I grew up poor and now live and work around "never been poor" folks. Classism 100% exists. The thing that I noticed most folks can't grasp is the appreciation for the small things and the security they have.

I find that people who have never experienced being poor are often lacking in both humility and "can do" attitudes.

For me, not being wealthy is a feature, not a bug. I realize I'm speaking from a place of privilege now, though.

dbmate user here. used it for sqlite migrations and it has been a joy to work with!

I followed the author’s IDE trajectory but only because I stopped working with C#

Having worked on both projects, I can tell you that it's more complex than what you're making it out to be.

This is not correct

There is a conflict of interest, but I wouldn't say it's 1-to-1.

It's tough because I think the "optics of productivity" are somewhat important because money is involved. If I was concerned about things, I would have pinged someone in private months ago. Taking this to a public forum, leading with an accusation isn't the right thing to do regardless of how Babel.js was handling these things.

The problem is not everyone is intermittent-fasting alongside a keto diet and using red light therapy, ashwagandha, meditating, deadlifting, and microdosing psilocybin.

Yep, I think Apple is imposing its own international standards for trademarks, which feels like over-stepping but countries often don't place nice in these business areas. There should be some formal, international way to register your trademark ... oh, right. We have that [1]

Yeah, this is certainly a gray area though. If I release an app in America — do I own that parking spot everywhere? Personally, I think not

This is one of those "bugs" that is a feature for the prisons. Of course no one wants this fixed.

Also, proof that things that are newer aren't better.

The optics of investigating the “little guy” first tells you more about how effective the SEC is and who they serve.

Prior to this whole fiasco, I was indifferent towards them — but this just seems like blatant aggression towards retail investors.

Do you remember when you could rent a physical machine somewhere and have something running in 5 minutes? We moved to something more verbose to support the new volume of the internet.

The same has happened on the front-end. I consider some front-ends, like Twitter’s, applications just as I do iOS or Android.

You can get out of this by using jQuery. It still works.

This on cue comment is quite trite, IMO.

I went through school and did just okay in CS. 12 years later, I’m much more interested in topics within CS that felt like chores for my degree.

In the context of getting a majority of job, yeah, it’s not great. In the context of being a better programmer, I think it’s worthwhile to understand the “pillars” on which you are building your “house.”

HN has an interesting dichotomy of love for all things CS and hate for anything that involves interviewing.

You are. There's a difference between medical ketosis and nutritional ketosis. It's always worth researching[1] something if you don't fully understanding it.

I'm not going to dive into the rest of your comment because it's a dumpster fire of misinformation.

edit: I also lived in Japan for two years and they are slowly becoming unhealthy due to the younger generation beginning to succumb to sugary products, i.e. the current bubble tea craze. There's also a culture of not sleeping, drinking daily, and smoking. I believe their health is due to how the country forces you to walk everywhere.

Genetics and medical complications should absolutely be deciding factors in lifestyle changes.

The notes about cholesterol and pancreatitis are, to my knowledge, not factors in people who properly follow the diet, i.e. 70% fats composed of mostly poly/mono unsaturated fats and sparing saturated (bacon, etc.). If you can cite a large scale study that demonstrates this, I would read it.

Five years in, my blood work is amazing.

Congrats on the progress! 20/4 IF'er (intermittent fasting) here.

Thought I'd offer a few of my own tricks in case anyone finds them useful:

Coffee and seltzer water get me through the more difficult hunger pangs. Doing any sort of cardio also makes me not hungry (YMMV). Pairing IF and ketosis has been great to treat hypoglycemia and not feel hungry in general.

I wasn't obese, but I was ~20lbs / 9kg overweight at one point. IF + keto has changed my body composition in a really profound way. I'm still a similar weight, but with ~10% less body fat (25% -> %15, not exact, no dexa scan).

Keep going OP!

I hope I don't need to say this, but don't do this.

Have you done this? Water fasting is something you just "do for a month" nor should you casually recommend it. I've done a three day water fast and it was rough and nearly fainted on day three.

Quick wins make for quick failures. OP has found something sustainable and doesn't need a 40kg trick.

It’s a lot better than the “Dear Github” era where nothing is released.

Also an insomniac. I’ve ran into “sleep anxiety” over the past few years which, for me, means becoming anxious when I think I’m supposed to go to bed.

Things that have helped:

- Minimum of 10K steps per day

- Weightlifting and HIIT

- 0 light in my room (windowless room)

What has helped most:

- Letting go of a rigid schedule and just letting tiredness dictate when I go to bed.

My lifestyle is a luxury I can afford because I don’t have kids. I imagine being a parent would really make dealing with insomnia much more difficult.

Why so dystopian? I actually really like the idea of a profile. Pins and recent activity don’t provide a lot of info.

I haven’t dug into this, but I wonder what compatibility this will have with window managers, like i3

The problem is ownership. Google is “stealing” or caching content for what they consider a better web.

I don’t support ads but I also don’t support Google serving a version of the page that steals money from content creators. So, therein lies the problem: choice.

I can imagine a future where amp is ubiquitous and Google begins serving ads on amp content. Luckily, companies have to make money and amp is not in most people’s or company’s best interests.

If amp was opt-in only, this would be much more ethically sound.

Titles! I think 1996 maybe helped this.

I submitted this and thought, "this is neat." Didn't expect to return to it being on the front-page nor the former webmaster to show up. The internet is a fun place.

That background story is fascinating. I wonder how many full-circles server side JavaScript has made up until now.

I became a sponsor of yours on Github today just to say, "thanks." I know it's not much, but I really do appreciate your work. Hopefully, my small donation will add up some worthwhile coffee overtime!

It would be neat to have Github, Gitlab, etc. mirrored because I've always seen issue software that doesn't directly integrate with repositories to be more work to manage than not.

I make heavy use of the `fixes #` feature on Github to auto-close issues. This adds up over one or two years when you're closing multiple issues per week.

As a person who just returned from Tokyo and sometimes plays with traditional jazz bands, I’m going to say Tokyo has a great atmosphere and thirst for jazz but rarely did I ever hear anything comparable to New York or New Orleans. It’s not lack of talent, Japanese musicians are incredibly talented. I think it’s more a lack of exposure to jazz pre-1950 or outside of the lounge genre context. It’s even hard for some professional American musicians to get because of trad jazz’s distinct feel.

Throw on Basie’s “Jive at Five” or Ory’s “Savoy Blues” and you can get an idea of the genres (swing / nola jazz).

+1, Parent comment comes off as devs owe others anything labeled “open source” but OP is not selling open source — it’s software that’s been paid for, made public.

The whole entitlement that devs and companies have around open source drives me crazy.

I noticed this is the second thread that you’ve posted this message on within the same week.

Why not include some basic, numeric pagination links before comments start? Ex:

Kuro5hin[1] was great. The blog “A coder in courier land” [2] led me to become a bike messenger for a few years during the housing market crisis (or be laid off).

It put life in perspective and eventually made me a better developer (after returning) by virtue of realizing the more work you put in, the more reward you receive.

I wish I could thank that guy for writing.
