I don't think a lot of things work at all. We who live in developed countries are the minority really. Most things are simply non-functional and downright ugly. Such complex systems the world has. And now apparently even the developed

The top comment on Medium is hilarious. It contains "Get off the plantation and build your own." I remember quite well what Taleb said, that to be truly free, you need to be neither a slave nor a slave owner. What good is "bu

Exactly. All this narrative talks as if working in a company is the worst thing that can happen to a person. Surely a lot of works are indeed like slavery, but you can't broadly dismiss everything in one single stroke. Sometimes ther

I simply find it ironic as hell that people demand Facebook "ban fake news" on one hand and then bash it for developing "censorship tools" on the other. Come on, what's the difference between the two at all? So what

Might just be a bit too exaggerated, especially about the comparison with taxi. I don't think Uber is great but let's be honest, the taxi system is not great in a lot of places either and taxi drivers in a lot of cases are treated

The most crucial thing for me is the inheritance of org-block face by src-blocks. Now finally I'm once again able to use fixed-width font for all codes and variable-width font for all normal notes, which greatly optimizes the reading e

Also if you currently don't plan on monetization anyways why not make it open source. This way everybody benefits. The current functionalities are way too limited. The biggest problem is the limited number of plans, which makes no sens

I've always been using Google Calendar for planning. Guess this could be an improved version of Google Calendar if everything goes well, and I'll definitely give it a try. Don't think this necessarily have much to do with pro

In that way you'd never be able to get any real work done... Planning is absolutely fundamental in keeping track of long-term tasks. Even just planning for a week helps a lot.

I pretty much doubt the graphics quality could be that nice as shown in the demo while maintaining excellent battery power. Guess the final graphics won't be that much better than PS Vita. Still, looks like a really exciting concept so

That probably depends. If the company is really small then you may end up doing quite some frontend work but there can still be significant backend logic going on in Rails.

Exactly. I just don't find the OP's idea that he tries to "spend as little time with customers as possible" and "charges the previous months just because he can" very comfortable at all. A bit too greedy-soundi

With so many exceptions and corner cases, doesn't it goes exactly against the aim of a code standard, that is to make the code rigorous and less prone to errors? The prevention of weird behaviors and corner cases is exactly the reason

I would say this is actually not something very specific to China or East Asia. People actually act like this all around the world, this is especially true in the US, where connections and background are important for a variety of things (e

I know it's somehow like a gripe here, but the attitude of the maintainer really pisses me off. Dismissing and closing the issue without even looking at it? With 17 (and potentially many more) users on StackExchange indicating they&#x2

This whole "spectrum" thing is nonsense. Classifying people in such a grossly simplified way is like dividing the brain into "left" and "right" which was only some eye-grabbing stunt which totally misses the es

This guy gets it. Spot on. I just simply don't understand all those people claiming web is a terrible mistake/fluke or whatsoever. It's nonsense. Big companies with money and might tried all over the decades, and failed. Web

Reading through all these comments, I feel there's one salient question left unanswered: What's the alternative, then, under such a divisive landscape of various OS and standards? Surely it's infeasible for the vast majority
501.
by SZJX 10y ago
What's the alternative? The division of platforms is a fact and how can you deal with it by only programming native apps? This is the best solution people have come up with. You talk as if it's all a hugr waste of time. I don&#x27

The problem with the American mass has never ever been the lack of "advanced math" or whatsoever. They're missing the point. It's the tremendous gap between elite education and "common" education, as well as th

You pay a few dollars to get your extension listed in the Chrome store or your app published in Play Market AFAIK. So by definition you are. Hell, even the customers who bought some apps in the store have a share of their money going to Goo

Sure the point of this article is about customer support offered by Google. I'd say for their core products such as AdWords, Google are treating their customers with care. It's just that they simply don't give a shit to the m

Well I'd say for their core products such as AdWords Google are treating their customers with care. It's just that they simply don't give a shit to the majority of their other products. Why would they anyways? They're an

What's the very definition of "poverty"? Having no money for even the basic necessities. By its very definition, basic income deals with that. Surely there are drug addicts etc. who would just be fucked no matter whether they

by SZJX 10y ago
You're confusing two things together. There are drug addicts who have to be saved by means in addition to financial means for basic necessities. But the majority of poor people aren't like that. It's not to say poverty can be

Well you've been quite extreme in this thread. I get your concerns, but I'd say that day is still very much far away. Libertarian lunatics like Peter Thiel certainly dream of it, but I really doubt it will become the reality, at l

I think the caveat is obvious here, that this is a method that applies to organizations with the help of a lot of formal methodologies, not individuals. For individual endeavors, it's always the right idea to start as early as possible

by SZJX 10y ago
Well yeah of course this is one way of thinking, in that if you could use the early times to do something else meaningful then why not, instead of wasting all of the time on that one single thing which might not be improved that much by all
