But are there any moral corporations left? It feels like you can just keep running.

You will see that there will be exactly zero backlash outside of hacker news.

They do not need their first adopters anymore.

Your url does not work for me (404), this one does: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/am-i-logged-in-or-not-gdpr-ca...

Yes, in some cases.

Like thermostats. I've read about Nest thermostat crash on loss of Internet connection which result in dangerous temperature loss in infants room. We can make those thinks more robust for years, but it does not have an app and does not make so much money.

Food supply was original comment. Most people do not have food for week. (I compare it to always stocked pantry of my grandparents). Any small - one week - disruption can result in big problems for some.

But we are moving to hi-tech just in time system everywhere, which are dependent on Internet, GPS, advanced forecasting etc. Those systems can be for example hacked and not functional for days.

I don't care about Amazon delivery being late.

There is no money to be made in making systems more robust, not until problem really arises. This worries me great deal.

Yes, I can either be social or ecological. As my family lives in different parts of country, it dictates car travel (public transport is really bad). Even just volunteering usually requires me to travel by car somewhere.

I try to live simply, it always gave me great pleasure, or at least less stress to own little. But I moved away from this a bit recently as I have family and also I feel like I should be less dependent on surrounding (ie. have good tools, have some backup items etc.).

I did some changes (work from home, smallish energy efficient house), but it seems like not enough in any sense as I still travel by car, I buy a lot of plastic packaged stuff and overall if everyone (whole planet) lived like me, we would likely be in way worse trouble than we are.

This actually paralyses me a bit.

Nice vacation? All I think is footprint I'm making and how I'm destroying that very beautiful nature I wanted to visit.

Start enterprise? I'll just add another CO2 to provide people with service they don't really need to survive.

Like this new gadget? I can't buy it, I don't need it and again, just another item in vicious cycle or consumption.

But what can I do. I want my enjoyment of those stuff back. I want to be motivated to create and experience, yet I can't as I see the other side of that. I want to enjoy good stuff, but I can't.

Owner of Slack instance can request all data, including direct messages, as far as I remember.

Funny, I do opposite. I have reading mode set to white on black.

So, like it's "like to-do list", not "like Trello". That is big difference.

That is just for mammals, not all biomass.

This is really interesting. I live in Czech away from Prague and made a joke on local dev meetup that "I will not work for 22k". Answer was "everyone here wishes to work for 22k". I don't think anyone I know here makes anything close to 100k even in Prague.

I should investigate this bit more to get closer to SF salaries if possible.

SELECT COUNT(*) should be the one which is resolved by index/metadata

From my experience, most of my waiting time is IO, not CPU load. Even simple stuff, such as SELECT COUNT(*) to display total count in grid on big table can take seconds. It does not have to be complicated.

For me, Star Trek future is mix of politics, technology and physics.

In terms of politics, I see just deterioration in my region. We get technology we want (smartphones), but not what we need (carbon sequestration, better food sources). Our current tech is ruining the planet.

And as a developer, I see a lot of new and different, but little better. But that might be also connected to my world view already.

I'm glad to see I'm not only one very conservative about real technology progress. I'd love to see star-trek future, but I just do not believe in it anymore.

I've seen alternative that tries to stay free (https://www.everypocket.com/), but as I have no personal experience with YNAB, I can't tell how different it is or how many functions are missing. I still use Excel sheet

Can you explain (or link some source) why is Virtual DOM wrong? Actually curious.

I've tried hyperapp and liked it a lot. I loved that can read full source code and actually understand what it is doing under the hood.

Being genius helps with that.

I tried using org-mode, but I would actually like simpler/reinvented version of it.

What I read is "I use extension that prevents your site to work normally, but you should fix it".

Looks awesome. Can it use CMYK colors? That is killer feature for print centers.

And since Apollo 11, nothing. Can be for lack of trying, but likely it's also that low hanging fruit has been picked and it's really difficult to continue.

Flux helps just with one part. Relax in evening due to removal of blue light. But second part is, that in morning and during day, you really should see blue/full spectrum and intensive light. Either by going outside, or you can buy some light therapy lamp that provides you with this (when natural light is impossible). I do not think it's good idea to deprive yourself of blue light whole day.

Windows 10 now supports flux-like behavior (night light) out of box. I no longer have need to even install flux. Not sure about Apple.

I'd expect they will just send you link to view message in browser. So you will not be able to view message normally unless you use Gmail and that is probably goal of this feature.

You said it great. It's not only "i can still buy anything anytime and all my energies and water work" and "Mad Max". Being prepared does not mean I expect Mad Max world.

Because then again you are not prepared for raiders as you have fewer manpower to defend yourself.
