Feels like postgres is always the answer. I mean like there's gotta be some edge case somewhere where postgres just can't begin to compete with other more specialized database but I'd think that going from postgres to something else is much easier than the other way around.

Bspwm for me because the config is just any executable file, like a bash script, which makes customizing things and automating things way easier.

It even has a macos counterpart yabai which is good enough for what I do.

Couldn't read past this. This feels almost sociopathic. As if a system failing specifically you means it's flawed.

Also the stock market is not "capitalism" any more than Amazon is "capitalism"

Not that this solves it but we could easily cover a whole state in trees. Have you seen Indiana and Illinois. Those states are entirely made out of corn. At this point it isn't an engineering problem it's just an economic one.

I highly recommend Stargate. They actually go to Atlantis. I know most media outlets have to say Atlantis is "just a story", but if you want the real truth. Go to the Canadians.

Not everyone I know has months of food storage, but I know a couple who lost their job during the pandemic and it helped them get through that.

Food storage is not just for apocalypse type stuff. It's for what the heck ever.

> Gollygee I hope this gets better

It's not. I'm not a history buff so I won't speak for the past. But right now there is a huge accountability problem.

Government literally can't exist without ignoring accountability.

Corporations are incentivised to ignore accountability.

Individuals want to ignore accountability.

You only have control over yourself. If you want your life to go better then you have to take the accountability.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, have backups, understand how the things you participate in work. Ask questions like "why would this be free".

It's a long road for everyone but if you want to be safe and happy you gotta take the solutions into your own hands.

There are two types of PEOPLE, there's lots of different animals /jk

That's because we are too tired to argue.

No ticktock is not a protocol or airspace. It's a company. It would be like banning Disney.

Don't forget WET (write everything twice)

More importantly it can be blamed on the fraudster, and acountability for who missed the fraud is no longer traceable.

The fact that it is possible to cheat means the king has no clothes.

I'm sorry but some calls are synchronous. Even if all the calls between are async it doesn't matter. It won't make things faster for your service to be async when the process is fundamentally async. In fact if there are any bumps along the way and you have to requeue the request it will take longer.

Users don't live at the edges of your tiny microservice they live at the edges of your whole system.

The problem is you can't just arrest your bosses. That would be a military coup.

RTOs generally have nothing to do with any of the things they say. They are just layoffs.

You can't argue with them about the effectiveness of remote work. They aren't trying to optimize work. They are trying to fire people.

Working from home doesn't fire people, being more productive and happy doesn't fire people. Your mental well being doesn't have any bearing on how many people they need to fire.

How to translate JavaScript to Python is a bike shed.

The thing that really matters is how are you going to ship this?

You should figure out if there is a way it can be delivered incrementally.

Make sure it's easy yo roll back from new to old on as small a chunk as possible.

Make sure rollbacks and deploys don't require manual futzing.

Make sure it's easy for outside people to KNOW the status of things without asking you.

Make sure you have a way to coordinate with feature devs on when it's OK to work on a specific chunk.

Make sure you can test if things are working after you deploy a change.

After that you'll probably come up with like 30 ways to translate the code and use all of them until you find one that's actually tollerable.

Yeah that guy

Keeping AI out of your life feels more and more like Daniel refusing the kings food.

Edit: David was the guy in the Shrek song

This is the problem. Right now we're not in the, I need AI to work or get out stage. We're in the AI might completely upend reality stage.

It's just people telling stories to find bigger fools. Like the ads claiming they sell an AI employee that never needs sleep and never talks back.

Those ads are the same thing as those ads shoved in the lawn near the mcdonnalds drive through that look like they were drawn with sharpie, but are really mass printed. "Real estate investor looking for pupil, trade my money" kind of stuff.

They are purposefully looking for suckers that would overlook the sketchyness. They don't want normal people applying, that reduces the pitches effectiveness.

Only desperate people who will fall for anything.

I'm not an expert, but I've worked at a bank and had to go through all the regulatory trainings. I didn't hear about any good regulation other than things that should be covered by regular law. Like apparently there's special regulation about basically not commiting fraud?!

Everything else is some weird sneaky BS.

Again not an expert. Just a guy who had to listen to some awfull training courses.

I did not read it as condecending. I read it as someone who's frustrated.

> unchecked capitalism

Of all the industries in the US Health Care is the MOST regulated. How on earth is that "unchecked"? The problem is the checks are (and always will be) written by the companies.

Nah man he's right.

Because governments are not buying hydrogen busses. They are buying votes and terms.

Just like public companies don't sell stuff they sell shares.

Just like private equity doesn't buy companies they buy loans they can disappear by defaulting a company.

> I knew I was onto something: 90% of the people I explained this to thought I was a moron. The other 10% saw only sheer brilliance.

This is the water witching stick of divine knowledge.

Yeah that's all of open source. Only thing that would separate this from any other open source totp app is how popular it got OR if that open source app was funded by a for profit company like bitwarden is.

No one is going to make you download this.

But they aren't 10x'ers. You could say they are wannabe 10x'ers or 10x mess makers, or "10x'ers".

But can we stop saying people who are good at there job are actually bad at their job and being mediocre actually means you are great?

Like I know I'm being pedantic but this kind of culture is toxic to everyone.

Edit: sorry for ranting under your comment. I'm sure you are a normal person just trying to get through your day. I just had to scream somewhere

Yes agreed. Obviously molecules are not appearing out of thin air.
