I have been doing this for a year. Check my Twitter for how it’s going, same handle.

What approach did you use? I wrote a discrete event sim from scratch once and it was a good experience, simulating adding express lines to a bank for certain transactions. I can see it being overkill, or possibly a good method for tuning di

I live in SF and am charging $15/hr for Clojure exclusively. No bites yet. My budget is $1,500/mo total, $600 being food. Awe yea. I charge what the market will bear, starting at minimum wage. China is about $45 fyi, last I paid—g

I like Dia enough, but lately InkScape is what’s up. Both use file formats that could be generated from source as part of the build, as well.

Is the system able to be used privately on networks without Internet access? I think offline use is mandatory (think: RasPi LAN party in Kenya). I’m approaching this space in another way (search: “iSpooge Live”). I have an RSS/Activity

I’ve embedded Nashorn in Clojure and the environment is able to be inspected with Java development tools at runtime. Objects are able to be put into the JS context, hypothetically with native linked libraries without hastle. JS is single th

P2P might not be the best method for live streaming. I build a FLOSS live streaming platform that uses HLS, and latency via Cloudflare CDN matches Twitch. That is just a growing uncachable playlist with timestamped cachable segment files. I

This is why I prefer being homeless in the Bay Area to going anywhere else to live for cheap, as people invite me. I spent like 4 days in a nice place in GA, in a downtown without baguettes, and came right back. I can shop at organic market

I can empathize with FB leadership, not condone of course. 5 years in SF consumer ad tech turned me into a shell of a person who was coming to accept that reality is created by certain peoples’ wills, so the only lie was deviating from the

My thought is that the binary “do not manifest” decision could request delivery of a new set of similar thought forms which could then be manifest. There could be several types of thought forms that let us have the illusion that we are will

Free will in this interpretation is making binary choices to manifest thought forms or not, and consciousness would be having the machinery to interpret thought and exercise free will.

I’ll eternally plug XMPP. Openfire is good to explore features with/PoC, and there are lighter daemons to go forward with. Plenty of negativity around XMPP, I think it’s fundamentally a legacy hate for XML but we’re all good at DOM and

I joke about this. 3 years ago I was giving conference talks, now I am seemingly chronically unemployed and homeless in Silicon Valley, working odd jobs (eg. Christmas tree lot, trench digging). Jail sounds nice.

No mention of cljfmt, which I’ve used for a few years via lein plugin (‘lein cljfmt fix’).

I quit 2 jobs due to mistreatment and indeed, my old social network now sees me as a leper and I’ve been homeless for 6 months. This is what I want FU money for... never cared about having money before, thought skills and limitless attitude

Your logic counters my observations during 2 years underemployer, 52 weeks unemployed, and 25 weeks homeless... after 15+ years in good standing with the professional world (aka. with things people envied).

5 years ago this would’ve been awesome, I asked all of this to 5 employers in SF. Now in 2018 Silicon Valley we’re treated like chattle as coders/lower so I don’t see the relevance of any of these questions beyond signalling. You can b

In VC land at least I think there is a preference for cumbersome employment agreements to capture intellectual property and head off potential competition, even if unenforcable by law (simple psychological / fear). Legally programmers

My support network flew away when I lost jobs, quit jobs, and finally became homeless. They get frustrated by various things and call it being negative or difficult or similar. There’s a strong unwillingness to empathize. I realized some th

I’ve been in SF for about 7 years and became homeless in June. The #1 thing that helps me is cash in my pocket, from day labor (odd jobs) and boosters from family and friends who know I’m not a drug addict/alcoholic. Obviously the latt

I used this in a grad class. It was a progression from intuition to theory to implementation. I already had DB exp, and it aligned with the operators and index types that we found in PG 9 for the class project including batch and streaming

I can't even identify when people are black out drunk, for some reason. There's not always a slur, and I probably keep enough distance to not smell it. But I've been surprised when a half hour into conversations people have t

Most people don’t think about all the factors of waste disposal. 200,000,000/100,000/7 = 285 educated peoples’ salary for 7 years. Now thow in expenses. Doesn’t seem excessive given the multitude of issues. What’s the full dispos

What’s your basis for determing status? In my experience it massively elevated my status 15 years ago thru now, where it seems to have no effect and perhaps anchor me away from higher level jobs given the value of the output and scarcity of

I dated a girl who went to MIT at the end of high school, myself as a drop out. If not for her I’d probably not have considered education seriously. “Why would anyone go to more school?” was my attitude. She never pushed me to do anything,

My life has been destroyed by a baseless corporate accusation of misconduct. I used the bitch-word toward a woman, and the story morphed into me flying off into a drunken rage while I was out of the office for a funeral. The story stuck and

Any word about their severance packages? That’s what determines if I keep shopping there. Salary for a reasonable job search period and I can’t hold it against them.

Have boundaries and respect personal needs. Quit when needs unmet or crossed enough. Be homeless if necessary.

Git and BlockChain are both based on the Merkle tree data structure. So you could pretty easily prototype a text-based diff/merge-able schema with a single file via git, and then implement the protocol as a smart contract when you figu

Check out git-annex for inspiration... I've used it and it works with GitHub, via an extra database of objects. I have hobbyist experience with it... and I've heard of an issue system that works similar, but have not used it so ca
