Yes, but you still need someone with startupy hustle, and with a CEO mindset, as well as a knack for ops.

In light of this, I'm truly perplexed by this choice.

This is not a 'resarch organization' or something like 'doctors without borders' for whom this guy would be a great choice.

Living outside of 'revenue' and 'products/services' all of one's career makes this a difficult choice.

I had some similar experiences with multiline text controls in the summer of last year, but it seemed to improve by around the fall. Not quite sure of the current state but it seemed to be improving.

Did this transition 10 years ago (Brazil). It takes some discipline. I guess the $100,000 CAD is not that good if you are working full time for them (specially in the most expensive provinces) because you will not have time for business development - and having just one big client is putting all eggs in one basket.

In USA health insurance is probably the most expensive thing for a contractor but I guess in Canada you have your bases covered.

My advice is to subcontract other people as soon as possible and invest the extra time to learn about sales, marketing and negotiation, then go after new business. Currency exchange rates are excellent for subcontracting from Brazil or Argentina.

Good luck and drop an email if you want to ask anything.
Seeing this has made me realize that I have one HUGE bug with native Postgres full text search.

On my blog, I have a lot of articles about the game series Borderlands. If you type "Borderlands" into the search box, it will find them, but if you type "border lands", it won't. Same with "starcraft" and "star craft", etc.

It looks like I will have to implement trigrams on top of full text search to fix:

Displaced Amazon workers help brands navigate Amazon's new automated system
I have admired Douglas Crawford's excellent JSON from the moment I saw it, it is a model of simplicity. I also like TOML and wish it all the best. By contrast, YAML is complex and could use a hair cut.

When I say "JSON didn't exist", what I mean is that it wasn't popular or known to us when we were working on YAML. So, please excuse my sloppy wording. For me, the work on what would become YAML started with a few of us in 1999 (from SML-DEV list). In January of 2001 we picked the name and had early releases. It took a few years of iteration before we had a specification the collaborators (Perl, Python, and Ruby) could all bless.

Anyway, with regard to Crawford's excellent work, JSON. It is a coincidence that YAML's in-line format happened to align. Although, it's probably because of a "C" ancestor, not JavaScript. The main influence on the YAML syntax was RFC0822 (e-mail), only that from my perspective, it needed to be a typed graph. In fact, we documented where we stole ideas from, to the best we could recall at that time: http://yaml.org/spec/1.0/#id2488920.

>My number one piece of advice: invest in the market, never invest in individual stocks.

I have been disregarding this very prominent advice since 2015. I am up over 200% since then, and up 40% YTD.

This is the same lame advice every financial advisor gives. It is even the advice Warren Buffett would tell you. However, Warren Buffett didn't get where he is today investing in ETF's and mutual funds, he invested in individual stocks.

I completely reject this notion that investing in individual stocks is some extremely difficult thing to do well. That you need to spend countless hours doing high level analysis of a companies financials, that is just plain false.
Running your personal finances like a YC startup means you will go bankrupt 90% of the time. Different goals for different situations.

I admit to feeding the troll here.

I would say that you’re onto something. I personally spent years finding myself, doing all sorts of things from dance, to drawing, and of course yoga and meditation. What struck me — regardless of whether I was amongst engineers or artists — is how many of us never advanced our sense of self, even though we became better and better at what we did.

You know what happened after all of that? Well we generally became more and more condescending towards people less accomplished than us, and all that impostor syndrome became directed outward.

Maybe I’m a little annoyed at the simplistic view towards “ego.” Ego is not just good or bad. Even in Western thought, the Jungians had a deeper treatment of the self than most would ever read, and there’s an idea that the best parts of ourselves are also related to the worst parts of ourselves. This is where someone with Buddhist inclinations might say it’s important to be able to see past/through the ego. Losing the self is important. Among other things, it helps you get in touch with your own mortality. Just as important is accepting one’s inevitable death, and for that, one must find some peace with the sense of self. So I wouldn’t read too much into it if some scientist, trying to stick verifiable labels onto things, mistook finding the self for “self-enhancement.” Then a journalist continued with their interpretation of the paper, and now we have a game of telephone. Last but not least, it is possible to do yoga and meditation badly.
I still have an old TiVo with lifetime which is really the only reason I still get cable TV. Honestly, if I were to drop cable, I'd probably just do without live TV. It would be a bit of a nuisance but I don't really watch sports or regular TV enough to justify the expense.
R.A. Fisher was right, as usual.
An interesting question here is whether this will ever affect what AMC ultimately pays the movie studios. In the same way that Moviepass had to pay AMC the full ticket price for each admission, I'm sure that for now AMC will have to pay the studios their full cut for each admission. But will the exhibitors start approaching the studios about working out a revenue sharing model for subscription passes that's not tied to individual admissions?
As a Moviepass user I'm likely gonna ride it til it dies then switch to this because:

1. Online ticketing means I can see a movie even the first night and not worry about selling out since you have to get to the theatre to buy the ticket

3. The concession rewards will def be nice too.

4. The IMAX/3D option is nice even if I don't use it much.

This was very smart and calculated by AMC, especially on the release date. It doesn't look like Moviepass has more than a few months left and won't be able to adjust to this. I'm also hoping this will force Regal to do the same because frankly, it's a better theatre when available.

I'll miss Moviepass and glad it came, but I don't see any way it lasts. I'm just glad I got the chance to burn the VC money towards over 40 movies in the past 10 months for the low price of $2.5 a movie.

Honestly though, this deal is surprisingly good as well and wondering if it goes away after Moviepass dies. The 12 month price guarantee is amazing too though.

Also, unlikely to persuade anyone of anything. It's a pretty well-known feature of human psychology that distant prospects don't motivate us the way they should. Actually, maybe the unreliability of long-term predictions is part of why we evolved to be like that...

"Serverless" is unrelated to P2P, although you could write serverless P2P apps/services. (Yes, I said "serverless services".)

A nice middle ground is hiring the hardware eg. dedicated servers. Then you can install whatever software you want on them. And you can hire servers in many data-centers for redundancy. You get full control of the software, but don't have to worry about hardware, Internet connection, power, etc. If there are problems on one server you just revert traffic to another. Migrating from one provider to another is super easy, compared to serverless, SaaS and PaaS.

The idea that attempting to help others out of a sense of moral duty often ends up harming everyone. (See the way local economies have been destroyed via foreign aid.)

The idea that self-interest can form the basis for cooperation and lead to mutually beneficial outcomes. This seems obvious, but our society demonizes "selfishness" so it can be a real epiphany for some people to see it spelled out.

That equality often leads to misery, since it's easier to grind everyone down to the same low level than it is to raise everyone up.

A few weeks ago, I had about 100 config files (tomcat context.xml) which all needed fixes for common misconfigurations - if they had the misconfigurations in the first place The kind of problem that is just a little bit too hard for search and replace. It was really easy with xslt. The result had all comments preserved. I choose to reformat the files, but keeping whitespace was an option too. Now tell me if you can do that with json,yaml,toml. Most parses simply forget about the comments to begin with.

In the same way, if we receive a data transfer in XML and there is a schema, simple validation catches a lot of problems quickly. You'd be surprised how many times a company gives you a schema and then sends you xml which doesn't validate. In JSON, you have to write a program to get even basic validation.

Don't get me wrong: XML has problems, some inherited from html/sgml (entities!), and even more after serious abuse by consultants, archicture astronauts and enterprise vendors (SOAP! namespace overuse! 10 XML parsers in 1 app!). But it was also miles better than what came before and I feel the XML hatred pendulum has swung too far.

Today, JSON is in vogue, and I've seen enough IT to not swim against the tide. It is a reasonable solution for problems caused by XML abuse. Besides, there is value in going with the majority,even if it only fixes 80% of your problem. But I can only weep for the miserable date, numeric and comment support, and their endless stream of incompatible workarounds.

For your parameter example: You can't both strictly validate and have full freedom at the same time. Something has to give a bit. Some less horrible alternatives I've seen:

<parameter name="X" value="Y"/>

<subsystem name1="value1" name2=value2 ... /> , add newline for each attribute

<name>value</name>

I used to be able to use keywords to divide the search space very effectively (ie "programming language" "concept" "version"). Now it seems that Google is concerned with over fitting and they've relaxed the power of each keyword to filter results (sometimes ignoring them altogether). The end result is I tend to get articles that are more general and it's difficult to get a highly detailed forum post or blog anymore.
The last 8 years has been a pretty good time for investing in indexes. The S&P 500 has gone up by a factor of about 2.5x over that time!

http://www.macrotrends.net/2488/sp500-10-year-daily-chart

If the market hasn't been going up enough for you to feel good about your investments over the past 8 years, you are probably not saving enough to meet your goals.
Past performance doesn't guarantee future performance. Your strategy has no floor. A strategy based on investing in the entire market has a floor (and ceiling) which is the performance of the market itself. It also performs the same for everyone who participates and guarantees the same outcome with no active management risk.
Is your business also your job? Then that’s sort of one source of income. Depending on how much money you have you might want to diversify.
It's interesting: when questions like this are asked, you definitely hear the sentiment echoed of "nobody beats the market consistently."

Which appears to be true, at least for the stats I've seen on money managers.

But for the smaller investor, where liquidity is less of an issue (we're not dumping tens of millions at a time), could there be an advantage there?

Or someone privy to industry information - e.g. I knew that New Relic was really popular, because I consult with startups, long before they went public. No surprise on their stock growth.

Just thinking out loud here... I'll probably just stick with our Vanguard Target Date Fund. :)
Yes, which is one reason I like PowerShell so much.

As a shell, the tab completion, parameter completion, long names, makes it easier to discover, easier to understand, and easier to remember.

Then it's a high level language too so if there's something that needs scripting, it doesn't mean a complete change from shell to Python/Ruby/Perl, it stays PowerShell.

Then it's a .Net language too, so if there's something getting a bit big for it, it doesn't mean a complete change to C#/Java instead, it means a small change to PowerShell with .Net methods, then maybe PowerShell with a C# core (like Python with a C module, but still much easier to create).

Of course there's a bit of XKCD "fix having too many things by adding another thing" going on.

But, the fact that it covers the common shell tools with all their different syntaxes reasonably well, and it can be tuned to approach the speed of C# as well, makes it useful for a whole lot of situations, despite having a pretty huge syntax and list of warts, it still seems to come out well.

I can understand wanting to be able to code without these features, but I can't understand "hating" them. I use "go to definition" not because I can't find a function definition, but because it gets me there faster. What's the moral advantage of opening a file and searching, vs hitting "M-."?

I'm not saying YAML is perfect or terrible (just like the author), however most of the examples the author gives are going to be the same for any language attempting to implicitly type values.

I think maybe YAML just went a bit too far: because everyone hates defining key names with quotes when it's unnecessary 99% of the time, but it would have been enough to relax that rather than go all the way to suggesting relaxing all quotes and then attempting to infer value types.
I was going to say apathy.
The most useful part of JSON support is making your query return data from multiple joins and sub-queries in one field. Then you can just json decode the result instead of fetching tons of rows. You could already do that with xmlagg but nowadays people like their JSON.

I'd like to propose the "YAML-NOrway Law."

"Anyone who uses YAML long enough will eventually get burned when attempting to abbreviate Norway."

Example:

NI: Nicaragua
NL: Netherlands
NO: Norway # boom!

`NO` is parsed as a boolean type, which with the YAML 1.1 spec, there are 22 options to write "true" or "false."[1] For that example, you have wrap "NO" in quotes to get the expected result.

This, along with many of the design decisions in YAML strike me as a simple vs. easy[2] tradeoff, where the authors opted for "easy," at the expense of simplicity. I (and I assume others) mostly use YAML for configuration. I need my config files to be dead simple, explicit, and predictable. Easy can take a back seat.

We saved the ozone layer yet have thus far done nothing substantive as far as carbon is concerned. We've diligently avoided any serious discussion of population pressure on the planet.

We know how to do these things, we know how to avoid the mistakes of the past. Yet we are not doing them. How do you propose getting the international community to do that work?

So my thoughts... do you have javascript disabled or was the faceting not visible/clear?
