School Bus drivers should be one of the highest paying jobs. Start there.

Everything is so upside down. The children's caregivers, teachers, etc. should be the best people society can produce. From there greatness will be incubated.

Out of the dozens and dozens of youtube gambling creators/streamers I find myself tuning into this one everyday as well as other very specific creators in travel, tech, etc. What is it that makes these stick to us? I really can't find a thread that ties my ten or so daily watches and my twenty or so weekly streamers together. What draws you in for the long term? Can these creators survive or are tey a flash in the pan?

How do we get drawn to fringe types of entertainment. I watch this guy every day, and believe you me, I have many better things to do! But I can't resist... Solve this...

GITS is amazing as a design universe. The more you dig into the manga or movies (even the SACs) the deeper you get sucked in to what could be. From the vision of mind interfaces to the dream of mind across the net. It was WAY ahead of it's time and still stands up today.

Every crevasse of the original Manga contains deep thought out design on what digital life could become. What constructs we become once we crossed that digital/biological line.

Love it. Happy to buy into the sell.

I would love to see a series written on representing all these datatypes in JSON.

Being in Phoenix as a remote worker for an East coast org, I love this. PHX does NOT do daylight savings which very few tools observe. TY

I wish only that you would add a RESET to NOW button.

Sliding to find when meetings could happen is awesome, but I keep wanting to reset to now.

Very cool!! Firefox bookmarked.

I'm holding my cuecat in hand with a PS/2 adapter thru a PS/2->USB adapter. Still works perfectly using Larry Wall's one-line decoder!!!

Amazing ahead of it's time product, by a very very screwed up founder.

Finally a smart use for my $1000 nVidia card.

Someone's genius is showing. Better zip up.

Watching the SpaceX launches on the SpaceFlightNow youtube channel is an amazing thing. The amount of money people pledge for memberships/tips during each launch always amazes me.

If a hack organization like SFN (great ppl, but the hosts act like children) can make $$$$ by ripping half the NASA/SpaceX feeds, then NASA is deserving.

(Yes I am aware that SFN has it's own hardware and staff expenses. I have a ton of respect for them and what they continue to do)

Amen to that. 70s tech that just worked. I've got boxes of X10 switches, motion sensors, and modules that I don't use anymore because Home Assistant doesn't support it well. I miss it.

It was simple, with some small issues.

If you wanted to kick it up a notch you could run a Mister House server connecting to the powerline through a $15 Radio Shack module.

Implementing these library/frameworks are just a small piece of the application. You implement strict development policies and standards that these frameworks wrap around, fit within the architecture. Too many devs rely on the framework to be the architecture.

A SPA is a piece of an overall architecture and these frameworks are still just a piece of the overall architecture.

Almost all of these frameworks can/will assist in strict standardization. Bootstrap is a good example. BS with a well designed style guide is a blessing, without it's the wild west. Angular, React, Vue are all very useful (back button included) if thought out and as part of an architecture.

In the end, they get you much further along with support, than a team could do with vanilla.
