I find this test interesting because I received an ACE score of 1, but I'm the oldest child in my household and I'm realizing that my siblings would probably score slightly higher than me... :-(
I moved out when I was around 20 before alcoholism and divorce destroyed the beautiful family dynamic that I grew up with.
This makes me want to try and understand the differences between myself and my siblings a bit more closely.
Citi is doing a great thing and it's charging a fair price. There is a benefit for all of us when businesses charge a fee for the products and services they provide: We don't take those products or services for granted.
Just because some big bank can afford to pay for your bike ride, doesn't make you entitled to ask them to do it.
I'm going to engage because there's nothing pathetic about these guys.
I bet many people said people like "Thomas Edison", "The Wright brothers", and "Steve Wozniak" were "sad and pathetic" like you say as they tinkered on their projects.
I just remembered compiling an early 2.0.xx kernel on an old 386DX AT&T server that was given to me when I was a teenager in the 90s. It spent hours doing it and I loved watching gcc take several seconds to compile each file! I also recall that the hard drive in that thing must have weighed at least 40lbs. Those were fun days!
I'm going to upvote this comment because not everyone in the world can afford $300 for 64GB+ of RAM. The solution to not dump everything into RAM is a great one.
Fortunately, I've had a fancy Silicon Valley job for 15+ years which now lets me afford many GBs of RAM if I wanted to but it was a different story in my 20s. I relied on free or almost free hardware to learn. And that free hardware usually lagged in specs.
If you're like me and have spent several years working with Java projects, moving to Kotlin will slow you down at first. You also may not know all the cool new features available in Kotlin from day 1, so you may find yourself doing "java" things in Kotlin, or not knowing how to do some things in Kotlin at all.
If you're on a tight deadline for something, you might want to just stick with Java (if you know it) until you can dedicate enough time to learn Kotlin well. If you're new to both Java or Kotlin, then learn both. :)
"I would advice Mr. Sam Altman to not write such an insulting article. He should take it down immediately. Many of us reading it live in San Francisco."
Thanks for the reply. I think you're doing great. Keeping your focus on the core components of your product is probably the best thing you are doing for your business.
I also want to say that your site has a great design. Are you doing that yourself or would you mind sharing the service you're using?
Thank you for noticing this. The $175/month came from the intercom services. Given that support is likely his main selling point, I think $175 is perfectly fine for the added functionality.
This reminds me of some of my early linux boxes. As a poor high school student in the mid to late 90s I was only able to get free computer equipment. Some of it was pretty cool. In order to squeeze as much performance out of them, I ran slackware and debian.
Some of the most memorable were:
386DX AT&T Server tower (a huge case with a 40lb 1.2GB Hard drive) - got it to run slackware and serve files on a 10mbps network
486SX-40MHz desktop machine running linux with FVWM and Englightenment! :) Biggest achievement: Play a 128mbps Mp3 file streamed from an Apple LC475!
Apple LC475 (68040-25MHz) - The 68040 could decode an mp3 file. I used to use it to decode the MP3 files and send the audio over the network to a 486sx that lacked an FPU. I ran linux on this, not mac os.
Apple Quadra 660AV - awesome little machine. I ran linux and mac os on this.
I've been playing with Meteor since 0.5 and only recently discovered the WebStorm IDE. I HIGHLY recommend it even for personal projects. It has built in support for meteor, and gives you a truly powerful debugging environment. You can set breakpoints and examine the state of the app (var values, etc...) while viewing the console within the IDE itself. It also has a Chrome plugin that allows the IDE to launch and debug apps in the browser.
I recently visited the island. Foreigners are prohibited from providing internet access to Cubans. Jail time for the offense is in the order of 30years+.
Hi everyone, this is something I've been working on during late nights and weekends. It's a social network for movie goers that allows you to cast your vote for movies that are currently playing in theaters then see where you and your friends overlap. You can also receive email notifications when new movies arrive in theaters!
Please let me know what you think. You can try it without signing up, but to vote, you must sign up. I currently only support facebook.
Recommendation: Add an input box to the page where I can type in my email and receive a notification when the android app is available. By the time tomorrow comes I won't remember that Bento exists and I really want to try out your product.
Developer here. I'd like to receive some feedback on this side project I put together over a weekend. Any kind and not so kind words would be greatly appreciated.
The app is built using Meteor and it's very rough around the edges, but should work in most modern browsers. Firefox users will see some design issues but it should work.
I built https://fishygram.com with a DSL you can copy and paste into ChatGPT to build diagrams for you.
You can take a look at the examples to see what it can do.
