defenestration

I thought about this a lot. What if we just share a lot of tools with our neighbors. It will prevent waste and free up space in your house. However, for me, it's more convenient to have my own tools. I have the freedom to mow the lawn whenever I want. Also on that sunny afternoon when all the other neighbors also want to mow their lawn. And I want a tool that's in the right condition. When I have time to do a job around the house, my tools should work. Not broken, dirty or missing a part. And I don't want a difficult conversation with my neighbor about it. Sharing and borrowing tools with my neighbors directly is fine for me. Co-owning or continuously renting together is not my cup-of-tea.

Yes, it’s spamming at a lot of posts at the moment. See the other comments it has made.

We are also fan of Figma. It's easy to work together inside the same design and the results are easy to test and present. But be warned of vendor lock-in! You can't use .fig files in other programs. Before you move your complete Sketch design library into Figma, think carefully. They make switching to Figma easy, but switching away hard. Converting your complete Figma library can be done with xd2sketch.com for hundreds to thousands of dollars. Our policy is that we only make one-offs in Figma and delete them afterwards.

This seems counterintuitive as it is the opposite of the programming ‘rule’: Tell, don’t ask.

Thanks for making the guide. For me Clojure is also not my primary language. As you write: It made me learn a lot, and changed how I program in other languages. There is a subtle beauty in Clojure.

After you start with Clojure, I can recommend doing the problems on http://www.4clojure.com/. I had a lot of fun doing the problems and learning from solutions from others.

As a starter I found this article useful with best practices for the team, tools and processes. It's from Zapier: https://zapier.com/learn/remote-work/how-manage-remote-team/

Very insightful. While reading the article, I realised that having freedom is my core motivation. And that (a bit of extra) freedom is the biggest thing my company can give people. We enable people who are diagnosed with cancer to be in charge. To not feel defeated, to make decisions and set their path. Will use this to update our messaging. Thanks for the article!

I have the same experience. After working four years with BEM, we switched to atomic css. We only use BEM for big components. It has been a delight.

Fair point, a bit more compassion would broaden my view.

I find the article hard to trust due to the emotional tone the author is using.

From the same makers the Roads to Rome is also interesting: http://roadstorome.moovellab.com/countries

Try step 3. Explore. Search for your city with the magnifying glass, and see where you can walk, bike or drive in 15 to 30 minutes from your house or office.

Would feel more honest and less like an ad, if they also mention the trade-offs and struggles.

I enjoyed learning Clojure by doing the exercises at http://www.4clojure.com/. I documented my progress and learned a lot from solutions of others.

Thanks, as a follow-up I found this comparison between PrinceXML and PDFReactor: https://www.print-css.rocks/tools.html

I would like to know that as well. We are using wkhtmltopdf for around 2 years. Had many issues with incompatible css. I considered PrinceXML. Looked solid, but a bit expensive and also lacking some css support. I'm considering switching to Puppeteer / Chrome.

I can also recommend the HBR article mentioned above.

It looks like Google is shutting down the paid version of Custom Search Engine: "On April 1st, 2017, Google will discontinue the sales of Google Site Search, the paid version of Custom Search Engine. All new purchases and renewals must take place before this date. This product will be completely shut down by April 1st, 2018." Source: https://cse.google.com/cse/

They didn't close the circle yet, to let trucks enter the midsection.

It's like Scratch on steroids. I'm making games together with my son in Scratch. Will give this a try when he's ready to try something more complex. Btw. the performance of the app is great for a web-app. What were your main challenges to get this performance?

The interest rate, conversion price and other terms of the notes are to be determined, according to the press release.

I don't use Clojure regularly now, but learning functional programming with it was great. Tip for starting clojurians: try solving the interactive problems at 4clojure.com.

When I was learning Clojure a year ago, I spent quite some time Googling the cryptic error messages. An overview like this would have been useful. But I never really understood why Clojure couldn't give better error-messages by itself.

It took me 30 minutes to read the complete letter. It was time well spent. I learned why the property/casualty insurance business has a really good business model. It also reminds me to walk away from deals where the financial fundamentals are wrong, but our competition is eager to sign. And finally, I feel that his humble tone is honest and that he is trying teach by showing his considerations, successes and failures.

Exactly. My line-of-thought: Is it the Open AI group from Elon Musk? No. Is it the AI partnership from Google and others? No. Then what is it and who is running it? The welcome and the about page need an update.

The title suggests that TDD has little or no impact on dev time or code quality at all.

The research shows no significant difference between TDD and iterative test-last (ITL) development.

Could the title be updated? To show that it is a comparison of TDD vs ITL/TLD.

I reckon if Facebook would add search to WhatsApp, it could hurt Google's ad income quite a bit.

Right now you have to close WhatsApp to start a search. And then come back when you have found the answer.

There is potential for Facebook for smooth search integration in its products and take bigger piece of the search-ad pie.

Yes, Google is mostly an advertisement company relying on search.

In 2015, Google's revenue amounted to 74.54 billion US dollars. It was largely made up (90%) by advertising revenue, which amounted to 67.39 billion US dollars in 2015. [1]

A rough estimation is that 80% of Google's advertisement revenue comes from search. [2]

Some numbers to get a grasp of the scale:

> There is 2.436.828 Ethereum in the account of the attacker (see: https://etherchain.org/account/0x304a554a310c7e546dfe434669c...)

> That's about 3% of all Ethereum mined (source: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)

> The Ethereum in the account of the attacker has a value of $41 million

> The volume is about 30% of all Ethereum trade today
