Nice build! Not sure what all the Reddit people are gushing over—you used pretty standard construction techniques and materials. Mine’s identical (only 12x6) and only took a couple of weekends too. I had never built anything like that before trying it. Basic wood construction is not hard at all. You just need to measure well and cut straight and take your time. For tools all you really need is a quality circular saw and framing hammer.
I run a boutique accounting services firm in the northwest--18 employees, <5mm in revenue. We do a fair amount of out-of-town work, which requires some travel.

I'm also married, a father of six kids, and we live out of town on 2.5 acres with a sizable orchard.

One thing that helps keep things balanced is that my wife chose long ago to stay at home with our young ones. She is my best friend, and we always make decisions together, which is a huge help when confronted with the inevitable time-conflicts that new opportunities or old problems present.

I enjoy my job. Frankly, my job is absent a lot of the drudgery that many people have. It is challenging, and while we're not the startup-crazy-growth type of business, we are slowly growing and there's always something new to be done. The worst for my family and for my health has been the travel. From August 2018 to December 2018 I was on the road 11 weeks out of 22; roughly half of the fall was spent out of town, working out of a hotel and customer locations. I ate too well and exercised too little, and missed my family terribly.

When I'm in town, I work from 7am to 5pm, but I have almost no commute--it takes me only 10 minutes on rural roads to get to my office. Deer and school buses are the only delays! It's much easier to eat healthy foods and exercise.

I haven't worked a Saturday or Sunday in years--even while traveling, I'm nearly always able to be home on the weekends. This has been a huge help in keeping me grounded and giving time to putter around the orchard and play with my kids.
I cannot imagine when the product group was sitting around kicking out product ideas that this didn't make at least a few of them chuckle. I can imagine that at least a couple of them went home that night and, laughing, told their SO, "... and we're going to put asparagus in it and sell it for $6!!!"

I mean, how could any normal person NOT laugh at this?
So in this case this has nothing to do with treating suicidal ideation and instead strictly for recreational consumption?

As long as it didn't do so by paying people less than $15/hour and provide no sick leave, Sanders and Schumer don't seem to have a problem with that.
Well I took a written survey about my symptoms answered some questions. Doc said my brain did not produce enough of something and wrote me a script.

She's a funny old lady and was hilarious about how she liked these pills because it did not effect my funny hand gestures here.

I was sceptical, but took half a pill as she instructed. Next thing I know I am eating a sandwich at chick-fill-a not hating Chick-fil-A people thinking normal is going to be EASY.

I kept taking half pills a week longer that instructed because the positivity was a bit much to take.

I accidentally took 2 pills a couple times and I feel so positive I annoy myself.

If I forget a pill the old familiar negativity and muscle pain in my shoulders comes back.

I do still dislike Chick-fil-A people.
That's a noble idea, but you must be joking thinking you are going to be able to build a sub $1000 trailer home with basic tools. The steel for the trailer alone will cost $1k on top of $200 for a decent welder. Factor in lumber, nails, windows, roofing, waterproofing, etc.

What total square footage are you aiming for?
This is a great piece of advice. However I think it should be added that a strategy that works for snack products (sub $10 purchase) may not be successfully transferred to more expensive products.

It only works as long as the effort for a money-back is essentially not worth most customers' time. This is almost always the case for a sub $10 product, but the economics look different for e.g. a $100 product or a $1000 product.
YouTube Copyright Claims R Insane:British Company Claims Kenya's National Anthem
In my own opinion, vscode is good for small demo/test project. It falls short when it comes to manage a lot projects in parallel. I manage near twenty different (very small) python projects that are published on a private pypi. When I need to change a tool that is used by another one, I find it more easy to do that in one pycharm project.

The git integration is far from good and seem to do a lot a magic that is not needed. Branching, merging, viewing history, upstream management, are not clear enough for me. I'm never sure if the upstream will ends all messed up after a push.

The debugger is doing the minimal job but it lacks the pycharm feature "python console" that allows to execute arbitrary python code within the select stack context. For instance in a recursive method, you can put a breakpoint to get the stack context and then code new line with a real execution context which helps to code faster (for me)

vscode uses plugins ala sublime text (which is my defacto notepad). And like sublime text you need to explore/test/uninstall for your plugins and there are a lot of bad ones, working in progress, halfbaked plugins. If you want to have python IDE that works, you need to test a lot of non working plugins. And then, when you reinstall vscode, all this job need to be done again.

pycharm (free community version) is shipped with a strong base of features that is ready to use. But it lack the "sublime text" ease of configuration. You want to highligth or fold a java file, you can't ( buy intellij for that :( ). Sort lines/unique, view a CSV like in libreoffice, sort json, realign obscure file type like logstash.conf are all things that are easier to do with vscode/sublime text. pycharm is heavier and the development seems to be slower than vscode. new versions tends to be buggy.

My best wish would be that jetbrain changes its business model to deliver only one IDE that can manage all type of code (like vscode) but with all the strong features that comes by default, that could be activate on demand.

So pycharm is still better that vscode, but it will die if it does not adapt. (sorry english is not my first language)

Once you start redistributing wealth, it turns into a grand 300-million-person argument over who gets what.

Immigration arguments because each immigrant would be entitled to something, often more than they contribute for some period of time.

Childbearing arguments, for essentially the same reasons as immigration.

Arguments about drugs and other vice, becasue everyone would want to make sure you are contributing as much as you can, and many feel drugs prevent that.

Arguments about education and career choices.

There are no absolutes, but as long as people basically believe that they have what they create, then they will focus on creating and not worry about what other people create (or not). When they believe they have what they can get through the political process, they will focus on political fights.

Fundamentally, freedom and large-scale socialism don't mix. In a socialist system, there are just too many other people who have a vested interest in what you do (and don't do). It may work in small countries or on short time scales, but these arguments eventually result in authoritarian policies.
Did you actually go to Zucotti park?

I went back in 09 and it was effectively equivalent in my mind to a big swap meet or a hippie craft faire. Light years of difference between that an firebombing riots.

> Did you use any guides on how to build your shuttle bus?

Nothing specific but I did about six months of research before I started, reading blogs, forums, reddit, and watching videos.

> What do you do about external services (e.g. showering/toiletries)?

I have a shower and a toilet. I also go to the gym at least once a week. Most campgrounds have a waste dump station. I have 42 gal fresh and waste tanks. I haven't had trouble finding places to dump.

> What do you do about insurance (break-ins, fires, etc.)?

I have insurance. It'd be the same as any vehicle having a break-in or fire.

> Do you use public parking and move around or do you buy a parking spot somewhere?

Public parking. I almost always move daily so as to not be an annoyance.

> Do you remote work / freelance?

I have a full time remote job. One reason I wanted to build my own instead of buying an RV is for a desk. I built a standing desk workstation with a 34" ultrawide monitor.

That sounds like a great line to put in your <noscript> tag! For the three or four people who hit your site with JS disabled each decade. ;)

"Price Hipster is a modern website and requires JavaScript to be enabled."

This tells me nothing about what the site does, why the site needs Javascript enabled, or gives me any incentive to whitelist Javascript for the site since I don't know why or what it will be doing with Javascript.

Now, I happen to know what your site does because of your (previous) post here on HN. So I understand that what you are doing more or less requires Javascript and that's fine. On the plus side, at least you have a message instead of literally-a-blank-page! :)

Didn't mean to pick on you, as I mentioned in the post it was basically the first five hits on HN for "this website is blank with Javascript disabled" since I don't keep a personal list.

I have one. It's just okay. It's great for finishing things melting cheese on dishes, etc., but it's a little under-powered for searing a steak nicely, especially if there's any moisture present. It's fine for one steak. For two or three, the first would get cold before the others were ready.

If, for example, you were intending to prepare a meal for yourself and your romantic partner, I would recommend getting two. I doubt there are many things more attractive than being fed tasty food by a person dual-wielding a couple of torches.
That's how it works, rights are stripped away slowly over time and power is concentrated in government hands. It's like boiling a frog, if you try to do it all at once people will revolt, instead they just do it insidiously. The US was created over a 3% tea tax, didn't have any income tax until 1913. Now many people pay close to 50% of their income in tax between state and federal, plus sales tax, gas tax, property tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, etc

Yes and I'm glad they do. Branching to a non 16-byte aligned address is much slower. Accessing misaligned data is slower too.
It's not impossible to imagine an established brand being successful with better packaging and marketing. But it's clearly just Joe from the produce department filling bottles with water and asparagus, haphazardly slapping a generic sticker on it, and calling it a day. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the lone initiative of a creative store manager who wasn't thinking too much or hard about it. I've seen equally egregious products at Starbucks.

Why would you need a large home for that? You can have a small home with multiple rooms.
You're right! Caseworkers are absolutely critical to a functional social services system!

Perhaps they could use a records management system that helps them keep track of everything across a sizable, and maybe not perfectly coordinated, series of agencies? It might even make it easier to advocate for our vulnerable neighbors and friends who need understanding, compassion, and assistance.

Right now I'm sure you're thinking "Surely SF caseworkers have something like that!". And that's a very reasonable assumption to make - they certainly do now. They didn't before, when care and aid for those who are unhoused was more disorganized.
Yeah, I've been in the hospital twice in the last 2 years thanks to the stress of running a company and obsessing about being productive. I've made lifestyle changes and they've not only made me more productive but also healthier physically and mentally.

Lifestyle changes:

- Live near work to avoid traffic
- Work around 35 hours a week
- Don't take my work home
- Don't even think about work on weekends
- Do things that make me happy and unrelated to work
- Don't stress about attending every tech meetup
- Moderate alcohol consumption. Used to drink everyday
- Exercise but don't obsess about it
- Understand building a successful company takes years of work
- Therapy. Don't need it as much anymore but I check-in on a monthly basis
- Constantly remind myself that Health > Happiness > Work

Usual routine goes like this:

- 6:00am: Wake up, make breakfast, shower, etc.
- 7:20am: I'm at work at 7:30 am (10 mins commute)
- 7:30am: Meditate 20 mins
- 7:50am: Set objectives for the day
- 8:00am: Get stuff done. (insert productivity tips here)
- 3:30pm: Eat lunch
- 4:00pm: Get home and relax
- 4:30pm: 20 mins workout at home
- 5:00pm: Spend time with my wife and disable phone notifications
- 6:00pm: I may play the guitar, play videogames or watch some Netflix
- 8:00pm: Make dinner, probably some new recipe I found on the internet
- 8:30pm: Watch some TV show or read a book, or just chill
- 10:00pm: Get to bed

EDIT: formatting.
I don't get the controversy. Now, I would never buy asparagus water, but I also don't shop at Whole Foods. It's long been known that Whole Foods is historically a place that sells a lot of merchandise that is not necessary but is trendy, and they charge a premium for it.

You could just as easily say that sparkling water is a mistake when you can get tap water and seltzer tablets for cheaper, or that Coca Cola is a mistake when you can get sugar and caramel and water and mix them yourself.

Asparagus water sounds awful to me. But so does a lot of stuff that normal people buy, things that are not strictly necessary for survival but people like for some reason. This article is just "hey Whole Foods is expensive and trendy, has anyone noticed this?"
You're so far off it's not even funny.
Given the level of automation and monitoring that's being built in The People's Republic I suspect this is more a message of "don't even think about 'innocently' probing systems for vulnerabilities"... imagine the potential chaos if someone figured out how to Blue Screen their version of Domain Awareness?

Intellectuals can be poor and/or make bad choices too. I know plenty of smart people who are struggling to make ends meet (me included, to a certain extent, and I make 2-3x more than a lot of these people).

But you're right that there is a culture of anti-intellectualism amongst a certain segment of poor people.
Thanks man! Lots of love went into it.
I honestly did not understand the outrage with the asparagus water.

Company makes a product, if someone is willing to buy it the company will continue to make it. If nobody buys it, company stops making it. Yes it was a weird decision, but people buy 'diamond' water (btw it dropped in price if you are interested, probably due to low demand)
The good news is that we know some adjustments to make to education that would reduce that number. For example:

> More children taking MVM [multivitamin with mineral] supplements (44) than placebo (25) showed increases in nonverbal IQ scores of 15 or more points (35% compared with 21%; P<.01). The authors speculate that this result may be attributable to the fact that one in 7 schoolchildren was undernourished.[0]

The bad news is we won't do it. Implementing effective policy is the hard part.[1]

Exactly, most of these claims read like fanciful fabrications of people wanting to tell a good story.

Eating his body weight in a day? That's pretty outlandish and easily debunked.
Good point, but it's still pretty stupid/hilarious.
Your concern may be founded in the difficulty other languages' package managers present. With regard to C/++, there really isn't package management at all, making package inclusion a big decision. With regard to Ruby (for example), the package management is actually pretty unreliable and terrible given how many gems require system libraries and incompatibilities of gems across Ruby versions.

With Rust, the package manager is very good. So it's not a problem in practice.
So, presumably organisations like the IRS and Wikipedia are "barely anyone" and all of the big technology companies are "a couple of megacorps" but can you explain why you believe the _users_ don't benefit?

Those stats count an immigrant from any neighboring Western European country as foreign born. That makes them highly misleading compared to the US. In the US, a person from a different state does not count as an immigrant.

Staffing Agencies: How do they hire candidates?
This feels true in Manhattan, too, where most people here are affluent compared to the rest of the nation. However, in NYC, being average amongst the people doesn’t feel like a bad thing. That’s what I like about NYC anyways.
There was no product group involved. This was made with the involvement of, at most, a handful of people at a single local store. Those bottles you see in the photo may well be the entire total number of these bottles that were ever made.
If you think that's bad, there are people that don't vaccinate their kids on the intended schedule and others that demand antibiotics for viral infections. There are others that take new, $30k+ cars and use them to Uber not taking depreciation on their vehicle into account.

This is may be easy to laugh at, but there are plenty of things that are much more stupid that people regularly do.

edit: fine, downvote me. But if you actually read the article and look at the the reaction of people, you'd think that was in the top 100 stupid things that you could name off the top of your head. The fact that I'm even being downvoted as controversial for mentioning vaccines/antiobitic overprescription/unprofitable gig economy participation is much closer to a "fall of Rome" type behavior than a stupid item on the shelf at a grocery store.

edit 2: here's a free example of much stupider behavior we take for granted: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-autos-trucks-texas/hu...

I think Shutterstock would make it.

Kickstarter is around what, 40-50M in revenue? Vimeo is maybe 100M? DigitalOcean is 200M? Shutterstock is 500M? Trello, I have no idea. I like Trello (and Shutterstock).

I think Shutterstock would crack the top 100 in SV, but none of these would crack the top 80 or so. SV comparables to Shutterstock in revenue would be some obscure companies like Rocket Fuel ($465M), Quantum Sales ($520M), Oclaro ($516M) that are ranked in the high 80s on the SV150 (https://www.siliconvalley.com/2017/05/01/sv150-2017-ranking-...)

The sensors are a few SMD packages on a flat-flex and the motor is a voice coil with a few dozen winds of fine enamelled wire. The mounting system for the stabilized element is marginally more complex, but you're only moving one small element out of the dozen or so elements in a modern prime or the two dozen in a good modern zoom. It's pretty negligible, and it's becoming irrelevant as the industry moves to body-based stabilization.

The Canon 50mm f/1.4 weighs 290g. It has seven elements and acceptable optical performance. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art weighs 815g. Same focal length, same sensor coverage, same maximum aperture, same focus motor technology, but it has thirteen elements and vastly superior optical performance. More and bigger elements are necessary for a better lens, but big lumps of glass are heavy. There's no getting around that.
