What did your acquaintance get for their part?

I had a kindof similar situation long ago, where a friend worked for a high-frequency trading company and I had been developing a low-overhead high-precision resource and system monitoring framework. I would supply him development builds of the agents and a web login to monitor and tune their trading systems while I got some free production testing in return, it seemed fair at the time.

As things matured and I started exploring paths for monetization, when I approached that trading company about a possible contract my "friend" demanded half ownership stake in the business in return for their becoming the first paying customer.

Nope.
With Clio, you can develop modules and host them, so you can import them via network from another server. You can essentially build microservices as clio modules and build up decentralized systems. Feel free to join our telegram group to discuss about this. We love to hear new suggestions! :)
Those are all 640x480 though. In general a lot of the early computer style starts to blur the line from true "pixel art" into "low bit depth graphics".
I feel you. But I don’t things have to be looked at so narrow. There are hardly any people on this planet that have your opportunity to fix things for the better. There are enough challenges to put your heart into and find fresh energy if you start looking. You just need to fall in love again with something that you really consider worthwhile your time. I am sure there will be something.
I'm not the OP, but it's a switch I'm strongly considering making. I'm looking at doing it by going back to get a Masters in Quantitative Finance, so that's one possible option.
You can, and please do—be happy. We need more happy people in the world. I've found that the people who push others or suggest others do what they're doing are insecure about their own pursuits (and I say that as someone who _does_ spend most of their time aggressively pursuing their own ideas).
Thank you for the reassurance!
He was a great inventor, yes. But the results of all his efforts, in mathematics and engineering were fruitless for him. He died in debt, a disillusioned man. And why? Perhaps a good biography of the man will enlighten you.

Giant Concentric Circles in Granite Springs Valley, NV
I run a small MOOC helping country side municipalities/rural communities in Scandinavia with teaching their youth and young adults about IT, networking and cloud technologies. It started as a pilot project in a small municipality north of the arctic circle and I sold my first license in February. It then quickly gained attraction in similar types of municipalities when the results came in.

It was a lot of work in the beginning, but now I usually have a very nice schedule. Every week I spend around 4 hours researching different topics, 8 hours on updating or creating videos for the platform and 4-8 hours in video meetings with customers or regarding new business opportunities.

This year I made north of €150k (~$167604) and will double that before Q3. Seeing how things are going, most likely I will not be a one man show by the summer due to a need for account management and/or content creation, but it's doable.

I don't know where you live. But here in San Francisco, my neighborhood dispensary ("Apothecarium") is a top-notch experience, sort of like visiting a luxury goods store. They have a great waiting area, and when your name is called (usually within a few minutes), there's a concierge waiting for you who will take you through the entire buying process. It's very civilized.

You could specify that your method takes an object which has method XYZ accepting an int as its parameter and returning another int -- a kind of "anonymous" interface, I guess. Personally I don't like this kind of stuff because there's no guarantee that two objects with a convert method do the same thing when that method is called.

If you didn't have reliable IDE support while developing python then you didn't use a good IDE or the code you were working with had too much dynamic voodoo nonsense. One must never go "full dynamic", because you then get the worst of both worlds.

I've generally had reliable IDE support for python for almost a decade now. First in the form of PyDev on Eclipse, and now PyCharm.
Similarly in the UK I have done bits of everything from IC design, IC design software, ARM assembly, webserver (Zeus), network engineering, sysadmin, web apps, Windows CE, and even some actual soldering. Small companies are great for this.
Overtime is a far better deal. You don't have to commute or switch environments, just continue doing what you're doing (which may not be all that bad) and make a multiplier based on far you go overtime.

Add in holidays and other shifts and some people can double their income doing overtime which would be impossible to pull off with a second job.

Digital assets have zero marginal costs. That is to say, yes, storage and transfer is not free as in beer, but it is very cheap. Which is why we have that tax to cover losses from copying. Not just in France, also in Germany, The Netherlands, and probably many more countries in EU.

It's all just tradeoffs in the end - I think golang is finding some success because they didn't make the same tradeoffs everyone else did.

This. A pixel is a point sample, not a tiny square - even in pixel art. That's why "upscaling" pixel art even to seemingly ludicrous extents is in fact quite appropriate. If you interpolate with a Gaussian kernel, it will yield something very much like what CRT's display, but in a purely digital interpolation you can do a lot better than that. A Lanczos-based resampling gives you a 'watercolor'-like effect that optimally accounts for every single pixel in the original image, while keeping the upsampled image smooth with no "pixelation" whatsoever. (Pixel-art specific algorithms are appropriate to images or sprites with a small color palette, where it is desirable to keep this constraint and generate sharp boundaries between differently-colored areas. Even then, the point is basically to keep things smooth while optimally accounting for what's in the original image.)

It's easier to beat Valve's lawyers than Sony's. Sony has a long history of paying out the nose for lawyers who could convince a judge that a law saying "Kill no one" meant "Genocide is legal for Sony Corporation!" (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment_Am...)

Apple and Microsoft are the two most valuable companies on the planet right now, and they, too, can get some great lawyers (though they haven't demonstrated the same courtroom magic that Sony has).

I can't remember who originally was responsible for this quote, but "Nintendo is a pile of cash disguised as a video game company" is something that has been proven anything but incorrect over the past decades. Wouldn't want to pick a fight in any court with them, either. (Relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Nintendo)

Valve, though? Valve is worth little in comparison, and hasn't had a great history in court. Easy pickings. Then, after you win against Valve, you go up, using the precedent set to help you with the next target.

My experience has been vastly different. Pre-legalization I had many local dispensaries I could choose from. Now there is one. The legal weed is overly dry and over packaged.

Alternatively, might they simply value to enter world (through themselves & others)?
Well, just involving the Americans, walking a tightrope of diplomacy, not losing the battle of Britain, and basically surviving was quite a trick and kept it a two front war. Otherwise the Russians quite likely would not have survived, at least in eastern Europe.

Because obviously the allies were there holding the ground.

I'm not saying it was single-handedly, but without Churchill and a very few other good leaders, there would have been a very different outcome. I am saying that there were quite a few other things going on at the time, the causes that led to this famine have very little to do with Churchill.
I would gladly join something like this. I don't care about money, I just need about $50/day to survive where I live. I have notes on hundreds of inventions that may never see the light of day. I don't even have time to watch Khan Academy videos to refresh me on the college calculus I need to solve some of the equations. Because I've spent every day the last 20 years struggling to make rent and my passion is on life support.

I've honestly given up at this point. Without some kind of alternative to whatever all this is, I consider the startup world to be an evolutionary dead end. I give it a very solid vote of no confidence and consider it so far removed from the world that we could have made that it's now actively suppressing any kind of real innovation.
Yeah, I was probably working in an environment with pretty low packet loss.

Looking at the problem holistically - if you're going to spend money on Aspera to fix situations with high packet loss, maybe you're better off spending money on a higher quality connection and using tcp.

PGP is secure and versatile. It's also somewhat dated and GPG is quite an awful implementation to interact with. It barely composes with anything that wants to abstract it's insane UI into something an average user understands. It has dated defaults and supports outdated cryptography, while GPG has very dated UI and refuses to properly support bindings so applications can safely interact with it.

It's not just the high resolution, but the hand-rendered anti-aliasing that gives it that pixelated look. Pixel art is most satisfying IMO when the lines are sharp and/or the dithering is clear.

> The protocol totally ignores drops, for flow control. Instead, it measures change in transit time. The receiver knows, the sender needs to know, but the useful lifetime of the measurement is less than the transit time. This should make an engineer think "control theory!" (and did). So, the receiver reports a stream of transit time samples back to the sender, which feeds them into a predictor, which controls transmission rate. Simple, in principle, but the wide Internet is full of surprises.

I've started collecting libraries (cards) from each place I live. Libraries will often have more than one digital service (Overdrive, Hoopla, Borrowbox), and each library may have sharing agreements with neighboring systems.

I use the Chrome Instant Multi Search extension to search all the libraries+services – about 12 different sites at this point. Between them they have almost every book I want in e-book or audiobook, and by placing holds I can keep a steady queue of books going. Managed 125 books this year that way, the majority of them digital, and free.

TL;DR: The keyword reply to your post is the word "library".

> a) Physical degradation: The book that's been read 500 times will generally be in pretty bad shape.

500 times is a lot, but either way, it still works perfectly fine. Which is why libraries tended to work well.

> Transaction costs coming from locality: I can't transmit a book from SF to NY for free. It costs time /and/ money

Not much time if they pick it up or if you combine it with grocery shopping. Money: you can sell it. Then the buyer pays the transport costs. Yes, it does add up, but in my country selling a book on a platform only costs about 5 EUR extra. There is a difference between adding such 5 EUR to the total cost of resell, and making it downright impossible to resell (the current situation).

It used to be a lot cheaper to sell books before globalism. You'd do it on a flea market, or give it away to the library. Then people get to use it as well. That book you own, you can probably sell it to someone in SF instead of NY (which has less carbon footprint as well).

Basically, there is something inherent in humans that yes they like to collect, but they also like to get rid of things and have others reuse it. Which is why books do reach second hand markets. Why can we not do the same for games? Because of artificial barriers, that is why. Artificial barriers like these can be solved by law.

You cut out all of the overhead: no new processes, policies, and personalities to learn; the work environment is already setup, as is billing; and there’s no chance of conflict of interest concerns.

There’s also no expectation of it continuing, which is good if you don’t want to have to deal with a side project running longer than expected. That’s bad if you’re looking for a true second job but I’ve known plenty of, say, young non-Christians who happily worked on Christmas at a healthy bonus.
It's not clear what specifically is the problem that defines the door as locked in your comment. I'm going to assume it's life circumstances. The problems you have to overcome or sacrifices you have to make to unlock and open the door are part of what makes the corridor behind the door meaningful.

In the lock itself resides the conflict needed to be solved, maybe the non-door path includes things you find valuable and you really are conflicted between two corridors of different values. Maybe family is more important to you than a purposeful career or whatever.

Encryption does not fix this completely even if you assume all texts and voice calls are encrypted. The metadata is equally important:

- your location in time and space

- the numbers you contacted

- the duration of contact
Because phones are totally insecure.

The only secure option is using an external WiFi or cellular data router for Internet connectivity. The router can of course be geolocated. And adversaries may gain some access. But it should be possible to prevent access through it to the phone. That is, it's a firewall.

Then do end-to-end encrypted Internet stuff, messaging and VoIP. And by using some mix of VPNs and Tor, adversaries won't even see most metadata. Except for communication timing, of course.

See https://blog.torproject.org/mission-improbable-hardening-and...

Edit: But this still doesn't protect from some third party with root rights on the phone. For Android, the Copperhead OS might be enough. But I don't know enough to know. And for iOS, I suspect that you're stuck trusting Apple.

I added Arch to my 2012 MacBook after it started feeling frustratingly sluggish. So you don’t need to wait to buy a new machine just to switch to Linux. There’s also the option to run it in a vm with some shared folders with your MacBook. You can basically live within the vm full time and switch out of it for photoshop.
> I don't see how a phone or watch is more convenient than a credit card; I'm carrying backup cash and ID at a minimum already, so adding a credit card to the mix doesn't really lighten my load.

Not the parent poster, but I don't carry a wallet. I quite often head to the store without picking up anything on my way out, with my pockets empty, buy some groceries and pay with my watch.

Usually when I'm out for an evening at a bar or restaurant, I'm out with only my phone and watch.

I find it quite freeing not to have to carry much, but YMMV: I'm in Australia, and I don't think I've seen a 'cash only' vendor in over 6 months, and I haven't seen anywhere that takes card but not NFC payments in literally years.
