Looks like it's supposed to be more like HyperTalk in the browser:

> It is based on an older and somewhat obscure (today) family of programming languages that originated in HyperTalk...

My guess is that he has someone to talk to. I've found that this makes get drowsy much less likely.

The fairly awesome fantasy series Akata Witch (by Nnedi Okorafor) discusses a magical variety of these at length. Well worth a read.

It has been my experience over and over again that having a mix of engineers and business folk, does not lead to the business folk getting the engineers to do what they want. Which is why we see so many things built in Excel and Access - the business folk know what they want, but their bosses send the engineers off is some crazy other direction.

A MVP is quite often exactly what these people need to get the bosses engineers working on the right product. And often it's not enough and the business folk end up using Excel for 20 years with a string of failed products coming out of engineering.

A window is amazing! My first 3 jobs were window free as were jobs 7 and 8.

I've had 9 jobs total in the 25 years I've been working professionally and those 5 windowless jobs, account for about 5 of those years. I burn out pretty fast in the dark.

And if I could combine the flavor of a Granny Smith with the texture of a Pink Lady, I could. :)

In the US the vast majority of family docs and internists work on salary, so the benefits do not apply.

Jenny Holzer is an artist who’s work contains a lot of text and this text file is lifted from some of her work in the truisms series. It might actually be the entire text of the series.

On the other hand after asking the managers of an actively developed legacy system you might find bringing on new devs, or up new testing or integration environments is a major pain point.

That the skills to rebuild are in house - it's just that the process takes so long that bringing up a new environment stops other tasks. (The users here might say that bringing new features on line is taking too long)

In which dockerizing, at least for development, might be a very good thing.

But starting with the pain and talking to the managers and users is absolutely the right first step.

I might have been miss informed, but I was told that it’s storing your credit card details so that if you’ve already made a credit card purchase from the Tesla app you could just hit The “Pay 4000” button on that final screen. And I couldn’t find anything in this thread that confirmed or denied that, though reading things on Twitter...

The linked document claims that this is the std lib: https://github.com/denoland/deno/tree/master/std

Webflow seems to be a Wix competitor - and in spite of her mentioning it's "template showcase" in the article as example of some sort of next generation LinkedIn community replacement - it's really a place to buy templates - and I would bet that no one has ever "built an audience there" much less gotten a gig (that's not directly related to a template they sold (or gave away)).

stevehawk's reasons are not far off.

I'd add that my wife really loves the scope of practice - she does literally everything from delivering babies (w/an occasional C-section) to gerontology, from addiction medicine to ER. This just doesn't happen elsewhere.

And we like the space. The road we live on ends in a wilderness area, the hiking and X-C skiing and so on is amazing. And both us and our 6 year old love having sheep and alpacas and a dozen chickens and a greenhouse. Hobby farming like this just doesn't work in Seattle.

We miss live shows and restaurants and all the city stuff, but for now at least we like this more.

Grocery Stores closing really is happening, and really is a problem. And it's part of what's killing towns - if only because attracting new folk without one is hard.

We live in John Day, Or (pop 1700)(County pop 7200, area: about 2x Delaware), which we chose partially because of it's supermarket. The next closest supermarket is 90min away. (Walmart: 2h). Not having to commute hours for groceries is a big deal, as is being able to get vegetables of season - and in the rural west these things not a given.

When looking to relocate from Seattle to rural town in the west with hospital (wife's a doc) and broadband (for me), it soon became obvious that the quality of the food available was going to be the next most important thing on the list (and much harder than broadband). Too many places we looked had long commutes to groceries - or stores with almost no fresh food‡. Most places have no farmers markets or farm stands outside of summer, and early fall. And for us at least - living off of canned and frozen food just isn't fun (at least if we've not canned/frozen it.)

This really restricts immigration which is critical economically when your town's youth mainly move to the city as is really common. These small towns are dying a death of a thousand cuts, but loosing your grocery store is a pretty big cut.

‡ My favorite story here is once when living in a small town with 2! stores for a short while, we decided to have a dish that called for cooking some spinach. Neither had fresh spinach, nor any substitute - kale say. Neither had any frozen spinach, the second store did have canned "creamed spinach" - and an ingredients list that included both condensed milk and corn syrup. We made something else.

I’d go with summarized, perhaps with a link. That’s what you are supposed to do if an article you want to link to has a horrible (but not link-bait) title. In this case it has horrible design, it’s no so different.

I’m in the same situation, with the exact same problems.

We also found 401k's to be a problem that our payroll vendor that had helped us with all the state issues before we had a 401k, couldn’t handle (or didn’t want to handle). So we had to change everything to switch to Paychex.

Basically everything is harder than it should be, because the states all have crazy rules and are set up to deal with local companies.

Continuing

I live in the US, and sit on the the board of a governmental organization, a nonprofit corporation and an LLC.

It is incredibly obvious from this perspective that the regulations the state chooses to apply greatly constrain what it is possible for your organization to do. And this goes beyond the day to day all the way up to the mission of the org.

The state definitely has a large influence on weather organizations exists, their form and the reasons for which and methods they operate.

The state licenses corporations. Corporations exist for whatever reason their creators and the state decide on.

Once I had a half day exercise that went even further - they provided the computer, removing the internet, but also removing all of the normal module documentation, and for good measure forbidding you from using any documentation from any source.

There were a lot of compilererrors on the way to a solution for that one.

I think you might feel differently if you'd actually read the documentation as it existed 8 years ago (I've not looked at this in years).

Or talked with customer support agents for the program that who told my wife that a formal loan forgiveness application was not required, and would be a waste of time. Just meet the criteria and apply when your 10 years were up.

But what those criteria were was not described clearly enough to make 10 year plans on. And the general confusion was so massive, the program so obviously a shambles, that we decided there was little chance that the program would survive, and passed on it.

I do think that people buy new phones when they break, or become unusable. And that does seem to be 2-3 years on Android, but iPhones last longer - and with battery replacement, which this year has made very popular, they last even longer. iPhone 4,5 and 6's are still the majority of iphones in my extended family and less techy friends - and they were bought new.

Anyhow - the main reason I even commented was that people in the antique iPhone camp /regularly/ say they'll never go to Android cause the phones don't last. I really think people would like to keep their phones for as long as their laptops. And iPhones are the way to do that and that it is a selling point.

I don't know about a mass market - but I live in rural Oregon, and booking an appointment with a local tradesperson results in them showing up 4 to 6 months out - there just aren't enough of them. Sometimes you can convince someone to drive the 2-3 hours each way from one of the nearby cities - but most these guys don't relish 6 hours driving to install a fan.

So I use YouTube A Lot, and boy would I like to be able to pay someone to walk me through things. And I suspect there a a fair number of people in spots like me (if not so extreme). And I suspect there are a lot of Urban DIYers that occasionally get in over their heads and would use this service.

But quantifying this market would be hard.

I do think the ability to recreate the 3d environment, from the sensors on a device in the house would be pretty critical to this working. And the ability to show the customers in AR exactly what needs doing could be a difference that matters.

Still I'm not quitting my day job.

At my local hospital, in rural Oregon, it's all Danskos all the time. It seems that there are lots of local footwear monocultures.

Google Translate of the German court text quoted in the blog post:

The challenged search and seizure orders and confiscation orders of the district court of Munich were unlawful. As far as they were still valid, they were therefore to be lifted. Moreover, their illegality was ascertained. The applications for surrender of the confiscated objects were also to be granted in this respect. The measures can no longer be considered covered by the Code of Criminal Procedure. The investigating authorities are right to bring proceedings against the persons responsible for the calls made on the websites cited. However, the assumption made by the investigating authorities that evidence can be found during the search of the data subjects or on the confiscated data carriers is not justified in the known circumstances. There is no sufficient probability of finding relevant data. There is no evidence that those affected, their association onion friends e.V. or the grouping "Riseup Networks" belong only to the environment of unknown offenders. It is also not immediately apparent that they can find information on the perpetrator environment or the perpetrators. The only connection point is the fact that the unknown perpetrators had set up an e-mail account at "Riseup Networks". However, "Riseup Networks" offers (as intended) anonymized Internet services. The account can be set up anonymously (on recommendation). E-mail traffic via the configured account is encrypted. Therefore, there is very little chance of getting information about the perpetrators and acts via "Riseup Networks" and its database. In addition, there is the additional factor that according to the information available so far, those concerned with their association "Zwiebelfreunde e.V." can not be equated with "Riseup Networks". The link exists, as far as can be seen, only in the support of the network by collecting donations

And yet that's what the Supreme Court decided here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_v._Sims

In the past I was with an ISP that didn’t allow overages, so monthly bills were predictable. They required 1 months payment as a deposit up front and ran a credit check. The only alternative was dial up.

Just because someone isn’t giving you credit and never will doesn’t mean they won’t want your credit details. Nor that you will have leverage to refuse.

So that last 'graph got me wondering, and knowing that there are basically no plastics recycled where I live, I looked up if cling film, or polystyrene (a typical steak wrapping) could be recycled in Seatlle, and the answer is no.

In fact it looks like the answer is no most everywhere. And while cling film does degrade after decades, while polystyrene might take multiple 100,000s of years.

Which means the problem might be the steak if the wrapper is disposed responsibly, disposing responsibly is the real problem, and likely impossible.

I agree with the establishing the habit. And I think all of the steps are important - exercise, caffeine, screen time. And alarm clocks! I personally found giving up the alarm clock was the biggest thing. (Also it giving it up gave me the feeling that my quality of life improved. For the curious I wake up at 6am, when it's plenty dark, but the habit alone is enough to get me up on time.)

After the switch I found (for me) caffeine wasn't much of a problem, I can drink an after dinner espresso. And it wasn't so much the screens - with flux installed, and all the lights in the house off, I can code till about ½ an hour before bedtime.

So although the transition can be rough - you are not necessarily giving everything up permanently, just doing so to make the habit. And once the habit has stuck, you can try adding things back in.
