It's called Patreon.

It's the only choice. Or they will be blocked, period.


Yes that's just what we need, more paymetons exclusive content.


I think it was, and could have been a part of the game.

For instance, add one more vector-graphic guru to the team and they could kludge or slice new features in.

Kudos to open software devs! Lots of work.


A few of my friends have had similar experiences at the circus.

We all went when we were very young, so it's a whirlwind experience for kids.

Then as we got older -- like 8 or older -- it was better to go to the Zoo to see the animals.


AFAIK, it's not a story, it's not lore, it's a song with funny lyrics.

Personally I prefer music without lyrics, since they rarely make sense or matter... the singing is just another instrument to me.


The song is about the singer taking a ship to Jamaica to return to the girl they can't stop thinking about. Spending the whole trip dreaming about her and wanting to get there sooner.

Who Louie Louie is is never clarified. It could be the girl, but could also be the ship or the captain being urged to go faster.


Sometimes they sing the words differently. I've noticed other bands doing this.

I.E. "refresherator" instead of "refrigerator" on "I Want My MTV" by Dire Straits.


Are you sure you're not just mishearing this? (And the song is "Money for Nothing", by the way.)

I initially relied on books, then around 2000 joined the small communities online that were popping up. IRC had lots of programmer areas for chatting.


Amazon started with books, if I remember correctly.

Then they expanded which many businesses do.

Musk is a bit different.


Businesses expand, but not in the way the article describes. Most businesses pick segments to expand into, whereas Amazon expands into everything that they touch.


It could be rational: usually due to preconceived ideas of class, or perhaps product quality.


My portfolio works for me. Then during the interview I really sell myself.


What does a developers portfolio entail? I'm a motion graphic designer and when I apply for jobs I send a demo reel of my work. Which is a 1 minute video with snippets of my best stuff set to music. Is there something similar developers send along with resumes?


Played fine in Safari on my iPad mini 2. Fully upgraded OS.
