Mine too, I even have a few Flash (.fla) project files (games) here coming through an array of backups

"This blog requires JavaScript for anything besides reading."

I knew I was in good hands ;)

Sandboxie[1] is a really handy tool for running isolated processes on Windows.

I went there with JS disabled and was very confused–it just showed a list of links. Not pleasant.

Edit: With JS enabled, the design just amazed me

I agree, this is probably because we never 'speak' (although write) in programming languages trying to convey something. This goes same for 'hearing' (although we read and understand, hopefully). We always use human languages for those purposes, well, except for those times we speak in pseudo-code.

Don't be too quick to take it at face value. It's hard to write down what is actually in one's head, even for experienced writers. I'm sure he'll tell you a lot more on the stuff he claims he doesn't know if you had the good fortune of having a chat with him in person. Also, keep in mind that he probably knows deeply about some things and their extents, and so his definition of words like 'fuzzy' should be different from that of an intern's. As he puts it himself,

Experienced developers have valuable expertise despite knowledge gaps

contributes heavily to

learning technologies when I need them

which can be very valuable.

But it's not that simple. There are many things like social dynamics at play whenever people interact with one another, and the one with most charisma is going to be a leader without a title–and that can be good too.

And companies who dare asking your consent to collect, retain, and share (with 3rd parties they like) everything about you from your teams chat to gene data.

Big G tracks you–we are different

Hi, you should hide elements with CSS instead of with JS, following is visible on visiting the page with JS disabled.

"A confirmation link has been sent to your email. If you register and confirm your email, you can skip this step."

How about a browser that has cookies etc. as different modules detachable/attachable from/to the actual _browsing session/s_, and an option to attach/detach them on the fly. I think I would get used to the overhead work involved when browsing, just like I got used to NoScript.

IMHO, entries like this are misleading for a beginner (a bad apple in the basket)

Maybe you should give VSCodium[1] a try?

Very true, and I agree there are programs to retrieve browser passwords [1]. Does this mean there is built-in code in Firefox which sniffs for browser-stored password files inside home directory of a user? I don't see any other way how Firefox knew that I had the logins saved in Chromium for the particular site I mentioned.

Maybe it's meant as an idiom to mention a deviation from what is available in 'science' as a domain?

"we dropped my brother-and-law off"

This made me want to read the rest of your comment ;)

Hope you meant __brother-in-law__ though

In the midst of Covid-19 isolation, meeting with less distractions, I too had thoughts on theses lines. It almost came as a revelation. Keep creating, everyone's a creative force. But create value, not nonsensical stuff. Kudos for the author of this article.

If I may, RWE's 'Self-Reliance' too mentions something on these lines.

... we have overdeveloped the material aspects of existence at the expense of the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects, and we are paying the price for that error.

At the end of the day, whatever shell best suits you basically boils down to usage, habits and how much willing you are to tweak it.

Ahh... the placebo effect[1]

Edit: Don't know why the downvotes. Maybe the song 'all-solo-founders-please-stand-up' does not relate to as many of us as I thought.

If you are inclined to give your minimum at something you spend time on everyday, it essentially means you shouldn't have started it in the first place.

Unless you are forced to do work you don't enjoy (work is what brings food to the table etc.), you should obviously find better work. Also, even if you are stuck, try to get out of it as soon as possible.

Choosing to do work you don't care about is simply bad decision making due to lack of understanding. In the long run it may even reduce the quality of your life.

Good that you decided not to "wallow in buyers’ remorse" and spread the story + your brand.

A perfect case of finding opportunity amid crisis.

Yeah, this lack of resources problem (with multiple other factors) keep most of us from living the life we want to live. I wonder how we can improve/grow out from this...

For me, it was an app that lets you record the day's overall happiness level. I had even thought about details such as a way for asking user's name in a friendly manner if I were to build it. But now I know such apps exist.

Hey @leadership101 how things are going for you?

I think I stumbled upon huginn's [1] repo on GH while searching for startup ideas.

Mediation, obviously. Also being physically active; jogging, swimming, or running, at least a few minutes everyday.

Looked inside. Mindfully.

I encourage you to read following books: 1. Mindfulness in plain English 2. As a man thinketh 3. Self reliance (essay by RWE) 4. Wherever you go, there you are 5. The monk who sold his Ferrari 6. The alchemist 7. Wind, sand and stars 8. The heart and the fist 9. The little prince 10. The phantom tollbooth

If you think you don't have the time for all, just only read the first one.
