[edit] I think I found and fixed the issue. Thanks for mentioning it.
Yes, working on having a better landing page for sure. I just pushed a small update to clean it up a bit. Been trying to get some design help though.
I like the idea of a default entry. I may have to play around with that.
Personally I haven't had as many issues as described in the article e.g. Preview has always worked fine for me.
However the biggest issue I do have is anything network related. Getting new messages in Mail is terribly slow, iTunes constantly gives me an error then loads the album or whatever just fine afterwards.
Yeah, I mean I know it's cheaper to have some perks to make it look like you care, but honestly shorter days and decent pay is more than enough.
I'm also not saying it was right for Tesla to ban him, that was shitty, but getting so angry over a late start and ranting about it in a blog post directed at Elon also wasn't a great choice.
They don't show any data to back up this claim that they make throughout the story. IMO part of the problem is that the speed limits are far too low for modern vehicles. They keep them low so they can continue to collect.
It's not about safety it's about money. How is going around with plate readers making anyone safer? Unless they were using that technology to find a fugitive, but they're not they're using it to collect.
The asset pipeline in rails use to cause some issues but I think that has all been resolved with the 12 factor gem.
Also setting up a VPS is in no way easier than Heroku. You have to install nginx, ruby, mysql etc. Then you have to setup routing. Then you have to learn all sorts of sysadmin stuff so you don't get hacked. Setting firewall permissions, mysql permissions. Then you want to deploy that app. So you have to setup capistrano or whatever. Next thing you know day wasted.
Heroku?
git push heroku masterNot crazy about this suggestion. It's not always that easy to just take a few days off from your current job just to interview for another. Even if you're getting paid.
What? How?
The problem is a few things:
1) We encourage people to be overweight. You see all the time on facebook and advertising "Fat is beautiful" or "You're perfect the way you are". Sure be happy with yourself but that doesn't mean you're healthy.
2) The food we eat with out even thinking are full of empty calories. Snack food, soda, etc. All lead to over eating, filling unsatisfied which leads to more eating.
3) Everyone is so "busy" with everything in their lives that can't imagine spending 30 minutes to an hour at the gym every other day. Cut out an hour of TV, Leave work a little earlier (you're probably over working) and do some good for yourself.
4) These fad diets, fake pills and other bullshit don't work. People want something that works instantly. Doesn't work, you need to put in the effort.
You can blame genetics or whatever you want, but unless you really try and give it 100% you won't see results. Yes, it will take longer than a couple days.
