Your Speech, Their Rules: People Who Guard the Internet
> I've seen companies not using source control with no staging environments and no local development environments where all changes are being made directly on the production server via SFTP on a basic VPS.

Omg. And here I am feeling ashamed to tell others about my small small personal website with separate dev, qa, production environments on same server (via VirtualHost), code checked into github, deployed via Jenkins self hosted on another VPS, which was initially spun up with Ansible and shell scripts. All done by me for self training purpose. All because I thought businesses would have something more sophisticated with bells and whistles.

And then I hear there are businesses that make changes directly on live production servers...

But I'm not surprised by such stories as I have seen some bad workflow in real businesses that deal with tens of millions of dollars a year.

Years ago, I worked in the NOC of a company that's top in the small niche. They have dozens of employees, and been around for years.

Part of the job responsibility was rolling out patches to production servers. The kicker was the production servers were all Windows servers, running various versions, covering practically all Windows versions ever released by Microsoft. You can see where this is headed.

Rolling out a patch was all done manually, 1 Windows server at a time. Everything was manually done.

The instruction for deploying a change was easily multiple lines long, each with different style of writing/instruction. Often in plain text file format. We would print them out so we could check them off as we went down the list.

The CTO is still there, but everyone IT person under him has left or been let go. Working in the IT there is a struggle because lack of automation and old old stuff, but the CTO just blames bad employees and keeps churning them in/out. When the real issue is the decade or 2 worth of old legacy stuff that need to be cleaned up and/or thrown out, which can only be done by the direction of the CTO. But he knows he won't get that kind of budget from higher-ups so he will just keep hiring/firing employees and/or bring in some H1B workers who's basically trapped once they join. And of the few H1B workers I met there, they were truly completely non-technical. One did not want to learn how to use keyboard shortcuts to do common tasks... Good guy though.

You have a number of options but before taking the leap I would consider a few things. 1) Exactly why are you bored? 2) Will starting your own business really be that much different to what you are doing now? 3) Perhaps there is a third option - contracting or part-time work or staying another year or two, saving hard, and then taking a gap year. That would give you some downtime to work on your business. You might find, with a gap year for example, that you don't actually like working on your own business.

My own thoughts - almost any job can be made more interesting. You don't believe it now but it my well be your mindset that needs to change, not your job.

Don't know what to say. You should move away from amazon. It is already a monopoly. Recently I flagged a product which has all 5(10s of them, not a singe 4 or -ve reviews!). Looked at the reviews on page 1, all single lines, great product, received promptly etc. None properly describing the product. I was almost convinced to buy, then dig through the reviews and found that the reviews are not related to the product at all. The product is a vitamin supplement, the reviews related to some skin cream not available on street. And it's directly an amazon prime product (not from market place).I was raged and immediately contacted amazon cs and had a lengthy chat and they said some one will get back to me and do something about it. Never heard anything back and the product stays and people still get fooled.
Yeah right, i'm sure BK is really putting a lot of money into small family businesses with diversified farming light on the ecosystems using no herbicides/insecticides, and not mega food-industry with fields that have thousand of hectares of a single crop and get farmed using a whole fleet of huge diesel machines, get a load of pharma chemicals dropped on their head preventively to make sure no other life form gets to survive in that field.

I'm picking on you now but it fcking freaks me out how this whole page seems to feel concerned about "healthy food", "veganism", "ecology". This is a fast-food mega-corp, they are part of one of the ugliest side of the already disgusting industrial food chain. They are right on incompatible with any kind of healthiness you could imagine (of human beings, of crops, polinators, overall countryside ecosystems, farmers). Hey, fast-food/sweet-drink business uses the same marketing strategies than tobacco groups. Or pharma. These are the people that created all the massive public health issues we've got since say '50s. Cancer, diabetes, obesity, one-off epidemics (h5n1, h1n1, mad cow...).

And i didn't even start talking about work conditions or economic aspects of these bastards (the corps, not targeting any individuals here).
After I noticed that their forum thread [1] about requesting LaTeX-style math notes was almost as old as my Evernote Premium subscription, I came to the conclusion that this is just a ripoff. I paid all these years only to keep my access and for the occasional design update but the core experience stagnated.

Dropbox Paper already provided a better note-taking experience and with Notion.so I finally found a full replacement. The product is in active development [2] and I don't feel like I am just paying to keep the servers running.

Don't try to make a new account as others have suggested. You're essentially guaranteed to be permanently delisted by Amazon if you do this and they react. Instead, send a polite but compelling email to jeff@amazon.com explaining the situation in full.

I once had an issue that Amazon's customer service wouldn't address. I emailed jeff@amazon.com and had a response within a week, with a full resolution to the matter.

The problem with both Dropbox and Evernote is that their minimum pricing tier is too expensive for what they provide - particularly when both functions are provided as part of the Microsoft Office package with is the same price as Dropbox alone.

> "The actual concern I have is that the JavaScript package manager and language commons are in the hands of a VC-funded company

I'm not primarily a JS developer, but I guess I just assumed NPM was run by a non-profit foundation like the Python Software Foundation runs PyPi. So I started looking into the governance of other significant library repos. Homebrew actually sets a good example[0], with a clear governance structure. On the other hand I have no idea who owns RubyGems.org, perhaps a loose collection of GitHub users called the RubyGems Team [1]. Maven Central (Java) is owned+operated by Sonatype [2], Packagist (PHP) is owned+operated by Private Packagist[3], Nuget (C#) is unsurprisingly owned+operated by Microsoft, and CPAN seems to be governed by the Perl Foundation. According to modulecounts.com, NPM has more hosted packages than any of the others. It's also the only one where the registry source code does not seem to be publicly available, and there are very few full mirrors that don't just proxy upstream to npmjs.org. Yikes.

Depression correlates with hormonal changes, but saying it's a result of it is reductionistic and inaccurate. Depression also highly correlates with changes in inflammatory markers called cytokines[1], but reducing it to a single biological factor never yields an accurate pathogenesis of the disease.

Access to knowledge should be open and free. Especially if it has been produced by an institution that receives public funding.
It is clear reading your comment that you do this transformation in your head automatically:

Progressive = Left = Good

Right = Bad

I don't believe that the access to what public funding pays (public research) is intrinsically linked to the left, quite the opposite.

In the past for example while the US published a lot of information in public journals, Soviet Russia was very secretive about theirs(while benefiting from the West). US was not leftist than Soviet Russia.

While the left wants to link themselves to the idea of "progress", hence the auto denominated name "progressive", I don't see the progress anywhere after watching the process take action in Europe multiple times(North Americans have not experienced real left in power), quite the opposite.

The left wants to create a monster State. Once in place individuals have no power at all. Everything is controlled top down and as there is only one entity, there is no competition.

There is way more risk of "regulatory capture" when there is only one entity than when competition exist. Journals ownership of what public funding pays is a case of regulatory capture.

Scientists should demand their work to be in the open, or it will not really be science.

Your examples indeed show common problems with several approaches when place is coupled to a time and then proceed to ignore the place (of meeting or user) when converting times.

I should add that where we store UTC that concerns a place, we also know/store that place in lat,long (or anything that resolves to this) and use that to show it in any timezone, to any user in any timezone, ..even in any era (yes places can change timezone).
For me real simple: Evernote works only on Chrome, at least the new version. And the Evernote team was quite smug about it.

Food security. Anywhere paying attention to history knows that you can get starved into submission, so if you don't have food security any money you spent on walls, navies, missile silos etcetera was pointless. So it makes good public policy sense to subsidize local food production and/or have high tariffs on imported food.

In WWII Britain came closest to having to surrender due to food shortages. It didn't have then (and doesn't have now) enough food production to feed everybody, it relies on imports, and during a war that gets tricky. It got down to, I think, one week's rations on hand. If the U-boats had been just a little bit luckier for just another couple of weeks the British government anticipated uncontrollably levels of public disorder and then one way or another surrender.
Some tips for beginners:

- Make sure you don't overtrain, as it can make you feel burned out, which can last a week or longer, and certainly will not help a depression. It also will not make your muscles grow faster. It's better to start slowly.

- If you can't do an exercise in a controlled manner, reduce the weight.

- Also don't target the same muscle-group more than once a week. Your muscles need time to recover.

- Muscles grow most if you load them (slowly) while they are being stretched.

- Find a training buddy.

- If you take supplements, be aware that they can have an effect on your mood. For example, L-glutamine and taurine (which are in many protein shakes) are known to affect neurotransmitters.
Oh dear, look at those features.
Typescript is becoming the big valley of types and syntax overheads. In order to be productive, as a developer I should learn or know almost all the distinct syntax rules and tons of best practices.

An ideal (or close to it) typed language will have only few type rules and better way to compose them.

I prefer either ReasonML or PureScript

ReasonML is great if you are looking lightweight alternative for compatibility with existing JS libraries. It has relatively far less type syntax than TypeScript.

I find PureScript (which also compiles to JS) to be more succinct and solving the right problems for the developer. Although you need to spend some time writing monadic adapter layer over existing JS library API interface if you want to use them but given the confidence and safety provided by PS compiler, I think it's worth the time.

Side issue, at some point (probably still are) they were selling downloadable DRM content (not noticed with Sounds), of shows you have already paid for. I'm still bitter about their digital archive project that they wasted so much money on. License fee funded content should be liberated. I know licensing is difficult when it comes to partnerships, but it highlights another broken part of the license fee. Their archives would be really useful to liberate. I've succombed in the past to buying DVDs of series. And the quality is really poor. So I've already paid twice. The BBC is quite good value for money but the license fee makes me sick, especially when they comercially are exploiting it.

The radio shows used to be downloadable without the songs due to license constraints. I'm guessing Sounds allows them via some kind of DRM to include music, but even at 28 days they time-out for me within the app a little too fast.
