which also sidesteps some (not all) paywall blocking markups.
No question, just want to say thanks! I've had a lot of false starts trying game tutorials but the ones I found for Bevy were really easy to follow. I was working two versions behind and the changelog for Bevy was so well done that I was able to figure out most of what changed. Bevy was also just straightforward to use.
I was one of two developers on a team of 30 analysts and I would regularly get requests to add employee details (name, manager, director, email) to various spreadsheets. It wasn't difficult but it was a tedious process that took away from far more interesting problems.
Eventually I built a small web app that would allow a user to upload their spreadsheet and have employee details added based on some identifier. It was an enterprise so there was at least three unique ways to match someone. I wrote most of it in one night and spent evenings fixing bugs for a week. While it was very useful, it wasn't "core business" so I didn't get to spend any work time making upgrades.
Eight years later, I still get an occasional email but I no longer have access to the source or server. Definitely a lesson in how long shitty code an live.
> Even more interestingly, because I work in a timezone 9 hours separated from my colleagues I've always wanted to be able to hand over work. In other words, 2 people working on the same story. 1 person works during the night and the other person works during the day. They hand over the code in the morning and the evening. Using the TODO list techniques I was using in the kata (and making sure to end the day on a failing test), I've actually been able to accomplish this with like minded colleagues. It's actually quite incredible. Probably I should write a blog post about it ;-)
I would definitely be very interested in this. Seems like a smart way to work remote or on personal projects.
OK. I'll do it. I've been resisting re-awakening my blog because I have too many other things to do, but it's probably time. Sometime in the nearish future (give me a week anyway ;-) ), take a look at http://mikekchar.github.io/portfolio//index.html. If you don't notice any changes since 2013, feel free to email me and kick my ass ;-)
Vancouver had a big win in the last year where they tore up a railway going north to south (Broadway to 70th) and turned it into a mixed use path. One of the biggest reasons I started cycling this year.
This is surely the weirdest governmental communication ever. I'm fascinated by the idea that someone had to tell the NSC and White House, "NSA wants to rickroll the Russian government using DoJ-owned bitcoins seized from a dark web drugs-and-assassinations forum." Evidently our branch of the multiverse is a pasteup being collaboratively written by Grant Morrison, Charlie Stross and Neal Stephenson.
Thank you! It is blocked by uBlock Origin as well. So if you are seeing the article but without any visualizations check your ad blocker. Definitely not a good sign for a startup.
Edit: Also, they claim insights about what influences productivity. However the visualizations shown (after you disable adblocking) do not reflect the claimed insights.
Edit2: Downvote this all you want. I assume you have a personal stake, and I doubt you will make it disappear -- they are valid criticisms. Maybe responding would be more constructive.
Edit3: Hey Colby, thanks for responding (can't respond directly). Turning uBlock off and reloading may have been coincident with visualization showing back up. Maybe overtaxed servers with the front page HN spot? (Congrats btw).
I have nothing to do with this startup but from your comments I don't think you read the article very carefully. Also it's unfair to blame them for what your browser plugins did.
uBlock Origin ("uBO") isn't blocking the visualisations on that page. The only way I could reproduce such issue is by blocking 1st-party scripts, definitely not a default settings in uBO.
