I don't think this is just a matter of taste. Advanced features allow the programmer to express more complex things more directly and less verbosely.

I agree that there are some things that are more taste driven (e.g. syntax).

BTW, I actually favour FP also.

This was my experience last year. In my case, i just want to build a neat, universal stack for my future projects. I started with Haskell and feel the pain with GHCjs. Then i tried out Elm, Vue, Purescript and they lacked of SSR capability at that time. Then i start with Next.JS and feel the pain with its opinionated choices. Now i'm done with a pure Typescript, React and Apollo stack. I reached my goal, not a fun experience, but learnt a tons of things from it. I must say, balance is hard to achieve once you're far from your goal.
Wikipedia Manipulation and Shilling as a Service
Nah, the author does have a point. There's something fundamentally wrong with how Gmail collapses messages. I have email notifications from a certain web store when some of the items I might be interested in come in stock/for preorder. I always read them. Years after I started using it, I discovered that I actually miss reading about 30% of these messages. How does this happen?

Well, it turns out that Google randomly groups some of these messages in a single thread. And yet this thread looks identical to a single message. So I click on the thread, read the first message, see the email footer and go back to Inbox to read the next one. This marks the entire thread read even though I didn't actually read the subsequent messages. So I never come around to read them.

I completely believe that most users will not read any email in the thread beyond the first one, because there's absolutely no indication there's more stuff to read.
That seems interesting, if I get it right it needs Hasura and by extension Postgres, right?
Nah, snark aside, you're right. "We're cooperating with the investigation" is largely PR speak for "we're doing the absolute minimum that's legally required of us, and we're doing that as slowly as possible".

That's simply not true. People using it for group chat is a much more recent turn of events.
> PSVR is unironically the hope for VR right now, even though it has by far the lowest quality.

For me it's the upcoming Oculus Quest. I've been refreshing /r/oculusquest daily, hoping to get a release date or a way to reserve it.
I've got the same issue, but only for the first 80% of the project. At that point, the project becomes a burden I have to finish, otherwise I would have wasted my time.

The initial burst of inspiration is always exciting: you've got a novel idea, there are no restrictions, no deadlines, no requirements. You don't care about bugs or beauty, just about making things happen. You could even abandon the project and it wouldn't affect anyone.

But the last 20%… I usually struggle with that last sprint. You need to handle the boring aspects of the project only to make it solid enough to launch and "decent" enough to share. This happened with CSS Reference [1]: very excited at the start about the concept, but then I had to go through all CSS properties one by one, and it took a very long time.

My most successful side projects are actually the ones that were quick to start and quick to finish. I had the idea for a "Web Design in 4 minutes" tiny project once [2], and for a few days, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I managed to design and code it rather quickly (as a result, several bugs still exist, but at least it was launched).

In comparison, "JavaScript in 14 minutes" [3] took me months, and I was dreading not being able to finish it. It was in the end less successful.

You are confusing "art" for the purpose of "art" with work done for the purpose of something to be done.

In particular, you believe it is possible to make a living writing software. Yes, indeed can be, as long as you write exactly the bespoke software your customer demands. If you would expect to be paid by someone to create software in general, there is no way. The internet is full of free software which can be compared to stock photos for photographers.

Here's one that sounds obvious but I rarely see people point out: close your eyes. If your eyes are tired, just close them for a for a while. Let your eyelids do some work. That's one of their main functions after all - to protect the eye.

-Apple blocked Spotify from working with Apple Watch

The newest version of WatchOS does allow it. The first generation of watchOS really didn’t allow any apps - just remote views of iOS apps (yeah I’m simplifying it).

- It blocked Spotify from building apps for HomePod

Apple doesn’t have any apps on the HomePod. Now we are going to force all single purpose devices to ship with an SDK?

- It blocked Spotify from building apps for Siri

Apple also just came out with any third party integration with Siri a version or two ago. Again we want the government to dictate the timeline when they build features for apps?

- It blocked Spotify from using a podcasting API after it acquired 2x major podcasting companies

Netflix also blocked its API from most third parties years ago. Can we sue Netflix?
You have to think though, if full time work requirements weren't so demanding (yet so necessary, talking from a rent-paying perspective) then you could work on side projects in a more healthy way and still have some confidence that you could get them done in a reasonable time scale. Finding a work/work/life (duplication intentional) balance is pretty challenging.
> 2 hours continuous sleep

Awch. I've got a 2 month old who, for the moment, is a surprisingly good sleeper. It's still exhausting, getting in from work, trying to spend an hour of quality time with her while helping mum finish dinner before she goes into an over tired 'witching hour'.

I'm much more driven to try some side projects though. The sudden drop to a single salary and the vain hope that one day I could be finically sound enough to take an extended trip with the little one are big drivers.
I feel what’s really intreresting with side projects is momentum and sense of urgency. I rarely have side projects that have a real dead line. However, I image a sense of urgency to build momentum. Once I am spending every free hour outside of work on my side project, it’s really hard to suddenly take one day off. What’s interesting is that this momentum, I think, creates intrinsic motivation. If you want to be productive you should learn to harness this. However, of course balance is always needed, even though I don’t consider all side projects to be part of “work” in the work life balance.
The problem is that in many chronic fatigue patients they would have to choose between physical/talk therapy and eating or showering for the day. Its a severe disabling condition, not just feeling "tired."
> You really need to work to get used to all the buttons and sticks to control most other VR games.

This is a controversial opinion but I prefer the Vive wands to the Oculus touch for this very reason. It pushed developers towards simpler control schemes on the whole.

Trying to remember which button does what is not immersive.

Picking the controller up with the wrong hand every single time is not immersive.

Being reminded you're using a game controller is not immersive.

The best controls in VR are your hands but failing that - the Vive wands are often used as a lump with a single trigger - which I find ideal.

This is one of the reasons why public demos are always smoother with the Vive. You just pass people the controller and show them where the trigger is (and maybe the big trackpad button if necessary)

> Most of the burden is figuring out all the APIs

I hope they’re Restful APIs.
This is a pretty smart move, considering that rumors point to Google's "game streaming service" being available on every device that runs Chrome, without additional installation. That would mean a launch across:

* Windows

* Mac

* ChromeOS

* Linux

* Mobile

...overnight. Pretty compelling way to draw in new users given millions of people already own a Switch controller and could start without needing to buy Google's one.
>This is literally a $200 coffee vending machine with a $25,000$ arm to move the cup.

Having watched this (https://www.businessinsider.com/robot-barista-reveals-danger...) I tend to agree with you. Coffee making is a business of diminishing returns and quickly rising costs. You can do an acceptable espresso with a $200 espresso machine. However to make an amazing cappuccino/latte you need to go to at least $5000-$6000 price point. Separate boilers, precise pressure monitoring and all that jazz. The reason for that is that steaming milk is not a very easy job for a robot.
not yet on linux sadly. Note that Krita works fine on linux - it comes from the KDE world anyways.
I'm not the author, but GraphQL is storage agnostic, so I'd assume no.

I agree with you. Watching movies in the theater here in the US (with the exception of some Rocky Horror Picture show type screenings) is distinctly -not- a social experience. Talking and interruptions are forbidden and will get you removed for too many infractions.

I would say serial TV shows can be a more social experience; I get together with friends to watch Westworld and I know the bachelor/bachelorette have big followings.
Even if it's for everyone, the point is: it's egregious. Even more so when Apple competes in the same space.

Those people don't seem to get how the service industry is about receiving a service from people. Getting your coffee serviced by a human is a matter of status, not convenience and efficiency. If you want efficiency you have instant coffee and venting machines.

In my experience, signal doesn't have reliable push notifications and sometimes takes a while to deliver group messages. Sometimes my friends send me messages on WhatsApp asking me to check Signal and the message hasn't arrived yet. I do prefer signal though because there is less chance that one of my contacts has backed up our conversation to Google Drive.
A 'right' answer for this will always vary based on the project goal, MVP (Minimum Viable Product), and development workflow that you want to follow. If you provide more context, it may result in suggestions with a better scope instead of comments that suggest random libraries and development strategies.
I would love to meet you. IMHO, your experience is very valuable.

>They don't take care of crime. They let infrastructure decay. The schools are crap (despite high per-pupil spending). They make crony deals with the unions on pensions and benefits that are not possible to fund.

To expand on this point, why would there be any institutional will to take more than a token effort to do any of those things? It's not like they risk getting voted out by someone who isn't on the same side and will leave the root system of the party's power to control government mostly intact (doing the opposite would anger enough people to not be in the self interest of anyone who gets elected).

Even if you keep voting in different politicians who actually want to do anything you're never actually getting a major refresh until you get someone from a different party who aggressively appoints a different set of cronies.
All I ask is that an ebook be included with the physical copy. I don't want to haul the physical copy around, but I do want to support authors.

I've been using the library lately anyways. I'm so far behind on books that I've wanted to read that there's no real reason to follow new releases, so the library typically has what I want.
The limited nature of land is precisely why possession should be costly. Efficient use of land will produce an economic surplus adequate to pay a reasonable land tax and then some. But if someone squanders their land and insists on letting it sit fallow, so to speak, they will pay for the privilege. If it is sufficiently important to the land owner that the land be unproductive, they will be happy to pay the price in the form of the land tax; otherwise, they will sell the land to someone who can put the land to better use.

There is nothing natural about land ownership. The government creates the artificial construct of land as property to avoid the tragedy of the commons, where no one has an incentive to invest in making land productive--for example, by building a home, factory, or farm. A land tax prevents a land owner from squandering the privileges of land ownership.
So I work for a bank and constantly have to take compliance training...

One of the courses is over disclosure of information to third parties. This info isn’t part of my personal bau, so I might have it wrong, but:

There are two kinds of data sharing a bank does with affiliates, necessary for business (credit checks, appraisal companies, etc) that you cannot opt out of.

Then there’s everything else which you can.

It’s in legalese, but you can ask someone at your bank how to opt out of as much as possible.

It doesn’t help much, but it’s something I guess(?)
Nasa's Super-Sized Space Launch System Might Be Doomed
Photography is alive and well as a service rather than a thing. The days of buying a print are gone (or will be soon) but tons of people make a living doing portraits, weddings, events, headshots, etc.

It’s a different model, but I suspect more money is made because taking pictures is hard. The pictures are free (ie, included) but it costs a lot to hire a photographer.

That’s how software lives as a profession.
I am a 49, still love my side projects. Yes, sometimes it's hard to listen to the signal your body is trying to send you (e.g. forgetting to eat when you are in flow state.)

One simple view that helped me are the little github green-boxes that show your commits. If it's too full for long stretches, time to take a break so I won't burn out.
Thanks.

It was a side project for a couple of years but things snowballed after we reached a certain threshold and it became impossible to keep my day job.
Sorry yes, i should have been more clear. I don't like the idea of windows collecting and collating information about me. It is a matter of privacy over security
"possession of a limited resource shouldn’t create a disadvantage to the owner of said possession"

Disadvantage from what baseline? Possession of a limited resource always creates an advantage to start with. If this is not compensated for with a tax, then aren't people going to compete away the value that would have been taxed? In which case it will be lost to society.
Well, they can't make it too obvious, can they. But it is basically it.

Employees do no more than employees at say, McDonald's. In fact probably less.
Push a button, right amount of coffee pours into cup. Move cup. Push button, right amount of milk pours into cup. Move cup.

Replacing people by robots will make no difference to the final product.

What we need to wait and see is whether consumers want to be served by a human or whether they don't care. We'll have an answer very soon because for fast food and coffee shops there's just a couple of years before humans become operationally optional.

Personally, in a high end place where staff adds value I will care, but I couldn't care less in a Costa Coffee or McDonald's.
Actually, people do think about combining both approaches, see the Roles concept - https://github.com/7mind/slides/raw/master/02-roles/target/r...
Mostly, because article is mashup of random data things about Facebook, and it's not clear what is being investigated. They started that phone makers data deals are being investigated (which is basically alternative client), then goes into Cambridge Analytica, and mention Bing data access in the end (which could be about deep access you are talking about, but it does not looks like it's being investigated).

And for phone deals, criticizing friends/deep data access... If you want to build alternative FB client, your phone have to have access not just to your data, but also to your fiends data (i.e. all data you have access), in order to provide any useful service. So yes, technically your friends didn't agree that your alternative FB app can access to their data, but you gave your access credentials (and permissions) to access that data to your phone.
When my first startup failed and I was looking for a new role the hardest part wasn't persuading potential employers that I was capable technically, but that I wouldn't be leaving to start a new company in 6 months. That "founder personality" is seen as a downside by employers looking for someone to fill a permanent role. Getting over it, and demonstrating that you're over it is important.

Not really. You can use it with any GraphQL server that returns a list of records :)

The Hasura and Postgres combo is ideal because you can have complicated aggregations over the Postgres data in the form of views and Hasura can help you query them realtime over GraphQL. Also Postgres has nice community tools around it like PostGIS and Timescale which help you handle geolocation and timeseries type of data that is often used for visualisations.

PS: Co-author here. And I am an engineer at Hasura.
There's no such thing as "low-effort ports to VR" as you are describing. When you model a 3D object for flat screens, scale is really not that much of a concern whereas in VR the player's immersion might be completely ruined if something feels just slightly off. Here's a nice blog post I found on the topic which goes much more in depth: https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/size-matters-scale-relationsh...

The point is there are entire classes of application which have latency targets in the handful of microseconds. A 1ms STW isn't acceptable in this scenario.

"Given the inheritance of land, I think quite a lot of people would argue that there is something unfair about having an advantageous position simply because of your ancestors."

It seems like you very frequently hear the opposite opinion, that it is grievously unfair to not have an advantageous position that you should have inherited because your ancestors' land was taken away.

So I don't think that there is any consensus.

The parent links to a snowy mountain ridge. The tallest mountain in Australia is 7,300 feet (2,200 m), which is lower than foothills of the Rocky Mountains for a thousand-mile stretch. Snowy mountain vistas really are much rarer in Australia than the US, despite the similar land area.

I'd also guess that, due to the extreme arid interior, Australia has less climate and ecological variation overall than the continental US, but I don't know how to quantify that to check.

I've learnt side-projects are possible you only just have... sleep less :) I'm a father of 2 (4yrs old + 6mo old) and I start doing side-projects when kids and wife go to sleep (we spent time together as well, she doesn't go to sleep at the same time as kiddos). So around 22:30 I've work on something for myself for 2 - 3hours. Then repeat :)

But I'm blessed that my kids are sleep through 99% of the night time.
While the mechanics are certainly complex, I think a big part of the learning curve is the lack of a concrete objective to focus everything around. It's not just that the game is complex, but that it doesn't even really point you in a particular direction.
