Dial it back man.

I enjoyed the first portion of the article until the 1/3 of the screen was taken over by a call to subscribe to their newsletter.

I can certainly relate to feeling the happiest at work when I writing more code and dealing with less deployment/maintenance work.

I also feel the happiest when my manager or his boss has expressed that the project I am working on is important for X reasons. It isn't just the request to make this my top priority but also the increased attention that tends to come with that declaration. It feels nice to know that someone actually cares about a feature I am writing and when they say "Top Priority" they mean it and do their best to deal with all the process related "stuff" , ensure that I get rapid feedback and responses from other groups as fast as possible. It really kills the "flow" to be stuck on a portion of the project that can't go forward until the SQL DBA decides to check there email.

I've expressed in the past that I often feel like a code monkey churning out units of work and I think most of that comes down to a lack of recognition for things I am working on or realizing that what I am working on just isn't that important. I can't tell if I just like the attention of working on "important" projects or if the important projects just happen to be the most fun.

I am a bright shining star and I just want someone to say thank you (mild sarcasm)

I'll be curious to hear opinions from more experienced Software Devs, I came from a production support team where we did quite a bit of "high profile" firefighting and moved into Dev 1-2 years ago. Dev is certainly more... mundane.

I couldn't agree more. I used to jailbreak my phone just for f.lux when it used to be easier.

So happy it is being cloned but it would've be nice if it was just on the AppStore to begin with.

How about if you didn't have to jailbreak your phone in order to install non-App Store software?

Done [with caveats].

You can compile and sideload any software yourself using XCode and an AppleID. I run Gamma Thingy (a f.lux alternative) on my non-jailbroken iPhone. You can compile and run emulators, use any private API, whatever. Those apps will just never be in the App Store.

Thanks for the explanation.

It is a good point. I recently got a company provided phone and I strongly considered getting an iPhone, especially since it's the dominant platform at my company and most internal apps are developed for it exclusively. However, I started tallying up what functionalities I would have to give up and decided against it, a flux like program being one of them.

I don't understand what is being exploited?

The end-user, of course.

"Surreptitious spying is all the rage. Everybody is doing it."

I would wager that your attention to security as it relates to addons puts you in the minorty when compared to the Firefox user base.

It is great that you are security aware but what about the masses?

Aye - seems very "eggs in one basket"-e.

I could see folks that are starting a new business with relatively few employees and no immediate plans for explosive non-remote worker growth being interested though.

As for me, I don't have a reason to move to a small city without many non-related work activities to engage in. I like the city life. I understand that others would embrace the slower-paced outdoor Montana life style. However, for me it is not a selling point :(

Looks Nice. Do you find yourself trading bitcoin often?

I am unfamiliar with the bitcoin bot atmosphere but I am guessing it isn't a stretch to assume that other bots exist, what made you decide to write your own?

I built this bot during the winter of 2013/14. Back then I remember being able to find open source bots only for cross-exchange arbitrage. What I needed was something simple and purely for speculation (plus for Bitstamp). Nowadays the bot scene might be very different, and also BTC price is much more stable.

I tried it. I wasn't a fan of streaming @ 15 FPS w/ a max bitrate of 1,500 Kbps.

Sorry you didnt have a good experience. :/ Did you have problems with your stream quality? Normally our setting should be enough to have a good quality stream and if you have trouble you can get some help from our support team on skype to make sure your screen is clear and readable.

It is my understanding that the title on Hacker News is meant to match the actual title of the article.

Can you select the geographical region the test is run from? i never found it useful to have a test run from a random geog area. I want to have the same test run from multiple locations every polling period.
