Agreed. I find that sometimes when I'm having a really heavy day and I look around at my incredibly fortunate existence, I then feel shitty for feeling shitty. A bad feedback loop.

This truly bums me out. Regardless of fame/money/anything the weight of existence can be really, really heavy. If you feel hopeless REACH OUT TO ANYONE. Stranger on the internet. Anything.

Are we sure it's not just a lot of people trying to complain at once? :)

(joke about they should have purchased fastlaneTM brand internet)

I wonder if this has anything to do with Final (https://getfinal.com) shipping?

Looks quite Swift-like. Seems like a big win all around for pattern matching to become more "main stream".

isn't the wise thing to do consider what WE will think as "not required" when we are old though? :)

ahh, that makes a lot more sense. :)

the ONLY one?! wow.

The email is incredibly well written and worth reading regardless of your position on the matter :)

Thanks for posting it.

Perhaps this isn't the right place for this, but I'd be interested in a broader discussion about this. What do we do about it?

Even if we see it coming a mile away, or if we wake up and look around and see it happening.. what can we do?

Go back to the web is always an option, but I don't like it. I still genuinely believe that the experience I can deliver writing software for iOS is higher quality than what I can deliver on the web.

Has anyone found a secret third option yet? :)

I write software for iOS / Mac as my day job and it's really gotten to a point where it feels like writing C# on Windows used to feel (which is not a bad thing). The big difference is that back then I could build a powerhouse PC for $1500 and have a handful of big monitors and really feel ahead of the power curve.

I don't feel like I have the option to do that these days, and I'm pretty disappointed by it. $4,000 on a laptop is my best attempt and it's still not.. quite. there.

good reminder! I was assuming they were debt free, other than their mortgage.

"Obviously kids make this harder..."

If you didn't have kids you would feel incredibly rich. You could pay off your house in five years and feel even richer.

how will you deal with abuse? scripts to just spin and mine bit coin etc. cool project!

How big/heavy is that bag? As someone that doesn't know much about this topic, that seems like an enormous amount of food!

wow.

huh?

if you have the freedom.. TRAVEL! couch surf. meet people super different than you. study their languages. invest in their problems.

eventually you'll find a new thing to do OR you'll be so excited to come back to your own thing with a ton of wisdom.

step toward your life with open arms and love it. it will love you back.

final piece of advice: this is scary, but the fear lets you know you're still in the game!*

shufflepuck cafe was uniquely wonderful, even in monochrome! :)

Absolutely not.

wait.. how much RAM? 8x16 = 128gb?

they are quite tasty.

It's almost certainly about being a nuisance to your neighbors. Roosters crow super obnoxiously. Like.. wow. If you've ever tried to sleep with one nearby you know what I'm talking about. Just handle that edge case (e.g. don't keep a rooster around) and NO ONE will care if you have chickens that don't bother anyone :) Especially if you're into sharing the eggs!

SCROLL JACK WARNING ARRGHGHHHHHGHHHHHHHH!!!!

Totally agree! I think we should build impossible to access things AND be actively political. :)

surely you agree that this puts the feds in a much tougher spot though?

I think we should try to get from a 4 to 5, even if we can't get all the way to 10 right away. We shouldn't just punt on the problem because it's not possible to have an immediately perfect solution. 4 to 5 might mean using keys that only the customer has access to. 7 through 10 might all be political, sure, but let's keep moving.

This is really, really cool! Where did you get the idea? Would you see similar results if you visualized other concurrency systems? I suppose if they were also based on the ideas of CSP? Hmm. I'd love to see visualizations like this for GCD on iOS.

very cool concept!

anyone else have any input lag?

Arch is based on binaries so you don't have to spend hours compiling. Surely Ctrl-C is going to "win" after the 4th hour of just watching X compile! :)

The scrolljacking on https://www.21.co/ is so bad. Just let me scroll through your nice looking site!
