Yeah unfortunately here we use the drug laws to effectively reintroduce slavery. Its legal under US law to use prisoners as slave labor. As we used to say in the 90s people in the 'hood don't have planes. By the 2000s rather than

Los Angeles is too big for that over the entire area but parts of LA like North Hollywood could become an opportunity to setup a microwave wireless ISP that covers an entire neighborhood in LA like North Hollywood or Santa Monica.

I'm using vue, I found while the learning curve is higher than react it was a better choice than react if only because they don't introduce breaking changes into vue so what you write today will not suddenly be painfully out of sy

If you're a developer you could build a smoking linux development box from a intel NUC for under $500.

Also the condom law further fragmented the industry just when tube sites were hitting. DVD sales plunged from 150k average per release to 15k in sales no industry call handle a 90% plunge in income. The tube sites are run from Germany so yo

Even though this only works in chrome its a terrific example of just how creative you can get with the webrtc data channel api.

Its too bad Apple and MS are not implementing webmidi for ios safari and edge. There is an empty placeholder for webmidi on the firefox project so at some point webmidi will find its way into firefox. Its ironic that an ipad pro is such a p

Yeah the irony is that most people are attracted to music because they are narcissists. The professionals I've met are very humble and grateful to have had a chance to get paid to have fun even if it's a lot of work the successful

It sounds aweful but I'm talking advantage of the relatively awesome access to information we have today to slowly get myself into indie hacking and building my own products for a particular niche I have found. That means even more wor

The life of an engineer is a life if sacrifice and 7 days a week work for five days pay. Often you never have a partner so you're the most highly taxed people in the country especially in California. While you often work triple time yo

Yeah exactly it's just a way to acquire initial crypto to move elsewhere for trading it's just a money exchange at it's core not the crypto equivalent of a day trader platform.

Its not even going to turn out THAT nice. The new tax cuts assume that the poor will always be working, but between the loss of net neutrality and the automation of driving jobs we're looking at the loss of 95% of male work within the

Yeah considering how few companies go public compared to the 90s this is largely a scam to normalize unpaid overtime. When you have to work 100 hours to get paid for 40 how is the economy supposed to grow? Back when most jobs were unionized

I've been using csound as the audio engine for my Android apps but I'm looking at Faust for my new one because csound has a fairly limiting library in terms of where and how events need to be attached. With Faust I can place it in

The Republicans have been so skilled at digital jerrymandering that we have digital technology delivering us a single party state. Only mass voter outrage will be enough to overcome a decade of very effective data driven jerrymandering.

The thing is protest has been criminalized. The people who protested Trump's inauguration are facing what amounts to life in federal prison. Yes there was one car damaged but the Nazis who's protest lead to the death of that young

I've seen this tried but what tends to happen is you have the "tech lead" become a project dictator, in my experience its horrible. Agile actually works, unless you have equal input on a project and are treated as a peer gene

There is a project TrueBit is working on for ocaml and wasm integration.

It's exciting to see things like this come to Linux, Ubuntu studio out performs windows 10 by a wide margin so it's great to be able to play with this outside the os duopoly where usually only Mac and windows are supported.

I get clowned sometimes for using emacs but this is a great example of why using a "long in the tooth" editor can be an advantage.

As an engineer my salary is frozen in 1998, technical salaries have been effectively frozen so long that my salary thinks Biggie and Tupac are still the big thing. It doesn't matter how rare the technical skills there's a hard cei

Wow as an engineer with a master's degree in LA you top out at around 100k which after taxes leaves you with barely enough to make rent. Can't be a housing boom here the locals are being displaced at lightening speed. I have 20 y

No matter what system you use for server rendered pages most likely you will have to hit a database just to render out the site. These days that's a bad idea when we should be building progressive web apps that can fetch and cache cont

Yeah for software engineers, scientists, 3D animators and web developers linux on the desktop is arguably superior but for typical office users its a train wreck unless they are using emacs org mode, which requires a significant investment

This is not the case when you suffer major 3rd degree burns. When you need morphine in the case of say regrowing nerve endings in a damanged limb advil will not cut it, not even medical cannabis will cut it, there are still cases where givi

Its almost comical to watch Trump threatening all these wars when at the end of the day social inequality is so bad that effectively there is no one to draft. The typical cannon fodder of yore have been so beat down they would last 15 minut

Yeah as somebody who was a personal shopper before the internet getting requested items can be really tricky there is no guarantee they won't run out of something there is no Ralfs API to plug into to give real-time inventory informati
