Exactly, and this kind of selective ignorance actually costs everybody dearly in the long run. Because we just cannot please everybody.

Seeding peers or machines are meant to mitigate this issue.

Another similar (well, to some extend) open-source VS-Code based note-taking tool: https://github.com/foambubble/foam-template

Saw an article on using iron powder as energy source. Seems interesting but unfortunately I can't find the link anymore.

It depends how a country classifies casualties outside those confirmed cases. Autopsy usually would not be viable given the scarcity of health care staff.

A lot of technologies are getting way more complex and confusing than necessary. Just look at the market of time management. Tonnes of tools, software, coaches, websites, books, etc. You name it.

I recently found out that a simple .txt file serves me exceptionally well (a good IDE plugin definitely helps, too!). No more messy software, apps, journals, etc. which I feel are making my time management tasks even more challenging.

My code folder is a sym link to a folder in my iCloud drive. The beauty is all my code will be sync'ed to cloud automatically, and the bonus is I can see this folder in every machine that syncs with the same Apple account. I believe this approach works with any cloud drive like DropBox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc.

Nice sharing. Like the tip on 'Own Tools' that has been applied in numerous situations. Sometimes a quick-and-dirty script(usually bash or python) will accelerate things considerably.

<sarcasm> My company is awesome in the sense to make sure it doesn't forget, it repeats the same mistakes every couple of years </sarcasm>

I worked with some other outsourcing companies from other part of the world, and seen exactly this pattern: The initial team was sharp and smart, to gain stakeholder confidence, they stayed for a few months, setting up demo and prototype. Later they would slowly bring in other team members and started to withdraw themselves from the project. Eventually, those A-team was gone.

Those late-joiners had absolutely no clue on what was going on, and also didn't have the competency at all to hold the helm. Result? A much mediocre rewrite of the whole platform which never fulfilled the requirements.

Is your business just starting, or already have some customers? How much funding you have, and what are the skillsets of your staff have?

A safe place to start would be Linux + Postgres + Java Spring or PHP Laravel.

My experience is the market has more Java or PHP engineers (compared to say, Elixir).

A few thoughts after reading the article:

(1) The writing style isn't impressive given the author claiming to be a native English speaker and a teacher. A bit wordy and incoherent.

Example: I was in China from February 2007 until June 2010 I lived in 3 cities while I was there, 2 years in Harbin (where they have the Ice Festival, and a wicked beer garden in Summer), 1 year in Shenyang (awesome city where I started my first business) and 1 year in Changchun (where I started my second business, and met my amazing wife).

(2) Pretty obvious advertising on Ninjodo, and I feel this is the main theme of the article instead of 'sharing of lessons learned'

Then using a credit card will be the best bet as you can file charge-back.

The good'ol cash or physical check will always work. Don't believe so called the 'new money': you lose all control of your own money and at someone else's mercy.

Maybe a bit off-topic, I encountered a pretty rude experience with StartSSL's free certificate validation process and from then on I would rather pay some money to other vendors than getting a free cert from StartSSL.

But I have been using Let's Encrypt which is pretty automated, and did I say it is totally free? Awesome is a word I will describe this kick-ass product.

tl;dr version please...

I kind of agree this strategy, but do note I am not looking at being cheap. My people are paid well above market rate, the point is I need execution and work done, there is a limit on how out-of-box and creative an employee should be. One can question the technical solution or even the business model, but after a decision is made by the business owner, execution must be done instead of incessant arguing over the merits and demerits of such decision.

As such, I tend to hire those who don't take oneself too seriously. The OP's redflags I feel are corollary to this observation.

Be humble and get shit done.

I guess this asks mainly is to weed out those who are not truly 'Nix-ish' people...

Suggestion: Ability to filter by region (APAC, NA, EMEA, etc.) would be awesome.

We can treat that as a consultation gig which may lead to an offer. It is up to the candidate to declare this income to the tax authority.

I am a developer and I have a mechanical keyboard hooked up to the rig, so I seldom use the mac keyboard anyway. My main complaint would be the hardware doesn't seem to get better. The USB-C ports I do see them coming, but given my 2014 MBP is still running strong, I will hold on to upgrade for a little longer.

Nah, I am completely out from Linux around 5 years ago. Had spent my fair share of time and effort (~10years) using Linux, solving some corner cases that hit me along the way. To me, using Linux is just like driving on a highway with sink holes sprinkled along, the ride will be gay and smooth _until_ you hit those holes. Either you fix those yourself (It is open-source remember!?) or hope for some kind souls to help out.

Thanks but thanks...

Singapore as well. My iPhone 6 had a bloated battery, instantly replaced without any question. My LG Nexus had a bloated battery, all emails and FB messages ignored. Tell me who to love.

What advantages Crystal has compared to other more modern languages that aim to compete with C? For example D and Rust.

Why a negotiating ploy? I doubt there is any other replacement for Walmart that accepts Visa and offers comparable level of price and range of products. Thoughts?

Remember Nokia.

The 3D vertical farm reminds me something a bit tangential, but similar that you can do at your own home. It is called window farms: http://our.windowfarms.org/

The idea is to use recycle matters to build a home garden. Nice and innovative. Also, its build has been open sourced. Worth to take a look.

Amazon doesn't have the best PR lately. A few months ago it was in the news on the harsh working condition, and now it is shutting down customer accounts. Most likely Amazon has its own reason, but the information so far doesn't shed any light on if the customer has indeed abused the system.

No contradiction. It can treat paid customers as kings, but it doesn't mean non-paying customers are beggars and thieves.

What happens if that was your software? Will you think it is good? Hope whatever you have for a living is NOT up there for free due to 'popular demand'.

Need somebody to shed lights on this: my understanding is Ethereum started with pre-farmed ethers and opened for sale in bitcoins.

My two questions:

1) Any info on how many ethers the founders/founding company had farmed and holding in vault?

2) If Ethereum takes off (financially), and these early members start to dump the ethers for cash, will it crash the Ethereum economy?

Bitcoin could have exactly the same issue, but I feel the difference is most people then wasn't sure if crypto currency would fly, and it is fair to reward on the risk for those who trusted and held bitcoins.

Ethereum sounds like a more refined and polished business endeavour, and I feel it gets too much hype lately.
