Yep. Looks like it's now called "1for.one". Their CEO has a stock photo on LinkedIn and owned a mining corp.

I'm curious - If you don't mind sharing, how long have you been day trading and what has your percentage return been?

"Where did my money go" budgeting has never worked for me. I've been way more successful with planning ahead every $ of income as I get it and then manually tracking expenses. Budgeting had to become an actual activity for me, and not just something done automatically by a webapp. I'm a huge shill for YNAB[0]. The software is really nice but basically it's a glorified (paid) spreadsheet. My fiance and I agree that the methodology it forces you to use, though, has easily saved us thousands so far.

It's like watching a primitive civilization independently re-invent the modern world's technology. This poses ethical questions. Should we have intervened and told them about Maven, when we see them still struggling with their version of Ant?

For a project that goes a bit deeper (branching, i/o, etc) consider writing a Chip8 simulator. There's lots of games written in chip8 bytecode to test with!

I think that's exactly it. We use js so we can unite against a common enemy & build solidarity among the team :-)

Ah! I had this same(-ish) idea but couldn't figure out how to write it. And when I realized how much time I was spending on Fizz Buzz forced myself to stop.

I'd say I'm pretty decent at not accidentally clicking banner ads. But for some reason I've been redirected to the Uber app installation page a dozen times when I was just trying to scroll through text (on the same sites). Either I have some adware or uber is paying to js/meta-redirect me.

The small heading "Blind Requests Assistance" should probably be rephrased. You don't wanna use a disability as a noun like that.

When I was learning web development, it was such a PITA learning rails and dealing with all the ops stuff at the same time (so I could show friends my stuff, on a real domain and everything). I envy the kiddos that can just hit the "deploy to azure" button or whatever now. (This reads like an ad for microsoft but I promise I don't work there :)

Wow, I'm not familiar with this film studio, but this is a terrible move on their part. I don't go to the movies much anyway, but I'm gonna try to avoid paying for any of their films, and I urge everyone who cares about an open internet to do the same.
