I just deleted my comment wondering the same thing. I don't understand why something like opencollective couldn't be used. Give money to org, see how money is spent. The NFT is completely unnecessary.

The instructions I follow for my pourover requires 350 grams of water. Much more than 8oz. It drives me crazy, but it also tastes good! Though If I only poured until reaching the 8oz mark it's also quite nice. That said, there is a question of "full-extraction".

I have the same frustration, though in this case I think given the author's expertise I imagine all the words actually contain much wisdom. Hopefully!

I love monotony in the right places. I'm particular about food, but I never bothered to research whether eating the same thing is OK. Glad I can just plan a healthy meal, and eat it over and over again.

It's only when I'm with others when I end up doing something different. And that different meal option almost always ends up being something I don't really want to put into my body.

Monotony is a great way to save money too. If you're cooking the same meals there is a lot of efficiencies you discover every day. The only difficulty comes when/if you want to eat seasonally.

Sometimes the desire for variety is just that. A desire.

I agree with you. It's frustrating when we focus on symptoms instead of the root causes, which are deeply encoded in our culture. It just makes it that much harder.

It's also frustrating when it's not discussed at all. It's hard to bring up the biases and subtle discrimination that occurs as a PoC without making a privileged person run for the hills.

I applaud people whose job is focused on bringing change to organizations. I can't imagine how difficult it is to do this work effectively.

Just stop using Facebook. Stop putting the onus on Facebook to fix all of this. We just need to stop using it. There are alternatives out there; start using them.

These articles are always going to come up. We're going to act surprised for 5 minutes, and continue to feed the machine.

This is a total bummer. I remember when my dad took me here on the weekends.

awesome. i didn't know about this. thanks!

then they should have charged less for their products. or created a more environmentally friendly design. my guess is that apple's PR team made this article happen

Cool! Here is the source code: https://github.com/elendirx/web2web

I can't see this link, what is it?

Ahh, thanks for clarifying!

Did I see video footage of inside the fuel tank?

Agree. All this stuff turns into fodder for anti-tech sentiment.

-I'm not saying there shouldn't be any, but a lot of it is baseless.

Which ML book would you recommend?

This is incredibly cool. I'm definitely going to have some fun playing with this.

I've been wanting to make time to learn Haskell. But I have this problem, when learning any language, where I don't know what to build, but want to take a learn by doing approach.

What are some good things to build when getting into a new language? Data structures? Chat server?

I agree. I can't stand the tone. OSDev.org does a good job of managing peoples expectations without insulting people. Its possible to be clear and concise without resorting to using abusive language.

I don't think it has to be an all or nothing thing. Do whats right for you!

But I definitely know some people do it out of guilt. Indulging themselves, and their co-workers in Productivity Theater.

I agree. Unfortunately, the fact that they include the moment you were born in your timeline makes me feel that they don't want us to easily curate our profile.

I might be a pessimist though, I hope they add the feature.

I think this distinction is incredibly crucial. There has been so much talk about how a CS degree is useless (and I for a moment bought that garbage as a holder of a CS degree), but it is completely untrue.

As you work with more and more people in this industry, you frequently run into people without a degree, or, more importantly, no true know how, as I do stand by the fact that it's not required to have a degree to learn this stuff, who behave as if they are experts regardless of their poor mental model of how computers work.

It's important for these people to know what they don't know. Reminding people that Code is not CS is a good way to make that happen.

This is tricky. If I'm working full-time, depending on the compensation, specifically in terms of stock and salary, I'll optimize for 40 hours a week.

As a freelance developer, I don't care how many hours you want me to work. I get compensated for it. Though, I'll still optimize for 40 since, I don't know, I want to live my life, and I want to do a great job.

If I'm starting my own business, I'll work more.

All that said, I strongly believe in working sustainably. I'd rather have a steady rate of work, than some erratic graph with lots of spikes (followed by crashes).

Eat right, exercise, spend time with loved ones, and work hard.

Uber has been great in my experience. In NYC I had a couple terrible drivers, and I gave a couple terrible reviews.

Without me having to reach out, figured out the details, then they apologized and provided a refund.

Really great idea. Attacking any segment of brick&mortar businesses with this kind of product is a big opportunity.

I tried doing this before with SquidCube but it was a bit too broad, and lacked the required focus to be compelling.

Awesome. You should feel no shame.

Ah, that makes sense. You're right, I'm probably bringing in the wrong points relative to his experience.

However, I just feel that his experience opens up a higher level discussion of America's (poor?) implementation of border patrol.

Also, in terms of unfounded comments. There is a chance you haven't read this: http://varnull.adityamukerjee.net/post/59021412512/dont-fly-...

Race is always complex, especially because racism illegal. It becomes a subtle and hard to describe thing. Maybe "random search" is a good way to describe it. Ultimately, it makes me feel like I'm being delusional. I hope I am.

Fair point. We have CBP for many reasons.

The mishandling is the primary issue at hand.

I wish there were honest statistics available, so that people could know for a fact that yes, there are or are not actually a lot of extreme cases like this.

No, I think there is a need.

If the definition of what it is to be American is warped, specifically, that it takes more than citizenship to be welcomed home, then that should come into the discussion of these cases of mistreated foreigners.

You don't think its weird to be strip searched, and kept from contacting worried parties, because you decided to play a non-profit show without a visa?

Law or not, I don't think that makes sense.

Even if you were born and raised in America, you're not truly American unless you're white. Until then, prepare to be accosted at immigration.
