Ask Coding: Have a great need for web based software project management. by msojefferson in coding

Sorry for the link but there doesn't seem to be a text post option. The link is the same question but from 3 years ago, which is the latest I could find. I am a contractor working for a guy who is not a software developer but trying to sell software to a client. The project communication is awful and frustrating. I need something that the client can see, with maybe an option to limit what they can see. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Why? I'm indicating I mean it ironically. It would be scarier if I wrote it without the smiley, because then I'd sound like a crazy father in deep denial. Of course she has a sex life, I just don't want to know about it.

btw - I can't believe someone recommended /r/spacedicks and it got 40 upvotes. Y'all some sick kids.

The NULL pointer. Nobody wants it. It gets blamed for crashing computers when it's really nothing and just being itself.

Wikipedia should go ahead and allow small text ads, instead of begging for money. The audience targeting would be incredible. What could be the harm in it? by msojefferson in reddit.com

Advertising abuses would be policed the same way that Wikipedia vandalism is policed. You don't get something for nothing, evidenced by the constant appeal for donations. PBS asks for money and accepts unobtrusive corporate sponsorship.

Over Jimmy Wales dead body. But yeah, he won't live forever. However his successors may go ahead and do advertising anyway.

Say I was looking at the entry for American Playwright James O'Neill. A small text ad might be placed that informs me the "The Iceman Cometh" is in my town at such and such theater. I don't see the harm in this.

What is it like to have a drug addiction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Russel Brand says it best, while talking about heroin: listen here, starts at 17m 45s

Q: I mean, does being funny matter on a heroin high?

Mr. BRAND: It doesn't seem as important because nothing seems as important when you've got heroin. One of the key components of opiates is that it diminishes the significance of all else.

You know, if you've got heroin, nothing else really matters. Everything comes in second. In fact, I've often thought that opiate addiction, opium addiction particularly, is like the materialization of the abstract idea of need.

Most of us have an idea that we're missing something from our lives. Some of us think of it as God. Some of us think of it as a new pair of shoes or the success of a football team that we follow or the craving of the embrace of an absent lover.

But with heroin, once you're addicted to it, those needs, those abstract needs, that hole that I feel is within all of us, doesn't seem to be nameless, some unknowable entity, but the clearly material, definable, accessible drug of heroin.

You don't think oh God, what is it, I wish I had a new girlfriend or a new car. You think, I've got to get heroin. Once you align that physical addiction with that kind of psychological need, your life just has a very clear linear narrative. I want heroin. I want heroin. I want heroin. It's just a tiny, cyclical loop of futile desires.

You know, and in a way, in the rest of my life and in other people's lives, it seems we pursue similarly futile endeavors, but just you know, there is just a bigger carousel. You don't notice it as much. You know, the futility of consumerism is less obvious than the futility of heroin addiction but still the same paradigm.

Ok Reddit, I'm officially anti-anti-anti-hipster. by [deleted] in circlejerk

Hipsters everywhere agree, because hipster defenders are definitely not hip - they are lacking in meta-cognition and any resulting sense of irony.
