>I can't really understand where it's going?

Same here. That's why I find it interesting. Some half baked ideas that feel accurate and useful. No big theory about life. Perfect blog post.

Richard Montañez has all my admiration for what he achieved. This is a beautiful story.

Unfortunately, those kinds of stories also play into the narrative: be a good model employee, make sure the floors shine and trust that hard work, and great ideas will make you deservedly insanely rich. Because there are smart CEOs who will see all of that

Cinderella, capitalist version.

Too rare to be significant as a policy. Most likely does not scale. Too often, dreams are useful to convince people to accept their fate.

What helps me is to walk, instead of sitting in a room. When I walk, my fidgety body is kept busy, and leaves my brain in peace, not even costing any brain-cpu cycles.

Then, it is a lot harder to reach to your cellphone when you walk. So it helps me get rid of 2 major distractions, body and phone, with very little effort. Now I can think.

Maybe you just don't know? The simple fact that some people want to unionize shows your picture may differ from reality.

I know some people at lower levels (blurring, moderating) being laid off just before one year just because they don't want to consider them as full blown employees.

I may misunderstand the thread, but it looks to me like they don't want to fix it, even though it is the spec, and other browsers do follow it.

Thank you, I will try. I was actually trying to mix web app (https:// mydomain.com) and connecting to localhost. And yes, a localhost URL in the bar looks ugly... Trade-offs...

I am trying to do this too. But I would like to make it work on MacOS as well. The problem there is Safari does not let you connect to localhost over http. So if Safari is the preferred browser of the user, you need to convince them to change, which is hard.

Or is there à better way there?

Why is the self driving ecosystem trying to solve every driving challenge, which is very hard, rather than focussing on highway driving, ideally reserved lanes, high speed and close cars. And progressively expand those areas "reserved to self driving card" over time. It feels like it would bring a lot of value while reducing complexity a lot. If this is a silly question, please let me know why.

Most countries on earth don't really play baseball. In those, the huge majority of people have never heard of Babe Ruth.

Because it is part of the game, hate it or love it. English players and fan where pissed, but Maradona got away with it, so respect. All of them would have done the same if they knew they could get away with it. Especially in such a big game.

Plus, it's just a game, nobody died. And it's fun to watch how a very small player beat a giant keeper through creativity and boldness.

It depends on the size of the company, what it sells and how, and the revenue targets.

I currently do software engineering/dev, account management, sales (sort of), and business management by myself. Small biz, not a startup, profitable enough to pay a fair salary after mine.

I'd rather start with one person than 2, and I'll have a hard time believing that 2 people is absolutely necessary where 0.2 is the current situation.

"Set up a small team of one or two strong individual contributors to take on marketing duties."

I think a strong IC Sales + Marketing, who can work solo, generate revenue (Sales), while thinking longer term and process (Mktg + sales op), would be a killer.

Does it exist or am I dreaming? Anybody has such experience, seen it working or not?

Quite interesting. I have written software (and still do), that follow those falsehoods. But in many of those projects, it did not matter ultimately.

So I am glad I did not sweat over those, and got something up and running, and did not get bogged by some of those very difficult questions.

Hopefully for the projects that stick around I'll be able to do some clean-up...

Same here. I even know there are 360 degrees in a circle.

Took me a while on my small phone to see there was a North, therefore the 0 was not trigonometric on the right. Then I realized that the north was not up. By the time dumb me finally understood all this, I wondered if the angle should be negative like -90 degrees when towards west, or +270??

Finally I tried to do 180+45, entered 235, was told I was again not a human, realized I was super dumb about my math, and now wondering if the 2 minutes were expired.

And just spent 5 minutes explaining all that rather than trying again. Captchas can be overkill.

If I had 2 knives in my kitchen that behave quite differently, but achieved the same goal as efficiently, as long as you know how to use them, then I would be tired of cutting myself. I would drop one really quick.

If you are not a restaurant, and eating polenta is fine for you, and make you save time and increase fun, then go for it!!

My business is not programming, is to provide a service.

I understand the right tool may make a tremendous difference in a big team or someone coding full time, but not for me.

I am an intermittent developer, because I need to sell, and manage my (small) business too.

In my case, using javascript on the front end and PHP in the back, and as a scripting language for servers was frustrating. Function names are always slightly so different...

I increased my productivity and my fun tremendously when I switched to Node on the backend.

Sometimes I am thinking about using Python for computer vision stuff. Nope... Everything Javascript, so much better for my sanity.

Aren't those codec exchanges and handshakes managed by ICE? Why would you need to go into this layer yourself?

Again, people spreading false statistics, maybe to serve the "hero/risk taker" narrative? Yawn.

About 50% of businesses close their door in the first 5 years, not 95%. [1]

When someone makes such a common huge mistake, I am thinking that either they are not the slightest competent, or that they have an agenda that cannot be justified with realistic/honest numbers.

If you have never seen Klein's blue in real life, just know it looks very different from the rendering you see on the website.

He credits the video as his inspiration in his 2/2 tweet.

I would take the other side of your bet in a heartbeat. There is no love for FAANG in France, especially when they are paying fewer taxes than local businesses.

The respectful admiration that people have in the US for big businesses and successful entrepreneurs doe not exist in France. Instead, there is the same feeling for the rebellious, for the one the fighting against big businesses, for the people.

Isn't there a higher likelihood for the virus to mutate if a large population gets it?

FIFA executives. Even though I found it awesome.

To illustrate the same point differently: if the USA had the same population density as the UK, there would be 2.5 billion people living there, instead of the current 327 million.

Math: 327 million US ppl * 274 UK ppl per sq km / 35 US ppl per sq km.
