lwn.net has a solution to this. Subscribers can create a link that allows non subscribers to read that one article and at the top it has a promo offering a few months free subscription.

This allows you to posts articles on reddit/hn and people can still click them and when they see how high quality the articles are they will want to subscribe to see them all.

Of course this requires your content to be quality and not just clickbait that gets shared around on social media.

How to Build a Working Digital Computer (1968)
The reality is a lot more complicated than that. Certain entry-level art roles are pretty fungible, for instance, and most of them are already contract positions or outsourced to other studios (in places like Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia). However, beyond a certain level of experience and in some cases, entire disciplines, there is a dearth of quality candidates. Experienced developers, who have a good reputation, do have leverage but usually not to the extent to equalize comp with what one would see outside the industry. I've seen studios have critical roles go unfilled for the better part of a year for lack of qualified candidates at the budget set aside for them.
Their life seems to be a journey and direction different from the norm, yet they seem to be fairly ok with it.

It also seems like they'd be pretty unhappy if they'd had a life like yours (father of two ...), more because it's not suitable for them rather than there anything being wrong with it.

Overall, seems like an interesting - and potentially useful reminder that "it takes all kinds to make the world go around". ;)

Kopi already supports it on the back-end - I run a personal domain on it separately from the ones users can register. But having the core support the feature and having it be ready for public consumption is a different kettle of fish.
If you're interested in guinea-pigging something, drop me a line and I can probably get it going quite quickly - in a "do things that don't scale" kind of vein.

Yep, both keywords and addresses in Kopi support an expiry date on the back end because I thought I wanted this personally. But it turned out I didn't really want it enough to even implement it. As opposed to the RSS forwarding that I smashed out in a weekend PoC for myself and now can't live without and desperately want to expand >.<

To be honest, I never thought about this at all. Your comment made me think, and it occurs to me I've actually been subconsciously avoiding associating myself with Kopi directly. I'm wary of having much stuff about myself on the internet. I guess I need to think carefully about this and pick a horse.

I've worked for the same company, a large technology firm, for a little under twenty years starting in my early 20s. I've changed jobs inside that company four times and changed locations three times. The ability to change jobs but not employers has helped a lot.

I have enjoyed it, for the most part. If you like the thrill or engagement or whatever other descriptor you want to use of smaller companies or startups, then it is definitely not that. What it has been is rock-solid stable, interesting, and good benefits and pay.

I've debated looking for another job several times, usually on crappy days, but I still come back to I've been at this company for a long time, I know how it works, I have many of the benefits of tenure (more vacation time is one, that managers and other groups give me more of the benefit of the doubt is another), and maybe a little bit of me being "boring." I don't want to change for the sake of change and I'm happy to go to work, do something I mostly like, get paid well for it, and then go home and live my life separate from work.

Hope that gives you some insight into why someone would stay at the same employer for so long.

I worked for Honeywell out of Tokyo in the late 1990's, they treated their international staff extremely well. I repeatedly traveled to mainland China, South Korea, Singapore, and all over Japan as an engineer working on industrial metal and plastic measurement using radiation. They arranged for multiple re-entry business visas, so the international travel was no problem - there were actually days when I went to the office and they handed me airplane tickets before I got coffee. I suggest sending "desire-to-relocate" cover letters with resumes to large firms with offices overseas if this seems interesting.

No, I actually have some good long term employees working for me whom I admire and trust.

Well, IE has not been receiving feature updates for over a year. It only receives security patches, and these days only critical ones. It is a dead browser; do not use it unless your job forces you to.
Just to be brief, non-adversarial and in-between models such as works councils [1] are allowed that are not legal per the NLRA in the US. The US also has restrictions against common sense methods of representation such as having elected union representatives serve on a company's board of directors or even in upper management. I'm all for the collective voice of workers having a say but the NLRA was basically the equivalent of the PPACA (in terms of being written for the benefit of megacorp insurers, pharma, and other stakeholders) but still being sold and defended as if it was free (at point of service) universal healthcare. It only allows for a purely adversarial relationship between unions and businesses with any sort of mutual ownership/leadership/stakeholding being expressly forbidden.

It afforded workers the right to form independent governing bodies and self-finance things like strike relief funds that are important in cases where a company is simply unwilling to bend in any way. However, my experience there is an enormous, unserved middle ground between "no collective representation at all" and "we need a separate warchest and leadership to force any sort of compromise" yet creating something in that space is effectively illegal thanks to existing law.

I agree. I still use it from time to time when initially hacking together a project. It makes my development process faster and easier. I never have problems with it. The primary concern between start and launch is getting to done, not shaving 20kb or 30kb off (if it was 300kb or 500kb that would be a different matter). As I get to roughly 85%-90% done, or sometimes post launch, I'll then allocate time where it makes sense to removing jQuery and pursuing further optimizations. Eliminating jQuery is toward the bottom of the list of reasonable concerns when it comes to making a new product successful. I have more than two decades of experience with JavaScript, and there are numerous things that are simplified to a point of fast, no concern development triviality with jQuery. If it's useful to your development process, use it.
"Otherwise it can just buy them itself to keep interest rates in check."

That would be no difference from "redeeming". Bond prices are determined by interest rates. When interest rate is the same as coupon rate the seller can sell for the face value of the bonds, equivalent to redeeming.
Thanks Jade, didn’t realize I grabbed the wrong link.

This paragraph from the paper was helpful for me:

Differentiable programming is of joint interest to the machine learning and programming language communities. As deep learning models becomes more and more sophisticated, researchers have noticed that building blocks into a large neural network model is similar to using functions, and that some powerful neural network patterns are analogous to higher-order functions in functional programming [Fong et al. 2017; Olah 2015]. This is also thanks to the development of modern deep learning frameworks which make defining neural networks “very much like a regular program” [Abadi et al. 2017; LeCun 2018].

Great read, but it should be taken with an enormous grain of salt. The economic system that maintains Gates' private wealth is dependent on positive PR. Showing all of us that he's doing Good Deeds with his massive foundation, keeps the masses from questioning how he amassed such a mountain of wealth and stymies efforts for reforming a system that allows unbridled accretion at any expense.

I don't know, first image came to my mind was in a deeply frozen city (like the one in the movie The Day After Tomorrow), workers who just been laid off are exiting from tall towers. Some of them sitting on street, some joined fire pit barrel party, others just wandering aimlessly.

Those towers are really really tall, and bright, the setting sun makes them even brighter. Beautiful lights are shining through the glass, cold but colorful.

Among those towers, one of them looked especially alive, the one skinned with a big big screen. And on the screen, was the live view from the company's executive meeting, hosted by non other than the CEO, a well dressed, brilliant, sharp, humorous and polite man.

It was too far to make out what he said, strong wind and echos makes it hard to hear. The only few fragments I could recognize was:

"... Our financial situation this year were the best in our history ..."

"... Change must happen ... to help us reach our full potential ..."

"... the future with our extraordinarily talented employees ..."

Could be a very good scene for a game.

Nobody says color doesn’t matter, or that final designs should not use color.

If your intense orange button has nearly the same lightness as its intense blue background, it’s going to look like a headache-inducing blob instead of like a button.

> light orange button against a dark blue contrast creates a far stronger separation than a light gray button against a dark gray background

It’s not that much stronger separation, in my experience. Light on dark is much more fundamentally important to the design than orange on blue.

If you made it intense middle orange on intense middle blue, the result would be horrifically bad. But light gray on dark gray is just fine.

If you get the lightness contrast right, you have broad latitude in color choices and you won’t be able to screw things up too badly. You can switch between light yellow on dark red, light blue on dark purple, light orange on dark blue, light gray on dark brown, etc. On the other hand, if you get the lightness contrast wrong, then there’s pretty much no way to fix it with color. Which is why it is helpful to design for lightness first.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t e.g. keep in mind while you are doing your black and white setup work that a particular button is going to get a super zappy red color against a largely neutral slate colored design (or whatever), but even so, you want the lightness relationships to be right. Doing the lightness work separately up front can be helpful for many artists: it will preclude many of the worst design mistakes, and focus attention on making text legible, structurally important shapes stand out from their background, and so on.

Bit of a rambling reply, speaking from experience.

Companies with tech departments (that will cater to this crowd) that are around that long tend to be maybe big, somewhat stable, somewhat largish revenue companies.

It is not the norm for people to stay that long at a company (tech company especially) these days. Lots of coworkers come in and eventually leave (by their own choice, sometimes not). You end up staying in touch with the ones that you like. You end up cherishing the people you work with, because some of them might have been there as long as you. You end up going to their children's birthdays, and celebrate holidays with them. They can be life friends once you share that amount of time with them.

Leadership drifts in and out. Passing the baton that often ends up diluting the company culture to a point where the business itself becomes its own organism, carried by its own inertia and making very clinical decisions about its own survival. Some of these decisions begin to weigh down on you. I guess it's true what they say, familiarity breeds contempt.

Some good things - you have a lot of time to design, implement, and deliver on projects. You can wind up with quite an eclectic portfolio of internal initiatives that you've delivered. Many of these can be quite fun. Benefits are good over that period of time. Many companies end up delivering benefits on a graded scale based on seniority. I'm up to 6 weeks of paternity leave if I ever want to use it.

Assuming you joined near the top of a payband, years of merit/cost of living increases can give you golden handcuffs. You get a lot of time to build wealth, but without careful planning you will not financially be able to leave. You become even more beholden, and less willing to leave over time. Victim of your own comfort? Actually, maybe not comfort. Inertia?

There's some thoughts. The people around you, and the company change over time.
Is there any chance having a chat to your husband along the lines of "Things at work really suck, I'd like to change by either really getting pregnant or changing job sooner rather than later. How're things with you?" is a good idea?
> how do you plan to deal with vendors potentially banning your domains?

See other comment, but I do plan to implement a feature where customers can bring their own domain. There's also a roadmap item to expose keywords as "sub-domains" (i.e. "facebook@rovyko.kopi.cloud"). Of course, subdomains won't help if they ban a top level domain.

Additionally, I use AWS Route53 and all domains are managed with a full "infrastructure as code" approach. Having lots of domains won't be any kind of serious overhead to manage, except for the 50cents/mth cost (and inconvenience to users, but that pain can likely be mitigated).
