Asking to do the work of raising a bug to make a product better which is competing with other non profit product is in itself a bit arrogant in my opinion. On top of that the attitude to be lazy to search for the issue which was already marked as won't fix https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 is not the right thing to do. I would have appreciated if you have created the issue with the details provided and shared the link her for the op to fill in more details.

This is not cool. The idea is to create very easily replaceable jobs, which makes sense for the creators but not for the users of those platforms. Even if it is hard and requires time to master its better to know the basics and aim for relatively difficult to replaceable jobs.

Single source of income is by definition at the mercy of the source. If one thinks that one could have had a disciplien to save, think again that savings has limitations. You can not save much as an employer and if you get screwed in your mid 30's, you don't have much savings to live off and also can not start over either. The only option is look for multiple incomes and if you are not capable, do not marry or take any personal commitments that affect other people. I know it sounds harsh but that's also make logical sense. Since you now have time, either save more or fight to change the situation so that the next generation of humans does not have to suffer this. Depressing but logical thought.

Wrong comparison. In this case making money is enough of a motivation. But in case of open source contributions its more of a sacrifice.

Printing tons of money is what is happening even without basic income, BI is the way forward to free human from boring labor. Probably no one has a macroeconomic plan. But the basic idea is simple and powerful. Robots do the menial and boring job of humans and they are taxed that is distributed to people and people spend on robots for services and the cycle continues.

The site is usable but can be made a lot better simply by changing the priorities.

Hide all those compiler flags etc in the first page. The idea is if any one needs such advanced settings surely the source code will be multi page source code, even for the special use case it would be in the 1 % users.

Include some template code which is readily compilable. THis is will be useful

The sharable link should be integrated with reddit, google +, etc to be more resistance free sharing.

jhgjklj — Sat, 10 Jun 2017 09:29:34 +0000

I too feel this way. But somehow all my superiors in my work has so much confidence about how much they know about the project and can even project themselves as know what they are taking kind.I am sure they do not know as much as they think, because they are very confident in my area of work more than i ever will be.

   The irony is the more i know the lesser confident i get and i reflect it in meetings. I dont know how to avoid it. I am really looking for a mental framework on how to not look like a complete idiot in meetings although what i say is totally factual.

> All in all, pretty uninteresting, right? :)

Not at all. Ten hours of sleep a day for this amount of productivity is pretty interesting. Thanks very much for answering.

Very Impressive. Please answer the following questions if possible so mere mortals can learn from.

How much time do you spent on creating vs learning(meaning studying algorithms or anything that will be useful to creating(coding)).

Do you learn regularly.

Do you learn on the days while you create too.

Do you watch TV? If yes what shows do you watch ?

Do you watch youtube to which channels do you subscribe ? Never mind. I found this for those who are interested https://www.youtube.com/user/FogleBird/channels

Do you do exercise ?

Coffee or Tea ?

Does you boss complain about your job as you are very active with side projects ? (or) may be do you think he feels sad about spending all the creative energy on outside work.

What advice do you give for a 2 year experienced guy who wants to be as productive as you ?

How many hours do you sleep perday? Do you sleep at the same time?

Do you listen to music while coding ?

The biggest problem in improving legacy codebase is that the people who have involved with have been too long and are completely using old techinques and as a new developer you can not change them, they will change you which means its hard to improve.

> Aadhaar has nothing to do with you web activity. It's used as KYC - Know your Customer - for getting the JIO connection. It's optional, and as an alternative you can submit a xerox of any ID documents for your KYC.

You forgot to mention that if you take xerox you will be charged 200 rs and a delay of at-least a week and if you provide Aadhaar you will get almost immediately.

"Also JIO will not use Aadhaar for spying on users browsing activity" is based on trust and not by design. Not everyone trusts Reliance or any corporation because it is run by many people and one human is sufficient to abuse.

For people who are thinking "I like to try but i dont know how it will be useful since i use IDE XYZ all day", start with org-mode. Think org-mode as a tool to manage your todo lists, although it it much more than that.
