really clumsy?"

I have worked with them a lot and they are very powerful (if a bit verbose), despite this I was able to write a fairly nice implementation of async await and just last weekend I made writing both synchronous and asynchronous IO code much easier using a ``multisync`` macro[1]. This only took me ~100 lines[2].

It seems to work pretty well. I can understand how this is far from perfect so far but the thing that bothers me the most is that there is no apparent caching mechanism and even though my internet connection is pretty fast it will take a good 10-20 seconds to go through all the links. Once you have determined a site to be clickbait or not maybe cache it so i don't have to wait 20 seconds every time i come back. Additionally this will save a lot of bandwidth.

You've no idea what you're talking about.

Renaissance technology is a quantitative trading company, meaning they use computers to trade; they probably do thousands of trades per day, and consistently make a profit. There's approximately 0% chance that it's just luck.

Now, you might say, they were lucky to stumble upon a strategy that works. You can also say that the strategy will stop working at some point (because of competition), so their "luck" will run out, and they might not get "lucky" in time to find a new strategy. But their past performance was most definitely not just "luck".

Btw, in most other professions (e.g. the arts, technical inventions, sports) we call this kind of "luck", "skill".

They can, but that is not what all of them are doing.

They realize that if they only cover marginal cost, and don't allow for development, they will only get the right product for a limited amount of time.

What often happens is that they agree on a more realistic price that will allow for that.

In many cases the company will go low to still be the supplier for a whole country - especially as they can still keep their margins in other countries, like US.
