The last few years I too have been building a piece of animation software, but the first crappy version of it was released after just six months of development.

I hate dealing with the business part (ads, billing, etc), but moderately spoiling the app with ads and in-apps allows me not to be distracted earning money. Staying hungry just means taking freelance gigs for me.

Overall, adding new complex features turned out to be orthogonal to monetization efficiency, but I continued to implement them. Two years ago I discovered a tiny obscured fan community of the app and helped them grow. Since then the most enjoyable part of my work is interacting with some of the dedicated users and discovering the new ways of using content they create.

They cannot pay me, but the I am proud of making a great product for them. The code is shit to be honest, but does it matter?

I don't even use a mac but I've heard terrible things about High Sierra, is it really that bad?

Seems like they pushed a bunch of substantial changes to the kernel.
The applications are projects that require immutable data and wide distribution. Those developments haven't really been made yet.

Most of the discussion today about crypto developments is centered around bitcoin. But just because something utilizes a blockchain doesn't mean it has anything to do with bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first popular application built on top of a blockchain, and arguably the most radical.
This is why my individualism, and Self Ownership come it to play as I feel that should be my choice if I want to take the risk, it should be up to me if the pain is server enough to warrant opioids or not as I am the one experiencing the pain.

Every person reacts differently to procedures and to pain, some people having their wisdom teeth removed may not be painful, others it might be terrible pain. It should be up to the individual as a adult to make those choices for themselves

I am sure that will be an unpopular opinion given the state of society is that no one should be treated as adults and that governments or "others" should tell people have to live ...

At multiple times in my life I have been given hydrocodone, I have almost never used the entire prescription, but when I needed them I would glad to have them. The idea that a 3rd party can tell me "ohh your pain is not that bad just live with it" when there is a easy solution to allow me not to live it it, well I find that morally reprehensible
It depends on your customer behavior. If there customer can retry, then a small failure is trivially passed.

Folks not reaching for a pill bottle are pretty rare, IME. I think the author of this article is touching on something pretty valuable with the willingness to be uncomfortable or even to endure pain. When I broke my leg in college, they gave me morphine while I was in the hospital (which just made me annoyed and mad) and I never touched the take-home codeine. Was walking in an air boot "early", too, as I was assured I couldn't hurt myself thanks to the metal rod through my shin and it just...didn't hurt that much.

I might take a naproxen if I have a bad headache or I tweak my neck and I can't stop working to take care of myself, but that's maybe two or three times a year (and I am being well-compensated for it). I know people, healthy people, who pop an ibuprofen in the morning just out of habit.
For migraine sufferers, not taking something as it starts to unfold will result in a very unpleasant experience that will take longer to resolve
I just finished reading Wait But Why's excellent article on NeuralLink https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

I wonder if these top-down beta rythmes would force out implanted data similar to white blood cells and viruses.
I really like a recent thing I read about adult development from Robert Kegan. These go in order in his model, and these are kind of adult development levels to "achieve".. which of course itself leads to a discussion of Kegan's work, but here are the interesting ones for adults:

- socialization - your identity is based on your social context, and the society around you

- self-authored - your identity is based on what you've carved out for yourself, and you are in control of it outside of your social constructs.

- self-transformation - your identity is not your own! You see identity as something as movable and constructed as many other objects in your life.
Other options that might be available:

- Selling to the next renter or to the landlord

- Finding a buyer (individual or store) and arranging with them to pick it up on the day you're moving out

- Selling your stuff a few days before leaving and improvising temporary alternatives (e.g. $20 air mattress on the floor, or staying with friends)

Note: I'm not saying these are better than just writing off your current furniture and buying new stuff. All I'm saying is that other options existed before IKEA, and continue to exist today.
Maybe not now, but in a war there definitely is.
I could go into a long, detailed, breakdown of how bad TeXStudio is but, frankly, if they want UI/UX work they should pay for it. Which they clearly don’t.

It’s... decent enough in the pack of “open source UI” but that isn’t a high bar.

Here’s the thing about that (oft repeated) line about WYSIWYG vs WYSIWYW: it’s bullshit.

There’s no justification for it other than the deficiencies of the tooling and tool chain. It’s an excuse.
I wonder how Torvalds approaches it.

It already is. Today, the leading form of "money" used on the internet is your information to pay for your access to something.

Facebook, google, instagram, etc etc.
I don't think it's that, really. I mean to some degree (there's a blurb in the article about Gates limiting screen time due to an unhealthy attachment to a game), but not completely. Both Gates and Jobs saw the transition of no Personal Computers on up to smartphones, etc. Because of that I think they still understood the importance of going analog. Being in the field they understood there's more to life than computers.
I have a Gear S3 now (used to own a Pebble) and I rarely touch the screen to do anything (except to treat it as a big button). You can do most navigation with the buttons and the ring around the outside.

Between that and the always-on-display it's a good replacement for the Pebble.
Not only is it healthier but also better for the employer long term. A drugged employee makes more mistakes and might suffer injuries from lack of attention.

For me "the standard popcorn stuff" is already enough to ruin my experience. I'd gladly pay more to go to a cinema where eating or drinking anything is strictly prohibited (as it still is, for example, in my hometown's best cinema, which sells absolutely nothing apart from tickets and subscriptions).
Some temporary pain won't kill you, but opioids might.
Anecdotally, it's fairly prevalent in Europe as well. Living in Europe, I know just as many Europeans who pop ibuprofen like candy compared to Americans.
A full version of Windows or Windows Embedded ("Windows IoT")?
Or with gloves on. This is one of the reasons why I still use my Garmin GPSMAP 62s with a heart rate sensor when I go for longer bike rides, despite having an Apple Watch (the others being: more detailed maps and being able to 'recharge' the GPS by swapping out two AA batteries).
Is the full statement available? I managed to figure out that the statement was issued by North Korea's Asia-Pacific Peace Committee and the quotes you mentioned are found in countless articles but I failed to find the full statement.
I'm not sure it's a valid point since I can just enter in one of the 3 pharmacies near me and buy a box of aspirins for 2€. We don't have medications in supermarket but we have a LOT of pharmacies here (France).

Indeed. Story time!

Last Monday evening, I had an accident with an angle grinder in my garage. The cutoff disc went through my leather glove and bit deep into the middle finger of my left hand. After deciding against gluing the cut back together, I drove myself to urgent care and received five stitches.

Did I need any painkillers, the doctor asked? I declined; my finger was pumped full of lidocaine at the time.

In the middle of the night, the lidocaine wore off, and while the finger hadn't hurt in the immediate aftermath of the injury, it certainly hurt then. After tossing and turning for about an hour, I decided to get up and try to find something to take.

The only analgesic I had in the house was an expired tiny bottle of ibuprofen. I needed about five minutes of digging before I found even that.

I simply don't use painkillers very often. I might take ibuprofen once or twice a year. I can't remember the last time I took anything other than ibuprofen, not even acetaminophen, not even when I twisted my knee.

I'm not sure if I have a higher tolerance of pain than other people or if other people like to self-medicate when the least bit of pain rears its head. Or, perhaps, I've simply been lucky enough not to have much pain.
Regardless of the occupancy certificate, a pretty large number of humans must have stepped foot there already.
> I have noticed the need to "take something" with a lot of American friends when they have problem. It's almost like a reflex.

I have a friend who was in an accident and required emergency surgery. She happens to be a drug addict who is no longer involved in drugs (we do not say 'former' drug addict as there is no such thing). Even though she put in her intake form "DRUG ADDICT" in bold letters and told them, they still insisted on trying to give opiate-based pain killers to her. It is almost like they are telemarketers going off a script to sell something, which is in this case to push opiate drug painkillers.
It is easier because you do not need to have a Unix machine with the tools you mentioned and it takes just one click once you have the page open

So at least for my use-cases (e.g. typing database seed files) this thing saves my time many seconds per copied UUID.
Trust is an interesting topic: I think many people – and especially courts – would be actively disinclined to trust an anonymous blockchain but might be interested in one where it’s identified participants with reputations, liability, etc. Pay the USPS, Western Union, etc. and get a signature backed by insurance.

Trying to explain something like Bitcoin just seems like you’d have a hard time meeting reasonable doubt standards in a dispute but that’s not the only model.

people experiencing legitimate pain are becoming casualties of our crackdown on "inappropriate" prescribing.

Perhaps in America they are so easy with the opiates because people have a real or perceived need to get back to work. When I had to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed the pain and swelling was completely under control with ice bags, aspirin and two days off work. A low wage at-will worker in the US can't do that.
IMO, 10.6 was still the best release. Wish they would do another “no new features” release one of these years.
The experience of pain (and I'm separating this from the dopamine-release thing for people who groove on that sort of thing) is, for my money, a useful training facility for willpower and restraint. Separate from the pain-as-warning-signs noted by 'lukeschlather, few things hurt that much and the fact that you are not the master of even yourself is a valuable reminder.

The experience of being uncomfortable is not a bad one to have, nor a bad one to make peace with. Pain and discomfort are a part of humanity: when they don't exist, we invent ways to have both. And there certainly exists a line where chronic pain makes it humane to blunt it--but most folks don't have that problem at all.

And "content" is what you are left with when the soul is leached out of creativity by people who lack it. It is a soul-suckingly awful construct in the twenty-first century and decent people should reject it. Please don't promulgate its notions.
they will "hang around" after you visit in terms of caching. it'll cache whatever they've coded for.
Can you buy Ibuprofen in stores or do you need a prescription? In the US most stores have a big aisle with painkillers.
Clear liquids such as sugared water can be safely ingested until 2 hours before surgery.
Maybe it's the "one click to share" behavior - an extremely low-resolution action - that is the problem? Perhaps things would be easier to fix if the human engagement component were more than "can you press a button?"
Pain is really important. You can't properly heal from an injury without pain, because you won't know when you're worsening the injury. In the worst case you'll get into a descending spiral where you need to take more and more painkillers as you attempt to go about your day normally until you've injured yourself to the point where painkillers are no longer able to let you ignore the injury.
This article doesn't mention what is in my opinion the worst part of iOS PWAs (or web development in general).

The engine that runs a PWA (or web-view, or app added to the home screen) is completely different than the one in safari.

The "WebView" engine, (specifically a UIWebView, WKWebView, or SFSafariViewController) don't have some features turned on, like WebRTC. And there are rendering differences between the 2 engines.

I was really screwed by this recently. I saw iOS 11 was to get WebRTC and getUserMedia support, so I tested out a POC and found it worked in safari. So I started building it out in safari, mostly just turning on the feature if it was supported in safari, and when I went to go test a production version of the app added to the homescreen, it was failing.

Turns out It's not only not supported on the WebView, but it still advertises that it's supported, and you just need to catch the failure when you go to use it to know that it's not supported...

Now I either had to tell my users to REMOVE the bookmark on the homescreen if they were to use this new feature, and warn people to NEVER add the app to the homescreen as it would break the feature, or just forgo the feature entirely, which is what I ended up doing.

Oops. Yeah, thanks!
Many millions of people have sums of money from an inheritance or other windfall, this money sits in a bank and does not collect interest, even with low inflation it essentially depreciates. So along comes the crypto market and all of a sudden people are putting their savings in, hoping to make a quick buck on a rising market. They know it is a risk but they do it anyway.

This choice of 'scam coins' over 'fiat' is part religious cult and people get caught up believing more than they can understand about the holy blockchain, however, it also reflects badly on mainstream banking and how broken that is. Really it has been broken for at least a generation in that interest rates are dysfunctional-low.

Barely a day goes by without a scam coming to light that costs real USD, there is a ocean of difference between 'coin market value' and dollars of real money, but still this is lots of poor people losing their windfall savings. It can be a boyfriend or a brother that accesses the savings, so the purse strings are on that trust relationship. My top tip is to get into the divorce business as a lot of people are going to be arguing over 'where the bitcoin went'. They still probably won't be believing 'fiat' money is real so the carcasses left behind by the altcoin scammers should still be rich pickings for lawyers and estate agents.

Right now I am trying to think of how I could use the all wonderful blockchain to help plant trees in the Northern Forest, with an app so people could sponsor a tree and have it all tied in to some fashionable blockchain thing. In this way, in fifty years time, the bits of poetry and dedications people have left for the trees will still work as there will be no central server needed.

However, I don't quite see it. If I am to help plant five million trees by getting people to sponsor the things then the blockchain can wait. My clumsy database tables and the various joins will all be magic-beaned into blockchain sexy at another time, so the forest QR codes and AR poetry works in a decentralised way, for the next few millenia, right?

So maybe I should just roll with it, work with a few altcoin scammers that know the gig is a joke and scam a few million people into buying coins 'backed with saplings' and have them feverishly land grab the whole of the North of England, desperate to plant an extra Rowan tree here or there. In that way, when it all goes tits up, there will be a forest happily growing away.

Or maybe an 'alt-coin' forest could work? 'Bitcoin Pine', 'Bitcoin Oak', 'Bitcoin Ash' - imagine the fun trading in the futures market.
How to read a crypto market depth chart, and why “HOLY CRAP” at Tether overnight
Yeah, you’re right - I forgot about Dreamweaver and similar tools. I do think that adding wysiwyg UIs to a generator puts it in a slightly different class than the type of generator posted here, but your point is a good one. Adding a UI to a simple generator would make it much easier for non-technical people to use.
> It advocating for less pain management in the US? or better pain management in Germany, I cant tell

If you can't tell, you should read it again. This article is exceedingly clear. (And it is good, and it is right.)
They were talking about the HN parent comment, Quzani.
Small footnote: the iPod Touch comes with Earpods without controls.
If you're paying for it, I agree with you.

But that's not the case in Germany, as they have a single payer healthcare system. That "easy solution" costs other people money.
What you describe sounds much more like justifications for American exceptionalism than an accurate description of history.

"The first republic" .. well, as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic#United_States points out, the US created its own definition of "republic", so it got to be the first to meet that definition, and exclude earlier republics like the Roman Republic, The Messin Republic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Metz#The_Messin_Rep... ) and the Mahajanapadas republics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahajanapada ).

I've read too much Howard Zinn to believe the founders "thought they could architect us into a perfect system." Unless by "perfect" you mean one that would keep the powerful in power.

And "most diverse society"? How do you measure US diversity vs, say, the diversity in India, Indonesia, South Africa, the UK, or Canada?

The Jim Crow laws are some pretty big reprisals. During those decades there was what, one lynching each week on average for decades?
Ya pretty much meant cordova. And just for fun lets throw react native into the comparison mix. Now have 5 levels deep of options on the Web App <--> Native scale, all 5 of them still relevant in 2 years?
In addition, the things the doctors said was exactly right: pain can be a hugely important signal, especially when you're healing. It tells you of you're overexerting yourself, it tells you what you need to do to heal properly, it tells you when you're getting better. Dulling pain has a significant cost.

I don't think people should suffer pain "needlessly" either, but pain has a purpose. Long-term health consequences (whether they are risk of addiction, or a worse healing process) has to be part of the calculus when making decisions about pain management.
I'm going to be very honest, the author comes across as entitled and someone that buys every medicine ad that comes out of tv

Take what's prescribed and if there's an issue do complain (or a previously known issue, not "I think just Ibuprofen won't work")
I wonder how much longer the theater experience will command such a high premium. Beyond a true IMAX experience, the theater doesn't seem to add much value for average movies.

One possible pivot for MoviePass would be to partner with Netflix, Amazon, HBO, or Hulu to run exclusive "members-only" premiers of their content in theaters. I could see some value in the community aspect of the theater for some of the more popular streaming shows.
A counterpoint: Ikea is effectively performing carbon sequestration.

They plan fast-growing pine trees. Those trees remove carbon dioxide from the air. They chop down the trees and make furniture. The carbon is now locked up in that furniture. If they furniture goes into a landfill, that carbon could stay there for decades (or more?). Then, they plant some more trees.

I don't actually know whether building lots of cheap furniture is actually better for climate change compared to building small quantities of durable furniture.

But it's an interesting thought experiment and a reminder to check your facts and do your sums before spouting off.
Ibuprofen and the like are also available from the supermarket in most of Europe. Codeine and the like are not, as they're prescription only but it's not a big trip to go to a pharmacy anywhere.
I've notice this too. But it was a more general mindset: "If I have a health disturbance, I need a _dedicated_ solution.". The _dedicated_ word is important. It can't be a _generic_ solution (like walking, sleeping, change my eating for few days, etc.) so they too "the thing" and don't change anything like if the problem would be solved by this. As an European, it was so weird for me.
You mean, $30,000 to $40,000, the median cost in the US, nearly all of which would be covered by insurance. No sense in fabricating magical numbers, like a multi-million dollar bill, everyone knows the flaws in the US system as is.

It costs about 1/3 to 1/2 as much in Germany, paid for by other tax payers.
Got shoulder surgery recently. I enjoyed taking hydrocodone even though I could prbly have gone without it. Made recovery that much more enjoyable, it was fun while it lasted :D.

Good point. So the cause is more likely that the distribution of the underlying genetic code that determines max life span for an individual is what follows the Poisson distribution at the tail end, rather than any individual's own aging process (or apparent statistical lack thereof). That makes more sense.

I appreciate that this article tells a story and let's the reader think about the meaning and impact, coming to their own conclusion.

It's almost like the author is mocking American media for spoon feeding opinions.
