   A cool idea could be to do something with those collections like open up an interactive historical technology museum or something like that.

   I mean, it sounds okay to be liberated, but what if you just don't spend 50 minutes on it per day? Also, what about the argument of keeping in touch with all your high school friends and distant relatives? What about all the things I w

   Very interesting. It seems that violations of this law are probably quite often unreported and/or unenforced.

   What do you mean by this? I know for a fact that I was paid more than some H1B folks at previous companies, with equivalent titles and experience.

   I think this is spot on. A lot of companies I know that are doing layoffs are entirely hands-off developers, except maybe the occasional breaking off with a contracting company.

   True true. Thanks for the reply and explanation of your thought process.

    This seems like a silly idea to me, frankly. What makes you think any of us are qualified to decide what the best company to fund would be? See this for precedence: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/world&#x2F

    Speaking for myself, I would never ever look at that. I did upvote you though.

    It's worlds worse than what is available everywhere else outside the US.

    The REAL middle ground could be something like a small business which doesn't require insane amounts of time to run, so that you can still raise your kids. You might not make it to a billion dollars, but boo hoo.

    I know people really love Org Mode, but I completely fail to see the utility of it. I even used emacs (as a text editor!) for a while, and tried Org Mode multiple times, usually ending in confusion and frustration. Not for lack of trying! F

    What? This is literally all about landlines. A minor feature is that you can redirect the landline service to your mobile phone, which is a feature that has been included in most landline services since mobile existed.

    I'm not being hyperbolic, and I think the React ecosystem deserves a large part of the blame for this mess. I am totally aware that is an unpopular opinion. The fact that Ember can distill the insanity of the community into an opiniona

    I love Ember. It seems to be one of the only sources of sanity and reason in this community.

    I used bash-it for a long time early on. I was intimidated by switching to the unfamiliar territory of zsh, but it's a no-brainer now and I'd struggle to live without its features that I have since taken for granted.

    I hope so much that you'll find this comment in a decade and laugh about how wrong you were!

    You're right, that is definitely the worst part.

    Looks like there's a lot of manual setup to get this going. That seems to be the case for a lot of CL stuff I've seen. Clojure actually has a few Linengen packages for this stuff, Overtone is one I recall for music/sound and

    Of course, but the OP was specifically talking about the context of development.
