I'd pay $13-15 for the doner in the article for sure. (NYC)

You just described two companies that became the ad channels, so they certainly are a bit of an exception. Even Apple, who has the most word-of-mouth viral product line in all history, used advertisements from the beginning.

But why would Google pay YouTube creators out of pocket when the creators are perfectly willing to upload for free, as they have from the beginning?

Not OP, but I also made a party app (unrelated to jitsi). It's barebones, but you can use it free and anonymous at https://zonko.chat

I really love LICEcap, I've been using it for years. It's a simple program that does exactly what it advertises to do, no fluff.

This was fantastic. Played the whole thing. Lots of fun, kudos!

PHI is the same as PII: it can be used to identify a patient. It does not apply here.

There are engineers who have to worry about quantum effects that physicists barely understand. I think, by definition, that's harder than Turing-complete software.

Very cool. I was thinking about this space earlier today.

How long does it take for a submission to post to the site? I understand the dashboard is probably an internal tool, but it is quite.... opaque. Also, what does "Domain to Publish To" mean? I get why Not Real News is on there but I don't understand Techcrunch et al.

I prefer using mocked data in dev. Smaller dataset, no possibility of PII leaks.

I haven't tried this and don't know if it would work -- but depending on the shape of your data and queries, you might not need certain indices. That is, for some workloads (especially if you're thinking of spot instances), it might be overall faster to skip the indexing and allow the query to do a full table scan. It sounds like maybe you never tried the query without the index, so I'm curious to know if there's any weight behind this theory.

He's talking about a specific class of funds that are sold generally to institutions. Think buying funds in "wholesale"; they have low fees, high minimums. Those same funds can be bought "retail" though, with normal fees and typical minimums ($3k-$10k).

He's talking about the "Admiral" class of funds which have lower fees but higher minimums. (And most are $50k min, not 500k). Most of these funds can be bought at lower minimums too, they just have higher fees.

I had one and then one weekend while we were away it broke, flooding my apartment, causing damage to the lobby below, and eventually getting us kicked out.

Hear hear. I do bullet journaling with a pocket-sized softcover moleskin. The notebook lives in my back pocket and it's definitely way better than any app I've ever used.

Check out Bullet journaling. It's a simple checklist plus one or two other "tick types" that's quite helpful.

TBH I don't think so. Screen is great, but overall tmux is better. Screen is often shipped by default with linux OSes so maybe there's some advantage for airgapped machines, etc.

I'm a tmux man myself, but I'm really glad to see that screen is still being actively maintained.

So far so good, already have enough applicants to fill Batch #1!

I custom built it in node. It's a straightforward forum, except with the private groups feature, some modtools for this specific use-case, saving items, and elasticsearch-powered fulltext.

Its best feature is that it doesn't use React or a fancy frontend. It's just server-side rendered, very lightweight, and lightning fast. Still nice and usable though.

Market size isn't a consideration here.. I just like building communities and getting people to help each other. When you're talking about small groups of a dozen people, it doesn't matter so much if there's only 100 or a million in the world.

And I'm certainly open to suggestions on the domain, if you have any ideas!

Just launching. I'm going to fill up the first batch and run just that one for a while. If it's working well I'll start opening up more batches.

I'm hoping for the first batch to include 3 people I know personally, plus a dozen brand-new friends.

Sorry, but I don't think that's part of the 12-factor app. The 12-factor guideline is that apps shouldn't be dependent on implicit dependencies (I dunno, like having imagemagic installed on the system), but instead should use a dependency management system (like NPM or Composer). So I don't think the statement "shared code is an anti-pattern" is true. But I could be wrong, haven't read the 12 factors in a while...

Yes, exactly! Everything old is new again.

I've settled on a compromise in this debate. Halfway between monoliths and microservices is the shared-library model. Instead of creating a microservice for your image processing, break it out into a standalone NPM or Composer or whatever module, then use that in your monolith. Gives you good separation of code and responsibilities, gives you good upgrade paths for your monoliths, avoids the overhead of microservices.

I, like many hobbyist gamedevs, have: 1) built fully bespoke games, 2) built my own game engine, 3) built games using low-ish level libraries (like phaser.js), 4) used game engines. I offer this history to show that I too enjoy writing my own code.

But I love Godot. I struggled with it too, at first, but probably around hour 6 of messing around, it all just clicked: Godot is actually a visual abstraction of object oriented programming. You get to write and extend visual classes, then instantiate them in scenes.

Once it clicked, I realized this is exactly what I wanted. An engine that knows how to do physics, 2d, 3d, etc, and gives me very fine grained control over how objects in this universe behave (basically, anything you can code, you can attach to a node).

So based on what you wrote above, I think you would actually like Godot. There is a steep learning cliff, but once you get past that Godot lives at just the right level of abstraction. Doesn't do too much, but does the stuff you shouldn't have to worry about.

Actually, the key point is that they aren't using perplexity. They built a chatbot that aims to maximize "SSA" (Sensibleness and Specificity Average), and then found that SSA is correlated with perplexity.

I've been on Royal Caribbean multiple times and the food is very good.

Those piles of food are feeding a small city for a week, and probably more efficiently too.

I practice surgical teams because of TMMM.
