But your wants and needs aren't universal.

My perfect editor needs to be as configurable and customizable as possible, and I couldn't give a rats ass about startup performance or large file rendering performance.

For me, an editor where I can't display inline images alongside text which is in multiple languages (including some RTL languages) while linting and providing IDE level features all while displaying inline test coverage results is worse than an editor that starts instantly.

From that perspective, a browser is the perfect abstraction.

It's okay if Atoms priorities aren't for you, but saying they are wrong is like saying trains are wrong because they can't do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.

we also have to beware that we don't end up in a world of devices we cannot do anything on.

IMHO it's already gotten a bit too far in that direction, and if there's no mass revolt (which is itself quite unlikely), it's only going to get worse. The old Franklin quote has never been so relevant... people these days are so highly valuing "safe" over "free", that they don't realise they're building prisons around themselves.
As others have mentioned already, 2008-2018 was a historic bull run and not at all representative. Anyone buying in 2008 or even sometime later was effectively making a very risky bet that the then-current recession would be over quickly and that growth would pick up again. The conventional wisdom at the time was rather different, as I'm sure you're quite aware of.
This exactly. It's like starting a business, more so, a bootstrapped business. You have to make sacrifices to achieve your goal. You probably would need to spend 16-18 hours a day testing all the different ways you can find your edge. It's a never ending cycle as well, so once it starts to work, you have to keep refining it. The first few years are pretty challenging but when it pays, it pays. Many businesses fail, similarly, many traders fail as well.
If you are in Silicon Valley and want to experience a flip, try out 'the haberdasher' in san jose. So good. If they have a good thick stout on tap, get the 'beer flip' - I can't tell you what's in it, other than it's cold and sweet and slightly carbonated and involves a whole egg and some stout. How good it is depends a lot on what kind of stout they use; the best I've had was with a peanut butter stout.

Their 'fenway flip' is also pretty great.

The rest of their drinks are pretty good, too, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable if you come on a weeknight when they aren't too busy.
> MIDI is just a protocol, it doesn't care which cable it gets sent over, as long as both ends of the cable know which message transport system if being used.

Strictly speaking, no. MIDI also specifies the mechanical and electrical connections. There is a MIDI USB device class specification, but that's not an implementation of the MIDI 1.0 standard and just roughly corresponds to its packet protocol.
USB with it's max 5 m cable length unless you use special repeaters etc wouldn't be a good choice IMHO.

If you wanted to switch to something common, I'd personally say Ethernet (or something "normal", and a specified transport over Ethernet). Handles the distances and data rates more than fine, parts to implement it are widely available, it's already used more and more in stage and recording setups, so specialized components are available too. In the audio sector, standards to distribute precise clocks are around, one could maybe reuse those to get it past P2P connections (although that kind of gear is still kind of expensive right now). Still quite a step up in complexity though...
I think what you have done (and are doing) is great first off. However a few questions.

1) Why do you use your name for your site ( jasonpomerleau.com ) rather than something easy to remember? For example I run into cases where people are going to need a wordpress site but no way I am going to remember that when I need it.

2) Why does your site have a big picture of you as the homepage image? And I do mean a big picture of you? What is that your unique selling point?

Not intended to be snarky and what you have done is great just curious.

It fails to compile the program

#include <iostream>

int main() {
int x = 23;
std::cout << x;
return 0;
}

It seems like it can't handle namespaces.

When I write

#include <vector>

it complains, "cannot find library: vector".

I think this isn't going to be very useful for people unless you get a C++ evaluator that works correctly. There is a demo of Clang running in the browser using webassembly here: >> https://tbfleming.github.io/cib/ << but it doesn't actually work for me on Firefox. Maybe I need to use Chrome. That is probably a better option for getting C++ running in the browser.
Do you have any more info on active development stopping on Atom?
I don’t really have time to give a thoughtful answer (it would be quite long), but the exact post you responded to gave an obvious difference. To roughly summarize that difference, producing anything of value in mathematics requires learning a tremendous amount of prior art, and without a tremendous amount of work you won’t even know what’s of value. It’s no wonder that many crackpots choose to work on high profile number theory problems, like Goldbach’s conjecture and previously Fermat’s Last Theorem, since the formulations are simple enough for laypeople to understand, yet the theories behind developed over hundreds of years are incredibly deep.

> everything else that’s worth learning: hard!

I disagree. I’ve learned many things worth learning that are not hard at all, but to each their own.

In my experience, StackOverflow has become oversaturated, while IRC is as good as it ever was.

There's so many questions on StackOverflow these days you're counting on luck that someone (qualified) sees your question. Most questions I've asked in the past year never get to even 10 views, or 1 answer. Another problem is that you're not supposed to respond unless you have The Answer, so if you don't happen to get an expert to read it, you often get nothing at all. Some fields seem to be perpetually full of beginners -- Lisp-related tags are often loaded with "help with hello world" questions.

StackOverflow also has the Close Police, who seem to patrol questions looking for any excuse to close it. Even after 10 years, I can't predict when a question might be flagged.

On IRC, there might be only 5 people actively participating in a channel, but 100 lurkers. When you ask a question, people respond with suggestions even if they don't have The Answer, and this often leads to a workable solution.

The average quality of response on IRC is much higher, as well. A lot of the lurkers are actually semi-famous developers. On more than one occasion, I've asked how to do something like $(app) does, and someone says "$(dev) here wrote $(app), just ask them!".

StackOverflow is from the social media generation of software, where you need a pretty avatar, and accumulate points, and there's rules you must not break. IRC is from the pre-web generation of software, where there are no absolute rules, and you just want to get shit done.
Open offices aren't so bad if you have a large personal space (eg, large desk and some room to move around). If you have a small/standard desk, it gets a lot worse.
I am not talking about dell specifically, I am talking about this idea that people have, when they disregard someone if they don’t beat the return they would get just by investing in s&p
>The former is ludicrous to the point of being a strawman, and I don't understand what it proves by being true. The latter is trivially true and demonstrates that billionaires do choose to passively grow their fortunes.

The point is that it's a direct refutation of the real strawman argument: that Michael Dell, self-made billionaire, is an idiot because he could have _possibly_ made more money at some point by engaging in a different economic activity. He didn't become a billionaire by passive investing, he became a billionaire by actively building businesses, which he continues to do.

WRT to liquidity let's say that Dell wanted to invest $15B over 2013 in the stock market. That's $70MM every single trading day of the year. The SEC, thinks that $20MM in a calendar day is a large investor that could affect markets, and require 13H form registration. So it's clear the SEC at least doesn't agree with the premise that a single billionaire cannot affect the market.

Companies of this size also self-insure with the insurance company providing management. This means that having an older workforce means the company's insurance costs are much higher. Corporate self-insurance is the reason many companies invest in wellness plans, as they offset the costs of insuring less healthy employees.
You could do with a lot less condescension to be frank.

I don't really understand your claim with respect to liquidity, either. Be precise. Are you talking about slippage? Do you really think someone parking billions of dollars in the market would do so without staggering it to avoid prices moving against them? It's not like he's just going to throw $15 billion into the SPX and hope the daily volume adjusts without a problem.
> Is there any money in website design for small businesses anymore?

> I suddenly felt like I don't have anything to offer that business. I feel so discouraged. I'm a decent programmer

It's not about programming but about design and offering the customer a better product than they can do themselves. Plus you have to have the type of clients (or be able to sell them) on what you can do for them that is better than what they can do themselves. Even if it's just making it simple and not requiring them to think ('don't make me think'). I am sure in the comments here others have said the exact same thing. This is no different than any other sale and marketing. You are one person you aren't trying to fill the pipeline enough for 20 programmers just yourself.

I compete in another area (not web design) which is similar. There are people that do the same exact thing and practically give it away. If I can't get that account either I am not selling or I've got the wrong prospect.
> How would that not affect organizations like the EFF or ACLU or whatever the EU equivalents are?

This seems like comparing apples to oranges. It's one thing for the EFF or ACLU to be very public about pushing this or that piece of legislation that they wrote for all practical intents and is in the public interest. It's another for XYZ lobbyists to be very private about pushing this or that piece of legislation that they wrote for all practical intents and caters to very private interests, with incidentally interested large donators reaching out to MPs about the legislation in question.

(Personally speaking, I'd love it if politicians were required, under penalty of fines and prison, to disclose lobbying efforts they were exposed to.)
That loses one of the big benefit though: being able to take breaks from the tight lace and restore it easily on the go

I can't imagine the weight couldn't be cut down to the same order of magnitude you're looking at for a shoe with strong support anyway.
I might be wrong but I don't think that larger tech companies get that many more applicants for jobs than smaller companies do. Beyond FAANG I don't think there is really much more "status" around working for a large company vs working for small company. Most people understand that just because the company you work for is large one doesn't mean your job is any more challenging or technically advanced than it as at a small company.

Also a company hiring a mid-level developer (say around 3 years experience) doesn't really have that much of a pool to chose from. Most good developers are already in jobs and pickings are slim, its a buyers market.
I'm saying either of you should be able to terminate the relationship at any moment for any reason. You can discriminate in any way towards your employer if you're racist, sexist, ageist, etc.

Even if the evidence is not crystal clear that impacts to the head cause brain damage, I think it’s worth erring on the side of caution when trying to figure out if knocking your brain around against the skull damages it, even if it doesn’t cause a concussion.

Its all about economics over time.

Those starting IBM straight out of school then sticking around for 10 years vs. people coming into IBM with 10 years of experience are two separate worlds.

For example: if you started IBM 10 years ago with an undergrad, you might have been offered $55k where I live.

Then over time, you might get 2 promotions and economical raises from software engineer -> staff software engineer -> advisory software engineer. You might work yourself up to $100k. However, they would motivate new grads with ivy league degrees with 100k offers. It made me physically ill at one point working in hiring and watching coworkers get turned down for minor requests for raises to amounts lower than what these fresh faces are getting before negotiations start.

If you want to hire someone with 10 years of outside experience, those people would command at least $150 - $175k, but IBM could get 3 college grades for the price of 2 experienced hires.

Thats what I mean about college grads getting paid more than more senior employees, while college grads are cheaper than experienced hires.

Those who worked at IBM for 20 years have less motivation to keep up with current trends and tend to focus on proprietary offerings they work on. As a result, college grads are better economical value since they come 'pretrained' with the new stuff. This is my theory why older people are first to go, especially in the short product cycles IBM tend to have.

A previous co-worker who still works at IBM has been there about 20 years and he pulls $140k... I have 6 years out of college so far and pull $150k + $15k bonus + 10% yearly RSUs at a listed public business down the road. Thats not an abnormal salary)
Ugh, that’s a bit of a catch-all arugment, though. Acohol addiction? Societal norms problem. Education? Societal norms problem. Going or a killing spree? Societal norms problem. Bad teeth? Societal norms problem. Having to listen to everyone’s opinion out of being polite? Societal norms problem.

Maybe you should find someone with severe ADHD and try to convince them it’s not a problem at all, see how that goes.

Emacs does provide these features, and it's not too slow at startup either. It's a really nice operating system "abstraction"... too bad that they haven't gotten around to making a good editor for it.
Rawr!

Also, one person working crazy hours will not magically save the day on a project. Even if it does, the exec/product owner/whatever is going to get the bonus.
This is a lot harder to achieve than it sounds. Open source hardware projects that go as far as chip design - are there any of these that have been successful?

It needs a lot of money. You'd have to sell people a free virtual spaceship with the thousand-dollar tiers, maybe. And persuade people to accept higher per-unit costs than the cheap Chinese equivalents.
Is there a study or some other resource of someone who looked at all these cases and calculated a cost, then compared them to these "other, more economical solutions to reduce CO2"? And are those "show hn" style prototypes, or is there anything that actually makes a difference that shows up on national statistics (of a country of your choice)? You make it sound as if there is no reason to go for nuclear at all, while that's not what I hear from others.

Edit: by the way, I did not downvote you (one cannot downvote direct replies) and don't know why you are. Maybe it's because you never mentioned what those economical options are, so your post does not really add much to the subthread without further information?
Yes, but it's the same time period of Dell's growth so it's most relevant. His investment return would also be far more surprising over most other 10 year periods. As it is... he just matched the broad market so risk (and effort) adjusted it's actually not good at all.
This would be awesome for casual runners too, not just pro/semi-pro basketball players.

I've received around a dozen of these, all with different bitcoin addresses. All of them came from a Linkedin breach a few years ago.

Comparing difficulty between FM and SID is a bit apples to oranges. The SID has analog variance in its filter, and no two are exactly the same, so a pure DSP implementation has to do rather heavy math to approximate the filter. As a result most people lean on a handful of SID emulation cores because otherwise their emulation is just wrong.

OTOH the things that tend to differentiate implementations of Yamaha's FM are the sample rates, bit depths, and envelopes used, plus any output distortion(YM2612 for example has a well known distortion in its implementation that adds a harsher edge). The core algorithms they use are something a high school student could pick up and do something with, and emulation quality issues are more a matter of it being easy to write an emulation that gets it 98% correct without covering the last steps, since those are details that really need error-for-error reproduction of the original ASICs and boards, including any timing issues - things which frustrate emulator writers everywhere.
It might depend on where you are; here (south EU) it works fine. I know many one person companies making a nice living of making sites for restaurants, real estate agents etc aka very small companies. They have no clue Wix exists but they do not care anyway; they do not want to do it themselves. Even if it is easy, most realize a site is not enough; it is a continues process and they want to spend as little time as they can on it.

This country already has a prison population of 2.2 million and you want to make it bigger? Who is going to foot the $31k to $60k per year per prisoner it takes to incarcerate all these prisoners, especially considering that you're suggesting increased jailing of the population of people that already pay like 98% of federal and state taxes.

If anything, we already put too many people in prison.
When they're a big enough player that monopolizes the available inventory of holiday homes in a region or city you would be backing yourself into a corner by not having the option.

Actually, you can do a lot more with Wix Code, and make a site with all kind of custom functionality, including 'a way to take orders online and get people to buy their special offers and refer their friends through social media'.

But to use Wix Code, you will need to know some level of coding, hence value to sell for your clients.

And I agree, there is a huge market for people to build websites for customers, you need to focus on the value you deliver to your customers, from design all the way to coding, SEO, content and social.
