Is that CAD or USD though? Because you're still really underpaying if it's CAD.

I live in Toronto and work for a well-known US company. It's the best.

I was inspired by this: https://www.sciencealert.com/transparent-blockchains-may-be-...

As of now, there's no easy and simple way to write messages on the Ethereum blockchain. MyEtherWallet doesn't count because it's not really something that tech-savvy non-coders can figure out.

Put in a low fee to recoup costs for hosting/domain and also to deter spamming the network. It's easy to circumvent if you know what you're doing though, so it's more of an honour-system thing.

Haha, ICO incoming.

Yeah, that was intentional. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I just want to say that it's not that you never edit. The point is just to get your thoughts down on the page first.

I used this to write my first book and it took 48 hours. And then I spent months editing it before I published it.

Thanks MrAwesomeSauce! Do let me know if you have any feedback from this :)

I found that I had the best success getting my thoughts down on the paper when I told myself not to look back and edit. So I decided to do an experiment and made a mini-webapp to do this.

In the app, you can only see the current line you are typing, and you are allowed three backspaces at a time (combinations are allowed).

There's also a visual of blurred text in the background to help you feel like you are achieving some progress.

This was just a fun experiment, but I wanted to get some feedback to see if people actually would want to use this sort of thing.

Sometimes a hello world app is just too simple and a todo app feels massively complex. I started feeling this more and more as I tried out various frameworks, so I thought I'd compile a list of increment decrement counters to demonstrate simple state handling with a bunch of frameworks.

The examples aren't perfect, but it would be great to improve them and add even more frameworks to the list.

Thanks for posting! I made this :)

This is a work in progress, but I wanted to see if there was enough demand by releasing the MVP. I still need to do the google map output and social sharing links.

The problem all started when I was on the phone with some company that needed to ship me something. It was such a pain trying to tell them my address over a bad phone connection. So I thought it'd be great if we could simply recite a short code like a zip code or postal code in order to give our exact addresses.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to create your own safe and reliable chair from scratch. I certainly don't think "most people could build one".

It seems to mean "sucking up". And I think it stands for "Dick Sucking Technique", coined by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz7TWpRXyRY

I completely agree with you. But when every single person in your life is telling you to just finish and article, it is really hard not to. I feel silly about it already, I only wish I had the balls to disregard the opinion of everyone in my life, but I really don't have it in me.

That's also why I want to move to the US, so I can get away from these risk-averse people who have my "best interest" at heart. Because they end up living my life for me, and enough is enough.

I also think people are more open to entrepreneurship in US, whereas people in Canada feel pretty comfortable with their situation.

Maybe I'm doubting myself, but I'm not ready. My programming skills have deteriorated so much. I'm also utilizing law school as a safe haven where I can try to fully grok combinators, functional programming (Haskell), and meta-programming (macros in Lisp).

Since I only aim to pass in law school, I don't go to any classes at all. It is almost exactly the same as not having school or a job. Having this kind of free time and the (temporary) lack of financial pressure is valuable and I can use it to grok more hipster things that will hopefully help me code better later on.

On another note, I am in Canada but want to move to the US. I'm thinking of building a good portfolio and then grabbing a job down in silicon valley to get into the US. I'll need time to do that, law school gives me time.

Engineer turned law student here.

I am just finishing my term as a summer associate at a top IP boutique. I deal with patents everyday and it is literally soul crushing at times.

Especially with software patents, it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever spent time on. After I get called to the bar, I am going back to my programming roots. Unfortunately, I've been rusty while attending law school and basically have to relearn everything.

That's okay though, because I'd rather do it and become an example to other people so they won't make the same mistake I did.

That right there, that's beautiful. I love list comprehensions.
