I'm building a product suite around the data integration process. The first product I released more than a month ago is WRGL Repos: https://www.wrgl.co - it deals with data versioning.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
BTW if anyone is banging their head trying to benchmark JavaScript, don't be. I recently built jest-bench to address this need: https://github.com/pckhoi/jest-bench
I'm the founder and sole engineer of WRGL: https://www.wrgl.co. I have just launched the first version and looking for a part-time job to support myself while keeping developing WRGL. Beside my own product I have 6-years experience working with multiple startups in the past including:
I would describe myself as someone who can balance the avant-garde side of technology as well as product deliverability. I hope you find my profile interesting and contact me if you're interested.
Then why don't you try it and see if it work for you. Way more productive than endless speculation.
I see the irony that is your attempt to dismiss these labels is just a way to label these people as self-aggrandizing fraud. In absence of evidence isn't it wiser to not assume such a stand?
This method would limit benefactors to only those who have access to the internet and a way to receive money online. Most of the third world country population wouldn't fit into this category.
And you can't be solving big systematic problems and bring about societal change by working with individual cases. This is like fighting fire when you should have made the building fireproof in the first place.
As long as the intention is to actually create wealth for the society as a whole as opposed to just making yourself rich, I don't see a problem to what Elon does.
I do think that $70/mo is reasonable per cluster but don't dismiss the value of k8s even for small projects. I used to bring a project from Ansible to k8s and even though it use only 2 nodes (~$200/mo), the tooling, the abstraction, the snappiness of gke was very much worth the switch.
You are misguided in thinking that Reddit is a good source of information. Reddit is heavily biased, very left leaning on any political matters. Most subreddits are echo chambers where anyone who voice a different viewpoint could be down-voted to smithereens. The toxicity there is also too high, some are so eager to use insult to drown out any argument.
The author didn't say that we should trust MasterCard but he was saying that this trust issue can be solved much more efficiently via the legal system. And in practice the current system already works as billions entrust their financial transactions in these institutions.
Some people have the tendency to think that technology could solve anything and should be allowed to solve everything. This Libra thing is no better than the crypto-currencies.
This feels like your personal sentiment. You do know that there are good outsourcing firm out there right? I've been working at outsourcing firm for most of my career and I have to disagree. There are a full spectrum of good and bad developers out there even in the outsourcing world, not just bad ones. Do you think outsourcing as a practice can still survive if it doesn't bring value?
Didn't he say that you get to be the founding member of a new civilisation? Transforming the planet, mining, building cities. It all sounds very exciting to me. It's certainly not for everyone though.
you're not a loser. Sometime I feel like a loser too, but sometime I don't feel that way. It's something that stick to your identity at some points and falloff at other points.
As a non-native english speaker I assure you everything has a cost even a supposedly universal good thing like english. The more fluent I am at english the more my thought process changes. There are already cases where I find myself unable to relate to the simple joy that people around me seem to get for free.
And you shouldn't compare yourself to him. People are not born equal, he had his own unique upbringing and environment. He was surrounded by genius, the cool kids, thus his view are such. And you have your own unique situation, probably was far less lucky than his so what's the problem?
Depression is a choice? You surely don't know how Depression work. You don't choose getting into a car accident, in the same way you don't choose Depression. Stuffs happen, not because people "chose" it.
I don't know about photography but I do know how much effort a painter has to put into each of his painting, especially for those who's great at "attention to detail".
And the 8-bit derivative is but a thin layer on top of enormous work. Think of someone who add 10 lines of code on top of your 10,000 lines of code and publish it without asking for permission.
The artist definitely have the right to be pissed at least.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
