> Eisenman took his duty to create “disharmony” seriously: one Eisenman-designed house so departed from the normal concept of a house that its owners actually wrote an entire book about the difficulties they experienced trying to live in it. For example, Eisenman split the master bedroom in two so the couple could not sleep together, installed a precarious staircase without a handrail, and initially refused to include bathrooms. In his violent opposition to the very idea that a real human being might actually attempt to live (and crap, and have sex) in one of his houses, Eisenman recalls the self-important German architect from Evelyn Waugh’s novel Decline and Fall, who becomes exasperated the need to include a staircase between floors: “Why can’t the creatures stay in one place? The problem of architecture is the problem of all art: the elimination of the human element from the consideration of form. The only perfect building must be the factory, because that is built to house machines, not men.”

> He talks about creating a community where anyone is welcome to contribute.

Yes and in this case, that was exactly the problem.

> It is perfectly fine for an open source project to have the development process and the community as its raison d'être.

Conway's law is not an instruction manual.

With good green tea that has lots of it (shaded tea, but doesn't need to be gyokuro, Sencha Momiji is my favorite, cold brewed over night, then strained in a french press), I usually feel a slow but steady rise in wakefulness and around the time where I would start to get jittery (say, like when drinking a few too many cokes), it transitions over to an incredible calm mixed with a feeling of... wideness. Like your FOV is actually expanded by a few degrees, on many levels. Close your eyes and it feels like being at peace in a kind of Zen state. But... with a little buzz, very much an eager, productive peace where things line up and you can approach them.

It's probably different for different people, but I can highly recommend trying to "get some good stuff" to see whether it can do the same for you. I wouldn't want to miss it.

Demos seem to suffer from a lack of "overflow: hidden".

I just went looking myself. German Amazon has a few options. This one seems promising: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XHPXSSQ

You know what would be really neat? A different, restricted/camouflaged unlock when you make a slight facial expression that would probably go unnoticed.

> "Status"? No one cares.

I really didn't care either. Then we went on a family vacation and instead of sending pictures to everybody all the time, I put a couple on my status every other day and told people if they're interested, they can look there.

I must admit it was a fun experience watching people check them out (you can see who looks at your status) and a few fun conversations started through it. Definitely a better option than firehose blasting everybody with your vacation pictures directly. (Hardly anybody in even my extended family uses facebook, btw.)

As for swiping left: That's just the alternative mode for tab switching, swiping right gets you to "status". I agree that it doesn't need a camera tab, though.

VSL#3 has them (amongst others). Not sure whether it's the "ATCC strain 202195", though.

I found this longer video of his on the same subject to be better at explaining the nuances of his viewpoint: https://youtu.be/NV2yvI4Id9Q

I think Jordan Peterson had one of the best takes on why successful women struggle to make both a family and a career happen and why so many screech their careers to a halt when they hit 30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV2yvI4Id9Q

> Their investor called them "The Youtube of Audio"

And now, of course, (and for quite a while) YouTube is the YouTube of audio.

It should have been apparent that it was foolish to try and beat google on that turf. Google beat them easily with a simpler interface and raw performance. The biggest difference, though: The audio quality on YouTube is actually better. Nail after nail in the coffin.

That actually happened to me. Friends of mine run a business I did some low level setting up of IT and design work for. Recommended they use Dropbox for important data in a folder I shared with them. One day, I keep getting notifications from Dropbox. Temporarily disable it on my machine because it annoyed the heck out of me. A few hour later, I get the "I think we have a virus" call.

Turns out that me being annoyed means I now have a fully intact version of the data and nobody had to pay anything.

I had the same experience. It's very ironic - one of the reasons you want to be a freelancer my be to escape stupid interviews with those sort of "did you pay attention that one time in uni and remember enough of the algorithm to ace this?" puzzles. And here comes toptal asking me to do the same. When I had specified I was looking for Frontend work.

> Currently it looks like "use this design pattern because mathematics".

I've only recently gotten into FP, but to be honest, I prefer that to "use this design pattern, because design patterns", which is how things usually go, particularly in OOP. A lot of the "theory" in imperative programming seems four steps removed from the underlying theory (to the point where you can't really trace patterns to their underlying theoretical reasoning).

Sure, that often makes is easier to understand and utilize. To me, however, after 8 years of that, it's pretty sobering to start realizing just how much of your repertoire is cargo culting.

I would also argue that there is a huge difference in how the two worlds use, or even understand, design patterns. FP often puts you through the trouble of going back to basics (yes, sometimes even mathematical basics) and that can take enormous amounts of and effort. That's a level of discomfort and slowness I have come to appreciate.

"Müllheizkraftwerk", so - yes.

Of course. To always turn megaspotlights on him every time he decides to utter... anything, really, publicly isn't helping either, though.

Notch makes a bunch of early-morning tweets, these get dissected in the press with sentences ending in ", no really" and explanations of how much the toilets in his new mansion cost. And now the comments (even in here) mock him.

He has a history of mood issues and blogged about how his father killed himself due to depression. [0]

He is a human being in trouble.

You can do better, HN.

My first impulse as well. As the article states, though, they're aware of and working on it[0].

I heard some of those knowledge workers even went out into the broader industry and started highly successful businesses! I wonder how they feel about what started their careers, today...

A casual google search tells me that there are about 1k coal mines in the US. The number of oil/gas wells that use fracking seems to range somewhere between 50k and 1.1m.

More than both, he is playing with it.

GP and your comment - Exactly the thought process I go through every time I see something about Tesla. "Look Elon, you already got me, there's really no point in continuing to rub it in over and over again!"

If you follow the discussions on github, the latest consideration is to use AGPL. For a CSS library. But fear not!

> There will be a commercial license as well. [0]

Well, if he goes that far, perhaps Google or Twitter lawyers will finally put an end to this.

The main issue with bootstrap-material is that this project is afflicted by the dreaded "developer thinks he needs his own license" bug[0][1].

It's effectively CC BY-SA-NC which is rather bold when you consider that it's adopting a design framework from Google for a css framework from Twitter.

To second this with my own experience: Very many issues in angular-ui can be resolved by using angular-strap instead.

Woah, completely missed that. Then, "he's at it" captures slightly more of that meaning as well. Still incredibly hard to translate while trying to stay succinct.

I'd translate the last two lines slightly different:

  With a bag of nuts
  I'd like to be buried
  and with the freshest of teeth.
  When there is gnashing
  where I lie,
  one can surmise:
  It's him,
  still him.

> the best interview process is hiring someone as a consultant, and then converting them after a year or so

Unfortunately, this is also a "great" way to keep temp employees in constant limbo with the perm job as the carrot and stick. Usually, the temp job also leaves you with a lot less money (particularly because all the perks - insurance etc. - are reserved for proper employees) and, depending on the company, that's just all too attractive: A temp worker turning in work like a perm worker, always trying to "get there".

HHVM is the answer to the following conversation:

P1 - "PHP sucks, it's a terrible language with no proper design and no serious person would ever want to use it"

P2 - "But tons of large projects are built on it and people ship with it everyday"

P1 - "So? It's still terrible"

P2 - "What do you think is so terrible?"

P1 - "Oh lots and lots of things, I wouldn't even know where to begin"

P2 - "How about this: let's throw boatloads of cash on it for a while and see where we get."

P1 - "Oh gee, I dunno if..."

P2 - "Boatloads of cash it is.

[edit] After seeing how my comment could be seen as ridiculing HHVM: I'm a PHP dev and I'm loving every second of what they're doing. I think they're right on the money.
