Check out WebRTC stuff. New standard that enables p2p streaming using plain JavaScript and web browser

Yep. Need something changed, sprinkle some !important's all over your CSS and you're good to go!

@DeveloperACE the point is moot. Node.js turned JavaScript into a general purpose language, so you can write any program using it nowadays.
Java is old and outdated and definitely not the best choice for back-end language. If they use Java applets that's even worse.
Clojure, Scala and several other languages run on JVM and provide a lot better alternatives. -
Most of the time we do fix their problems because we can apply a little common sense and googling skills
The one I hate even more:
"oh you have htop and tmux open. Help me hack this person/organization I don't like"
Me: *facepalm* -
@TyIsI I recently signed up for meetups website, but haven't had chance to go yet. And I'm thinking of taking a few courses on Coursera, but not sure how much employers would appreciate their certificates

Sometimes it can be an advantage.
When there's no senior developer to pick up your slack, in certain cases it lets you learn more things on your own. Also a lot easier to bullshit management.
But for most cases it does suck. -
I'm in same boat...Rounding and finances are gay.
But my boss is illiterate so doesn't care if the data is actually correct...Which is pretty scary.
Maybe arbitrary precision number library can work in your case? -
@mak420 @mak420 I live in Florida. If I was stopped in the neighboring county, they would let me go most likely without even a fine. I got stopped in a adjacent suburb county, where they still arrest people for it.
I'm curious, where are you from? -
Best thing that ever happened to me.
Failed to quit multiple times.
But spending a night in jail and dropped $3k on lawyer did the trick. Just wish it happened sooner -
Most of freelancing sites are flooded with cheap oversees labor, but a lot of them suck at communication and don't know what they're doing.
If you find projects in your area, people will pay big money for clear communication, and being able to have face-to-face meetings. -
Naming things is the hardest part of our jobs. Everything else is easy in comparison

How do you guys bounce multiple projects? I feel like when I try to do more than 1 project at a time, neither once get done.
I feel like I can only hold so much information in my brain, and it's usually only enough for one project at a time -

Golden advise! I'm taking notes. I just joined telegram, but I can't figure out the slack thing (please don't hate, I still run Skype in a Windows VM)

Thanks for kind words!
First I started with C++, and I really enjoy working on low-level stuff: compilers, interpreters, and OSes.
I enjoy using high level functional languages like Haskell, or clojure and wrote a scheme-like lisp interpreter with a toy graphics environment in rust (my aim was to use it to teach my younger brothers programming, but it's a lot easier to teach them CS concepts with Arduino).
I usually frequent ycombinator's hacker news, but I feel like community has moved away from hacking for fun, to making companies that generate money.
That's why Im really excited about this community. I want to switch my focus from making business to working on cool tools.
I love re-inventing wheels, and I don't like gluing libraries together. But when I need to ship something, my first choice is usually Python.
I have wasted a lot of time smoking pot (having friends was fun), so I want to challenge my brain with math.
