Curious as to what Gratipay was, so I did a little a research. It turns out the maintainers of GratiPay have handed over all assets over to Libreapay[0]. Libreapay appears to be a fork for Gratipay. This might be what you have been looking for!
*I have no affiliation with liberapayn just did some curious research.
Out of curiosity, have you had a chance to explore the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? WSL allows you to run your favorite linux distro with access to most command-line tools, utilities, and so on[0]. I have been a .NET developer for about 5 years now and recently began working in Ruby. The WSL had allowed me to effortlessly set up my Ruby dev environment, while still maintaining Windows 10 as my main OS of choice. While the WSL might not be a full on replacement to a linux OS, it is definitely a neat addition to Windows 10.

Not being able to opt your child out of DNA collections seems like what could be a slippery slope to a Brave New World. What's even worse is the level of misinformation surrounding the situation. Even if the samples are held under the assumption that they will be used for research, one should be entitled to opt-in, opt-out, and know what is happening with their/their child's DNA. A lawsuit here seems reasonable if not to stop this, to atleast shed light on the situation.
I agree that human nature is corrupt at its core, but the blockchain is not. Placing cryptocurrency's aside and realizing that distributed entities will allow us an attempt at curtailing the effect of these negative human qualities is what I value the most. The blockchain is a perfect example of a publicly accessible ledger that is resistant to manipulation after the fact, inherently making it a source of truth. Blockchain technology will not change the entirety of society (in our life time) but it has definitely become a catalyst for social change.
I'm glad those hiring numbers aren't accurate. Otherwise we I wouldn't be employable.
I have no idea what you are talking, but I love it. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a peraon be so passionate about something. Thank you for posting this, it made me happy.
I was too feeling lonely not long ago after losing my partner of many years. I had fallen into a pretty bad state and just felt more alone with ever passing day. After my grieving I knew something had to be done and I decided to choose between two things I've always wanted to do, boxing and salsa dancing. I eventually enrolled in a boxing academy and love it. My coach is a great man, my fellow sparing partners are almost like family now. I have made a connection with these people I never imagined I would have. I suggest you think of something you've always wanted to do and just DO IT.
Bonus: I also look and feel great now thanks to working out.
I couldn't have said it any better.
I am a Windows developer, primarily C#, WPF, and Win-forms. I must say I have had my fair share of interaction with desktop applications. Electron is great for prototyping and bringing an idea to life quickly. Like many have mentioned the performance is pretty terrible. There has to be a balance between performance and development time/ease. Personally I can work quickly on WPF (due to exposure) and tend to stay away from Electron because of its performance issues.
.NET and WPF is a great choice for desktop applications. I have been creating desktop applications with WPF for the better part of a year, I find it very nice.
Clickbait will always be clickbait. Hopefully the OP realizes the wrong in his ways and edits the title.
Great read. This type of cut throat culture inspires nothing but negativity in the work place. I am a firm believer in helping your developers improve instead of firing them. However, there is of course always a situation were people must be let go.
That was a great poem, storying that one away for later. It truly shows the complexity of the English language.
I am a C# (mostly WPF) developer at work. Most of the applications I write communicate with an API written by another developer in PHP. As much as I dread PHP I learned to read his code(which is poorly documentation) and it has helped me learn quite a bit. Reading code that isn't yours opens your mind to a different style of thinking, it's very powerful; I would recommend it.
Good to see my great senator, Marco Rubio, is supporting the people's view. Then again I doubt the majority of Florida even knows about this...
The future for Microsoft seems very bright. As the article mentions a reputation is hard to clean after it's been tarnished. I however, feel that Microsoft is making a big turn around with its recent open sourcing of .net core, and relationship building with the likes of Netflix and the Linux foundation[0]. Hopefully they can keep the ball rolling and change the publics opinion.

I must say I was a very avid gamer 5-10 years ago. I enjoyed the likes of World of Warcraft, Starcraft (1 and 2), Battlefield (all of them), and many more. Nowadays, I find it very hard to get myself to sit down and play for more than a couple hours at a time. This all changed with Rimworld, holy cow. Rimworld was a dwarf fortress I could pick up without the ridiculous learning curve. It's a game I can sit and enjoy in my free time without feeling "the grind". The base building genre is one that has barely been touched over the years, with Dwarf Fortress being the "founding father". I must say a truly unique game. The lead developer is always active on reddit and takes direct feedback from his player base. This a game I can easily see my self playing for the next decade.
The .NET CORE is now open source and cross platform. Cross platform compatibility with the exact same source code, and the killer features/speed of C# makes its my personal choice for a server-side language. I would like to add that C# devs are not cheap and also seem to be slightly more limited in today's market compared to PHP devs.
