I am about to release a mental health app to tackle dissociation and daydreaming.

Unlike its competitors, it uses proven research and techniques to measure the issues, as well as the improvements.

Test users and early adapters are very welcome

There was a time I had to re-draw the scanned city plans in AutoCad (possibly in R13/14), on a Pentium 3 machine as an high-school student.

Having such tool at that time would have saved myself not only from wasting months, but would also have saved from having carpal tunnels at very young age.

I wonder how big or small that $10K compared to the game's monthly income. Guess I'd be OK to share the 70% of that with the modder if it'd be up to me (no wonder why I don't get rich huh?).

* 70% was the amount of loading time the modder helped to cut.

I just had a chance to do a bit research and read about the facts and I believe you're right.

It seems even a small pet, like a hamster, could produce more CO2 than a home full of trees/plants during the night.

I may have missed but it seems nothing discussed for the amount o plants in the comments.

Is having that many plants around your bed safe? Can they release enough CO2 to effect your sleep quality or is it a myth I remember from my childhood?

Thanks. They look amazing.

I agree. Though even if a fraction of the trees survive in a place of harsh conditions, further generations of the same seed can carry the same strength and spread.

That’s something I witnessed myself from my village years.

Some already pointed out, I am also curious about sustainability and how many trees will survive in future BUT I am incredibly amazed of the number of trees planted in just 12 hours. I might be naive in this thinking but it gives me hope about what we can achieve once we have to.

Each of the ~5000 stored procedures I had to strip out from a client’s large MySQL cluster agrees with this statement.

Real life effect of this is that now people will know how to draw more fuel-efficient routes for ships, tankers etc, so they will consume less fuel which can lead to cheaper logistics, less CO2 release and less negative impact on the environment.

So I think it’s OK to call this groundbreaking :)

I watched Ultimate Go on Safari Books a while ago and recently got back to it to revise my knowledge.

It will fill all the gaps and answer all the questions one can have, especially after the Tour of Go or reading a book which only scratches the surface.

I can't express enough how amazing that course and how useful what Hoanh did.

Once you finish, I'd also suggest to take a look to the Ardan Lab's github account since there are tons of material for Go.

Bill's presentation also made me giggle a lot -which is a rare thing for tutorials- since he says things like

  If I see an interface and it doesn't smell right, 
  and I'll be asking the developer, why are you 
  using an interface here? Now if the developer 
  gives me any one of these two answers, we're 
  gonna go take a walk.

Looks nice.

This could be quite useful to demonstrate/teach/explain simple stuff to people but I am not so sure if I would like to expose anything else from my console in this way.

Or you’ll create space for younger, more honest, science-driven generation?

One of the idioms of Golang is not being clever but being verbose and clear.

Looks like your senior dev has completely missed that.

While I agree that people were thinking to achieve more when buying a 3d printer and then many realised it's not always easy and straightforward to print thinks in mind, I still wouldn't call this a hype.

It's an advancement and we are the early adapters.

Even in the current state, I managed to print many useful things, only by downloading 3d models by the fraction of the price I would be paying if I were to buy those things from shops.

I also realised that 3d printers are not the same as few years ago, they are more precise, accurate and handling the errors better than previous models.

So I am a bit more hopeful than you for the foreseeable future. :)

1. Investments/interest of that 2 mil will cover that mortgage easily in the long term

2. S/he won’t be paying early payment penalty.

How do you calculate the net worth of yourself? Is it simply your assets - your debts or is there another way to do it?

Because the effected models are 2015 models, not all 15 inch macbook pros are effected.

This has been posted and discussed few times in the past weeks but I think there is no harm to leave this here to make more people aware of this.

I think roads should emit high energy lasers to prevent pedestrians to step on the road if the area is not designed to cross the road. :)

Kidding. I was thinking like adding more guidance for pedestrians and prevent them jumping on the road with pre-cautions but guess I missed the point since the news says when they are under 12 mph and reversing.

My bad. I completely missed the point and thought they would make them noisy in general.

I wonder how they will solve the noise problem if it’s just slow moving traffic.

I read that as “let’s cut corners instead of building/improving roads”.

Apart from lending, they are also making the business accounts available for everyone bit by bit. There will be monthly fees for the business and plus accounts.

There are tons of product they can come up with, like insurance, mortgage etc. So making money won’t be a problem with this growth rate I believe.

Monzo also have more customers than banks like Metro, which was older and more invested than Monzo at the time.

I recently had my spare macbook’s battery replaced by paying quite a lot. I even had to do a second trip to the store because the returned item was also faulty. They did something to the motherboard while changing the battery I guess because they also replaced that for free, but not before I diagnosed the problem for them...

Then today I learned that the battery I got replaced was included to this program butit seems Apple doesn’t want to refund the money I paid for the battery and they can’t guarantee if the replaced battery is healthy, so I have to do a 4th trip to the Apple Store make sure it won’t explode to my face...

I don’t understand why Apple can’t track what it put to my laptop and tell me if it dangerous or not.

It’s just annoying and painful. I’d expect better -which was the case for the past 6 years.

My first thought was that the man donated his sperm anonymously but then decided to claim that he's the father of a 11 years old but it doesn't seem anything like that

The 49-year-old man and the child's mother, who was single at the time, had been friends when he agreed to donate his semen in 2006.

They arranged to raise the child together but the pair later had a falling out, his lawyers said. The woman's lawyers argued he was not the father.

However, the man was identified as a parent on the girl's birth certificate and she called him "Daddy".

I think this man has every right to be there for this child.

Wow. I know Fiverr for years but I never thought of it more than as a cheap version of freelancer dot com and now it goes to IPO with $700M valuation? That’s crazy!

You're right, I was aiming the spammers by fake/bot accounts. Not the ones that are useful or fun.

Twitter just went the easy route and blocked all jsfiddle.net links instead of blocking spammer accounts on their platform.

This is a huge problem with all the tech giants that needs to be addressed. I don't expect them to be perfect but I expect them to be open to communications on any level.

I also think Twitter is the Twitter today just because of the bots and fake accounts they have since those accounts were creating so much content and movement on the platform. I know people whose spending days by reading those fake accounts while they have no idea what's fake and what's real. So maybe -just may be- they may not want to get rid of all those fake accounts and bots.

Oh, no. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to say privacy is bad, I was trying to say Google has a clear advantage since it knows more about the user. Don't think it's worth to compromise your privacy though.

Another advantage of Google is having the vast resources they have but again, it works because they know who you are.

I also agree with what you said. People just need to be more specific with their search and yes, DDG is going better by the day.

I believe having privacy puts the user at disadvantage since DDG doesn't keep your history or track who you are. i.e. Google knows definitely knows I am a developer and shows the tech related things first even when I search for super generic words. That's why people think DDG doesn't do a good job but I think it does if you can be more specific.

Yet I agree it's not better than or equal to Google when it comes to image search. I guess Google is doing a better job on classifying images.
