Yo!

My background: developer that spends his personal coding time on personal IP. I have never thoroughly explored contributing to open source projects, but am becoming more interested. Out of my last 1,614 commits counted by GitHub (a lot more really since most PRs merged as squash-commits) only 26 commits are public.

As a developer, I quite like it. The idea of getting some tailored recommendations for free sounds worth it to me. I am wondering how you are going to tailor the recommendations? If you would do so by looking through my public commit history, it would probably be way off. If you had an optional survey, I would be inclined to fill it out if it got me some interesting recommendations.

As a member of a small (~30 person) US-based software development agency that is in growth mode, I really like this mainly for recruitment purposes. We have a few open source projects that support our client and private development efforts, and these open source projects are written in languages and stacks that we use in-shop. We recently open-sourced them, so nearly all commits come from in-house. If we could pay $10 to get our open source projects in front of people, maybe (1) the projects get contributors, (2) we get inquiries regarding our open positions, and/or (3) we reach out to contributors to apply.

Not for me in the Washington DC area.

I have not faced that exact situation, where the type of thinking you described happens for any and all situations at hand; but, I have faced that situation across my life and can think of a few scenarios at the moment. For example, if my girlfriend is out in town with her friends and alcohol is involved, I worry in general and then there are moments when I do contend with worst case scenarios.

I don't think that computing worst case scenarios is devoid of light, but it can be rough.

What I like to do in these situations is to pray to God. I like to seek refuge at God, from Satan the rejected. I believe God is the Eternal Refuge. I seek refuge as many times as I feel the need to. I believe imploring God is a form of worship, and worshiping God is good, therefore I continuously implore for things, including refuge.

Hope it helps, and that you have a blessed night.

This is an interesting book series that is still in development: https://leanpub.com/b/development-and-deployment-of-multipla...

I think (1) pushing equality of opportunity in education, (2) pushing strong STEM education, and (3) nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship at universities and colleges.

I think the following talk by YC Partner Dalton Caldwell talks a little bit about that. If you Ctrl+F for "late" on the following page, the transcript section shows mention of it. I recommend the whole talk though, as it was very informative. BTW I did apply late, just last night :) https://www.ycombinator.com/library/6t-how-to-apply-and-succ...

Would love to see more mention of naturally acquired antibodies / immunity, else (as in this article) the term "unvaccinated" is overloaded in my opinion. For example, are stats around naturally immunized folks different? I imagine so..

I do like the snooze functionality, for the usual push-back of getting out of bed, but also I sometimes plan the alarm-task (e.g. call someone back ) to be within Y-snoozes away from the reminder, so using the snooze is part of the plan and not a change of plans

What a blind fool (Dawkins). Conjecture is not a substitute for truth. The Guardian reports [1] that, as part of his response to the blow back, he expressed: "If your morality is based, as mine is, on a desire to increase the sum of happiness and reduce suffering, the decision to deliberately give birth to a Down's baby, when you have the choice to abort it early in the pregnancy, might actually be immoral from the point of view of the child's own welfare." He claims to know what the world needs, and what the child needs. He claims to be an atheist, but looks to me like he worships his ego as his god.

Really cool idea, and I dig the UI too. And also, that was a cool orientation post to link us to. Hope it goes well!

While I dont think I'll have this tomorrow morning, you may like pan-fried steak and fried egg on the side, with OJ or coffee :)

I agree that it is helpful but I also think it is more nuanced than that. What if there is a Goldilocks phenomenon? Someone with knowldege on the "life on Earth goldilocks with the Sun" could share their thoughts on such a comparison :)

Anyone have thoughts on NFTs in this space to ensure that a credible author signed a video and therefore it is a credible video? NFT noob here :)

I have heard complaints when it comes to local development of apps running Python. Seems from [1] any version older than Python 3.9.1 may have problems:

"Python v3.9.1 becomes the first version of the language to support macOS 11 Big Sur. The developers note that the release is made possible thanks to Xcode 11..."

My take is that the nourishment of the soul takes a back seat to earthly nourishment most of the time: money, food, drink, sex, etc. And while we cant measure the profitability of a soul-nourishing transaction today, I do think they affect us here on earth. Same goes for neglecting our souls, I believe.

We should recalibrate at some point in order to, in earnest, make nourishing our souls a priority. And also my take is that through our years God not only matures our brains but also teaches us quite a bit, to the point that when we hit 40 we are properly equipped to make this important recalibration. I want to also add that I'm not saying the path is hermitism, in fact I really dont think that.

For example, charity to the family, the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the migrant, I believe nourishes our souls.

Happy to keep this conversation going anytime btw. Hope you have a Blessed evening.

Humbly and in hopes it may be helpful in whatever way, I put forward a (translation of a) Quranic verse that came to mind when reading your post (since you are 44 years old). Happy to expand on my thoughts if you would like me to, but for now here is the verse:

[46:15] We enjoined the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him arduously, gave birth to him arduously, and took intimate care of him for thirty months. When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age of forty, he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have repented to You; I am a submitter."

Edit: translation by Rashad Khalifa

I highly recommend watching the video interview (5 min.) embedded in the article, titled "Taken into foster care, through the eyes of a child".

It is not far from the beginning of the article. Here is the written caption:

"Before she was an inmate, Michelle Voorhees was a kid in foster care. Painting a vivid picture, Voorhees asks you to imagine the harrowing, disconcerting experience of being removed from your own home."

Search-in-page any part of the caption and it should be easy to spot.

A though on the author's words:

Megalothymia is “the desire to be recognized as superior to other people”, and “can be manifest both in the tyrant who invades and enslaves a neighboring people so that they will recognize his authority, as well as in the concert pianist who wants to be recognized as the foremost interpreter of Beethoven”; successful liberal democracies channel this desire into fields like entrepreneurship or competition, including electoral politics.

Trump can be described as someone who has megalothymia, wielding his money and more recently politics to assert his perception of himself as 'superior'. This, along with what I opine is blindness of the heart, leveraging this megalothymia as a tool to worship his ego.

These recent days, a number of tech companies, of course made up of people, flexed back when they felt their reasoning outweighed the risks of such a decision. Is this tyranny from these powerful people (Companies et al.)? And thus we are seeing folks (Trump & Companies et al.) taste each others tyranny, taking turns? Or are companies et al. simply claiming a piece of that same echelon Trump claims for himself, as an act of fighting back against a tyrant? Or some third or fourth option... etc.

I dig it! I think this would work great as a New Tab page.

Im a little late to the party but there is also: https://displayy.studio/ironcast.tv/

I built an app in this same space (news aggregation, real-time discussions) and hope it is OK to share it as a comment to this post: https://newscussion.com . Its a little different in that latest news don't come from users posting them but rather are brought in via a third party API.

Really happy to see Sqwok in this same space, as it validates that there are folks interested in ephemeral / real-time discussions around latest news :)

@holler Let me know if you'd like to talk dev stories about building for this space, I'd be down.

lol

PS: For those that didn't catch what nix23 is referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_be_high-main...

I have no insight into this but for the sake of curiosity and discussion:

I wonder if it has to do with how Stripe leadership is reading the market. There are different opinions I have read that I wonder their thoughts on: some percieve the market is doing great and will do better as we head out of quarantine with these vaccines, some percieve an incoming correction and recession due to some hollistic snapshot of economies internal and international; some speak of incoming devaluation of the dollar. I just wonder if things like these are weighed heavily when thinking of going public, and I wonder if they should or shouldnt be. I know little of economics and markets so I cant say.

May GOD Bless you for your striving!
