Have you ever hired or met a great developer named Mohamed?
My name is Mohamed and i live in the Middle East. It's a very popular name worldwide, yet i haven't met another Mohamed in the industry. i'm constantly told by Westerners in the industry that they haven't met a Mohamed with tech skills. i find it funny but is it true?

Nope.

(Although in fairness some people called him "Mo". He was very productive and prolific and increased the group's revenue. This led to the obvious jokes about how Mohammed was his profit.)
Because a country is home to all its citizens, limiting internal immigration like that is stealing bits of the country from other citizens. And since doing that is illegal (I'm guessing in most countries), you'll have to conquer those bits by force... at which point you'll just have a new, smaller country.
I know this doesn't help people who already have that notion that everything should be fast and simple, but why is it that some people just "can't find the time" to feed themselves? It's a basic premise in life. It's like not finding the time to shower, to sleep, to have sex, to brush your teeth. You make the time.

Cooking doesn't take long. At all. You can prep an entire week worth of meals in 1 hour. Refrigerate them, freeze them. We have thousands of years worth of food preparation and preservation technology. Cook on Sunday, eat until Saturday.

As for being expensive: again, it isn't. If cooking at home was expensive the world population would be 2 billion tops. Poor people cook at home because it's the only way they can survive. If a woman in Paraguay working two jobs can do it and feed her family, so can you.

> it's about providing a convenient, nutritious, and (relatively, compared to fast food) cheap source of nutrition for those times that I don't have social obligations and I don't want to/don't have time to cook something for myself

You can fix yourself a sandwich using good products that is just as nutritious. Most people don't even need to eat so much. It's very easy to have good 1500-2000 kcal a day with regular food that you prepared quickly.

Soylent, to me, is simply about people who want to "hack" their bodies and be on the futurist side of things. There's nothing nutritiously advantageous about it, nor is it cheaper than cooking for yourself. But somehow people make the assumption that it's either that or eating the very worst food known to man (McDonald's or whatever). It isn't.
> ... they do everything except figure out how to make money. They love the idea of being a business, but not the actual work that comes with that territory.

We should call them "cargo cult businessmen".
No, that's precisely what you said. If I have not the money to execute, then I deserve to have my idea taken from me. That is what supporting the idea of knockoffs taking a kickstarter product means.

There was just no room in the design for it.

Replacing USB-A would hurt backwards compatibility.

Replacing MiniDP would lead users to expect Thunderbolt 3 functionality

Replacing the proprietary power/dock connector would brand it as a cheaper second-class device along the lines of the non-pro Surface 3
My phone prompts me for access before it trusts a USB device, my computer loads drivers for it, sometimes without prompting. This seems like the opposite of the situation you describe.
I am convinced now that these micro frameworks are not the way to go (in my very humble experience). CSS is super easy and simple. And unless you want to support IE, it's not nearly the main pain point, especially in contrast with JS which has room for much more trouble.

A week of genuine effort in learning the small nits and bits of CSS will go a long way.

The reason why large corporate entities becoming the state is less of a problem than the actual state is because of competition.

I called the cops three times in my life (Romania), the first two times I was told "not my job" (public drunkness instances), the third time someone's life was actually in danger. They told me they're going to show up... half an hour later, I had to leave the place; they hadn't showed up. (And they never called me back, so they probably never bothered.)

I cannot fire them for that. I cannot tell them "I want to hire another company". That is the problem I have with the state. I actually don't want to bother with defending myself - I am more than willing to pay someone else to do it for me. But if the state claims to do that, I cannot go to the competition when they don't do their job.

I think this is a bit naive. Private companies are allowed to compete in the marketplace no matter how big they are. Have you noticed that FB has been systematically implementing most of Snap's features over the last year?
Soylent isn't marketed that way.

It is marketed as a most-of-the-time meal replacement.

Am I wrong?
I think that's true in places like (large parts of) the US where the "last mile problem" exists. However for lots of rural Africa, China, Australia there surely must also exist a "first 1000miles problem".
I would modify that slightly and say Litecoin is back because of the Lightning Network, which benefits greatly from features provided by Segwit, and which itself leverages payment channels backed by multi-sig addresses. While Lightning can be enabled without Segwit, it's far more trustworthy with it, than without it.

>It's a little fuzzy because you can have opensource projects that make money

As I see it, the purpose of copyleft is not to prevent anyone from making money; if someone does want to use a copylefted work to make money, they'll just have to play fair and release their source code under the same license.

In other words, what copyleft prevents is predatory use of "open source" which involves taking eagerly without giving back.
The Merkel case was denounced by an infosec outsider during a local security event. The local government/news played down the shock and made sure that no real (legal) consequences would happen. Would therefore say that collaboration still happening, perhaps not so voluntarily with the new gov but doesn't really differ much.

More worrying is the dark fiber backbone between Frankfurt and Darmstadt and the satellite uplink from both space agencies placed on the same city. Plus the fact they keep hiring more contractors to work on that specific location. If critical networks are monitored, civilian networks stand less of a chance.
This comment is kinda silly. Like, the problem here isn't Soylent, it's that you were depressed. And the problem with your friend using Soylent to watch her weight isn't Soylent, it's that she ate more of other crap when she drank Soylent as a meal replacement.

I drink Soylent occasionally -- once every two or three weeks, maybe. Normally I use it if I know I'm going to eat a huge dinner, or if I ate a giant lunch and don't need to consume many more calories in the evening. It works great for me.

Yes, if you misuse Soylent, it will not be a good thing for you. That goes for, like, everything.
Too bad for those people, but healthcare is a fundamental human right.
Doing this very often. Abstracting the background noise and conversation is a skill that can be trained.

It's even better in public libraries, because the noise is 10x lower than the typical open-space environment. You also make random encounters which usually turns out great.

The only things that could be a blocker is music with vocals, for that I use earbuds.

I tend to think of different places like psychological anchors, each one good for a particular type of work.

Moving physically itself is a powerful reward for accomplished tasks.
>meal replacement formula

I've noticed many people mixing up "supplement" with "replacement". For example, Ensure (the commonly cited "alternative") is a supplement - not a replacement.

In fact, FDA regulation differentiates between "dietary supplements" and "food". Go ahead and research how Ensure is classified then compare that with Soylent.
>I have no idea why no one bothered to make a nice gui for this feature

Getting off-topic, but this remark can be applied to most aspects of Linux OS's tbh. We developers are too comfortable with the shell on Linux, whereas with it being such a pain on Windows, the devs themselves are more inclined to write small GUIs left and write to solve their problems.
Vietnamese here. I don't think your explanation is correct.

First, most of the Viet-Cantonese words are likely brought by Chinese migration since the 15th century. When the Ming dynasty fell, many Chinese fled to South Vietnam and helped Viet people annex that land from the Cambodians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoa_people

Second, tt's true that we "might" have lots of connections with the ancient Yue people, but this is still in debate. Just like the Romans called everyone on the other side of the Rhine "Germans", the Chinese of 2000 years ago called everyone south of them "Yue", even though they can be different tribes or nations. Being named the same thing by the Chinese doesn't actually mean anything. Genetically we have many similarities with the people of south China, but the history of vocabularies can be more complicated than that.
I would much rather do any other enjoyable thing, than stop doing that thing, to eat.
That's a really interesting question, and the best answer is: You have to write this manually. The SQL/JDBC/jOOQ layer can only generate system exceptions, like a constraint violation exception in this case. But there are many different types of constraints, and many different things that a constraint violation can mean. Only you and your service layer can possibly know how to translate such a violation to a meaningful (localised?) user error message.

Having said so, you could hook in an ExecuteListener into jOOQ to handle errors in a single location:

Those other folks paying do get the benefit of a well educated, healthy, stable, low crime society.

One can look at health care type spending as a cost, or an investment.

The cost argument generally boils down to "voting in free shit." From the point of view of those able to pay, it is free to those who aren't. From the point of view of those not paying, they see others getting wealthy, and able to get wealthy for their efforts and a productive, capable society.

The investment view boils down to demand, which also presents two ways:

One way is demand not backed by liquid dollars. People want and need stuff, but cannot participate in the markets for lack of buying power.

The other way is demand backed by liquid dollars, real, effective buying power.

The more of the non participating demand there is, and the more it goes unmet, that society experiences generally lower standard of living, instability, higher crime, etc.

We want real demand, people able to participate in the markets.

Investments in the people do that, which frees dollars for them to spend, and it improves their capability, improving on their ability to produce.

You may ask how an economy grows.

When people take risks and borrow, banks make new money as the risk is valued. The investments in people help to improve real demand, which lowers risk, increases success. Each success increases the money supply, and that increase is backed by the value created when the risk was taken.

In a very real sense, "free shit" is actually a smart investment everyone does benefit from, even those paying.
Eating is a complex process, usually intertwined with social interactions, stimulation of multiple sensory organs, and activation of jaw muscles and blood flow. I think by short circuiting many of those processes, along with possibly the negative nutritional aspects of Soylent and my mental state back then, I was suffering as a result.
Software needs to be maintained. You don't create it and stop updating it. Last time I checked, people who develop sofware cost a lot of money in salaries and other demands. Servers which hosts the system also need to be up 24/7. That's another cost. Maintenance of software costs more than the building phase.
USB-C chargers can of course pretend to be whatever they want, including an infected USB stick.

> That's the first type I think. The second type is the more HN-style professional programmer.

nah

> As a small P.S. to this, I think the middle ground is using the GPL for actual end-user applications, but leaving libraries and developer tools completely open with something like Apache-2.0 or MIT.

Thats closer. Non-reciprocal licenses are fine for projects that provide no value themselves. But for everything that provides direct value, reciprocal licenses like MPLv2 or GPL are better suited.

> What I don't understand: the REI market is the one place where Soylent is inarguably better than any other product in its niche, and nobody seems to give a shit about that.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "better".

SAR is a niche within a niche. I can totally understand why Soylent is 1000x better than other options.

But most backpackers are doing it for fun. Reducing weight and space is great, but there are plenty of much more enjoyable meals that are only marginally heavier/bulkier.

At least for me, cooking a good meal before bed is my favorite part of the day. I'll happily carry an extra pound or so to make that happen.

TBF, a lot of purely recreational backpackers care less about the pleasures of life. The type doing 14 hour days and so on. But that's a small market, and all the folks I've met on trails who are doing that sort of thing tend to be pretty price sensitive. Young folks with few savings taking a few months off work don't have three months of Soylent money ;-)

Free web applications and free FLOSS have lead to people not valuing software you are right. If there is much good software and services available for free, why should I pay?

As a developer I have bought many pieces of software to make my work easier: Git Tower, Kaleidoscope, PaintCode, Dash, Reveal, Charles, Acorn, Paw, are what come to mind right now. I perceive all of these tools' value to be high.
It works for me. The noise of a cafe blends together, whereas at home the occasional out-of-place sound is a lot more significant.
> I think many people approach Soylent as a way to solve some of their problems, but people should realize it won't be and can't be.

You are saying your case (and that of your friend's) apply to everyone. I've lost a lot of weight using Huel (a similar product made in the UK), because it makes calorie tracking incredibly easy and allows me to avoid thinking about food except when I specifically choose to eat something.

Just because it wasn't suitable to you, and your friend didn't find a use for it, doesn't make it bad for everyone.

My experience with Huel was that it allowed me to reset my relationship with food to a more healthy one. My analogy is music - in the past I sat down and just listened to music, sometimes with friends. I still do that, but now I have a phone with me all the time, and headphones, and I listen to music almost all of the time. It's a constant, background thing, rather than (only) a special event.

Food had become something similar for me - I wanted to be eating all the time, to always have some flavour. For music, that relationship wasn't a problem, but for food, it has meant I'm overweight.

So I tried Huel. I don't think about food most days now - I drink, I drink a given number of calories of Huel (helping me lose weight).

Then, sometimes, I go out and eat something really nice with friends or family. Or I just feel like something and I make something nice. I still enjoy food, but it isn't a constant thing.

Now, you could do a similar thing with a normal calorie controlled diet, and in fact I did by using a calorie tracking app a few years back - but I didn't stick with it because it was hard, because every time you go to make food it's a tempation. Avoiding food entirely made it easier for me.

It's definitely not for everyone, but there are plenty of use cases.
>I could be inclined to use GPL if I made some end user application rather than library code.

This very much mirrors my own preference.

For popular end user applications there is a clear motive to do proprietary forks with extra features, which would lead to the original open project either lagging in features or having to spend effort in recreating the features of the proprietary fork while the latter can continously take any new features from the open project.

For libraries/frameworks however, there is little if any real incentive for proprietary forks since it will be hard get developers buying into that.

Considering how far removed from its "natural" source much of our food is, I don't think Soylent should be looked at with much skepticism. Additionally:

> Calcium carbonate is the most common and least expensive calcium supplement. It should be taken with food, and depends on low pH levels (acidic) for proper absorption in the intestine.[26] Some studies suggests that the absorption of calcium from calcium carbonate is similar to the absorption of calcium from milk

When I worked from home I did something similar to what a previous poster has said. I would go to a cafe in the morning and work from there until lunch, I found I needed some humans around me for at least part of my morning to focus. Then after lunch I'd go home and work until 6 or so then go to the gym. Just doing this, the feeling of coming home from the gym, allowed me to have that mental space from work and home time.
Difficult. Building the app won't be the end of this game and anyone in the US that can build an app is likely already hired.

My advice is that you try upwork.com and divide the path to build the app into steps of 50 USD each, paying for each step completed and follow yourself the progress.
> I feel we've lost ourselves in the freedom of users and forgotten about the people that make the applications for the users.

First off, thank you for acknowledging that permissive vs copyleft licenses is a trade-off between developer and user freedom. So many people claim that one is strictly less restrictive than the other, and that's simply not the case. So, which style of license you should choose is a question of who needs the freedom more.

In my opinion, users have very little control in the current state of computing, so I am inclined to release as much of my work under the (a)GPL as possible. I think that's worth a little developer frustration.

I'd also like to point out, that this is a moral issue more than a practical one. It applies equally to my stance on things like limiting the power of law enforcement.
I have, but often the dev went by their middle name or some other anglo-ized name since (as you point out) Mohamed is a really common name. I've worked with people named Ali, Amir, Bahar, etc who's name was Mohamed Ali or Mohamed Amir.

The promise of the "electroceutical" approach is localized neurotransmitter release: you want to enact increased ACh in the body (and localized within the body, if possible) but not in the CNS, where it would likely result in undesired side effects.

You see the same phenomena in reverse with drugs intended for the brain (e.g. for treating depression). The severe side effects of those drugs are because the same neurotransmitter receptors involved in mood in the brain are involved in digestion in the gut.
No kidding. Since when is 500 words restating a one-sentence question considered an 'article'? Reads like a book report by a 6th-grader who forgot to read the book.
