In other tumultuous times, the dot com days, there were many examples of people simplifying all the rules about when to trade or what they could trade, by ending their employment. I did not take that route but many did.

I was remarking that when the future has many variables and you want to simplify, that can be sufficient motivation to leave a company.
I open a tab as an (internal) signifier that "this might be interesting". I will browse it, and cull the ones that dont fit my interest/mood/timescope.

For me, it reduces cognitive load. I don't keep in mind all tabs that I have open -- that's why I keep them open! To forget about them.

Bookmarks are mentally for things I want to save and reuse. But I'll probably open 40 HN sourced articles (from the main page and comments) per day, and continually cycle/review them for interest/effort throughout the day.

An important note: public key cryptography allows secure communication over insecure channels, where an adversary only has the ability to listen in, but not over untrusted channels, where an adversary can actively intercept messages and edit them.

The internet is an untrusted medium, since packet switching requires packets to travel through routers that can edit them at will. (The fabled man in the middle attack) This is the whole point of the certificate issuer public-key infrastructure, where issuer public keys are included in your OS's installation files, a secure communication channel. (If you can't trust your OS, you of course can't trust any communication made with it to be secure anyway)

Same here. I just couldn't write software for 8 hours a day and then go home and write software. Now that I'm retired, I've been able to contribute to open source (but at a very leisurely pace).
Or that you don't know which tabs will be useful until you open them, and your qualification process is multi-pass.
I'm in the same thought as you about this. IDE's are designed for one common purpose: Efficiency. In fact, everything that has to do with software engineering drives towards efficiency. This appears more like a pet project than a product with a vision of solving a specific problem.
Serious example: learning a new subfield. You start with the general article in wikipedia, trying to get a gist of the field. Cue 20 or more wiki pages for new terms and ideas. As you learn the terms, you get ideas and have to see if they have been done before. Cue up another 20~30 tabs of searches. Eventually start looking at articles. Each one has 10 figures which can be opened in new tabs for high-resolution viewing, and about half of them have supplementary information which is best viewed concurrently. Add transient personal tasks, email, any other searches (online shopping), and it is not uncommon to see 150 or more tabs. Then as the project winds down the tabs get whittled down, too. Then start looking at the detailed references. After just a week of reading, you can easily end up with 100 tabs of "things to read later.the course of a week long re 10 tabs of other references and things that I searched for, but won't s

Why abuse the browser in this way? Tabs are a fifo buffer for web pages. Opening something in a new tab allows one to read/act on it when the current tab is closed, without interrupting the mental state / flow relating to the current tab. Pages loaded in new tabs are also opened in the background, so there is no interruption while waiting for pages to load.

Why is housing so expensive? Americans are giving all that money to the banks. And after 13 years? They jump off the treadmill, go back to the start, and throw more money away. And this is best case, assuming no second mortgages, interest only loans, and all the other scams Americans are so gullible to fall into.
I guess I'd consider myself "quasi-technical." I do digital media, marketing, and analytics.

I can hack together a website, have been teaching myself Ruby, RoR, some basic devops, etc. in addition to my knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS. I know enough to have a somewhat technical conversation with engineers or PMs, and I know enough to setup my own conversion tracking most of the time. I'm also intimately familiar with many of the technical reasons tracking can be off or break since that is critical to understanding performance.

My core responsibility is to make my company lots of money by efficient and effective deployment of our marketing budget through various efforts. I spend a lot of time staring at spreadsheets and analytics dashboards "reading the runestones" in search of insights that will improve growth. I then take those insights and craft them into a strategy and business case to sell it in to key stakeholders so I can get the resources needed to execute on my strategy and make it a reality.

Marketing in general has actually gotten very technical over the last decade. My personal opinion is that one cannot be considered a "10x marketer" (if there is even such a thing) without having some understanding of the technical aspects that go into it. This means things like understanding data (how it flows, what it means, what it doesn't mean, where and why it breaks, etc.), how various channels play together, testing, automation, etc. At the very least you need to know enough here to hire the right people who are experts at those things since this industry is plagued by people claim to do more than they are really capable of.

On top of that there's the softer skills. Understanding messaging and positioning and the overall creative process. Marketing is just as much an art as it is a science. There's also a lot of people skills required for collaboration across teams of very different skill sets and personality types. You need to work with a team of creatives VERY differently than a team of engineers for example. Being able to effectively serve as the glue between various functional groups is a skill that has paid off in spades for me over my career.
I like the approach of custom name resolver though. Pretty straight forward to build one e.g. backed by Consul.
> And the (Roman Catholic) west has constantly been antagonising the east.

The west is not a religiously unified entity. For example, about one third of the German population died during the religious wars of the 17th century between Protestants and Catholics [1]. Not to mention the more recent Troubles in Northern Ireland.

> Colour revolutions (which all targeting majority Orthodox countries).

The countries that underwent a Colour Revolution (failed or successful) were mostly non-Christian, according to the Wikipedia list of Colour Revolutions [2].

But let's take a look at one successful Colour Revolution in an Orthodox country: the Rose Revolution [3] in Georgia in 2003. In that case, a corrupt authoritarian regime, led by a former Soviet functionary, was overthrown and replaced by a democracy. It is fair to say that most Georgians are glad this revolution took place. Similar things could be said about the Colour Revolutions in Serbia and Ukraine. So I'm not sure why you include Colour Revolutions in your list of bad things supposedly done by the Roman Catholics to people of Orthodox faith.

Georgia is an interesting case, by the way. The Georgian Orthodox Church is the most trusted institution in Georgia [4]. At the same time, successive Georgian governments have carried out a consistently pro-NATO policy, presumably with the acquiescence of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Probably something to do with the tensions between Orthodox Georgia and its Orthodox neighbor, Russia.

Scaling Managed Services in the Cloud Era

Interestingly, we've surrounded our planet by sputniks which were invented as a step to the stars but sometimes they make our interstellar eyesight less sharp.

The Google Cloud standard for async operations via the google.longrunning.Operation service:
https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/master/google/....
This should be usable either via REST/JSON or gRPC.

It's designed to be generic for any kind of async operation, and to be "mixed in" with your APIs. There are utilities for waiting for an operation to finish (via polling); in theory it should be possible to use some type of server-push to avoid polling, but I'm not sure if anybody's doing this.

(I'm an Alphabet employee who's working on APIs delivered via gRPC / REST/JSON.)
Do you have citations most farming (historically) was done for worse pay under worse conditions?
To be fair, traditional "dumb" contracts written by lawyers also have exploits and loopholes. That's why we have courts with judges and juries that can make subjective decisions based on context outside of the contract. Smart contracts don't allow for that subjective judgment, and thus won't work in a subjective society.
This is along the right lines. Whoever cracks end-user programming will be someone who embraces lists, and is willing throw away the vast vast majority of modern programming language-y control structures.

Lists of strings + function calls + function definitions, that gets you pretty far. Anything that tries to reach much beyond that will fail. Function definitions are probably just lists of strings. Deeply nested statements are probably counterproductive.

I think even IF statements are probably not necessary. Comparison operators plus function calls get you conditionals and so much more.

Well, until they git rid of XUL add-ons in November/FF57, I live and die by the Tab Groups extension.

I have a group of tabs for various things in AWS, a group for various things in my build system, a group for the various Jira and Confluence things, a group for mail and google docs, a group for my company's HR requirements (timesheeting), a group for programming docs, and any one of these groups can have additional tabs for idle browsing while I'm waiting for something, and I can add additional groups if I'm on a secondary project.

The way I tend to browse is to hit a page, then load several promising links in new tabs. Load them over the network in parallel, because doing everything on one tab with back/forward is painful in the extreme.

Overall, it's ridiculously easy to hit 100 tabs.

Edit: fantastic, thanks for the suggestions. Will definitely check them out.
Are great advancements the measurement of good? Is progress for the sake of progress so great? To me, it's a question of the proverbial slaves building the pyramids: it's easy to insist that society should work for the improvement of technology if your quality of life is already secured by the people below you on the ladder.

You may not want to stop progressing, but ask Americans without healthcare coverage whether they would prefer government money going to research or to providing for their needs, and many of them will disagree with you.
I had no intention of criticizing any efforts. One should do whatever makes them happy, and as a frequent user of these libraries, it is to my own advantage for them to improve.

For the same reasons, I have nothing against people who "do anything that resembles anything that has been done before," and I certainly wouldn't attempt to discourage the author. I'm sorry if that cartoon is over-referenced (in attempts to be negative), I can't really control that, but I think it's something to think about when starting a new project (i.e. what is your goal, does it differ from other projects, is that important to you?)

Sorry if my comment seemed like I was shooting this down, I certainly had no intent of doing that.
I've been curious about the viability of this sort of advisory retainer model for other areas. Has anybody tried something similar?

I think of it like a stripped-down agency model. From a customer perspective, you have no long-term contracts or commitments, and you can get normally cost-prohibitive expertise at a steep discount. The catch is that the execution falls squarely on your shoulders.

But for a startup with a limited budget and lots of sweat to offer, in certain areas that can be totally fine as the difficult part isn't necessarily in the building but in making sure the right thing is being built.

To the OP, I have a few questions:

1. How would you define your ToS so as to ensure profitability? I could see people taking advantage if it were all you can eat and constantly asking for answers on slightly different designs to make sure they had you making the bulk of the decisions.

2. Time=money in this case. How scaleable is this model? Or do you not plan on it scaling to a large number and would be happy if you only had a relatively small number of customers to pay the bills?

3. What would your deliverables look like? Would you provide actual sketches/comps? Detailed write-ups? Or just brief written responses to very specific questions?

4. To add to #3, if you limit it to answering questions, how will you keep user satisfaction high if you get a lot of overly broad questions/asks that you then need to push back on to keep the scope limited and profitable?

5. 24h turnaround is nice in theory, but do you really plan on being available during weekends and holidays? What if you get sick? If this is in essence a productized one-person consultancy, how do you manage expectations around that?

6. In general, what's your game plan for needy customers? If you fire them, you get a bad reputation. If you give in, you kill your margins. If you push back, you risk churn.
Was curious enough about the thesis paper, I went searching for it.

http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/11173/34541425...
I suspect that number 2 is less profitable: the quality of work drops, your reputation drops, and the effective market rate you can charge drops.

But I think you can get trapped in a number 2 situation regardless -- eg, there's an economic downturn, so people spend less, the business "cost optimizes", which causes people to spend less, etc.

I think the second case is a sort of "survival" mode witnessed in fundamentally unhealthy economies where businesses are being squeezed because people in general are being squeezed.

Do you have any add-ons to manage that? I don't mean to tell you how to work but that doesn't seem optimal. There is probably a better way than having over 400 tabs open.

In some areas, homes are left empty.

In others, there is a much greater housing demand than supply.

In both cases, increasing the cost of leaving housing idle would seem to be an improvement over the present situation.

It's occurred to me that the problem of housing and wages are twinned, and that some sort of land-tax / land-reform, paired with an income regime (employer of last resort, UBI, living wage, probably a mix of all of the above) is necessary.

Without housing reform, increased wages are withdrawn via rents.

Without wage reform, housing supply remains beyond the effective demand of those who are unhoused / insufficiently housed, and/or are subject to highly variable income.

> looking up what you want when you have dozens / hundreds of tabs open is no better than going through your history browsing history

I have heaps of tabs open, but there are orders of magnitude more pages in my browser history. The latter usually contains so much that is too much to look through to find anything but quite recent entries. The tabs still open are pages still with some relevance to me, while the history is filled with lots of incidental stuff that is no longer of use.

[Edit: also, with open tabs the page content is already there so it's more quickly accessible. This can be useful if you need to look at it to help find the page you're looking for, and to get the content from the page]

I was already using 55.x Beta. My BIGGEST issue, is that EVERY browser seems to chew up memory over time, just by leaving it open with tabs going. Firefox, Chrome, Safari. All do the same thing. Alleviated by using the Great Suspender in Chrome, but why can't they all have this just built in? Startup/speed, and initially memory use really haven't been that big of an issue. It's the memory, and finally grinding to a halt that is the BIGGEST issue for me. I can't escape it.
