I agree that remote is more difficult than physical, but it's still much easier to ignore a general comment in a chatroom than one that's specifically addressed to you. Most chat applications will even highlight lines mentioning your name.

(Note that being remote in an otherwise physical team makes this significantly more complicated as well.)

Living in Ho Chi Minh City for the last 1.5 years (from San Francisco) and seeing how dirt poor people are, yet smiling and living their lives, the answer is 'not much'.
I know various stats for UK jobs, and have a good impression of the US job market from colleagues:

This is utter nonsense. Ignore it and move on.
To be honest, I'm kind of tired seeing this 'research finding' pop up over and over again. It feels the whole world is familiar with it.

What I'm lacking is a thorough study of determinants and causal effects. Not just intuition that we're satiated, but something deeper.

For example, where is the study that compares a $200k wage earner vs a $200k capital earner, to provide indications that money merely be an approximation for 'freedom' or 'lower stress'.

Where's the study that looks at whether diminishing returns to happiness from money are due to social isolation the richer you get? i.e. making $100k a year makes you look great in an $80k crowd, and still allows you to mingle with a $40k crowd. But making $5m a year detaches you completely from being able to have meaningful relationships with 95% of people without eventually being viewed as different, unable to understand their daily plight and always doubting whether people envy you or dislike you.

I don't know if any of those things are true, but they are interesting to investigate. Not another superficial article talking about 'researchers have found the most basic correlation and share superficial 100 year old intuitive ideas about why that might be which they never investigated'.
Awesome, happy to see you notice the little things we did (you should check out the 404-page too :D).

I've noted the UI issue. We'll look into it right away.

Thanks, and welcome to BuyMeACoffee, Jonas!
This would not work and it isn't even necessary. Looking at how other low-wage fast-growing countries in the past developed, China's wages and costs will soon get close to Western ones and there will be a more fair competition. Eg. if the 1980's hobby economists had been right, all our cars, electronics and computers would be Japanese by now.
I'm trying ProtonMail https://protonmail.com/

Pro :

* There is free limited version (500MB, 150 messages per day).

* Web and mobile app

* Security

Cons :

* By design, the mail search is currently limited (wip)

* Currently no integration with calendar or other usefull app
> Added to the already imposing book-mountain.

:-) so little time, so much to read …
Thanks for making me aware of paypal.me! That's a very neat service.
i agree in general.

i think it has been proven in studies that being altruistic gives you more happiness than doing something fun (see martin seligmans boom on authentic happiness).

HOWEVER, from my personal experience, I do not derive happiness by giving just money away (eg to a stranger who asked me), but rather through helping her at an errand or bigger problem

Better, physical proximity (via Bluetooth or WiFi mesh networks) would provide immediate local routing. This would work with the above.

I'm very happy with https://mailbox.org/. They are based in Berlin, Germany right here in my neighborhood. They offer:

* Caldav/Carddav

* Optional at rest encryption using your PGP public key

* Microsoft Exchange API

* Pretty decent web mail interface

* For iOS/macOS: Configuration profiles that make it really easy to start configuring new devices

* Easy domain aliases

* Cheap and affordable (< 20 Euro per year)

Why don't you build it?

As a consumer electronics company founder, I've noticed it's so easy to say "the other guys are idiots why don't they offer me what I want exactly."

It's because hardware is hard. So if you want something made exactly your way, why don't you just build it?

It's never been easier than now to build a hardware product. And the software here is majority open source.
>The idea of using an isolated user and a shared filesystem makes no sense;

I do run my stuff in containers, I have about 30 of them setup, each one with it's own service.

However, I still have to login into these containers, which happens as root (for the container). And then having to pivot to the app user is bothersome. Luckily or strangely a lot of applications don't work as root because nobody should be running any service as root.

>On the contrary, it forces good practice by ensuring that you always know how to install the set of dependencies that you need;

I have automated deployment for that. I simply add a python script to my fabric repository and signal which container should install it, the rest is fully automated and tested.

User-local installs are complicated here since it means the deployment script will have to pivot to another user temporarily.

>When you rely on system installs of packages, you create exactly the same problem when you come to run the program on multiple servers, only less fail-fast and harder to diagnose.

I also create a reproducable problem, user-local installs are less reproducable, in my experience.

I can replicate the exact environment of an app server installed via apt-get within a few keystrokes (I wrote a fabric task for that; "fabric copy-deployment <sourcecontainer> <targetcontainer>")

>If you get in a position where that's you're requirement, you've done something wrong. Take a step back and figure out what you really need.

You mean like running multiple instances of the same service? That happens. Maybe you want to deploy three seperate instances of AppSomething for three domains with three seperate datasets. Instead of deploying three containers, I deploy one container.
There is ample evidence that dark matter exists, as in, there is something there that we can indirectly observe. We have fairly good ideas about what it isn't, we just don't know what it is for certain.

You get used VERY FAST to money (and sensory pleasures which come with it), which is why they dont make me that happy (anymore).

However, I am very grateful for the additional free time that I can buy with my money, eg by working less.

The latter would of course not hold for someone earning 2m USD per year, but constantly working 70+h/week to keep it that way.
I moved to Runbox a week ago and am happy (so far at least). Before I switched from Gmail I worked out what my requirements were and evaluated a few services, wrote up my findings at http://www.robinwhittleton.com/2018/02/18/dropping-g-suite/ . Fastmail is the obvious competitor, but I wanted a mail service that didn’t have servers in the US (Fastmail have US and Amsterdam, but replicate across then instead of letting one pick a region as far as I can see).
Ah yes, Android storage.

When launched the concept seemed to be that "internal storage" was the emmc, while "external storage" was the SD card (or equivalent).

Then came the idea of faking an SD card on the emmc via partions, but SD cards were still an option (but no standardized mount point any longer because it was used for the faux SD partition).

Then came 3.1, and Google changed up the permissions such that "external storage" permissions only applied to the faux SD parition, and new "media storage" permissions were needed for actual SD cards (but still no official mount point, and the write to SD permission was reserved for system, aka bundled, apps).

This state persisted until 4.4/5.0 where Google introduced the Storage Access Framework. Effectively the new name for accessing SD cards via the mediaserver APIs. The mediaserver being the daemon that indexes all user storage areas and makes the results available to music and video players (and also handles USB storage connections via the MTP protocol).

Supposedly all this was done so people would no longer be surprised that they could not access the SD card from both inside the phone and the PC when connected via USB (because Linux requires that a partition is unmounted locally when exposed over the UMS protocol).

But that would not require that more stringent media storage permissions.

Frankly those permissions reeks of being introduced because of MAFIAA arm twisting. Not only is the naming interesting, but Google made a grand unveiling of their music and movie sections of the then Android Marketplace (now Google Play Store) soon after.
Thanks for trying us out, Jacques! Your platform fee is waived, and enjoy your first coffee on the house :)
I honestly thought this was famous as a patent where there was prior art - surprised the parent is downmodded and anyone else who knows what 'ribbon' means doesn't know about it being done before Microsoft patented it.

- HotDog

- Macromedia HomeSite

- Dreamweaver

- Borland Delphi

all used ribbon UIs before Microsoft patented it.

I have been using Posteo for a few year ( https://posteo.de/en/help?tag=end-to-end ).
Pro:

- Cheap: 1€/month for 2 GBs mailbox
- Basic functionalities such as Web interface, SMTP, POP3, CalDav, CardDav are all included.
- They seem to take privacy and security seriously, including email encryption, 2FA signin or recently Autocrypt[1]
- The warm fuzzy feeling of using 100% renewable energy for your email.

Cons:

- No custom domain
- Might have less features than other providers[2]

[1] I am not a security expert nor I have validated their claim

[2] I use notmuch with emacs for reading email, it works great and very fast so I don't really need any other features.

EDIT: I also run my own email server but the effort involved is just not worth it, IMO.

I prefer using Quod Libet. It does take a bit of customizing, but the benefit is that you can customize everything. It also doesn't try to do anything fancy with tags, letting you determine the entire structure you want to use, including custom tags.

It's the only credible alternative to Foobar2000 on Linux.
Honestly, I didn't think there was any left. Since I can go to the grocery store and pick up a phone now. At least that will give Radio Shack a shot in the arm. Remember in the 80's and early 90's Radio Shack was the place to get cell phone.

I run patrick.net. For a few years it was the top result on Google and other search engines for "housing crash", "housing market", and similar terms. I made a living off of it for a while, but after the bubble did indeed burst, the topic became less popular and revenue fell.

I got started just by writing about what I saw in reality, and how it contradicted what we see in the press. The press for the most part just prints the stories that realtors feed it, which is not a good situation. Realtors and the NAR are hardly unbiased reporters about housing. Their sole goal is to get you to spend as much as you possibly can, and beyond, to maximize their own profits. This resonated with a lot of people, and told others.

The key for me, I think, was that the press's lack of good judgement (and the revenue provided by real estate ads) created a gap in the media where certain things were just missing even though people wanted to see them.

Lately I feel the California market is shaky, so I'm starting to get back into writing about housing.
Office 365 Business Essentials. Costs money but get good support and 50GB mailbox. I actually only needed the Exchange Product, but for only a $1.50 a month more I get a whole bunch of things, like SharePoint to play with :)
Before saying the old code was just bad, put yourself in the shoes of an AoE1 developer.

Google and stack overflow don't exist. If there is a good A* implementation to start from, it's still going to be hard to find. At the time AoE1 was developed, it would require considerably more skill and effort to develop a high quality path finding engine than it would today.

Contemporary games also had bad pathfinding. Today, we know what is possible with good pathfinding. Would you have known at the time? Just knowing what is possible is very valuable information. My guess is that if an AoE1 engineer could have time traveled for just a few minutes to observe modern pathfinding, they would be able to very quickly make progress on improving to something closer to what we expect today.

The old pathfinding might have been bad, but I wouldn't assume that it would have been easy to make it that much better at the time. We have a lot of knowledge now that is easy to take for granted.
One of my primary grievances with ES is that all security is a (paid) add-on. TLS, even most basic authentication, doesn’t come out of the box. I really expect that from a modern product. (Yeah, I know search-guard exists, it’s still an add-on)
the problem is 'bias' is often based on a model that is statistically and operationally accurate, but unfair from a higher order social moral framework.

a sufficiently layered net will pick up second and third order consequential effects that are not formally protected by anti-bias laws, but end up effectively mapping onto the sorts of people in categories the laws were intended to protect.

that's the fundamental problem as I see it, and it's necessarily complicated and nuanced.
Contempt is sometimes warranted. If the descriptions in the article are accurate (from the spitting to the running over with a car), contempt is absolutely the appropriate response and the kind of temporal relativism that denies that is wrong.

A total rewrite is almost never worth it unless the thing you are rewriting is not under development in-production. eg. you don't have to fix bugs in the old version during the rewrite. As you will have a very clear specification and domain experience (if you also worked on the original).
No, we've simply gone from primarily direct purchase to primarily a subscription model, which is common in a lot of other markets.

Just a house for your family will eat up all of that 40k here in Toronto (that’s basically interest-only on the average $1m house in the suburbs). You’d have nothing left.

Although we still live very well in absolute terms, a lot of people I know have and will have a worse quality of life than their parents did, despite being more successful and earning more money! It’s kind of depressing.

I do agree that they should pay artists more, but I consider it an issue with the record labels, rather than with Spotify.

I was trying to understand what you meant. Those a fringe cases and have nothing to do with what most of people think when they talk about national identity. Again its politics disguised as something else, national identity has its good and bad sides, to good are far outweighing any bad ones.
Thanks for checking out the app. Dutch support would probably be a ways out. I think I'm going to need to eventually decide if I want to support languages before I have a lemmatizer in place. For me lemmatization is Langliter's killer feature and it's core to a lot of what's going on in the app.

But others might be okay with just a reading app that works offline, provides PoS highlighting and let's them build a vocab list (even in a less refined way).

> Nietzsche solved philosophy

Maybe in the sense the Von Braun solved rocketry. I agree that everything that has come since have been refinements to Nietzsche's developments (dare I say models) but those refinements have brought about the real-world application of philosophy more than Nietzsche ever did.

See Mao, or Popper, or even though I can't stand the guy Chomsky.
To add to the other replies: Game development happens under constant tight deadlines and doing things perfectly is almost never done because there's no time for it. Furthermore, starting with a pathfinding routine that returns the optimal path and then optimizing it so far that it can run under real-time constraints (you don't want a two-second pause when sending units around) is prone to break things. And figuring out why pathfinding results in bad paths in some cases can take quite a while (had to do so in a product that calculated cycling and hiking routes on a map). So I guess as long as the result is good enough (and the most common routes will be short anyway) there's no need to invest more time and instead focus on other things that are currently unshippably broken.

Zoho Mail and RunBox. Zoho has dedicated EU branch if you want that:

https://www.zoho.eu/

FastMail gets a lot of love here but I think Zoho has more to offer in the ecosystem if you are willing to pay. It's a pretty decent drop in functionality replacement for a lot of Google (docs etc).

RunBox is kind of simple and and old school but it's solid and works.

Zoho Mail is also available free too and it's extremely generous for ad free hosting:

Scroll down the page a bit under the paid for price listings and it's headed 'free plan'. Includes hosting your own domain too.

Storage in a data blob in Azure is just the default storage option. Users can and should connect their own storage providers (multiple for best prevention against centralized failure).
The web interface is fantastic, to the point where I use my Fastmail account for most of my email because it's less of a pain in the ass to go through.

The mobile app is also fantastic, but I've had instances in the past where I've received no notifications if an unread email is left in my inbox. I'm the kind of person that won't check my email unless I get a notification, so there have been times when a week has passed, and I've gone to wonder why I'm so unpopular, only to find a hundred unread emails from people wondering where I am.
well I have had all this opportunity (raise my kids, do charity, do yoga 3 times a day), but for me, a nice job (be it for my own company or for someone else) brings more happiness.

"All but impossible" means "very nearly impossible", not "impossible."

Certainly there are diseases which can cross the species barrier.

Foot-and-mouth disease, quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-and-mouth_disease , can infect "cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs,[4][5] antelope, deer, and bison. It has also been known to infect hedgehogs and elephants;[3][6] llamas and alpacas may develop mild symptoms, but are resistant to the disease and do not pass it on to others of the same species.[3] In laboratory experiments, mice, rats, and chickens have been successfully infected by artificial means, but they are not believed to contract the disease under natural conditions.[3] Humans are very rarely infected."

On the other hand, some diseases are species-specific. Smallpox and polio are two humans diseases which are not transmitted to other animals, which has helped us eradicate (or nearly so) those diseases.

RHDV1 K5 appears to be in the latter category, in that it has not been seen to infect even other species of rabbit, much less more distantly related animals.
> authors of build automation systems for medium to large scale software projects

For desktop software, a build automation system needs to handle files that are included in the installer, installed on user’s machines, and in some cases be discoverable by end users of the software.

I would be very surprised if my build system wouldn’t support spaces in file names.
