This sounds familiar, but I don't really see the issue.

Sometimes I get absorbed in a side project, and I'm being creative and having fun. Why put a brake on it? I think that some of the best things I've done (professionally) were when I was in a "being completely absorbed in a project"-mindsets.

Sometimes I don't works on side-projects for months at a time. I just don't feel like it and I'm doing other stuff. That's okay, too. No pressure.

If you're always being absorbed by side projects then there might be a problem, but as long as there's is an ebb and flow to these things I don't really see the problem.
That's because there's still a huge market for bespoke software that serves a particular need.

There's a nontrivial market for bespoke art and music too, so if artists and musicians need a steady income, they have those options.

You're right, though, the scene sucks. Computers and the internet have destroyed the incentive for creativity. Absent a total Butlerian jihad scale ban on computers, the best solution I can think of is standardized, strong DRM at the hardware level implemented by a consortium of OEMs and backed up with force of law DMCA style.

> to avoid deflation

Currency collapse is extreme inflation; and that goes to the central point - there are a very wide range of numbers between 0% inflation and hyperinflation (20+% numbers).

Government monatisation isn't that much different from any other tax, except for the rather critical fact that nobody knows who is paying it. That makes it the least intellectually honest type of revenue raising, and the most likely to spiral out of control. Bringing it in is a pretty telling indicator that a country is unable to govern itself. It is a terrible idea. But it is unlikely to cause a currency collapse if they print and bail out the pensions. It'll just destroy some wealth.
Similar, but metal. This is the extended verison that goes to 110 digits.

"The numbers and rests in the formula translate to 16th notes on the kick drum, and 16th note rests. There is no kick drum beats where there are snare drums.

With the decimal point BEFORE the number, and starting with the first number, move that many decimal points to the right and insert that many 16th note rests. Use one 16th note rest to divide the numbers you passed (when applicable). Continue on throughout the rest of the figure. No repeats."

Once you publish an API you’re stuck with supporting it. When I’m hacking around with a library I wrote for my own use, I might do all sorts of things while I’m iterating but don’t want others to consume until they are fully baked.

The same thing about not allowing others to use “private APIs”. No guarantees are made about any methods that I didn’t make public. If I change that method in future releases, and your software that depends on it breaks - so be it.

Windows is full of backward compatibility hacks because one piece of software that wanted to use an undocumented method.

Apple has since day one had APIs that it used privately until they were fully baked and made public. Do you think that Apple waited two or three years to make share extensions public because of competitive reasons?

My big hope for the Quest is that they'll say "Surprise! The USB-C port isn't just charging, it also supports VirtualLink alternate mode!"

IIRC it's running at a lower framerate than a Rift does, but it'd still be cool to have that option because I have no plans to buy a dedicated PC-connected headset.

This morning on my way to work the driver of the bus I was in stopped at traffic lights (that were green) to help a person with an electric wheelchair across the road. The reason he needed help was because he was stuck in a bank of snow that a snow plow had pushed at the side of the road.

If you're going "variation per square mile", the Outback is gonna throw things way off. Travel from Darwin to Hobart - especially in the winter - and you'll get quite a bit of difference in climate, wildlife, views etc.

The Adirondacks in the US get plenty of snow, incidentally, only being in the 4000s of feet. Height isn't the only parameter. I learned to ski at the "Big D" at Mt. Hotham. :-D
But they would not go down all at once like one or two sensors. As they would be spread across the plane, the system would "feel" it is losing sensors and be "aware" of it.

It would know when to invalidate sensor input and tell the pilot about it. With a mix of Pitot and other sensors, it would be even more precisely able to know when to stop trusting the sensors. This is something that is currently lacking.
Thanks for being blunt. I appreciate different perspectives and honest opinions. Don't mind the downvotes, which hardly means anything worthy of attention.

I’m not convinced it would be a world first. Certainly not for nation states :) but you should definitely check out the amazing work by Chris Tarnovsky on YouTube. The level of detail he goes into when decamping the chip... and the way he explains it all leaves me in a state of awe.
>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.

It's only an issue if you're trying to publish or launch. If it's for learning, fulfillment, or just exploring something new, 80% might be more than enough.

Insert Betteridge's law here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_Law_of_Headline...): No.

On a more nuanced approach, it seems that we are seeing many reports of GDPR violators not being fined or them being stuck in flight for the better part of a year. In addition, FAANG and other Irish based firms are simply copying US based lobbying practices and advocating for their choice for regulators/ regulation. Without a truly independent adjudicator with some real teeth and public results, this will not change.

We can argue the lack of specificity in the GDPR, but it seems no one is taking an aggressive user focused tack that I would like to see. The current look of the wolves guarding the hen house is not comforting nor improving security (nor privacy).
Unique donors across (I believe?) all 50 states. It's to allow presumably grassroots candidates to achieve access. You can also qualify the normal way of scoring above some small percentage in national polls.
There’s also option C which is better than b (but still awful) which is to write a method that takes two interface{}s and uses reflection to figure out their concrete types at runtime and merged them. No type safety, unidiomatic, decently ergonomic (assuming you panic on type errors), and probably reasonably performance for large slices.

Perhaps the Git Parable will help:

http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.htm...

To provide an alternate viewpoint, I have never had trouble with Git. I’m a bottom-up how-does-this-thing-work sort of person so when I first started using Git, I sought to understand how it worked. That part of Git is pretty easy to understand. Knowing that made its CLI a lot easier to grok. Of course, at the time I was having to use ClearCase at work and Subversion on the side so Git, IMO, was a vast improvement to either of those tools.
If the Switch used a modern webkit/blink and kept it up to date that would close some of the popular jailbreak methods.

FWIW, IMHO it's not pedantry, it's precisely the core of the discussion. The 737 MAX was deemed airworthy during certification, and deemed airworthy after Lion Air, and a further crash by itself does not change that. It is only the details and circumstances of the second crash that can provide evidence to challenge the conclusion of airworthiness. Just reflexively saying "crash, ground it all" is mistaken.
There have always been many writers, artists, composers who make little or no money doing what they do. The internet has just made it more apparent that these people exist. If anything, it has given these people more opportunities to get discovered and eventually be able to make a living. As an anecdote I have a few friends (used to work in the fashion industry) whose photography got picked by big brands and now make quite a tidy sum in advertising. They would probably never have been discovered if it wasn't for the internet because they were just doing it as a hobby.

Programmers and non-programmers have very different ideas of what is "decent". Examples of things non-programmers want in a group chat app:

- persistent chat history

Fines can be far more beneficial to society. Make them pay in a way that actually helps other people.
The additional cost is in the inevitable boilerplate that you'll end up writing to handle real world problems. Python let's you extend the language to help with this. Go, by design, doesn't allow you to. There are pros and cons of each. Not once have I felt I could forget Python because Go exists.
Funnily I found that the article reads perfectly fine on Firefox Mobile with NoScript -- I didn't even notice that it was on Tumblr until reading the comments.
I wonder how much of this is due to greedy publishers overpricing ebooks? I just looked up one of her books ("The Raven King"). Amazon has the paperback for $9.45 and the e-book for $11.99.

In what world does it make any sense for an ebook to cost more than a physical book? The physical book needs to be printed, warehoused and delivered. The ebook just just bits in the cloud that cost cents to store and transmit to customers.

I do not personally think that this justifies piracy, but it might explain why some people feel justified in pirating books.
* should read forces Apple to apply it's rules fairly. Was a bad edit, whoops!
Software used to be rife with piracy too, until the problem was solved by SaaS.
It's true that "the Internet has nearly killed the prospect of making a living as an author". But maybe there are other ways to reward authors.

My first career was doing academic science. As a grad student and postdoc, grants paid my salary. As a professor, universities mostly did. I never earned anything from stuff that I published. Indeed, I had to pay to have it published.

But of course, it was publications that kept me employed. And got me grants.

I don't know what that would look like for authors. But without an alternative, the publishing industry will demand police-state level DRM, and that would be horrible.
Looks like it's not actually ready yet? PIA has a great track record, though, so this seems promising.

Show HN: PerfectPixel Browser Extension
Yeah, making a living writing software in a creative sense was never even possible, since software was free to begin with. It was always an equivalent of being hired to write pr articles, make banners, logos, take wedding photos, etc.
Whenever you need to express your design mockup in HTML in a precise way you need a tool to check and compare — this is where PerfectPixel browser extension shines! PerfectPixel allows you to do it by placing a semi-transparent overlay on top of a browser page

AF 447 and Lion Air 610 are related in a way that does not have anything to do with Airbus vs. Boeing. In both cases, the crew experienced a situation that differed in some way from those they had explicitly trained or been prepared for (in the first case, because it was considered implausible, and in the second, because Boeing had not told pilots about it.) Nevertheless, in both cases, it is somewhat surprising that they were unable to recover from it (the Southwest pilots' union was upset at Boeing for not disclosing MCAS, but the American pilots' union did not think it was a big deal, and neither group seemed to think an MCAS failure would present a serious problem for a prepared pilot.)

After Boeing has made MCAS triply-redundant (or whatever else they have to do to get these airplanes flying again), questions will remain about why nominally well-trained people sometimes perform disastrously below expectations when faced with something unusual, and what can be done about it. Is it possible, for example, that highly-prescribed training adversely affects flexibility and resilience in problem-solving?
I have 3 things that keep me from sideproject burn out:

1. Users. Once someone uses your project and you're growing, even if it's slow, it "motivates" me to keep working on it. That is also why for me, it's a must to keep the project small and launch ASAP, which in turn also helps against feature creep and bikeshedding.

2. Delegation. Once I validate the project (people are using it) I try my best to outsource time consuming tasks, mostly programming, administrative, research, and data entry. This frees me up to enjoy leisure time while not feeling the project is stagnating.

You have to find your balance - decide what's the velocity of the project you're comfortable with. Once I realized that wanting to build and grow as fast as possible is stressing me out and ruining my social life, I decided I'm going to try and be ok with slow growth since I don't depend on it for a living.

3. Part-time job. I work 3 days a week. This should've probably been number 1 on the list. I still make good enough money to live comfortably, while my side projects make little money I can save. Obviously not everyone can or want that, but as a developer I have the privilege of earning the same as some of my less techy friends with 60% of the work. Frees me up for a whole bunch stuff.

This might not apply if you have kids and want to save as much money for their futures sake.
What the author didn't (and couldn't) include in their calculations is how many of those that bought the fourth book were hooked in the series BECAUSE they pirated the book(s).

How many sales would she have had if there were absolutely no copies available online for free for any of the books?

I admit, I pirated when I was young because I didn't have any money and many books weren't available in my country (or would only become available after some years). Now that I have money and I'm into reading, I spend a lot more on books than I would have if reading wasn't available to me.

I think the next stage is coming where we either take back control away from the corrupt or we fall. We're teetering right now. I have seen the ugly underpinnings of NY State and how things really operate and I ran 1300 miles away from it. But that corruption has risen all over. We let dumb, alcoholic lawmakers take all our freedom using well-intentioned slogans because we wanted drunks off the roads and safer kids, but what we got instead was tyranny and now a flood of people whose sole purpose is to replace the uppity, indignant folks with far more pliant, peasant serfs.

Also, we asked them to fix the mental health system and instead we got "Red Flag" laws that are just open invitations to inform on neighbors you don't like and SWAT them to death. The rest of the story writes itself if you know anything about the Soviet Union and what happened to people there.
