Paying for usage appeals to nerds but most people don't know how much of the service they do/will use and have been burned by overage fees. They prefer to pay for the service that fits their need (talk to your family for as long as you want) rather than a utility (pay 2¢ a minute) even if the utility would turn out to be cheaper in the long run. We know that, we sell on the benefit, right?

Especially that the prices should fluctuate if you were to pay for what you use. A taxi at night is already more expensive, and electric energy is sometimes cheaper but this should apply smoothly (but not necessarily predictably) to nearly every service: surge pricing everywhere and forever.

The added cognitive burden and transaction costs simply aren't worth it a lot of the time so you get various all inclusive offers instead that have to favour some outliers.

Judging from this comment and others, you seem uninterested in civility or truth. I doubt anything can change your mind on this issue.

Still, others read these comments, so I feel compelled to offer corrections: 18 months ago, I pledged $50 to Neovim's Bountysource. My company has not contributed a cent to Neovim. We maintain plugins for many text editors, including Vim and Neovim. That's it.

You keep slinging mud, but there is no ulterior motive at work here. I urge you to treat people more charitably in the future.

I'm much the same, a lot of the time I find it hard to do things like Project Euler or redoing work in a new language because it's not interesting to me.

I have found that watching videos from things like GDC/TED talks about particular software techniques has given me motivation to try and copy them. Yeah, I'm not pushing the boundaries of human knowledge or making a killer app but it's a new piece of technology or technique that I've never done before.

Perhaps look to implement something that you haven't done before in a way you haven't done before. Personally, my current project is a Fiber based raytracer. Having never done either before, it's an interesting problem to solve when you don't look at anything but documentation on MSDN for functions.
I don't think akavel was criticizing you. Advertising ones own projects is encouraged here.
I suppose it's because I've spent quite a lot of time in the GNU Readline source that this function doesn't seem that bad. Not that I'm wanting to endorse it as great code, of course.

I find it fascinating to look at how old but very well used software develops (often, but not always) in ways that seem completely ghastly.
Well put. I think your approach is sound, and it's a good way to get more exposure for your business.
Hmh; I think there might have been kinda misunderstanding (?) - I'll edit my comment to change "interesting" to "nice", hopefully this way it will better express my original intent.

In other words, big thanks for making me aware of the FASM! Not sure if I'll ever use it, but totally worth remembering for future, just in case. Or, who knows; maybe for some hobby AVRing I hope to do it'd be actually easier than the whole AVR-GCC stuff?
"The Zone" is not as productive as you think. But also being tech lead for two projects is not a good way to live - you can probably stand to be tech lead on one project, or work on two projects at once, but not both. Find someone you trust enough to hand one of the lead positions over to. If no-one is good enough, maybe you need to work on hiring and/or training.
Very difficult to judge from the donation page as to how likely is the success in the case. I would happily donate if I see there is a good chance of a win.
How is this exactly related to what’s happening? I’m baffled by that conclusion (or accusation).
> and you have to fly united, which for me would kill all the value.

I used to love flying United (note: I mostly flown transatlantic flights with them; only one domestic US flight and the difference was stark), for a simple reason:

While basic economy in United isn't all that great, their frequent flyer program is (or used to be, been a few years) very good in terms of ease of getting upgrades or perks. Getting up in the tiers enough to always get free upgrades to Premium Economy didn't take much, and the top tiers are actually possible to reach if you travel a bit for business, unlike e.g. British Airlines where you practically have to live in the air to get to their higher tiers.

Business on United did not match business on e.g. BA or Virgin, but on the other hand upgrades to business on United was as reliable as clockwork - I got upgrades ca. every 3rd leg once I'd gotten to one of their upper tiers (which includes a multiplier on miles).

If you fly now and again for leisure, base it on what you'll pay for, sure. But if travelling for business, how the upgrades stack up makes a huge difference.

OK, MS wants our data. So do Apple, Google, FB. No news. But they already have everything: The user (MS account) when downloading VS. The id of the copy (serial number or whatever), all kind of information related to the Windows Version, the currently logged in user, machine data, ... VS or Windows can collect usage data, etc.

Why do they want me to sign in VS? They already have it all, don't they?

Or are there simpler (less paranoid :-)) reasons?

That _is_ quite a bit to be carrying around, but definitely not an unreasonable occurrence. After all, when a person decides they've found their absolute favorite strain, then purchasing a decent supply (for some weeks, like any other household staple) is a reasonable action for them to take.

Purchasing habits will slowly change from the "let's pick up a couple grams" mentality to the, "Uh-oh, better add an ounce of kush to the weekend to-do list" mentality.

Not that this stops it from happening, Google eg. "sell frequent flyer miles". It's doubly risky though: from what I can tell all the companies in this space are by definition more or less dodgy, plus the airline will catch on pretty quick and confiscate your miles (yes, they can do that) if you start redeeming first-class tickets for a whole bunch of "cousins" with random names and in random places.

I find it very disturbing that you need tens of thousands of dollars at your disposal to get a "fair" trial.

I say "fair", because the output obviously changes with the amount of money you feed the system. Too little money and the outcome will be biased against you, too much money and the outcome will be biased in the other direction. Which amount will give an unbiased output? $50k? $100k?

How can this be considered normal?

Which is kind of like saying that Ebola isn't any worse than any other hemorrhagic fever.

I encourage everyone to watch this before they comment on ADHD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCAGc-rkIfo

While it won't make you an expert, it will perhaps help you understand what it is people with ADHD suffer through.

There are bad doctors and bad policies out there which are being resolved. They don't diagnose young children anymore even if it seems likely since some children will "catch up" and stop exhibiting symptoms. This is the source of many teens and adults today that discover that once they stop taking medication they don't need it. As our understanding of the disorder grows so does our ability to accurately diagnose it.

That said, while I can't speak for the person you replied to that shit is incredibly frustrating. Your empathy is unusual and appreciated but regardless of the rate of misdiagnosis you are not a doctor and are admittedly entirely ignorant about it.

I can't emphasize enough to those reading this that no matter how much you might doubt it, the people who work in this field do in fact know more about it than you do and making an armchair diagnosis or questioning a doctor's diagnosis does nothing but make you look like the kind of know-it-all that really knows nothing while maligning someone who has to read ignorant comments like yours in every damn discussion on the internet where ADHD comes up.

I know it's easy to think you've got all of the answers when understanding complex problems comes naturally but these doctors don't spend nearly a decade or more in school sitting around with their thumbs up their asses. There are tremendous amounts of research going into ADHD by doctors and scientists who actually understand the problem domain more thoroughly than you ever could simply by reading a headline about a study that documents the rate of misdiagnosis for a disorder.

Please understand this disorder is not some cry for attention or an exaggeration of one or two symptoms you mildly share with those that suffer through it every single day. It's not "laziness" or a lack of discipline and determination. People with ADHD lose their jobs and destroy relationships with family and friends alike. It's humiliating and the cherry on top of the shit sundae is friends, family and every asshole on the internet accusing you of faking it. No one wants that. No one wants to learn that there's a genetic component and guess what, your kid's lives might suck too. Even with medication. Methamphetamine is not some magic cure-all. It only addresses a subset of symptoms. No one wants to struggle every day wondering why they should even bother getting out of bed because it's exhausting fighting yourself.

Sorry for the rant.

United is a tradeoff: You suffer until you've flown enough to get up a couple of tiers in their frequent fliers program, at which point they're great as their frequent flier programme is quite generous. If you don't fly much, then I'd avoid them too. When you do fly much (and 75k miles a year would get you to Premier Platinum, their second highest tier) it's a very different situation. Not least because you also earn miles at a higher multiple at the higher tiers.

Your use of the word "apart" right at the beginning is likely to be a cause of confusion. Clearly, in this context, you mean it in the "as well as" sense, but I initially read it in the "instead of" sense, and I think most other English-as-1st-language speakers would do the same. Qualifying it e.g. "quite apart from..." can avoid the misunderstanding.

I think the desire for bike infrastructure often distracts from the real problem, which is the excessive number of cars and large vehicles. The only way to fix transport in central London is to find ways to ban private cars (and preferably HGVs) completely. There simply isn't enough room for busy roads. The endless stream of traffic makes the city a usability nightmare for anyone on foot.

If airlines could do so, they would. It’s very expensive to fly an empty plane. But those planes are on a tight and inflexible schedule - they’d be flying even if no one boarded the plane at all.

The answer is time management. Yes, you are out of college but learning is a continuous process, if you learn and add to your knowledge base, you fail to grow to your best. Thank goodness, you love mathematics, I love it too and it is easier with high numeracy skills to learn mathematical and computer application skills faster. What you need to do is, to set an hour a day for studying. The last hour before you go to bed, should be ideal. Don't to keep your pencil and notepad, generate notes (if you are going to present them to your employer), solve many problems but make sure you have understood the principles and theories thoroughly before attempting to solve relevant problems.when you wake up in the morning, spare the first 10 minutes to go through what you did the previous night, let this be a habit, a daily routine. Stay committed and stay focused, best of luck.

What exactly is great in Dart in comparison with other languages?
I've been at this game professionally for over 30 years and still struggle to switch context, and now the memory isn't as sharp as it once was.

I can have several projects on the go at one time, and need to provide technical support to various customers "on-demand". My coping strategies are:

I context switch as little as possible and try to spend at least a solid day on each project. Of course the support calls scupper this when they come in.

I've persuaded my boss to either email, or save up all his attention-breaking calls into a single one each day.

I have a text file for each project into which I log what I'm doing and why. You probably know what it's like to be several levels down your stack, "in the zone", when a call comes in. By adding just a line or two, indented, I can quickly recover where I was. eg:

Starting to build routine XYZ
Need to add new table ABC to database
User will need maintenance for that. ToDo.
Ask Joe to add it to testing. done.
Table added.
Create AA class
Need a new SQL view for that
Created view
If this gets more complex in future, consider changing to an SP.
Added to deployment file
Would this class be better split?
That would make for better design, but time is limited now
Not convinced UserView belongs in here...

... RING... RING... aggghhhh... mental construct collapses in a heap.

I also add comments in there about ideas, changes, problems. If I don't get to pick the project back up for a week or two, I can read the last few dozen lines and get back to where I was. It's also invaluable for recalling why something was done or not, and what else was considered. Using a simple text file allows a bunch of projects to be "grepped" for specific key words very quickly.
It reminds me of this story: http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2015/02/27/2120422/meet-the-man-w...

"When he was seven years old, Max-Hervé George was given a magic ticket by his father. It lets him turn back the clock, to invest with perfect hindsight week after week, steadily accumulating a fortune.

The ticket is a life insurance contract and Mr George, now 25, has fought for years in the French courts to preserve its magic. He could be a billionaire by the end of this decade and, by the end of the next, his contract would be worth more than the insurance company which stands behind it, Aviva France.

There is no mystery to the financial magic, however. Instead it is a story of grand stupidity, of how a French insurer wrote the worst contract in the world and sold it to thousands of clients.

The company was L’Abeille Vie. In 1987 it began to offer a special deal to its richer clients, a Fixed Price Arbitrage Life Insurance Contract.

Life insurance is a popular savings product in France, and typically the customer allocates their money among different investment funds offered by the insurer. But this contract was not typical: prices for the funds were published each Friday, and clients were allowed to switch funds at those prices anytime before the next price was published, even if markets moved in the meantime.

L’Abeille Vie called this an arbitrage, but really it was a gift. Is the stock market up this week? Just call your broker to buy it at last week’s price and pocket the difference."

Is that a routing issue, or a fragmentation problem? Reducing your MTU on a GRE link greatly improves performance.

Why?

Simply to assert their self-assigned rights over everything that you write, think and do and to line up ready to easily collect the drip feed of cash they want from everyone.

For this they trade you semi-functional software, vague promises that are usually broken and marketing hype.

I'm not sure Bradley Manning would have had a considerably bigger chance of getting pro bono defense than Chelsea Manning does now.
