As a person who has worked at many startup, I get it, "shipping" features is important.

As an engineer working at many startups, this is a sad and painful reality of working under product driven ideas and "first to market" type things- basically anything that doesn't (usually) involve life or death, or federal regulation is rushed out the door when it can be.

As a user, I absolutely 100% hate this mentality. You skip features you don't consider necessary, do things in ways that make them difficult to return to later and throw it in the "technical debt" pile.

I am happy they were found, but I often wonder if I would live out my "Castaway on the Moon" fantasy or make a giant SOS if I found myself in this predicament.

I've been around astrology my whole life, as my mother was very much into it. I've always viewed it as a fun & convenient way to explain something that has or needs no explanation. I'm not personally into it, but I am surrounded by those who are. I just view it as a religion at this point.

Companies who were the butt-in-seat type most likely didn't have a sudden realization that WFH and telecommuting was productive, most likely they want you back in the office but they just don't want to do the required work to transform the office into a safe environment.

I drew a frog and it was recognized as a cactus, then made a more elaborate frog and it was also a cactus. The penis I drew was recognized as an octopus, it seems to make the guess very early on in the drawing process.

Tips for best results: no teeth, no beards, no dark skin, looking directly at the camera tends to make one of the eyes perfect and the other wonky.

I feel like this should take spam and bots into account. I run a wiki and most edits are by bots that I rollback. I don't add captcha to not further dissuade people from contributing.

Love it! A MIDI export would make this really fun to experiment with.

I've noticed VSCode at least also learns types and structures from JSDoc in raw / vanilla JavaScript.

An interesting side effect I've seen with FLAC vinyl rips is an interesting type of noise removal on the "karaoke" tracks.

I have tried many options, and https://phonicmind.com/ has had the best results.

Having been there, I would say the feeling of being "fancy" while ordering, but needing to order cheap without needing to tip and pay for delivery. For something so cheap and so little expendable cash, the delivery cost is high.

I've also noticed more affluent people not tipping when hanging out with them for rides or food delivery, while people in the industry do absolutely tip.

The added benefit in Belltown is like walking by a Subway restaurant pumping out delicious smells, except they pass you with delicious smells.

I bought and shared the "Space Funky B.O.B." source code (included in that collection) and the "Super Noah's Ark 3D" source code (not in that collection). Both came from 3.5" diskettes on eBay. Both are for the Super Nintendo / Super Famicom system.

Space Funky B.O.B. is interesting due to the amount of swearing in the comments of the source code.

Super Noah's Ark 3D is notable for many reasons. It is an unlicensed Christian game that used a pass through style cartridge. It is based on the Wolfenstein 3D engine, and actually included some emails from John Carmack and Rebecca Heineman from back in the day. A delightful insight into software development decades ago.

I have coworkers who are lucky in this regard. Their particular situation affords them the opportunity to live in Magnolia and takes the commuter buses which are always packed with people in the morning and evenings; these are typically commuter buses which don't run during the rest of the regular bus active times. Plenty of lunch walks and 1-on-1 walks around the city and nothing unfortunate has every happened to them, though they have seen the occasional needle and poop trail. Most of downtown is fine, the gradation of sadness increases as you walk towards Pioneer Square. The often under walked areas are the real areas of concern.

When working by the viaduct and Ferry Terminal our build slept a large number of people in the evenings on the sidewalk. One instance in particular stands out- someone had taken a shit into a 7/11 tall plastic cup, and I can only assume mixed it with some liquid adhesive, then flung the shit into a huge splatter against the sidewalk under the metal stairs down from the walking bridge. It stayed for quite a while, as the incentive to clean it up had passed- the building was being emptied to be demolished and security and other services had been stopped. But don't think this was a lone incident, as the back of the building would resemble the trope of the underside of a desk with boogers, except someone (or some group of people) were throwing shit (literally) against the back of the building.

I work in downtown Seattle and the people I see affected by the aggressive homeless folks are those who don't know who they are- people visiting or new to downtown. I know which homeless folks are dangerous from experience and which ones are just panhandling. I've personally been spit at, spit on, attacked with a 2x2x18 piece of wood, and had a brick thrown at me (with surprising force), charged at, sexually assaulted (physically), the list goes on.

I've observed the end result of panhandling in various situations: there are the "my family needs help" folks who beg with kids in strollers and at the end of the day get back into their cars in the Target parking lot; there are the folks crying on the street begging for any money to get food, but don't want food directly even if you've already bought it for them with no strings attached; there are also the rare case of someone who was just mugged now trying to get on the bus.

The end result is any compassion I had has been slowly whittled away. Actively avoiding human shit or fresh vomit every morning on the sidewalks and keeping an eye out for needles everywhere (watch where you sit on the bus) really just leaves you tired and unsympathetic.

Pro Tips: avoid 3rd & Pine / Pike, avoid all of 2nd Ave. in general; avoid parks and downtown after dark; do not touch the needles unless you have to (bus seats); do not go into tall grassy or ground obscured areas as there may be needles; avoid the park beaches as they are toilets for the homeless early in the morning (4-6am).

The left out the release that had 3 distinct jQuery versions bundled in the app.

The company https://www.zellepay.com/ does just this, but I have never used it personally.

If in the US, this is possible and depending on the bank there is no fee. You will need: 'Account ownership' is it yours or someone else, 'Account type' personal/business & checking/savings, 'Account use' paying / transfers, 'Account number', and 'Routing number'.

I've personally used FullStory.com to debug some especially spurious bugs in many a browser. I do with it was opt-in only but I haven't seen such a system.

I would gladly donate my DNA to be tested to find criminals. I signed up to 23andMe years ago just for fun, but if that data can be used to help someone who was hurt by someone genetically related to me, I am all for it.

Reading the reactions here makes me feel crazy, as if their intention is to make me feel manipulated or otherwise bad. It is really interesting to me how many people are fearful of dystopian futures that could play out instead of excited to actually potentially help identify a serial killer.

For as long as I can recall, the CSS linting tools I have used always warn when defining one and not the other, so it just became a habit for me.

One of my favorite software jobs was working on an in-store UI for creating custom apparel, not because of the software stack but because I got to sit in the store, in the mall and work, observe, and help people use the software. Seeing their struggles and questions and ideas was truly the most inspired I have ever felt working with any software.

I would love if I had the option to alway use "'em"- it has always felt much less formal than "them" without upsetting folks on either side of the pronoun "debate". The world eventually caved on "ain't", so I propose this as a solution. Your probability of being correct with "'em" is near 100%.

You will get excited by some new technology, but eventually burn yourself out on programming, from doing it all day, to the point of never getting to use that new exciting technology for anything personal.

It is very hard to break this cycle, but not impossible.

I use marijuana every single day, either via a vape pen, a dab pen, or drinking it. I don't really count topical use but you can if you like.

Something I see many people fall into is expecting the high to be something, or, to do something for them. This expectation will lead to resentment and feeling let down by the high (possibly much worse when you go seeking a "stronger" high) when the user really went in with no intention in mind. With no intention in mind you will end up doing nothing, much like having no intention in mind and going into a social network only to emerge 2 hours later not feeling satisfied.

Unlike several of the comments here I found that I was more social, more active, and more willing to take risks in all aspects of life than I would when I was sober. It has led to a sustained and growing yoga practice, which also led to something of a "spiritual" side I had never noticed. Projects I had dropped over the years have been picked up and completed without the fear or failure or ridicule that comes from an incredibly high anxiety while sober.

Ah, should have researched the platform- it appears to be a haven for such activity first and foremost.

Transcribed should that get taken down:

Patrick Little (@Patrick_Little): Count down to a live stream of me taking a sledge hammer to a holohoax memorial in twelve months.

Will someone take this cross from me?

> Patrick Little (@Patrick_Little): I will see the destruction of at least one US holocaust memorial in the next 12 months, or I will take a sledge hammer to one myself.

This is a campaign vow for 2020.

Either a holohoax memorial is revised in the next 12 months in the US

or I will revise one.

I am a web developer, male, early 30s. I consume marijuana/weed every day in some form, typically vapepen but sometimes flower or beverage before yoga. I was microdosing LSD for about a year with great results, but enjoy it more not microdosing but social interaction becomes more frustrating, other trade offs. I've used DMT and derivatives, but they weren't as beneficial as LSD. Lots of experimentation but these are the ones that stuck around.
