Ha, all of us.

It's simple, one can make good money maintaining bad software.

Those are cool. I found this funny about them:

In Japan, capsule hotels have been stereotypically used by Japanese salarymen who may be too drunk to return home safely, have missed the last train of the day to make a return trip home due to working late hours, or are too embarrassed to face their spouses.

That's an interesting nested comments visualization with it getting darker. I would guess it's stacked alpha instead of different colors.

A company hired me 10 years ago to build a new CRM system alongside their large ecosystem of existing web apps. There was only one other developer, the lead developer that had built all the other web apps. I built the CRM system in six months. Three months later the lead developer died and I became solo developer for all the apps. I'm still there solo to this day.

For front-end vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. HTML is SSR, unless an AJAX call would obviously improve UX. For back-end I don't really care as long as it's not one of those CMS frameworks that caters to the non-developer.

Wait, isn't it an incomplete example? How much money did you start with? In other words, you had to pay the developer some salary before any revenue came in.

Culture series by Iain M. Banks. There are 10 books. It's about a utopian galactic civilization governed by super AIs. Most of the super AIs are giant spaceships that transport people. Most people live for 500+ years, and a lot of them switch sexes. People also have drug glands which allow them to instantly administer 200 different drugs via mental trigger.

I want to try kiteboarding, lots of wind where I live.

I am into lifting too, but I'm home gym with minimal equipment.

Piano for me too. I come from a golf family but haven't been able to get over the hump.

I was recently hired to build an AI alignment system. But first we are doing human-human alignment/coordination. It involves prediction markets.

Slightly off topic:

I am trying to innovate on moderation systems and I run/code a whitelist moderated forum [0]. You can only see posts and comments from users that you follow. It's a very simple system and there really aren't any gaming vectors. One implication is that if a new user signs up and posts, no one will see it unless they follow. I've actually never used any typical censorship moderation.

Honestly, I'm 40 pages into HMS Surprise and it's so good!

I just finished The Left Hand of Darkness, and now I am reading HMS Surprise.

I love PT as well. I do post on r/portugal sometimes but not this topic. Maybe I will try this there. Obrigado!

Okay. I don't get up there much because I don't like cars. I'm stuck down here on my bicycle!

Wow, the last one! I will get there some day!

HMS Surprise by Patrick O'Brian, it's the 3rd novel in the Aubrey/Maturin series. It's the series that the movie Master and Commander is based on. It's about a ship captain and his doctor friend and their naval adventures in the early 1800s.

This round of updates seems amazing. I need to pour over these docs and start experimenting.

Thank you! I did the Hanon exercises years ago and they were okay, but the Czerny 599 exercises are amazing! I love them! They practically sound like songs! I will check out school of velocity and Dohnanyi.

Piano. I am doing Czerny op 599.

College class. Loved it.

Me?

Java, C, C++, Prolog, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Haskell, Common Lisp, Clojure, Lua, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, SQLite, VBScript, Python, Ruby, ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, Perl, MATLAB, Octave, Dart, Rust, assembly.

I'm probably missing some.

I think you're doing it right, just HTML at the start. Maybe show them that they can do just HTML with a single .html file and no internet connection.

It does:

https://www.commentcastles.org/r/internet

But they're a little more like tags, you can use up to 4 per post, and there are no admins for each one.

If you aren't, I'm curious how long you think it takes to learn a new programming language if one already uses many.

Are you a developer?
