Personally, I think so. Leave the custom Arch or Debian builds for those who need it, and have a polished Linux distro “for the masses”. That’s basically what Chrome OS is, and it’s pretty popular (though, I’d like it if it was more customizable like Android is rather than just being a web browser).

I just came back from the shop in my village where they were selling bacon made on the local farm. Having recently read this article I checked the ingredients: Preservatives (E250, E252). A quick search told me that E250 is Sodium nitrite, and 252 is potassium nitrate (saltpetre). Apparently the whole range 240-259 is for nitrates.

But this is a lie. You lose access to content after a course "ends", whether you've finished it or not.

Tangentially, I've heard it talked about that while the washing machine gets a lot of credit, it didn't have the effect most people think. When it was much harder to clean clothes, people just cleaned them less, and wore dirty clothes more often.

In fact, a much bigger timesaver was prepackaged food/microwave/ etc. For preparing food, there really isn't an alternative, because you have to eat every day - you can't simply eat less, as you can with the washing clothes case.

More information needed. $1 / call might be a deal if that is actually a savings over an alternative means of achieving the outcome. Or, $30/mo might be a real bargain for the consumer but a terrible business model for you. Also, depends on the target buyer and their expected usage.

My weekday routine:

- My alarm goes off at 7am. I ignore it and sleep for another 30 minutes. I do this because it helps me have dreams I can recall, and my biological clock wakes me up reliably anyway.

- Drink some water or cranberry juice and check email, HN, etc.

- Shower and brush teeth at the same time.

- Have a Rockstar Pure Zero energy drink. These have absolutely no effect on me at this point, but it's a ritual I enjoy. People who know me find this absurd, but it's considered normal to pay much more than I do for a coffee or sugar-filled frapuccino from Starbucks every morning.

- Drive to train station and take train to work.

- The first ~4 hours of work are what I consider my "office hours", which means that it's a time where I am going to work casually on light tasks with the expectation that I'm going to be interrupted by meetings and helping people. I do this for a couple reasons: One reason is that I don't think it's good for people to work hard for more than 4 hours a day, and the other is that I need to block off a period of the day where I can concentrate on an important task. After my office hours, it's unlikely that I'm going to be needed for anything, so I will either work from home for the rest of the day or be slow to reply to low-priority issues.

- Get home around 5:30pm. Either eat at Waba Grill or go to the grocery store to get ingredients to make dinner at home. I hardly keep anything in my fridge and pantry because I'm likely to pig out. Plus it gives me an opportunity to be around people.

- Work out in my home gym. I have my Xbox set up in front of my treadmill, so I'll play Halo Reach multiplayer while walking between 3 and 4 MPH. No, I've never fallen and hurt myself; I have an excellent inner ear. For strength, I mostly rely on my Total Gym and my pull-up bar. Pull-ups are amazing, by the way. If I could take one piece of gym equipment with me anywhere I go, it would be a pull-up bar.

- If it's a Tuesday, my neighbor and I hang out on my porch and chat about life and the state of the world over beer or whisky.

- Work on personal projects. I do this way too much, and it takes a toll on my health. Sitting down for long periods of time sucks.

- Go to bed between 10:30p, but realistically I'll fall asleep around 11:30p because I listen to lectures on YouTube to wind down.

My weekends too often get consumed by coding personal projects. Again, this is a mixed bag because I would be thrilled to create a project that ends up being successful, but it also means long periods of time where I'm not getting outside. If I'm not coding anything, then I'm definitely out in the wilderness.

Like you, I have an almost obsession-level fascination with Linux on palmtops. I think I can trace it all the way back to seeing a young John Connor ‘hack’ an ATM or something in the watershed Terminator 2 movie when I was a kid.

Like you I've had an HP 200LX (the closest I've come to Connor's pocket Atari-or-whatever), a Compaq iPaq, a PSION Series 7 ‘netbook’, and (most recently, not Linux-related) an Apple eMate 300 (the clamshell, translucent, school-oriented Newton ‘laptop’ variant).

Saab designs have always been timeless (mostly pre-GM of course) and still look great today.

The easiest fix for the balance chain issue on 9000s is to simply remove it. It's a whole subsystem only there to counter vibrations for smoother engine operation. This speaks to your point about over-engineering, but is also an illustration of the kind of design that makes the car feel so good.
Interesting thread, going to check out it and the OP. I've entertained thoughts of getting a handheld pocket Linux-based device. Would want a way to type on it to do light programming though, without it being too awkward or slow.
A while ago, had almost decided to buy a Nokia N900 based on a glowing description of it by an acquaintance who had one, then did not buy it due to a couple of issues - read a negative review of one component of it (a USB connector, IIRC), and it was also discontinued, IIRC.

Apropos of the OP, anyone know what happened to LinuxDevices.com? It used to be a decent news site about the topic. Maybe it got acquired or closed down.

> After you've been coding for almost 2 decades across multiple industries, coding becomes predictable and tedious.

Move out of your comfort zone and take on some projects outside of your established expertise.

> Unlike many other fields, the returns that you make from investing in yourself as a software developer/engineer don't compound; they start to depreciate as soon as you stop trying to keep up.

This is only true if you invest in frameworks/libraries/languages/etc. If you invest in understanding problems faced within industries and how to solve them with software, that's not something that depreciates.

Just so that doesn't sound like something abstract, take for example an e-commerce marketplace. Knowing that you need to create two objects, one for the order and another as an invoice for each seller within that order, isn't knowledge that will depreciate with time.

On top of that, there is general knowledge of algorithms and a thousand other things that are sufficiently generalized that they can be applied at any time.

Generally, every model is wrong about something. That the core difference between models and the things we model. Every description is an approximation of some sort.

However, some things are tautological. Some things may be necessary in reality, even if they are not in any model. (I wake up each morning because I have no alternative, not because it is the 'right thing to do'.) Some things are very safe to assume because our human cultural context or our biological environment is stable over multiple generations of activity. And some things are true simply because assuming otherwise contradicts the assumptions needed for language to work effectively. And sometimes we do prove things, even if we lack any meaningful ability to prove what we'd like to the degree that we'd like.

The point is, we're not always wrong in a linguistic sense. Any time you have a statement that is perfectly symmetrical and valid in every context, you do not have language which can be used to make decisions. It's only meaningful to be wrong if there are things you can be right about.

> I'm convinced the keyboard will render the thing useless

I find it quite comfortable for 10 finger typing after getting used to it. I am not much more ineffective using it than a full keyboard. But it definiteiy needs practice; I think being a touch typist helps, but the q/tab are definitely really annoying to finally get out of your system.

The Pandora is far worse for that but even with that I wrote games on the device itself. It does make me feel a lot better on train/plane trips than just fiddling with my phone, but ofcourse that's a matter of taste.
I am without a doubt that white nationalists and Nazis are wrong.

Depends on the API.

Generally I prefer flexible pricing, since we might need to scale up - i.e. if we double some limit, I want to be able to pay $60 rather than be blocked.

Some other considerations:

1. Have a free tier to let developers play with your API. i.e. first 1000 calls per month are free.

2. If you do variable pricing, let people set a limit and alert them before they hit that limit.
Why on earth are blaring horns the first thing on your video?

It's an immediate 'close tab' motion for a lot of people.

Cut that part out and you'll have a lot more eyeballs on your product.
They are all built with Rails.
Depends on whether other people control how often I call the API. Is it a scheduled task I run? Then I'd rather pay $1/1000. Is it a trigger that fires when a new user signs up for my service, or sends a link? I'll take the guaranteed flat rate.
These are all questions to be addressed, along with 'how many of those miles should we upgrade', 'what will we get out of it', and 'how do we make a self-driving car'.

> White nationalists are wrong

White nationalists present some interesting problems, problems that are real and valid. Their lens is wrong (this problem exists, therefore I will interpret the problem in a way that I am superior and others are inferior).

Your doubt should come from that understanding.
I agree with this. This gets you the cheapest offer (pay as you use) while having an upper cost bound giving you peace of mind.
Think deeply about your father. Reflect on times when he's been funniest, had the most fun, and why you admire him. From this perspective think about how you would want to talk about this article. Maybe ask about his opinion on some of the details in the middle.

In other words rather than figuring out a strategy to get him to read it that is adversarial but somehow slips under his defenses, figure out how to get yourself in the right frame of mind to introduce ideas on how to be more effective to someone you think is important. Presumably your father is enough like you that he will be able to tell when you are treating him like someone who needs to be emotionally managed, as opposed to when you are having a two-way conversation.

Maybe one marker of managing someone is when the speaker is not focusing on themselves at all. When you talk to a friend you like you are likely concerned about how you are portraying yourself as well as whether or not you are getting your way.

At a very high level —- I’m willing to pay a premium for a service at any reasonable cost, and if my business is dependent upon it. Metered use encourages consumers to be more mindful of how they use APIs. Monthly fixed fees help consumers to forecast spending more loosely; however, as a business that is depending on your service, I am also concerned about your operational scale (all you can eat is great until too much has been eaten by the aggregate customer base).

As most others will probably say: it depends. If your service is a commodity that I can switch out for another service easily, perhaps a fixed monthly fee is the only way to go. But if it’s a very unique service, metered may be the way to go.
> I think that the main problem with Elm is that Evan wants to design the perfect system.

This. For the good and for the bad Elm's creator seems to be a perfectionist and every perfectionist is a control freak (I'm a recovering one). If you read the Elm newsgroup you'll see that he even controls the website design. By the other hand - if we wait some years - we have a good chance of getting a great language.

Disinfecting things isn't as hard as some might think. Sewage processing, for example, is pretty low-tech. By the time your toilet water makes it to the plant, most of the poop has dissolved. They run the liquid through a metal strainer to get most of the non-organics out (condoms, tampons, etc). Then the sewage is pumped into settling ponds where most of the solids settle to the bottom and they aerate it so that the bacteria can do their thing and digest it further. They move the liquid through a succession of ponds and tanks until it's basically clear and everything has settled out. To disinfect it, they either run it through a mesh of UV light tubes or add bleach (less ideal). After that's done, you could basically drink the water but they typically dump it into a stream.
Make of it what you will but they appear to be a bunch of commits that amount to removing white space or adding/removing comments with messages like "Code refactoring". It looks a lot like someone trying to get their git blame count up by any means other than writing actual code.
Weinstein company avoids bankruptcy with $500m deal by majority female investors
I really love the Twilio model personally. I've got a system that is pretty seasonal, and it costs $10/mo for the DigitalOcean VM and pennies/mo (+$1 for the number) most months for Twilio. Around holidays and long weekends, the Twilio costs ramp up quite a bit (I think it hit $100-200 in a weekend once), but it's fine because that's when it makes money.

Only having to pay when we use it helps keep the overhead down dramatically. I've never considered looking at other options because it's been great.

For developers, too, I think the pay-per-usage or fixed-monthly model works well when it's something that they can tangibly understand. Looking at my example above, I'm fine with the fixed monthly DO cost because I know that there's some fraction of some real computer "out in the cloud" that is reserved for me and that is running my code continually. I also know that Twilio has a finite number of phone numbers available, and $1/mo to reserve one of those makes sense to me. But I also know that the way most telecom agreements work is that they bill based on usage, so me getting charged based on usage works fine for me. If they wanted to charge me $20/mo for a number even if I had not sent any messages at all, that'd be harder to swallow.

Edit: also, it probably depends on whether you're selling to small businesses or enterprises. My experiences with enterprises is that they seem to prefer having fixed costs even if it ends up costing more. Seems like it has to do with how budgets and funds get allocated. "Our SMS sending costs went up by a factor of 100 because it's Christmas" doesn't seem like something that flies very well, even if the pay-per-usage model averages out lower over time.
@dctoedt As they say IANAL, but more importantly I suspect the project author isn’t a lawyer. The issue isn’t the viability of a standard for simplifying legal documents (insert overused XKCD standards comic), its the viability of a standard for simplifying legal documents that was designed by non-experts.

That said, I’m doubtful a code-book approach like you suggest would result in a net improvement in readability of existing licenses (which I think is the goal), particularly in an era when AI-driven contract analysis engines are starting to be able to read and summarize legal documents for informing normal people on the document’s meaning as well as experienced lawyers. My guess is in 2-3 years something like google translate will actually be able to do a better job of achieving these license readability goals than any of the human-authored approaches in discussion here.
