Maybe that is the case for some, but I think your argument misses a large percentage of the workforce, which is, the part that is already married and / or has kids.

The point was that, given the NHS, the health benefits issue is probably, for good reason, not something I would expect the author to consider in their summary of dad jobs.

Yes, I almost expanded further on the healthcare point for that reason, but then realized the author seems as if they are possibly writing from the UK.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this sentence: "A few of years ago, Gallup found that what most people wanted, all over the world, was a secure full-time job. That, after all, is the way most people get enough money to live on."

But then backtrack here and miss the point "A lot of us, men and women, grew up thinking of male full-time jobs as real jobs. It’s no wonder that many find the decline of the dad job so unsettling."

I don't think it's 'realness', whatever that means, that matters. It is the benefits like healthcare, ability to afford a place to live, education, and further the social and mental health benefit of working in proximity with people with similar interests and abilities.

Minor Feedback: I think part of the point of private hosting is privacy / security. Maybe some info on the landing page or documentation about what kind of security is provided would help people decide whether to use it. Also your npm package could use an actual module rather than just cli tool

I should add Linode to that.. didn't realize they have a $5 instance, having never used them.

I have essentially the same tutorial on my readme here: https://github.com/divbit/grimoire except I've included a step where Ubuntu uncomplicated firewall is setup. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on other basic security measures that should be taken for a private git repo?

Thanks for the links - helpful to put things in context.

It would be nice to see a timeline of this guys life correlated to his writings. If the writings are isolated, that's one thing. If they occur after being kicked down a well with a "this is SPARTA!!" then that is something else. Perhaps similarly, no one calls Caesar a misanthrope for 'et tu Brute?'

Wow - good job. Literally people (myself included) were commenting this morning in the saving twitter thread about how something like this is really needed.

Huh. TIL.

That would also require purchasing a TV I guess.

I want to watch the superbowl from twitter: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/technology/with-nfl-deal-... I have no idea how to watch the superbowl and I tried several apps. I had cable tv for like 1 year of highschool, and haven't felt any reason to purchase for myself since, but some things, like the superbowl / Olympics / World Cup etc. would be really great to be able to watch - no I'm not going to deal with cable / buying a TV just for 1-3 events yearly.

Ah ok, went back and read the article. Similar sentiment.

I didn't read the article, nor watch the oscars, but think about it this way: the universe is billions of years old. In a couple hundred years or so, a human life could probably be simulated convincingly in a short time frame. (Especially if the rate of technology improvement accelerates greatly with the help of AI, which I can't see any reason it wouldn't). The odds that a human is born just before we have the technology to build a simulation that could conceivably fool us, and be computed in a relatively short time frame, seem fairly small.

Imagine how many more human lives could be simulated once such a singularity occurs than have previously existed in the realverse. Going into the future, if there is some reason to simulate human lives in great quantity, or just never-endingly (perhaps as some sort of living wikipedia entry), then simulated lives could outnumber 'real' (pre-singularity) human lives many times over.

So, given a machine / AI culture stretching on infinitely into the future, continuously simulating human lives for some reason, the chance that a person is born one of the 'real' unsimulated lives would be vanishingly small in these circumstances. So, whether or not one can find a 'glitch in the matrix,' which reveals whether or not we are actually in a simulation, it seems that one could imagine an infinite future of humans, with real humans (who may be completely unlike us) only occurring with vanishing measure. So in some (plausible?) futures we are almost certainly simulated...

>there are other people I can call on, and they will answer. I may be on point, but I’m not alone

that sounds really nice

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to make a kickass acronym.

Yeah definitely- also seems to hold up in the rain outside. I have no idea about the camera button- my previous phone was a nokia windows phone which also had that, so I just assumed it was a standard thing for phones these days.

Seconded - I have the x-compact, which I mainly bought for dev stuff, but have ended up really liking it. It's nice and small, battery is pretty decent, and camera is very good.

There should be two parts: part 1. Gather as many facts as possible part 2. Separate the wheat facts from the chaff(sp?) facts in relation to whatever problem you are working on

There is a nice clean implementation in tweetnacl - while we are at it, commits could be signed with eddsa (or xeddsa/vxeddsa, though I don't know if those have compact libraries?)

Take the first 32 bytes of Sha512 if the extra bytes isare too annoying. This also gives you an extra 32 bytes to use for something like .. ?

I guess it might be better to disable the api key...

Let me know if you want to help- Ive just forked a couple repos and started writing out some notes

Sometimes I can't even tell when I'm being sarcastic

So good timing to have just started working on a sha3 version of git I guess...

Eh, I'm sure many people copy and paste from Stack Overflow. (Not me ofc, I would never:) )

So I guess we are all out of jobs in a couple years...

Figured out a better organizational method for using it as a blog: https://github.com/divbit/blog

Also useful for github as a CMS / blog: https://github.com/divbit/grimoire-public/tree/master/blog/f...

I posted this once before but has been updated quite a bit since then. Would appreciate some feedback on the direction it's heading.
