It's not Amazons fault that consumers purchase things they don't need or can't really afford. I really dislike how everything is always someone's else fault. I'm fat because Mc'ds made me that way. I am broke because the evil corporations keep making me buy stuff.

If you want to live a minimal life (and you really should) more power to you but if the smiths wont to live pay check to pay check drowning in debt that's their problem.

I am not trying to come off argumentative to your statement but business offer services that people want. If they don't they go out of business. Responsibility is SOLELY on the individual not the people offering good's and services.

OBVIOUSLY i am talking about business acting in a lawful manner and only talking about discretionary spending.

Well they could made an announcement or email their user base letting them know of the breaking change.

Just want to point out since you mentioned it that turbogears is still out there, maintained, new releases, and a great framework.

I was trying to be funny but the point i was making is that "i'll fix this later" just leads to a ton of technical debt that usually doesn't get fixed.

In this one specific example being paralyzed about naming something is silly.

"I'd say roll with whatever name comes first, as you can always change it later. Dwelling too much with it can be a sign of perfectionism.... or procrastination, or ADD.... or just in-experience."

-- I will take "things i will never do" for a 100 Alex.

This is dangerous though because then the reaction is always "oh well yeah they must have been redisposed" with no real evidence other than hear say. It was a side effect, a bad one, that requires more study. This thinking though will lead to "I am fine this won't happen to me" and it could and people should know that.

Agreed. Seems like its a commodity to be traded, a black market currency for criminal activity (i am not bothered by this), a currency for countries that need a way to buy goods outside there normal means. All the currency aspects are really cool especially as a means of freedom BUT its value is 100% based on speculation and trading not because of real value.

It is cool and i am not hating on it and people are getting rich from it but it's value isn't because all of a sudden average people are using it to buy groceries or pay their bills.

It was supposed to be a currency it's a commodity.

"I have at least briefly looked at a number of them."

So you are wanting to build a new init system from scratch and you haven't taken the time to see all the stuff that already exists? I mean if this is just a project you want to do go for it but if you are seriously trying to build something for others you know whats out there and why people choose one over the other beyond just systemd and sys V.

I am. Before meditation i was never present my head was in a million different places. I could be having dinner with my family but really i was solving a coding problem, thinking about an interaction i had at work, recalling <horrible thing i did when i was 6). It was hard the first week i used the headspace app and started at 10 minutes a day, got up to 30 minutes using the app but could never keep up with a daily habit. 15 minutes seemed to be the magic number for me. It was long enough to help and short enough that i was able to incorporate it daily.

I think that's a mostly fair assessment however by reducing supply you have the side effect of making addictions worse. You had people that may have had physical dependency but not addiction who were 100% functional, living lives having the carpet ripped out from under them and having to deal with physical withdrawal.

I agree with you but i don't think anyone would argue that like always when the government gets involved we over corrected.

Not to hard to understand, i think, its bureaucracy, incremental changes and not dealing with the technical debt from the changes, having a farm of coders that just need to check off the that requirements were met.

Now add a continuous stream of revenue and the only people that notice or care are technically oriented people.

Not to be that guy be decriminalizing and offering alternatives and open treatment with out stigma would allow the free market to help this.

The government going ohs nose we have a prescription drug problem lean hard on the doctors and suppliers just drove normal people that were given bad advice and developed addiction because of injuries and the wrong treatments into the black market were the only affordable alternative for many was heroin.

It was accurate its not like the entire article was white shamming and the points were true.

I had huge issues falling asleep. I was unable to fall asleep before 1am and had to get up at 6am. So Monday - Friday was a downward spiral of sleep debt and all of stresses that come with that.

I eliminated blue light (mostly) after 8:00 and it help slightly but within the margin of error.

I then added 15 minutes of mindfulness meditation everyday at lunch. Nothing wooy just mindfulness.

Within 2 weeks i was naturally getting tired around 10:00 and able to fall asleep in less than five minutes.

Quit meditating (because its a pia to find the time, it shouldnt' be but it is) and sleep problems returned.

I didn't even attribute my sleep improvement to the daily practice until i noticed my sleep was all messed up again.

It works and its just 15 minutes. People's millage may very but it was life changing for me.

> Who do you expect will fund these treatment programs?

Well hypothetically there is a ton of money being spent on the war on drugs if drugs were legal that money or even a small portion of it could do wonders for treatment programs.

Yeah it doesn't make sense makes it even more suspect. It's 2017 everyone knows this is a lawsuit waiting to happen and for a company to open themselves up to a lawsuit that they would HAVE to know is going to be coming seems suspect.

I don't know enough to have an opinion one way or the other but if any company behaves like this the deserve to be sued out of business and should be fined for stupidity.

As soon as one machine is infected it will use windows shares to infect any other machine on the network that is vulnerable, without those users needing to do anything wrong. If you're un-patched anyone on the network gets infected you are infected.

HTH

Google has a ton of competition across all of its products. It's dominating in some of them but being better then your competition is a lot different then there not being any.

Any sources, i am not trying to call you out but would like to read any hard science on this. Also just because cannabis might not be the super drug everyone wants it to be doesn't mean its anti-drug.

Yeah i read the article and missed the images or maybe a read it to quick.

As others have said go do something else if that can happen then switch domains and work on something you consider fun either because you like the domain or the challenge.

Trying to push through with coding doesn't work.

Another trick would be to step out of the editor and hit the white board while on your feet. Programming isn't typing and if you are trying to figure out a problem at the keyboard theres a good chance you already failed (unless your learning the language). Get it on paper/chalk/whiteboard and reason about it, talk about it with someone or a rubber duck.

You're absolutely right but it still sucks. She has a great attitude about it but if i am honest and this kind of thing happened to me i would be seriously pissed, at myself more then anyone else.

Yes knowing what side of the road to drive on and understanding driving laws and being able to spend the currency you already have are indeed features.

your use of the contraction like this broke me. i had to read it 4 times before it "worked".

Where does he find the games? I would love to do this i was just a small kid in the 80's and remember these games fondly. Take a swing at them knows seems appealing. How do you even go about getting the games and how do you emulate the environments correctly, my current laptop is missing the turbo button :)

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Click update now. This tool will let you install it without waiting inline (assuming you don't have the option from the built in windows 10 update tool)

It's alpha meaning the API will change most likely just be aware to check release notes as breaking changes are expected to happen.

What other lighter solutions are you using?

Lull in productivity, bad developers would suddenly stick out and either learn to "learn" or be replaced and productivity/quality would improve. It's all prospective :)
