Those outdoor workers probably ought to be wearing UV-blocking sunglasses regularly to avoid increasing their chance of cataracts:

My optometrist was quite emphatic about this because she said the damage is thought to be cumulative, so if you're going to have a lifelong outdoor career or avocation, the difference could be significant.
Ahhhh... Geo IP stuff. That's the reason that I can't get a lot of the local channels on streaming apps. :-P

I'm actually n hour north of Dallas, but pretty much all of the Geo IP products show me as being out in east Texas, usually Mount Pleasant or Longview. That's 150 miles from where I am.

As a result, I get streams coming from Shreveport, LA instead of Dallas, TX.

Not sure if there's a way to fix this.

The isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,

Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.

Pre-classical Greece is about the earliest period of the "West" we have good documentation for, and is tremendously "romantic" to study. However beware of thinking of Greece as the wellspring of civilization; this will lead you to overlook the Arabic and Chinese civilizations.

GNU projects belong to GNU/FSF

The only documentation that I see[0] about this just says "The program remains a GNU package unless/until the GNU project decides to decommission it.", but that's not a legal document. Assigning the copyright to the FSF would be a good indicator, but is not actually required to be a GNU package. So unless they have some other document to sign, then this seems to be a mutual contract which can be terminated by either party at any time. I don't know if that document exists (if it does, you'd think they'd link it on that page so people could review it), but if it doesn't, then I don't see any reason why the original submitter can't revoke GNU package status, like any other business relationship.

I feel like you've never owned nice clothing before then.

In every conceivable way, my $500 jacket is nicer than my $50 one. It's noticeably better quality of build, has lasted far longer, looks much better, and is absolutely much nicer.

That being said, it is absolutely possible to spend $500 on clothing which is identical to $50 or $5 variants. That's why you need to do some research before buying.

Luxury goods are not intrinsically bad deals. Probably my favorite purchase ever is a Briggs & Riley suitcase. I've been using it and abusing it for a decade and it still works perfectly.
> You can have a product built by a single person in PHP and if it catches itself in the wind it will become a multi-billion dollar entity.

I think this is both true, and doesn't really convey the whole story of what's needed. If it catches in the wind it can be successful and make some money, maybe a few million if you're extremely lucky.

To make tens of millions, you have to be lucky and aggressive, otherwise someone will copy your idea and add the aggression themselves.

To make it to billions, you need the luck, you need the aggression, and you need an extra level of luck to be at the right place at the right time to capitalize on a major change.

Facebook did it with social media. Myspace and Friendster were around too, but Facebook provided a clean interface and hit critical mass sooner.

Apple did it with the smart phone. They weren't first, but their product was better enough to distinguish itself when smart phones started really being worthwhile for the average user (while already a low billion dollar company, they jumped an order of magnitude with the iPhone).

Google did it with the search engine. They weren't the first, but they were enough better a the time that internet usage was really taking off that it catapulted them into a position of leadership in search engines, and internet starting pages.

Microsoft did it with operating systems, and was able to ride the wave of computer ownership and business needs to dominance.

In each case, I think it wasn't just the product, but also the time being just right that caused the success. In each case there were competing products prior to the market leader that weren't that technically inferior, and in some cases might have had some superior features. In each case, it's not just the timing that matter, but also that they aggressively capitalized on their fortune to expand and entrench.

I'm in a similar boat, although my sizes and distances are a little different from yours.

I couldn't wait for the 40" Phillips to arrive in Canada, so I ended up getting a Dell 27" 4K monitor (that turned into two once I got addicted to all the real estate).

I have my monitors side by side on a standing desk where the range of closest and furthest distance of the screen to my eyes is between 21 and 27 inches. I have the monitors running at native text scaling in Windows (my wife and friends look at my screens and think I'm nuts), so I am pretty close to the threshold of seeing every pixel. Granted, I have single vision glasses that I wear for computer use (combination of distance + presbyopia correction), and those glasses coincidentally magnify what I see by a hair.

I'd love to get a 55" 8K curved display as a monitor. Oh, the added real estate...

On the other hand, a lot of times when I say some feel good one liner BS I get dozens of up-votes.

It's definitely a good point. Dark sunglasses that don't block UV light can actually increase damage to your eyes, because your pupil dilates in response to visible light only.

http://healthland.time.com/2009/08/04/can-cheap-sunglasses-b...

However, the ganglion cells that influence dilation and melatonin happen to be mostly sensitive to blue light (~470 nm), so in theory this would only be a problem for LEDs largely concentrated at even shorter wavelength.

Does anyone else use something like flux or redshift permanently? These programs change the color temperature of your monitor based on the time of day, but I use them all day.

Otherwise my eyes start watering after awhile and get itchy and irritated. I think I must be sensitive to blue light. I used to set it around 4500 color temperature but now I lowered it to 4000.

Agreed. It seems that this is just because there's some precedence with the taxis, but that doesn't mean it should be expanded.

If Uber wanted to sell or give away data, properly anonymized and in accordance with their terms of service, that seems fine to me. But it's potentially quite valuable to Uber even in this state, and it doesn't really make sense to require a business to give them this data, any more than it would be to require other data-driven companies to do so. If it's not for public safety or something of that nature, I don't see why the government should really care.

I regard laziness, "less is more" and YAGNI as real virtues for programmers.

v-sync is a workaround, VRR is the solution.

As others have pointed out, there are numerous problems with v-sync — in addition to input lag, f you want to drive (for example) a 100 Hz monitor, the GPU will need to consistently deliver ≥100 FPS, or you'll repeat frames and introduce jitter.

This means you don't need to consistently hit 100 FPS to experience ≫60 FPS refresh rates (without jitter).
Apples and oranges - wee Is gui. Irssi is cli.

It's "wee" - so it's minimal. Does a good job for its niche.

Cli chat clients are more flexible, with all the complexity that brings with it - but they're usually robust. Command line graphics don't change much :)

gui ones less so, but learning curve is not as steep. That said Xchat is hard to compare to weechat again, as it's a full fledged gui IRC client, rather than a minimal one. (multi network, multi server, dcc/xdcc and scriptability) and it's robust in its own niche.

Been using irssi for years now, and can't say I know/utilise all it offers, but it's great to log in to my server and screen -x into my irssi session.
For me, you join them 10 years ago and never leave. The same people are still there, maybe some new ones joining every now and then. People find them out by other people asking them to join. My favorite entertainment is definitely this one Finnish music channel, where the chat can be hilarious at any given time.

In these channels there's people who've been there for almost 20 years. Sadly I parted ages ago from the channels I was chatting in the 90's. But I guess they're still there.
They don't seem to have made it to any of the common distributors that I've checked. My guess is that they haven't gotten the quantities yet where they can do that. The HiFive1 is only a few months out on the market and the only thing using the chip they had made. It seems to have done well (~1k of them sold in the crowdfunding it looked like). So I hope we'll see them start to show up soon, even if you can't get them in massive quantities yet.

Funny you mention that, because I've had the same issue with regular IPs. I use ipinfo.io a lot for my job and have noticed this intermittently.
Well, first, you should consider whether this is actually a problem. I've had coworkers worry about this sort of thing with Travis CI, Coveralls, CodeClimate, etc, the fear being that "they'll have our code and can steal it!!" Took some time to convince them that nobody working at Travis CI gives a shit about our spaghetti code (let alone making it run with no docs!)

If you've taken a hard look at your secret squirrel company stuff and you've decided that 1) these ideas truly are trade secrets worth stealing and 2) they need to be documented in detail inside the product, then yeah, you might want to look at some kind of self-hosted option.

I suspect however that 90% of these concerns are simple hubris, much akin to "sign this NDA before we talk about my startup idea."
You're actually making the issue worse by conflating burnout with simple... I guess laziness? In fact the whole reason why burnout is such a fascinating phenomenon is because it takes otherwise highly productivity people who do not hate their job and turns them into minimal-productivity people who do hate their jobs. That's nothing at all like you're describing.
To be fair, there are probably a whole lot more gang members than there are neo-Nazis, even if we widen that umbrella to include all racial supremacist groups with significant violent tendencies. Hell, throw in religious extremists for good measure, of all stripes, and I bet non-racially-motivated gangs still commit way more murders in a given year (in the US, which seemed like the context of this exchange).

Not that neo-Nazis aren't awful, obviously.
Not great ones. Most people who do eCommerce work for agencies, and their knowledge tends to be proprietary and a selling point of the agency. The people who know the most about different platforms... either work for the company that puts it out (and are bound by NDA / biased), or work for agencies (and are bound by NDA / biased)... so hard to get a real open dialogue going about eCommerce. Without equal footing... a community board would fall apart pretty fast.

And... of course, most eCommerce platforms have various certification programs / partnership levels so they aren't interested in giving away knowledge for free.

I think people are only considering part of the story with wine, food, coffee or any of these luxuries. The price does not reflect only the intrinsic value of the good. I may pay 30 dollars for a bottle of wine because I like the label or I like the wineries story.

If you ask someone who bought the 30 dollar bottle of Vodka that cost 10 dollars to produce and paid 400 dollars you will get a million answers of what they think it is 'worth'.

Appreciate the thorough response. Sorry to have been somewhat glib: I've just run into a few too many folks who argue that SS solutions are as easy as "lifting the cap".

I think voters (especially the high income voters who would be affected) aren't likely to be fooled by the employer/employee split, even putting aside those who are self-employed. And raising taxes on a whole bunch of "moderately" high earners in deep blue, high cost-of-living cities isn't particularly popular even with Democrats: They worked hard in the last go-round to push President Obama to only end the Bush rate cuts for the "truly" wealthy households at $400K+.

I also think you're slightly over-estimating the money available over the cap: There are presumably many more households with two earners closer to $85,000 each than households with one earner at $170k, and SS taxes are collected per-earner.

A little calculation from here...

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/chartbooks/fast_facts/2016/f...

...suggests that the total taxed income base of Social Security is around $6.4T. Total AGI is somewhere around $9T, so 1% of the difference is $26B (and of course that AGI includes capital gains, so that's all you can get in total with both tweaks). Maybe another $10B or so since the taxes could come off gross income rather than adjusted gross.

Anyway, it's certainly not impossible to make the numbers work, especially if the economy doesn't go into a Trump-induced tailspin.

I'm with you on that. I run a pair of 27" 4Ks at native scaling, and I feel like I'm looking at a 10 year old monitor.

27" was about the smallest screen my eyes could tolerate at 1:1 scaling - I was driven by real estate more than sharpness. All other things being equal, I'd prefer a pair of 27" 8K monitors so that I can get my 4K equivalent real estate with crisper text.
