After quitting my 2nd crap job in Nov I prepared to give everything I have and build a new box, but first recorded 50+ lectures in a couple months knowing that I’d be impaired by my coming poverty (now 5mo in) and look forward to again thin

Power=Reach x Persuasiveness according to Scott Adams, a change from the old Power = Money x Willingness to do evil. By this, reach increases as a function of novelty and existing reach, if we can take fore granted that humans “like” shiny.

I got the feeling something like this was going on when collection calls became responsive to my location changes the majority of the time. Imagine having no real enjoyment in life, being working poor, and each time you do leave the house y

Precisely, even at the micro level. Coding a video platform is different than coding an analytics system. 90% of coding is research and lots of that is done without as another commenter said money+deadline, ie. not a contract. Musk surely h

DHH has been my idol for 10-15 years. His Tweets are legit too. I really should consider the Chicago scene, from Minneapolis originally but gosh do I not wanna deal with snow after a couple years on Ocean Beach/SF. The work culture her

You’re downvoted and my managers always make me look like a slacker for holding this one singular hobby/2 routines. Each one, while they are chubby and often have poor posture, fooling themselves into thinking they’re on turbo—nope. I

Good to know. Concurrent crises also F everything on paper without fam wealth, up but are less common and probably not considered. 800 credit until that, as we start talking about block chain of course. May we always be unchained in these m

I heard an interesting analysis of long term crypros, by Jeff Berwick IIRC, that BTC will become the holding coin and transactions will happen on alts. My intuition agrees, tho I hold no coins so am impartial. He is sharp generally and clai

Do it if you can. I’m 33 and took a year in 2013, can hardly reacclimate to tech work culture as it’s so sick but love building my own stuff. It’s all inspired by healthy things, and when I go back to the salary time suck my life gets miser

I agree. Between jobs the spark comes back. Shoving out and doing it solo for life now, due to reflections on circumstance changes. Not everyone must have the spark to code now that we have 0-100 code schools and stuff. I’d love a cozy job

Life gives what one gives it. Pretty appalling attitude up above. I was never more rich than when I did everything in the open.

I’ve set myself to drive down to Mozilla from SF and work on this: https://github.com/mozilla/global-sprint/issues/307 Lots of Meetups happen at the pinned library in SF so it’s likely legit. Shameless plug:

Please forgive me if off topic. I feel EDN deserves some love. Unsure if it’s lack of awareness or what. Defrecord with type hints is enough for most projects, esp. the data models. The collection types are complete and there are also comme

Right on. My definition of alcoholic shifted. I now see occasional binge drinking as legit (ie. it’s an occasion) and nightly beers are where damage comes from due to compound interest logic. It takes several days to truly recover from even

Now. When else? contracting is good for establishing boundaries, because it costs money to violate them. Price according to value of life mission opportunity cost, and have faith you’ll always have enough resources.

I don’t disagree and my closest friends have recently dropped because I hit a bump in my career and/or politics (ostrasized from offices, destroyed resume), it was pretty hurtful for a while. “Your network is your net worth,” makes me

Beautiful, sounds like my life in S. Minneapolis in 1985-2005ish. My friends who still call it home are having kids recently and they’re pretty free-range organic like this too. I’ve been thinking about forgoing a fam because of how things

You’re not alone, although we are hard to employ in the BA it feels. I feel it’s partially due to the prevalence of divide and conquer and creatives’ pattern recognition, I’ve also been pushed off a hand worth of jobs since moving here for

The equation of power is shifting from “Money and willingness to do Evil” to “Persuasiveness and reach,” according to Scott Adams. So while previously cries for help like this meant nothing and were an invitation to private torment, now the

Sounds theoretical. Salary is fixed and if there’s a supply of alternative workers and resource scarcity mentality then allowing employees free time makes them more valuable to and easier to engage by competitors. Qualatative arguments go o

Confirmed. Best results can be had by starting with the Ubuntu Mate distro which has the rpi omx and mmal optimized ffmpeg out of the box, else steps to compile exactly right were time consuming. Here’s a gif of RPi streaming through a CDN

Sounds harsh. I started a stream with a good mic and HD cam and within weeks my mannerisms were better. I’m also realizing a verbal problem I’ve always had and nobody has confronted, even dentists, despite the obvious issues (dentists, doct

CF does a good job caching, if you do a good job segmenting. Here's a screen cast I did a while back exploring HLS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9TJuWT5sNM&t=6m27s

If not centered one’ll quickly get psych issues. And if one doesn’t eat and sleep well they quickly fall off center. Best to know how to survive on basics and prioritize health, realize mind > matter. For ex. I’ve learned to eat only Hue

Did you finish high school before 2005ish? You may remember a time when 80% of the population didn’t have pizza neck, now it feels like it’s flipping. Since I lost 50lbs in 2013 (only carried for 2-3yr, BA food), there’s been much lifestyle

I like this, been thinking similar. My current ideal solution is data retention cap, something reasonable like 7 years. Next people should have archiving tools and make use of fair use. This would give realistic view of what others may arch
