Hopefully this will confuse her enough to stop asking for pixel perfect html/css.
But the "framework" riot.js has just one important function called "observable." It's 60 lines of code that sets up an event system. I have a similar custom event system in my projects and I do not use frameworks. It's not something people will need to Google or ask their coworkers much about. Backbone on the other hand... anyone unfamiliar with it will need to spend a significant amount of time learning it.
I don't have enough time to learn all these js framework idiosyncrasies, and learn the way a framework wants me to do things. I know how to separate data from the application code, and use events to communicate between parts of my app. That seems much simpler to me than trying to learn a framework.
Damn you Google Chrome. I thought of switching back to Firefox due to privacy concerns, but got accustomed to Chrome's dev tools. But then this happens... that might be the final straw.
I have 2 USB drives. Every month or so I put my code on a USB drive and take it to my mom's house when I do laundry. I leave the latest backup there, and take the other drive home.
Cloud providers hate me.
The only way I would ever get health insurance was if the fee for not complying was greater than the cost of paying for insurance.
Even then the worst they could do is take the fee out of my tax refund. The refund is far in the future... whereas right now I need money to pay bills, so why would I pay anything for insurance now? I'll just let them take my refund. I'm sure other part-timers will think similarly.
I was thinking of extracting the gif parsing code from this project: https://github.com/shachaf/jsgif
Then I looked at the code. I've never seen such callback hell in js without there being a server... so I abandoned that idea and was eventually planning on writing my own.
I do consider some frameworks to be exceptions though. Express is called a framework but it looks more like a library for HTTP handling to me. Most npm packages behave like libraries - maybe that's why I like using Node.js so much. Also CSS "frameworks" like Bootstrap aren't in the same league. They've never caused me the type of frustration I've had with frameworks like RoR or Angular. Bootstrap is actually a library of UI widgets. They can call it a "framework" but I don't consider it to be one.
At first "acquire users manually", then later you can automate the sexual process. I promise to apply these concepts when I go to Japan.
On a computer it can "dial" GChat, so you don't need a "real phone." I don't own a landline or a cellphone so I would know.
But I never knew you could make calls from apps. I have an iPod Touch 4, so this is going to be awesome. Now my friends might actually think I'm normal.
Can someone think of a cool name for that methodology? I don't want to be called "fat"...
It's so painless for me to open up a webpage and solve daily chess puzzles... on the other hand it seems more painful to open up an IDE and start solving code "puzzles." I wish I could visualize all the pieces of my software similar to chess.
I'm also an INTP, but apparently more evil: ICIE on Lipson-Shiu.
The one he has on his wall is $42.50 on Amazon... I think I'll print out 100 pages and tape them to my wall.
I think the source of my motivation problem is having the feeling that what I do 'Does Not Matter.' Some months I can't shake this feeling and get absolutely nothing done. Other months I feel like I can take over the world - and end up making the progress of a normal programmer.
I "want" to implement my ideas, but there's not enough feedback or incentive to "make" me do it. There's also too many options. I have 100 ideas, which should I pick? If I haven't been successful with any ideas in the past, what's the point in dedicating myself to this specific one? Does it even matter? No one noticed last week when I wasted all my time (when not at my part-time job)... why would anyone care this week?
I made a chrome extension that helps me stay on task when motivated... but what I actually need is software that can help build my motivation. Anyone know of something?
My plan is to do contract work to pay for artists. Since you don't live in the Valley and you don't have a team of ex-Googlers working with you... you either need to show off paying customers, or get ridiculous amounts of traction to have any chance of getting funding. Otherwise people might not take you seriously.
But maybe that's just my opinion, and other people have different experiences.
I am going to add this feature to a new version of my Productivity Owl: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/productivity-owl/e...
Even if a Chrome Extension isn't what you're looking for - thanks for this idea. The way my owl works is that you schedule freetime, and during non-freetime all pages have a timer, and when the timer reaches 0, the owl closes your tab. It also has a block list for time-wasting pages like reddit or HN.
Lately my problem is that I delete the owl's timer, or schedule freetime when I shouldn't to avoid doing work. I was going to implement a "Respect Score" which I'm still planning on doing - but I really like the idea of the owl recognizing my 'workarounds', and prompting me with questions about my goals, instead of just berating me. Maybe I'll let users add their own prompts.
So I think your idea is a perfect addition to my current system. I plan to have a new version in 2-3 weeks.
Like most redditors I was shocked when I couldn't use my karma to buy stake in imgur. After becoming depressed that imgur was not really a "gift", I quit reddit, and decided to found a startup. And now I'm here. So thank you for that imgur.
When I needed money I tried... I made $2-$3 per hour writing articles. Transcribing audio, doing surveys and small 5 cent tasks all paid less per hour.
If someone gives this kind of ultimatum and the employer doesn't want to give in, the employer will drag along the conversion while they start looking for a replacement. I'm sure that's a wonderful thing for this CEO... he'll find a replacement, get the naive employee to train the new guy in his role, and then fire him first chance he gets. WIN-WIN for the CEO, huh? Well fuck that.
It should include what type of roles you can do as a founder, which roles your future co-founder should fulfill, and your location. Also a general description of your idea, what you've built so far, and your technology stack.
Personally I don't mind working solo on my startup - but if there was a thread like that I'd post to it to see if someone could complement my skills.
For example I made a "Yo Bama Bama" shirt that had custom art of Obama wearing a Yo Gabba Gabba hat with various phrases... that was taken down.
Custom artwork of video game characters saying stupid things... always taken down. Anything that referenced some sci-fi movie or TV show was always taken down. I'm surprised the NSA even had to complain. Zazzle preemptively stifles free speech when it's obvious it's a parody before anyone complains. Zazzle is so bad about this - I don't use them for anything anymore.
I wouldn't sell my baby for that.
If it's not a laundry robot, I'm horribly unimpressed.
A lot of MRA groups seem to fight the hate with more hate... maybe these guys just need a change of scenery.
Hey Central - we have another "Alzheimer's patient" who has driven out of his low-class zone to a more affluent one... send a squad car over to help "remind him" of his place.
