There is ZERO reason not to wear a helmet every time you leave the house. You could trip and fall at any moment!

Presumably, you're willing to accept that risk. Biking without a helmet is no doubt riskier than walking without one, but both activities are well within reasonable risk-taking range.

You don't need me to tell you why I don't like wearing a helmet when I bike; you already use all those same reasons to avoid wearing one when you walk.

Interestingly, I often feel like Adobe wants it to be higher-touch.

I've had the $10/mo Photoshop+Lightroom bundle forever. I almost never use them, and when I do it's definitely not for pro-level stuff, but I find it worth the price to have these tools available when I need them.

Adobe, on the other hand, really really wants me to get into Behance, watch this or that instructional video, take a survey, read their blog, etc.

But if I got that engaged with their ecosystem, I'd surely end up with support tickets and so on, but I doubt I'd give them any more money. I get that it's worth it to them on average, it just feels weird sometimes as I'm a dream customer at $10/mo.
I predict that under the proposed minimum version selection system some package will decide it's important and flawless enough that users should always depend on the most recent version. The package will recommend that users depend on version v1.0.0 but the first release will be v1.100.0. Subsequent releases will decrement the minor version to make sure newer releases are selected.
Ok thanks very much.

I guess one example of what I was talking about is your phrase: "your attempt to fudge the definition of "socialism"".

That's a rather inaccurate, poisonous misrepresentation of what I said and was doing, it seems to me. Yet you say it like it's the plainest fact, and maybe you believe it is. It's snarky. It's not assuming good faith. It's pure downvote material.

I was describing how it seems to me the word is used in the US nowadays. Or as I said, even more carefully, how it "seems nowadays to usually be used". I don't hear much news at all, less from the US, but a fair bit of that (before Trump anyway) has been hysteria about purported socialism, and e.g. any policy or intention Obama had that the far-right didn't like, described as such. It's laughable—at best, The Worst Argument In The World[0].

I likewise can't make any sense of how you thought I was trying to 'fudge the definition' of a word, if I understand what you meant by that. And I can't see which part of what I wrote was 'mocking', at all. The 'hahaha' at the beginning, if you were referring to that, was me laughing - I actually physically laughed like that, it was a record of that.

But I really appreciate the effort put into the rest of what you wrote, thanks.

Decentralization is not essential to cryptocurrency as a technology. It's essential to a view of how it could be used for the betterment of many.

The technology can just as easily be applied for other purposes, mandated by an authoritarian government to be the only legal way to conduct commerce. You'd use it not because you want to, but because you want to avoid their ire.
I was actually referring to starts from stop signs and stop lights where you don't get near to 60mph. Also, tire noise (poorly damped from inside a Tesla, admittedly) is quite different from engine roar (damped or not.) From talking to other Tesla owners, I'm expressing a fairly common sentiment.

Generals.io ; Capture enemy generals, protect yours
Today I discovered a fast pace game that gets me off my chair every round ha-ha. For more than 16 years of online gaming I have to be honest, this is the most brilliant game I have ever enjoyed. The game name is Generals you can find it at generals.io
It is a simple game and fast one, it’s a map consisting of boxes (closest to my mind to describe), you should defend your general and take over enemy generals to expand your land and army size, the last one to survive wins (given that you eat all generals in the round). I play the free for all round it consists of 8 players. You get 1 additional army at your generals land every 1 second and every 25 seconds you get 1 army per land you have explored. So the more land you acquire and explore the more your army will become every 25 seconds.
There is an in-round chat where you can chat with other players. You need to run a right strategy that I have not yet discovered so this is going to be tempting for you to try out the game and figure out your own strategy.
So far, here is what I did:
I send small groups of scouts to explore land and gain as much as land as I can in the first two rounds of free army (after a period of time you get extra army per land you get). Then I start hunting the nearest king to take over the opponent’s army. Once you defeat a king, the entire army is under your control so the more kings you defeat the stronger and larger your army becomes.

I have done some research on the game as well and apparently, a new company called MUGAgamingllc has acquired it. They seem like a promising online gaming company with lots of traffic and player base. The new company reset ranking to make the game competitive and started a new ladder season.
Very nice game in my opinion - a must try out! www.generals.io - you can also download the application to your android and ios phones

A more appropriate answer here would be "no, our product is not certified/approved for that use". If someone asks about injecting your product (and your product is not specifically intended/designed/approved for that use), then a response about isoforms seems to be the wrong way to go.
Forgive my ignorance, I really only have a passing familiarity with haskell, and I did a quick search before trying to lump it in with sql as declarative, but http://www.haskell.org states above the fold, "declarative, statically typed code". If it's not generally considered a declarative language, is there a better way to describe the language?

vancanwin, this is a cool premium service and product. i would be more inclined to pay the premium price if the first step was getting blood/bone/gut work done. ordering the elixir based on a 10-second form didn't seem much better than me buying recommended vitamins at the store. it's not very custom is it!

it is the data about myself that i really struggle with.

i have health insurance and a doctor, but i don't know what tests to have done or what to do with that information afterwards. i don't even know if i can have these tests done simply by asking?!

does my blood show a deficiency in some vitamin or mineral? do i need to take calcium? is my gut doing great things for my mind and body?

i would pay premium price to figure out the above questions, and would be more likely to pay for a truly customized treatment.

ps - it's a lot of trust required to enter in birthday and personal information for a form. whereas i'd happily take a test with my doctor and then pay for a consultation with a certified medical specialist who puts my results in context of a solution - perhaps needing my weight and age and gender to do that. i it's hard to have that kind of trust with a new startup. in fact it made me trust y'all less to have to enter that info up front just to buy a standard mix of vitamins...

Well, I've had my little SaaS up and running for about 6 weeks.

- The landing page gets about 30-70 hits per day (excepting the occasional spike) -- how many of those are bots and crawlers, I wonder?

- I've had a grand total of FIVE (5) trial sign ups.

- No buyers yet

- My linode bill is currently about ~$120/month.

- Still within the free tier on S3 and Mailgun.

- You know, when I'm the only one using the app, I don't place much stress on the infrastructure.

Now, I can't really say one way or another if I'm getting to that 2% because I'm just not getting enough trial sign-ups :)

EDIT: Oh, yea, link for the curious: https://www.contabulo.com

Bah, I've posted it here before.
It has nothing to do with billing. I was just pointing out that the second 'S' in 'SaaS' means "service" and once you get into services your margins often go down, that's why I (and other folks I know who've done SaaS at scale) disagree with Patrick on "economics of SaaS are impossibly attractive". I am willing to bet that Splunk's margins are way better than Loggly's.

Moreover, if you're smart & lucky and you manage to find a large niche with good margins running SaaS on AWS, Amazon will launch it as a service. Mr. Bezos is around & watching you :)

Switch your theme from "Default" to "Basic".

If I am going to consider using something other than Slack, probably the only thing I would consider is a self-hosted open source solution to keep communication private (just having an on-prem closed solution would not be enough, I want to OWN the data, otherwise, I might as well go with the market leader).

Otherwise, why use Stride instead of Slack? Most people I know have already used Slack and require no training. They probably even have the mobile app installed already.

Stride just seems to be a me-too offering with no compelling reason to exist

If you update the `notebook` package there should be a workaround. Messages will be buffered on server-side until a client reconnect. It is still not perfect, but get part of the way. One long term plan is to have server-side model (not sure if it will be by default, or an extension), and have the browser just be a vue on this. It is quite hard to design as many visualisation libraries assume to be in a browser context, and have access to DOM.
> The logic is not "so few people get in accidents that if I wear a helmet it is likely to be overkill!". The logic is "if I get in an accident I will be very glad I am wearing this."

You could use the same logic to justify extreme defenses against all kinds of rare-but-deadly events. You should be wearing a helmet in your car to protect against accidents in which your head hits the side window. You should be carrying a rifle to fight off wildlife every time you go for a hike. You definitely shouldn't be crossing any streets in auto-heavy cities. (And we could go on and on and on like this. There's no reason to even leave your house! Better to get everything delivered and not risk contact with the world at all!)

Everything is a tradeoff. There are no absolutes. Just tradeoffs.

Where I live, we have a lot of “salmon” I.e. people biking against the traffic (the wrong way). They’ve been my biggest danger. I’ve hit them more than once.
Been there, done that. Catch yourself on your hands/elbows. If you can’t, then perhaps you should go slower over such terrain. We dutchies coast on average around 20 km/h (12.5 mph). Anyone going above 30 is deemed “racing bicyclist” and they usually do wear helmets. They are a class on their own and are often hated by car drivers, since they think they have the road for themselves.

The UVC (Uniform Vehicle Code) that most states base their traffic laws on states that bicycles do not have to keep as far right as practicable when the lane they're in is a substandard width lane. They further go on to define a substandard width lane as one where a cyclist and another vehicle cannot travel safely side by side with both vehicles within the lane.
It looks like something you’d do when the function args are the wrong way around and you rely on currying, and you don’t have a clojure style ‘thread-last’ operator.
I'm reading a (sometimes hyperbolic) but interesting "book" on this: Digital Stockholm Syndrome in the Post-Ontological Age:

"Now, the modern person is determined by data exhaust—an invisible anthropocentric ether of ones and zeros that is a product of our digitally monitored age."

I won't doubt that in 15-20 years, using the process of deduction of your phone/laptop/browsing habits/credit card usage/address info a company could, if bothered, collate that data to get "your picture". And I mean literally zoom in a security cam to snap the photo.
Hey Leo,

There's probably no objective truth, but let me offer a perspective: a founder sees 1 founder (themselves) and 100 VCs and a VC sees 100 founders and 1 VC. In the same way you look for patterns in founders, teams, products and markets to determine who to invest in, founders look for patterns in VCs to see who's likely to invest. A useful and common pattern founders pick up on is VC tire kicking: the ones who are interested enough to dig in but not excited enough to invest immediately. Asking questions in a meeting is one thing, but following up in an e-mail with an itemized list of; "how do you think about [x], what about [y] competitor, have you thought about [z]" is a surefire indicator that an investor's not willing to move right now (not enough confidence in founder, team, product or market) and, as a founder, you need to move on.

So you may sit here and proclaim, "hey, this advice isn't accurate, because I ask questions when I'm interested!" Well... yeah, sure. There's (1) selection bias involved, you're a well-known VC and you're likely meeting with, on average, more experienced founders (by the time a first-time founder gets to you they may have been through an accelerator, faced tens of rejections or more, etc.) and this can lead to more mature relationship building, and (2) for every 1 in 100 founders you invest in this way, you passed on the other 99, making you one of their 99 they need to pattern match and learn from.

Viewed through this lens, founders should absolutely take this advice to heart. If you, as an investor, really wanted to invest in a founder and they snubbed you a bit after a follow up question (not rudely, they just have to choose where to focus), would you suddenly lose interest, or would you pursue a great deal / great opportunity? I have a hard time believing you'd let somebody you thought was the next Zuck walk out of the room without a term sheet. Founders should try to find the investor who thinks they're the next "Zuck", or some reasonable facsimile of such given the product and market.

Hope that helps clarify. I've seen friends put through the ringer by getting too caught up in the weeds with VCs that clearly weren't interested, or were tire-kicking. Can happen to amazing founders and it's wildly distracting.
Not with elm. Its a nice intersection of smart and down-to-earth / helpful types. And "smart" here means "conscientious, passionate developer smart" not "born with 200 IQ". I don't get any impression that elmers "_consider_ themselves as being smarter than the rest" from talking on the reddit etc. Haskellers though, I think it's a different story, but YMMV.

Rails Callbacks: 5 Best Practices Used at Gusto
The notebook server have "contents managers" which decide how notebooks get stored. It is perfectly possible to write what you request, and some users have done it: https://github.com/aaren/notedown here without the outputs but it's easy enough to add.

The other possibility is to export a notebook as an actual files and folder tree: https://github.com/takluyver/nbexplode so rich object (png, svg... etc) are independently editable.

It though can be challenging to have work well because of different filesystems.

You can even go further and tell the server to store nothing on disk but in a database, postgres for example :https://github.com/quantopian/pgcontents
