Genuinely curious about any opinions on how to handle this. I've personally set outline: 0 because I can't stand the blue glow that Chrome puts on.

Is there a way to have good keyboard support & have it look good?

Odd, I find the concept of high self-control to _include_ the ability to exercise no-mind at will. That is, high self-control is not limited to exercising control of your "rational" (System 2), but rather involves a Zen-like perspective over System 1 & System 2. No mind is both, yet neither.

I've had what seems like my greatest awakening this past week. Practice gets you somewhere, but I can't authoritatively say "where" is. Like some other commenter mentioned, I've found myself in an intentioned mushin [0] state.

This morning I was off the wagon a bit, but now I'm back. Can't wait to see what I accomplish with this focus ;)

One more agree-er for the bunch ;-)

I love the feeling you're describing! The understanding of an abstraction (or in other words, a mental model) that links two parallel thought processes in an unexpected, and fun way.

I like the term Kensho [0], thought you might too. Interested in thoughts from other people as well.

I read an article on SlateStarCodex that talked about how a local decision could not take into account the obvious global decision, i.e. it expanded on Game Theory by detailing how the omniscient decision isn't possible from a first-person perspective.

P.S. If anyone can help me find it, I'd appreciate it. I last spent an hour trying to find it :P

I've built major crawling infrastructure at [#paid](http://hashtagpaid.com) with Elixir.

My anecdatum. :)

What’s this path you’re talking about? Is it fasting as a means of rebooting your system?

I read this a couple days ago, and found it clearly written.

no need to be aggressive dude, op was just askin'

It absolutely is, but it depends on where you're coming from.

You have to work to cultivate those actions to be genuine. I've been following the Buddhism path, and it's helped me become more genuine.

Source: Read that book this year. Thought about the same thing.

I have a theory about stoicism in the past vs. stoicism in the present. Keep in mind that I say this all from a very North American point of view (born in Iran, but grew up in Canada).

In the past, there was no guard against disease. If it came, you were done for. There were some limited options available when it came to medicine, but by and large, if you got a disease, that was it. It was out of your hands, and even if you wanted to, you couldn't do anything.

In the present, there are a lot of solutions that can be solved with enough access to capital. It's possible now, not impossible as it was prior, to cure yourself of certain ailments, if only you live in the right place, have the right amount of money (or social security), etc. To a certain degree, living in a particular place and access to capital can be a matter of personal choice. A lot of the time, not enough to get you the treatment you need, but enough to give you the sense of having some measure of control.

Having a measure of control but being powerless is new to modern life.

That's what I think, at least. What does HN think?

Industrial Society and it's Future really hit home for me a month ago when I first came across it. I feel you.

I actually quite like their flow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure about how well it answers the question, but it's definitely light and entertaining to read :)

Reading this reminds me of the Clojure style of code... anyone else?

I came to understand it as users of the app willing to put a price on their visual attention, giving advertisers the ability to bid on users' attention based on the users' own tolerances, and then it all becoming an ad bidding network.

Except the marketers would pay you money (I guess, the coin) to show you the adds, and not say, a TV network.

I'd probably put a high price to my attention — $5 per second. If I get an ad maybe someone messed up, but I get paid dearly. A lot of people I imagine would be down to get paid some fraction of a cent per view, probably seeing more ads, but also probably making enough revenue for a handful of coffees every month.

Here the blockchain is the distribution network.

I for one was really pleasantly surprised to be reading this great article — from Buzzfeed of all places!

I second this! But also because an audio recording is more personal information to go off of.

I'm simultaneously traveling through On Becoming A Person by Carl Rogers and my psyche. Wonderful read, and furthers some of the ideas I've picked up in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and a couple other books I've read over the past year...

Yeah, in Canada Kalamata olives can be found in glasses (but black olives are in cans)

Weekend rankings are a different beast, my friend.

That was a feel. I never thought of the idea of embedding it. Thanks for teaching me more!

I feel like the niche Caddy's trying to fill is for people who don't want to bother with that, or don't want to learn. If you already know how to set up nginx and LE (like you and I do), its only appeal is relatively minor: potentially saving a quarter or half hour.

Can we change the URL to https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/14/better-batter... ? It's got technical details for us technical types :)

I attended Bitmaker Labs' 7th Web Development Intensive cohort (June 2014–August 2014) in Toronto.

I walked in knowing AngularJS and a basic level of Ruby/Rails (self-taught for both), whereas most of my classmates had either gone through the prework (very basic HTML, CSS, JS and Ruby) or were computer science grads (worked with Java, maybe C). I was ahead of the curb going in.

And that was the way things stayed. I stayed ahead because although the coursework was not designed for my level of knowledge, it helped a lot with filling in the holes of my knowledge. Also, the exposure and immersion and the side projects I did by myself led to many more 'a-ha' moments.

As for the instructors, all of them were super helpful, but they might not be very approachable early-on (the first 2 weeks or so). Depending on the kind of student you are, you'll either spend the majority of your time with the instructor learning or troubleshooting.

I echo @notjustanymike's thoughts: Bootcamp learning is only skin deep. If you go in with a lot of background knowledge you'll deepen your knowledge. If you wait a couple of months afterwards you'll deepen your knowledge. Really try to get a sense of how things work.

During the bootcamp I landed a fun gig at a local startup. Part time, not that good of a pay ($15/hour). I wasn't in the market for a job, but had I been I definitely could have gotten into the $60-$75k in Toronto.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know.

You're right. Removing the claim of compliance until I've devised a solution.

The previous commit (probably) failed at that. However, with the latest commit, parsing that malformatted CSV returns:

    [
      ["x","x\"","","x"],
      ["x","x"],
      ["y","","","",123]
    ]

I can't see anything wrong with it. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the feedback on the docs. Working on them now.

As for overriding the header, I think its possible utility offsets the ~3 LoC that it adds. Coming next commit.

I had some inspiration from PapaParse, which is why I went with a returned object.

However, after reading your comment, remembering how Ruby does it, and some thought, I decided to default to a returned array but provide the option for a more 'detailed' response.

It was actually your library that inspired me :).

My reason for making this was a mix of "hey let's try making this", let me make something even shorter and (hopefully) sweeter, and "no jQuery".
