I think lostcolony didnt explicitly mention it, but it's not the concern about ops lifecycle of one $5 box. I agree with you, that's easy. But "what if" it suddenly NEEDS to scale more than a $5 box? Now your engineers need to rush to put together an HA solution, load balancing, etc. is it worth planning & building that for each microservice, or is it better to just deploy code to a scalable platform?
I suppose I must have seen those options and thought, "I might as well build it myself." I stand corrected!

I'm talking about Shannon Information specifically. In which case, acres of whitespace and gradients very much are information. Calling them "whitespace" and "gradients" is a significant act of compression in and of itself.
To be honest, I thought it would be in the 20% range, so 5% + processing fee sounds pretty good in comparison. From the perspective of funding software, I'm mostly thinking about indy game devs. Game portals can take up to 50% of the sale price.

From a business perspective, the processing fee is (I guess) incurred by the payee, so that's unfortunate, but I have difficulty thinking of a reasonable way to avoid that in any case. The 5% service charge that Patreon takes should be be an expense for you, as a business. Then you have to pay for marketing and advertising, so you're not going to walk away with more than 80% of the payment no matter what you do. At least you have the opportunity to directly balance the marketing/sales effort against the income (which is not something you can do if you are trying to sell through an existing sales channel -- they will advertise as much as they want and you will either like it or lump it). Patreon also gives a limited form of marketing by featuring projects in the newsletters they do, so that's a small benefit as well.

As a remote contractor that works in another country, I'm fairly well acquainted with bank charges :-P Most banks will happily charge you 6% for foreign exchange, and then still charge you $20 (plus a percentage) to transfer funds to another bank. It is (information) highway robbery. Like I said, 5% to actually provide a valuable service is refreshing.

P.S. For anyone in Japan, funnel all your money through a personal account in Shin Sei bank. You can thank me later. Not associated with the bank in any way, other than to be enjoying reasonably priced ForEx.

Edit: To answer your question, Tarn Adams has been sustaining about $7K a month from Patreon. He is likely an outlier, though.
I love your zines. I have a pack of them here waiting for distribution at our next meetup here in Brazil. Thanks a lot for the hard work, it is very inspiring!
"it demonstrates that exact relationship."

It doesnt "demonstrate" ANY exact relationship, because you put an anonymous function in it! All it really demonstrated is you were considering salary as preposterously simple function of labour supply with no other parameters.

You basically just wont be told that your math was very blatantly bad, resorting to accustations of unreasonable complaint and now passive aggressive badgering.

How many careful replies have i composed to try and gently explain to you that you should check your use of math? If you dont wish to feel "badgered" just get it and/or quit replying.
Navigation is another thing we are focusing on for the next several months (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/ux/strategy/). In the next release, we are simplifying it (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/26200). We plan to continue to improve upon our navigation and information architecture.

My mistake. I was suppose to read your comment, a comment on an article with multiple paragraphs dedicated to the health and safety of Tesla workers, as if it were not a response to claims about the health and safety of Tesla's workers.

Got it.
Obviously it depends how much you make in each place.

The argument most miss is that if you buy a place in SFO, that rent isn't throwaway, it's equity.

Yes, terrible urban design and bad infrastructure and bad policy is pervasive in the USA.

You can just look at neighboring Mexico with 1/6th the per capita income and correspondingly lower public budgets where transportation, urban maintenance, and quality of city life are routinely better. And not just relatively better: Mexican cities (outside the shady border region) are nicer than American cities to live in. If you could put a typical neighborhood from Puebla or Guadalajara or León or Mexico City into Dallas or Los Angeles or San Jose or Atlanta, it would be the best, nicest neighborhood in the city.

And that's not even bringing up the great cities of Europe at all. Because that would be completely unfair.

It's like the health care system: Even a great country does some things horribly wrong and suffers for it.
True, but F5 is still extremely popular with medium and large companies.
Hm. Size is mere size. Latency will never improve with a "big data" solution over one machine with in-RAM data. Dependency management? You're going to declare it once and impose it everywhere anyway. Scheduling? Again, one machine with in-RAM data will always win.

That leaves resiliency and etc. I can't answer etc., but—how is resilience helped with a big data solution? That seems like Lampson's distributed system: more machines, but you need k-of-n, k>1. Better to just mirror to two machines with the data in RAM.
There were some insider events called Camp Smalltalk clustered around the year 2000, where people were saying to each other that we lost the battles, lost the war, but we won our cause. So many of the ideas that went into Smalltalk became mainstream. Java and then C#/DotNet was the validation of that. People continued to say this at other conferences.

Consider that IDEs are becoming every more tightly integrated with their their client programming languages

You should take a look at Smalltalk "IDEs" some time. There's hardly anything there! The meta level is so easy to access, along with the compiler. The debugger is mostly just an ordinary Smalltalk application. In VisualWorks, a good coder can start writing a debugger and be browsing stack frames from real exceptions, literally within minutes. A warty but fully workable Class Browser could be finished by one coder in a week. There is no "tight integration" with the language. It just seems that way because almost everything is just an ordinary first class Object.
Very interesting.

I would suggest swapping the current structural aesthetic of "come in and look around" for the somewhat more widespread approach of having one or more calls to action and making the homepage fully sketch out the points you want to make.

FWIW, I say this out of pragmaticness. I don't mind the "welcome! browse!" approach myself, but it won't appeal to the demographic you're trying to reach: people who themselves are being paid to eat/sleep/dream modern web design.

Another thing I would recommend is using every single trick in the book to make the site fast. For example you could get ServiceWorkers caching everything for future visits (with maybe AppCache on top just because) and use the HTML5 history API so you can preload all the site text (say, in an XHR that fires after page load) and use that to make it feel like navigation is superhumanly fast.

TL;DR, use this as your playground to learn how to make sites load better. Voila, the site will be stupidly fast, and it will self-describe too, which is kind of cool. And you'll wind up with a bunch of knowledge you could use for consulting... and then you could use the site as the home base for that, which would be even cooler.

Awesome, thank you very much! Love the zines!
It's not about size or fanciness. Urban areas and housing have significant air, water, and noise pollution.
It absolutely does matter, because the beads that are tuned to radiate particular frequencies of infrared will also be tuned to absorb those frequencies as well. If the frequencies aren't transparent to the atmosphere, you'll be reabsorbing just as much as you transmit and end up at equilibrium with the atmosphere.

It is essentially similar to the way in which you can freeze water in a shallow dish on clear nights that are nonetheless slightly above freezing temperature - you are facing a black-body radiator that is well below ambient local temperature.

Rankings are also affected by the amount of comments and downvoting but when you see a story that should be on Page 1 on page 7 (at the moment) it seems overwhelmingly likely that it's flag abuse, in this case by the musk worshippers.
No, I'm claiming that intelligent, conscientious people are more likely to be wealthy. There are many studies that support this.

I'm also sharing an anecdote that many people who have the opportunity and resources to go to college, waste it. That's an anecdote from my own experience of going to a state university. The point of sharing it wasn't to tar everybody who goes to state universities, but to point out that there are people who will waste opportunities that they're given.
Right it is the taste and the experience. Part the reason we collect wine is to just have lots of stuff to drink over time and see how it is.

Drink what you enjoy!

I have a ton of wine but still love going to Trader Joe's and buying every random bottle I have never tried and seeing how it is. Thats the fun part.
Mechanically, it doesn't work for the reader to inhabit the head of, say, Dumbledore. First, Harry as outsider lets the author introduce new concepts like magic gently and slowly so it's relatable to the reader, and secondly part of the reason you choose first-person perspective is that it lets you keep the audience unaware of the big picture until you want them to see it.

The fact that he ignored your preference and didn't bother to communicate why tells me he's not a type of person who could benefit from your "correction attempt"; since that could affect your interview the risk reward ratio is bad here. I wouldn't do it.
I guess if you only value ideas by the money that ends up in your pocket in the end, then sure, ideas a worthless and execution is the only thing that matters.
Safe code isn't allowed to segfault.

And yet you still won't engage with the core argument about the immorality of violating the principle of reciprocity. I get it. You think I'm wrong. You have to either make an attempt to change my mind or simply stop replying.

If you don't care to engage with the idea then I don't care to continue.
The problem is that review complexity is quadratic in size, and quadratic in number of interacting parts.

Each thing can interact with each other thing (in theory), so if you have double the diff, you might need 4 times the amount of work. And the increased workload increases the risk of a mistake.

But splitting up the diff in two doesn't change the result, right? The reality is that everything doesn't interact with everything else. But the reviewer doesn't know this, and needs to confirm non-interaction (hence a review).

If you, as an implementer, know the divisions, then shipping the pieces that are independent will do two things. First, it makes the review easier, letting it serve its main purpose: catching errors in implementation. Secondly, it will let _you_ confirm you know the divisions. It could be that your conception is wrong! Your small diff might not work because of an interaction you didn't realize.

Personally, I think that by the time you're sending diffs, the general architecture should have been decided. We tend to have at least one person (not the implementor) who knows how a feature is going to be implemented, so the architecture can be confirmed. You want someone to be looking at the forest! I think that doing this during code review is a bit harder though.

Taking the time to do it right is hard, and chopping things up makes it easier to do "it" (implementation review) right. Architecture review should probably be happening in a different space.

On a social level, you are asking for your code to be reviewed. Please have empathy for the reviewer.
How does this compare to xe.com, which I have used in the past? They're a canadian company, been doing this for a long time, low cost.

The problem with remote, at least for me, is the visa. Being remote-only is nice for traveling around but the sad reality is that you will always be a non-citizen no matter where you go. Even if you really like a place, you will be working from there mostly illegally and can never fully integrate into local things that require bank accounts, IDs and friends. That was maybe the thing I disliked the most when I went completely remote, but for a year or two it's for sure awesome.

In my particular case, I want a company that is remotely open, but sponsors a visa for city/country X which could hold a tiny cheap apartment and a space to call home. But in my case these countries I want to call home are Japan and Korea and now try to find a remote company there.
Heartily agree!

In California alone, there are over 4,000 wineries [1]. It's hard to buy genuinely bad wine here.

If you can spend ~$8/bottle and take the opportunity to sample stock from stores like TJ's, you can find delicious wines with excellent (enjoyment/$) values.

I was watching a documentary on an early christian sect (forget which one) the other day who believed that the earth/physical universe wasn't created intentionally but the result of a great cataclysm on a higher realm of existence.

They were better than Smalltalk, not in terms of the language, but in terms of availability to developers...Smalltalk during the time it could have risen, had no free implementations and cost a fortune to use.

There were literally per-seat licenses at $5000 and $10000 at one point. There were free implementations around the time when Java was new, like GNU Smalltalk, but it would have been better if those hadn't existed, because they didn't convey the benefits at all.

LightTable had YouTube to enable people seeing the benefit of the environment. Smalltalk could have really used that at the right time. That still wouldn't have helped, because the Smalltalk community didn't understand the network-effect benefits to the same degree almost any programmer understands them today.

Smalltalk could have been Java. Sun actually approached the owners of the VM to ask if they could use it for their early set top box project. They were rebuffed and went on to write what was to become the JVM. (Smalltalk becoming Java might well have resulted in huge early Internet security disasters blamed on it, because of the difficulty in securing the system, and the preference developers had for code signing as the primary security mechanism.)

That's a great explanation. I wish the article had put it in these terms... because reading through it, I kept thinking there was no way to cool the building to below the ambient temperature. But if you're equilibrating with space instead of the atmosphere, that's a whole different kettle of fish.
Normal history classes in the USA are nearly 100% about atrocities, from the large and obvious down to the trivial and questionable. Hardly anything positive is ever said about the USA. One might even get the impression, as you seem to have, that the USA is an especially evil country.

The reality is that every nation, every ethnicity, and every culture has been build upon a hill of skulls. As these things go, the USA has been less vicious than most.

Ok, I'll give you a serious answer. For an individual shipping a website, anything at all works. I'd guess that half of all websites that have existed are just a single person editing files directly on a webserver without source control, and that's fine.

It's another matter altogether to ship code with tens of thousands of requests per second and a lot of teammates trying to change it simultaneously.
Probably wouldn't be cost-effective, but it'd work in principle.

Waste of time. Sounds like an architecture astronaut. First he mentions Functional programming and then under imperative he babbles and then says this:
Actually, this "generalization" sound much more like the ActorsModel, which is no where near ImperativeProgramming, actually the actor model is much more similar to FunctionalProgramming than it is to imperative programming.

Just a bunch of incoherent CS speak IMHO.

If the registrar did something they were not supposed to do report them to ICANN and talk to your attorney. If after reporting the issue to ICANN and they are not found being compliant. The accredited registrar risks loosing their ability to register or renew any domains they hold under their account are normally forced to provide the original domain registrar (user that signed up to buy the domain) auth codes to transfer to another registrar.

a pete peeve i've had about "goal based programming": it always sounds like people are just arguing for a higher level of abstraction. is that essentially what it is? people always say "i want to tell the computer what to do not how to do it", and i feel like that ignores the fact that right now you are able to do that to some degree. in my chosen languages, i dont have to allocate memory when i make an array. isn't that me saying "i want an array, i dont care how you do it" and the computer obeying? help me understand how "goal oriented programming" is a difference in kind and not degree. to me, it just looks like an argument to walk higher up the ladder of abstraction.
I was really looking forward to a true 538 treatment of wine pricing data, but this is cursory and superficial at best. It would be fun to see how the first growths compare regarding appreciation and risk, or how they compare to the top grand crus from Burgundy (DRC, Leflaive, etc.), or whether Pommard is inflated relative to other premier cru in anticipation of promotion to grand cru.
I'm not a lawyer; this is not legal advise.

This is one of those questions that have 100 different answers. The first place to look for the answer is in the employment agreement the employee signed (if there is one). Also review the employee handbook for any notes.

Next look at how the IP was developed. Did the employee use any hardware, software, or anything else owned by company while developing IP? This includes any existing IP owned by the company that the employee may have built on. Write software on the boss's computer or on the boss's time then it belongs to the boss.

Next, did employee discuss IP with any coworkers on company time? This is usually not a big deal in the real world but something avoid if at all possible.

If you have those bases covered then contact an IP lawyer and get get a provisional patent. The lawyer will also review anything that is important for your jurisdiction.

Good luck.
