I get it.

All the things that you mention can in theory be fixed over time.

The stuff I'm talking about is not for the next 6 months. It's not very meaningful to compare it against the current tools and landscape.

I can almost imagine a similar conversation in the past.

Someone saying "MAYBE ONE DAY WE CAN FLY!" and everyone's like "BUT OUR HORSES CAN ONLY JUMP 2 METERS HIGH! It would never work."

I understand your comment from a pragmatic point of view but none of those problems are big or important enough that we couldn't fix them in other ways.

Throwing away a rich structured piece of data and trading that for a dumb line of characters that needs to be re-parsed just so that it's easier to use logrotate and tac with them and so on is a losing trade.
This article hit home for me, really hard. To the point that I'm considering writing an email to the author, which is something I've never done before.

I don't have a mental illness, but I watched my roommate / best friend in college succumb to schizophrenia, and the university's reaction, at an Ivy League institution. And the paragraphs this author wrote there are 100% spot on. If anything, she could have been much more vitriolic, but I think wisely chose to not delve into that issue, for risk of detracting from her major points.

The thing is, though, its most certainly a socioeconomic issue. I remember for years, I used to drive 4+ hours to visit my friends at Rutgers University. My friends there didn't have those same attitudes as the Ivy League. The people there didn't have that attitude. I often used to genuinely wonder if a certain percentage of the kids I knew from the Ivy were genuinely taught that sort of behavior as some sort of corporeal manifestation of ideal capitalism or something, because it just seemed inhumane, and I could never square how it could naturally arise without being taught.

Even now, 10+ years later. Most high school friends have drifted away, but I still keep in contact with many of my collegiate friends. And out of all the friends I've made since, my collegiate friends, the ones I've known for over a decade, are the only ones that have that sort of calculating distance the author describes.

But perhaps I digress.

The 'technical critique' tricks felski is advocating against are also bad anthropology -- if literary critics deny the experience of the reader and deny an analysis of the writer's experience, background and techniques, we're not left with much.

Anthropologists have 'Verstehen', a term which has gone through a lot of iterations but used to mean that you should be careful interpreting the meaning of a ritual from an alien culture. Critics' rejection of the inner life of readers and writers alienates them from the art they analyze.
In China, 6 day work weeks were officially sanctioned until the mid 2000s. It was quite weird that everyone would work on Saturday when I visited beijing the first time in 1999.
As someone who knows nothing about Improbable and SpatialOS, would you mind elaborating?
Microsoft documentation was mentioned earlier in this discussion. One of the things that MSDN and TechNet doco does is have both "X reference" and "using X" sections. Manual pages are reference doco, in this way of organizing things.

The FreeBSD, TrueOS, and related worlds put the "using" doco into what are often called "handbooks" or "guides".

* NetBSD Guide: https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/

* FreeBSD Handbook: https://freebsd.org/doc/handbook/book.html

* DragonFlyBSD Handbook: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/

* TrueOS User Guide: https://www.trueos.org/handbook/trueos.html

* PC-BSD User Guide: http://web.pcbsd.org/doc-archive/10.1.2/html/pcbsd.html (viewable off-line directly in both PDF and HTML forms in /usr/local/share/pcbsd/doc/)

Some parts of the Linux world do the same. upstart had the Upstart Cookbook for example:

* http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/

The Linux Documentation Project was supposed to contain a wealth of this stuff, but large parts of it are seemingly moribund, and incomplete after decades or woefully outdated. Wikibooks tried to take up the slack with an "anyone can edit" Guide to Unix and a Linux Guide:

* https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix

* https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux_Guide

If you want examples and doco that works from the basis of what you usually want to do, then these handbooks and guides are the places to go, not reference manuals.
The Ruckus R600's are my go-to. I've done several offices and retail installations with those.

A close second is Xirrus, their APs are a bit bigger is size and look like oversized smoke detectors though. Though, if you work in events they are perfect: Controller built into the unit, and they have weird configurations of radios so you can deploy 16 directional radios on one device. Great for conferences where you can setup 2 of those in the corners, turn off the radios not pointing at the guests and have total airspace supremacy.

I'll add something I wish I had realized several years ago: build a SaaS is not the only path to a product business, and for a solo founder, it's (in my opinion) probably not a very good path.

I spent 5 years trying to get a micro ISV off the ground which made scheduling software for hair salons. It was a terrible idea for a large number of reasons (described in detail here: https://www.jasonswett.net/im-shutting-down-snip-heres-why/) and I never made more than about $430/mo.

My opinion now is that info products are a better way for a solo founder to get started with a product business. The reason is that a SaaS product can take a huge amount of effort (perhaps pre-traction effort, which is risky) to get off the ground whereas an info product business can be started with a tiny "guide" and then expanded outwardly from there, keeping effort in proportion with traction the whole time.

My current business is AngularOnRails.com, an info product business. In its third month of making money, it made $1580, over 3 times what the SaaS made at its peak. Here's a detailed income report: https://www.jasonswett.net/november-2016-angular-on-rails-in...

that project did not exist since i switched to colemak only recently, and that made my evil-mode setup (vim editing on top of emacs) completely unusable for me, which is why i started this project.

That is one side to the coin, however if you made a change that was a performance improvement yet the code was highly cryptic and hard for anyone else to understand then this wouldn't be a good thing.

Essentially what I'm getting at is that peer review from team members is the best metric for what is good and isn't.
> Start off with machines, they're safer. When you get stronger use free weights as well.

I'm skeptical of this advice. Getting stronger with weight machines (which build strength in the big muscle groups well, but isolate them more than free weights so that you don't develop the smaller muscle groups that are important to stability and control) before switching to free weights means that with the switch you'll either be wasting time using free weights at a level that doesn't challenge your large muscle groups or be more dangerous than if you'd started them on day one of lifting.
You didn't answer the question. How does that make money? If it's about killing IRC, who's paying for that?
You can also view this more charitably: I think people advocating for UBI far away from the workers it would affect don't realize how patronizing and aggressive it is. If somebody has been working a job for thirty years, a difficult, skilled job that people depend on, and is then suddenly told "here's your allowance, now study hard" by someone who was lucky enough to get their studying out of the way when they were a kid, it's not just "hurting self-esteem," it's directly destroying their source of dignity. Moreover, those in power control the companies that they can spend their basic income at, and the elite institutions they'll need to suck up to if they want to enter that world: the income enables survival, but there's no real power there. If you go to "middle America," you'll find an awful lot of people willing and happy to find new jobs that require "changing their interests" and "challenging themselves intellectually," but face constant setbacks not just financially but from distant organizations that don't see their potential. People don't want the same job their grandpa had, they want a job--not a couple dollars to keep them alive and powerless.

Slack introduces video calls
If it takes 100k LOC to manage your user logins, I doubt you can really put it behind a "simple" API. You're still going to have intricate details that everyone needs to know, but now you're adding all of the issues of networked communication and (often) allowing teams to use different languages/stacks/etc which prohibit inspection to understand the system they're calling.
> US is not really a competition, it is relatively unfriendly to foreigners, very hard to move there.

Which is why the immigration volume into the USA is more than 10 times greater than China?

> There are many Chinese who stay in US after finishing their studies there. China wants those educated people back.

Sure China wants those people back, but those people want to avoid the smog and are rather happy with the public education system for their (more than one) kids. China has a lot of problems to fix before it can stem the brain drain.
I will try to answer your questions as I have seen both sides of the fence.

I initially used Visual Studio (around 2012) and really loved the power it gave me. I never felt slow or inefficient until I saw a screencast about Apache config that used vim and I was amazed to see how the person could simply jump to places he wanted. So I set out to try vim. I switched it for all my hobby work but it didn't catch on. So I went back to Visual Studio and in 2014 I thought I should give it another go. This time I started by installing the VsVim extension for Visual Studio.

This is how I got good with Vim:
- In the beginning (I think 2 weeks) I only focused on using the motions (word, next character, paragraph, blocks and regex motion), common commands like d, c and R.
If it helps I saw a screencast (one of the Vim London meetup videos) which broke down Vim into a grammar to be thought of as "operator + count + motion".
I also slowed the key repeat rate to make sure I don't hold arrow keys to move. DISABLE ARROW KEYS IN VSVIMRC.

- After around 2 weeks I got comfortable with that and switched to pure Vim whenever I could. You can set up an external program to call up on the current file in Visual Studio. I also learned to touch type in the next 2 weeks so that I could reap more benefits.

- After a week of moving to Vim, I started writing my vimrc with things like colorcolumn, autoindent and other simple stuff. I also installed relevant text object plugins [1]. I installed some language specific plugins and started reading the :help pages. :helpgrep is very handy. At this time I think I felt I was back to my old productivity level if not above it. It took around 3 weeks I think.

- I then proceeded to learn about jumplist, named registers, location list, differences between buffers, windows, splits and tabs and how they are INTENDED to be used. It took me around one week.

- At that point I simply started looking at some Vim screencasts [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9].

CONCLUSION:

I am more productive in Vim when writing anything other than C#, F# or Java. Visual Studio excels in that department.
I debug NodeJS in VSCode.
For all other things I use Vim and am noticeably faster now compared to other editors.
Although yes, I really miss Visual Studio a lot when using Vim. But thankfully Visual Studio has the great VsVim plugin.

Here's some harder news:

Michigan officials say they can not reconcile vote counts in 610 of 1,680 precincts, or 59% of the precincts, in Michigan’s largest county , Wayne County, which Hillary won by a margin of 2 to 1 over Donald Trump because the original vote counts in the poll books do not match the number of votes in the machine printout reports.

Specifically, the number of votes recorded by the voting machines were higher than the number of voters that were logged into to vote in these precincts.

Not the same thing exactly, but I'm able to run 2 ecommerce sites with non-trivial sales volumes, by myself.

The two biggest things that make this possible:

a) Email support only, no telephone support (sales or post sales). Not everyone likes it, of course, but if you're determined to be a one man band, it's essential.

b) Automation of every single thing you can. For you, it would be a different list, but I had to automate things like refunds, tracking numbers, inventory levels, fraud detection, etc.

Also consider having someone you trust have access to documentation, passwords, accounts, etc...in case of some kind of emergency, etc. If it's making money, it would be a shame not to be able to pass it on to a beneficiary if you were to die unexpectedly.
I read it and will say this. QWERTY had competition including speed competitions and there were no vastly better technology then. Right now there is no study that shows QWERTY is substandard to other layouts in a measurable way.
VM as dev environment?
We use openwrt as the foundation for our router software. Personally I use ubuntu for my dev machines. Problem is nearly every ubuntu upgrade breaks the machine requiring full reinstall.

Its has happended enough times to be an actual issue. Im thinking of using VM so i can have easy backup before upgrading.

Just wondering if others do this and what their expierence has been like? Pros and cons

Thanks

I couldn't even find the group after I made it to send the same people another Snap.

Maybe it's just me but I've always found their UI confusing.
Exactly. The only thing needed to configure when starting out is disabling of arrow keys and low keyboard repeat rate so that you don't do wrong things like holding down keys (arrow keys, delete, backspace etc.). Holding down keys is a Vim anti-pattern.

I switched to Colemak years ago, and I still love it. It helped remove my tendonitis, and improved my typing speed.

The odd time I use another computer I hunt and peck. My phone is still qwerty too, but it seems to not matter at all, since its not touch typed.

When I first started learning Colemak, I simply used a regular qwerty keyboard, and ignored the labels on the keys. Now I love my mechanical keyboard with cherry mx blue switches, with a custom Colemak key-cap set.
I can corroborate; I have the new 15", 2.6Ghz version and spent the weekend before last playing Civ while travelling. With the brightness settings on low, native resolution and all game settings on low, it took 1 hour and 26 minutes for it to go from 100% to shutting itself off.

I was just as surprised as you are. The laptop got uncomfortably hot as well. I was very disappointed and had to purchase an inverter on the road to use my adapter.

> For most people they need a significant diet change to see any effective changes

That's true for weight loss. It's less true for health. Increased activity level with calorie intake also increasing so that there is no net weight loss often still results in better fitness and health and lower body fat. Its often far from ideal,especially for people who start off obese who will still probably hit an equilibrium at an unhealthy body fat level, but its still quite possible to.achieve significant improvements.
> Chrome is closed-source (though based on the open-source Chromium project so it can nicely claim the associated kudos of an open-source project).

My impression is that there aren't any closed-source bits in the browser itself (i.e., there are no proprietary patches to Chromium code), it's just the Google account integration, plus things like Hangouts or Cast or whatever which mostly take the form of extensions, plus things like the Flash plugin.

(Also, that compat page looks very non-monstrous; the vast majority are just aliases for non-webkit-prefixed names, and of the remainder, nothing is anywhere comparable to CSS filters or XHR. Is there a reason this exists for the -webkit prefix but not for the -moz or -ms prefixes?)

Our organization purchased a license with Survey Select (https://selectsurvey.net/). I've used it a bunch of times and it seems very powerful but not user friendly (very complicated UI/UX).

I recommend reaching out to other health organizations within Canada as they often collect survey data internally. For example, surveys get used for feedback for presentations/educational sessions all the time. With the exception of Alberta, all provinces have separate health authorities which would mean separate contracts/sales cycles etc, however they are usually of large size so it would be worth it financially.
