If it takes 84 hours a week of use in order to become proficient I think I'll pass.

That's true. I suppose there's a certain amount of trust required. I really only ever disable it on sites that have a good track record with security and provide me enough value. There is risk involved though.

Yeah, that was a misunderstanding on my part. I suppose for their whitelist/blacklist to work with regex matching the ads would have to be served from a similarly named domain. Like facebook.com vs ads.facebook.com, and you'd have

They didn't say whitelist ad providers, they said sites. Which you can do with pi-hole.

I disable my adblocking for sites that use reasonable ads. If I go to a site and am bombarded with pop ups, auto playing video ads, etc., then yeah why wouldn't I block them? With the malware and tracking that is often injected into ad

Legitimate question, is free speech guaranteed on Facebook's platform? Or do they get to decide what content is okay and what isn't?

You mention putting purpose over profit, but I assume you still make a reasonable living doing this from the sounds of things. Is this your only job currently? What's the tech stack like? Thanks for a great article :)

A lot of people come for the atmosphere and other festivities. I'm sure the actual number of people visiting town for the game is closer to 200k than it is to 50k.

Pretty sure it counts as a linux sale if the buyer spends more time playing on Linux than Windows within a time window (I think 2 weeks).

Not sure about firefox, but localhost definitely autofills localhost for me in chrome.

Just wanted to say you sound like a great parent!

From my experience having children and sleep isn't even always an option ;)

That was pretty much the case for me, yes. I usually preferred working 6:30-3:00 and it fit my schedule really well.

No, they just asked what it's like working as a contractor. They said they were offered a job through a company similar to what I was employed through.

I contracted for about 8 months through a large staffing firm. A few things I liked: * Hours were fairly flexible * Not too much supervision, was mostly given things to work on and expected to finish them in a certain amount of time * Didn&

The logos are being provided free of charge to an open source project of the communities choice. I don't really see how that's contradictory, they make no claim of the logos being open source.

In the article it says he's still paying a mortgage and his wife is disabled. So I would imagine there are quite a few medical expenses on top of that.

Yep, this is what I do for my site. 51 cents a month.

I don't think HIPAA would have any jurisdiction in this area.

He was stocking shelves, but he was also an absolute stud in the arena football league and went on to lead the league in touchdowns in NFL Europe. Might be one of the only NFL Europe success stories that I know of. I'm a Rams fan and s

I don't mean to come across as rude, but I don't really understand the point of this article. I thought maybe it would be a guide to learning CSS grid, but all it's saying is that we should go out and learn it ourselves. And

That's absurd. How is it so high? Mine uses around 700MB pretty consistently.

Universities are a hotbed for binge drinking and drug use. So I'm not sure I buy into that.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry I came off as condescending, I probably shouldn't have said anything.

by ztoben 9y ago
Yeah, exactly this. If your article/gist/etc gains some traction it's an easy way to get people to look at your other projects. Github's success is largely dependent on the social aspect.

It's funny you consider this running them over. I'm sure from their perspective you are hardly a blip on the radar.

I believe you're thinking of concurrency, which go handles pretty well with goroutines.

Okay, someone help me follow this. I understand the whole give me money and I'll double it thing. But how did he end up with $242 million? That seems like and incredible amount for a single person to have the authority to give away.

Fun read. I've always wondered what kind of experience it takes to get picked for a project like this. Seems like it would be fun.
