I just wrote about this very thing: http://justindavis.co/2015/06/16/my-new-schedule/. I've been working on getting more rigor into my schedule, and as a result, accomplishing more in less time.

Honestly, having the time for this stuff is about intentionality. It doesn't happen without structure, planning and a commitment to making those things happen. Else, excuses and life in general end up ruining the best intentions. I've found that the best way to get results is to establish a strong structure and routine, and let that guide your activities.

Another related point: don't think about "finishing this book" or other completion-related goals. Those get overwhelming, and you'll find yourself falling out of the habit, just due to the perceived effort.

Instead, work on managing the ACTIVITIES, not the result. Don't say you want to finish X book - say you want to read for 30 minutes a day, that's it. By managing those activities, you'll end up with the results you want by default. Honestly, it just works.

To sum it up: make a routine, manage the activities, NOT the results, and commit to yourself to make the time. Fact is, successful folks are successful because they take it on themselves to make things happen. Start with 30 minutes, and you'll see that it wickedly changes your outlook.

Good luck!

What I mean is that UO (at RP servers) is more like mass theatre. You actually play the character, you meet others, you go fishing, steal eggs from neighbours farm. Went on walk and get stopped by PK, killed and robbed together. It is very different experience, very unique to UO.

At that point, it seems like it just comes down to how much you're willing to pay to be happy. If your lifestyle inflates to the point that you can't take a pay cut, then yeah, that's a shitty situation, but I know of some folks who would gladly trade $50,000 for a little more free time, and in the next year or so likely will.
Social engineering will ALWAYS be the most effective means of compromising a system. If you can get the user to run a thing, you have got them to run anything you want forever. This is not a problem with VBA, VBA is merely providing functionality (and useful functionality in many respects). There is no way to prevent this in VBA or any other technology. The only vector of mitigation is educating the user.
What a steaming pile of unmitigated bullshit.

Prof. Tallis has constructed a critique of something he clearly isn't willing to understand: his example of a straight line connecting two points on the earth's surface through means of a tunnel is simply the invention of an extra dimension, a simple concept that even a superficially educated but curious layperson (like me) would recognize.

He creates a bizarre straw man equivalency between 'social space' and curved mathematical space based apparently solely on the fact that they're both labeled by the same word, then kind of axiomatically assigns legitimacy to the former over the latter without any explanation. The whole thing is bizarre in the extreme.

The picture is just wonderful, however.

This story obviously becomes a proxy for "what to do with uber / sharing economy employees" given the recent labor commission ruling in the favor of a plantiff (1)

I think that the current "one size fits all" thinking is wrong here.

If you look at the actual hour distribution of drivers, self published by Uber (2), you'll see data emerge that is backed up by my personal interactions with uber / lyft / etc drivers:

Category One - Probably Contractors - In my experience a large percentage of drivers are using uber as a stop-gap for other income. Or they are retired. Or are small biz owners etc. They are happy to use uber to pay for weekend gas, insurance, whatever. They work when they want, how they want.

Category Two - Probably Part Time Employees - Drivers that have another part-time job, and use uber as the other "half" of their income. The measure for a "part time employee" is quantified as 1 - 34 hours. But I'd say the more fair measure is 20 hrs.

Category Three - Probably Full Time Employees - Drivers that are working in excess of 40 hours and provide HUGE benefit to uber by being always on, more "professional", and are the backbone to their service model. It also seems like just a sound biz strategy to wrap up your MVPs as employees

When I compare these observations to the data they released last Dec it seems to support those general categories.

And probably each of those levels needs different protections and categorizations in the sharing-economy.

Am I the only one offended by "hungry" requirement?
I haven't yet used systemd, so maybe it works great, but here are the warning flags:

0) pulseaudio
1) there used to be many choices for startup that were relatively easy yo switch between. Systemd seems to be hard to switch to and back.
2) systemd seems to keep reimplimenting old things in its suite, without any regard for the previous experience.

Fundamentally, I worry that one day when in update my debian box, things are going to be super broken as a result of systemd subsuming many pieces of the system with new buggy versions that are not easy to stop using.

This is in contrast to openbsd: Their developers also have a poor attitude, and reimplement old ideas, but they develop in a modular fashion, and are conscious of past experience. By modular, I mean I can take their ntp server if i like it, without switching everything. And it's relative easy to switch between their https and others, etc.

You're only accounting for one kind of expense here: short-term, visible payroll costs. But Shyp's whole goal here is to create a brand built on amazing customer service. That's determined by things that are much harder to measure.

Making decisions based only on the most visible numbers is a business version of the Streetlight Effect[1]. If we want to do this right, we also have to ask things like: What's the expense of increased turnover? Of lower morale? Of poorly trained employees? Of decreased service quality? Of worse word-of-mouth advertising? Of increased advertising budgets needed to compensate?

That's not to say that cheap is never the way to go. But if we're going to use numbers, we should use them well.

This. It was my youth too.
Besides the fun, it molded my career.
UO was the ultimate reason I did CS. I learned to script in EasyUO to up chars in unofficial servers, and sell it to friends. I learned something about web-development so I could set up reports and graphs of my char progress, and manage that from school, over the Internet. I even learned something about "phreacking" (what a old word) so i could connect to the internet for free.

I feel old. Must be the same thing that people from the commodore/amiga era feels like...
Why we don't build "micro monolithics" ?

Why microservice I am very specialized, and every service should do just one thing well, think about send an email, load the ads or load the comments.

Why we don't build a very shallow service, that does everything for just a very small part of the website ?

In a classic website a micro monolithics (mm) could be something like "/login" or "/post-picture".

The mm will not call any other service but it will be able to do every action by itself.

Simply deploy a (or more) new service for every (busy) end point of your application.

In this way we can share, or isolate, our codebase.

It would be easy to deploy, basically you are simply using a whole server to run one single function at very high frequency.

It can bring a lot of chance for optimization.

Just thinking...

Downvoting because it's a non-issue. If I'm copying and pasting something from the web into my terminal, it's because I trust the source.

It's not any less secure than downloading a tarball and running scripts inside of it. That's equally insecure and people have been doing that since the dawn of the internet.
Oh no! Could I trouble you for what env this occurs in? Does a refresh fix it?
Thanks for the response. I'm not a developer (yet... heh), but I think I'm probably within sniffing distance of the top of the pay scale for my particular role. It's a weird feeling to know, "Welp, this is the end of big raises," but at the same time, I'm incredibly relieved by the thought that I could go my whole life without another pay bump, even for cost of living, and still be totally fine. I wouldn't want that, sure, but so long as I don't get myself fired I'll have everything I need. What a ridiculously lucky deal we've found.

The less emotional benefit of getting higher in the pay scale is that job-switches can be about something more meaningful than just, "Oh shit, that's more money!" Now, so long as I can get close, I'll be happy to just go wherever would be most fulfilling.

Huudlr's 5 Awesome Party Ideas for This 4th of July
I remember the days of beta where the guards only had 100HP and could be killed by monsters or regular players. In specific I remember finding a blade spirits scroll and casting it (when scrolls could be cast by anyone) on the border of Vesper towards Cove. Many many guards and players died quickly. I managed to escape and hide until it went away.

I then took a dead guard's plate, cape and halberd equipped it. Looking exactly like an NPC guard I wandered around the city tricking other players. You could enter combat stance and everyone would flee.

Funny to think I can still vividly remember this 18-19 years later but can hardly remember the plot of many of the recent AAA titles.

> I admit not to play too many games recently, but from what I've seen in AAA titles, it's dominated with bland orchestral ambientals.

Not all AAA titles are remarkable for their music, and there's a lot of good music to be found in more independent titles.

I'll admit to being a sucker for a good orchestra, though.

> There's still no adaptive phrasing

While far fewer games use it than ought to, that's been around for quite a long time. Take a look at Wind Waker, released in 2002/2003.
