I'm looking into using pass / keepass, any particular reason you are switching over to pass?

I personally curl a slack webhook that sends me a message.

If the task is already running, ctrl + z and run bg. Then i run `wait <pid> && slack 'job done' `

Adding on to this, how do you guys version control your notebooks?

300 rides x average of approx. $15 per ride = $4500.

Cars here require a certificate of entitlement that cost around $100k and only last for 10 years if im not mistaken. So if he continued taking 300 rides every year for 10 years it would still be half as expensive.

This might very well backfire on them. The buyers will want to buy at the lower price and the seller would want the higher price. Both parties end up being unhappy even if the end price was within the given band.

Advertising in my experience as an end user has been very ineffective.

The ads that I see on Facebook are very obviously based on my browsing history/cookies - I look at a mechanical keyboard on Lazada and decide to not buy it. Next I go to Facebook and get ads about a keyboard on Lazada - no discounts, exact same model. It could've shown me similar keyboards, gave me a lower price, or anything that adds value than just showing me the exact same thing I just decided not to buy.

Advertising for the sake of letting people know something exists is not particularly valuable to the end user, and most of the time they are not even able to predict correctly what people are interested in.

Has anyone actually bought something because of an advertisement?

I'm actually thinking of doing this starting this weekend (mostly for fun). Any tips you care to share?

IPFS, in particular, plan to have native browser support via a Javascript dependency. There was also PeerCDN (and bunch of similar clones), but they all don't tend to stick around for long or get widely used even though the setup is supposedly one line.

I feel like digital wallets would definitely solve this but there is never enough demand from consumers or merchants to give them sufficient traction. Maybe it's just a really slow shift since the benefits are marginal for most people.

Google Wallet recently added integration to bank accounts though so at least there are some progress in that aspect.

I agree with you. My observation is that most graduates out of college are able to formulate strategies to high level problems, rapidly create working solutions and generally be productive.

What sets us apart from the senior developers as pointed out by the CTO of my company seems to be experience in writing good, scalable code. More often than not this means adhering to best practices, linting and testing extensively and many other things that in general come with experience.

pass looks really awesome. How do you backup your GPG keys for pass though?

In case it was really a question: this passes `../css/styles.css` into the css loader then the style loader when `require`-ing. Normally this is setup in a webpack.config so you can just do `require('../css/styles.css')` normally
