Using cash is throwing away money. I get up to 6% back on some transactions. Not to mention the ability to chargeback if necessary.

I don't consider those things to be work, though. I make things because I like to, and because making public domain work available improves the world.

I'm pretty sure that you can already do all of this. I can't currently find the option to entirely de-list from search, but I thought I had it on before.

Oh, for fuck's sake. For one thing, I'm talking about the people that are posting things on Github, and Github itself is just an example. You can replace it with "a personal website on a server in your living room" if

Why is the "independent web" in all of these articles exclusively referring to people trying to make money with ads? I make software and put it on the web for free. There are millions of Github repositories like this, are they not

Or they could just modularize into frameworks and use Carthage? But, whatever, rewrite Xcode I guess.

Yeah, the difference between Facebook and Instagram or Twitter is incremental . They basically do the same stuff, Facebook does a little bit more (although, they entirely removed direct messages). Why is the Facebook app so huge?

> For example, functional programming that copies an entire data structure every time you make a minor change or append is a real waste of the power of that paradigm. What do you mean by this? In the implementation, yes, is a poor optimi

Well, for example, try/catch don't work asynchronously, so you can't pass it to a callback (or use it in a SignalProducer in RAC). If failure/success is Just Another Value, it works everywhere that values work. That they

What is unethical about choosing which software to use to interpret an HTTP response in a manner of your choice? Is Lynx unethical now? Or disabling Flash? If you don't want to show content... don't return a 2XX.

Swift 2 is fantastic except (har har) for exceptions. Optional<T> has been hanging out, monad-y and all, since v1. Why not Result<T, E>? You can't flatMap exceptions, and the Swift 2 implementation even throws away type d

I don't think I can quit until next year, due to the "job hopper" label - I've only been here for six months. My health has definitely taken a downhill turn... before I was at the gym 3/4 times a week, plus bike rid

Unfortunately, my priority is surviving until a year at this place is up, so that I can quit without potentially being labeled a job hopper. I don't want to damage my career permanently.

How are you supposed to find time to exercise when you're working 10-12 hours a day? I can barely find time to clean my apartment. And if you're not (can I have your job?), you're probably less likely to be burning out.
