I think the problem is that people just aren't willing to make sacrifices. Just look at how these threads go, someone will suggest that maybe we should stop flying around the globe for fun, stop demanding access to fresh fruit year round, eat less meat, not upgrade our iPhone every 6 months, etc. and what do people do? They say, "oh, but I'm just a drop in the bucket". Everyone is very much for someone else making sacrifices, as long as it isn't them. And that's why we're doomed. Hopefully, the next go at global civilization can learn from our mistakes.
It still is insanely fast, from my perspective. I get at least 50 Mbps down, which is just crazy which you think about the fact that it's a low power handheld device. Enough to stream 4k video, if I wanted to (I don't). More than enough to load even the absurdly large web framework of the month in less than a second. I can't see ever wanting faster Internet on my phone.

We don't have any indication that the OP took any form of flight to get to the coral. There is not enough detail within that post to shame them for their carbon footprint, and such ire would be better directed at the ~100 companies that are responsible for 70% of emissions.
From what I have read about T-Mobile's home internet pilot, the pricing might be similar to a cable modem and the service will be geo-restricted to a subscriber location. This makes sense, as they can do more efficient capacity planning when they know that the bulk-consumers will be at fixed locations.

It will be interesting to see what kind of price-bundling options they might offer, if any, to combine this fixed wireless subscription with a mobile phone subscription.
Your mileage may vary but there’s a real opportunity for the latest technologies to save you work and headache.

My own one-man startup Trunk[0] is very infrastructure heavy so I’m super thankful for technologies like Docker. You don’t have to go full-blown Kubernetes but there are various small wins you can still have. Need to upgrade a piece of your stack? Just build a new container a deploy it! Need to bring up all your services in development? `docker-compose up`! And with Docker Swarm, it’s super easy to scale up background job and application processes across multiple cloud instances. I can’t imagine doing this without Docker.

When getting a business off the ground, it’s extremely important you do customer development and not new technology development. When running a business however, new technology can become a competitive advantage and help you move faster. Just make sure it’s really doing that.

Yes, when ideas become fashionable, they become the conventional wisdom.
They do have user/password authentication though, which is something that barebones ElasticSearch doesn't normally have out of the box by default.
Super ironic too, considering they are working on blocking in-page JS popups like this and there's an addon to report them. https://github.com/ehsan/popup-reporter
These aren't show stopping problems.

Web pages and browser extensions are pretty low barrier to entry.

Exchanging cost is not too bad, but probably the biggest hurdle still.

Privacy I don't think is a problem here. One random address to another is good enough for these type of transactions.

Pegging to another currency means centralization, though that is acceptable to plenty of people.

You said you wished there was a solution, all I'm saying is there is a clear path to how it could be done.

you forgot to take into account that most phones are replaced because they break - usually their display gets smashed.
In this case budget phones come ahead too:

Let's say you drop your phone after 2 years of use.

If you got an iPhone X you need to spend around $300 on a screen replacement or sell if for $200.

If you got a 2 year old $300 phone you just buy a new for $300 (or do the replacement for $150.)

But anyway I really dont see a reason why someone would get a $500+ phone. I has better hardware (which most people wont make use of) and better design/bragging rights.
What can do a $1000 phone better? A better camera (for most should not matter, instagram/facebook compresses your fancy images to shitty JPGs), a faster CPU/RAM (nowadays its barely noticeable unless you play stuff like Fortnite on your phone)

I experienced something like this earlier this year, when I read about the massive loss of flying insect life. It was deep enough that I am pretty sure that I went through an identity crisis, and through the books by Yuval Noah Harari (adding a layer of abstraction to human organization, and a new way to look at identity for me), classes like "Learning How to Learn" (which took away the sense that I was static, or just too stupid to become a researcher and be able to help in the near future), and "Enlightenment Now" by Steven Pinker (teaching me to understand that advocacy works, amongst other things), I'm pretty sure I came out a healthier individual on the other side. In fact, I'm not exactly sure about the old version of me at all, it's been quite the journey this year.

I would recommend, even though these awful events are occurring, to read books that encourage positive action (Enlightenment Now) and books that encourage understanding of other people and their viewpoints, even if you find them to be unacceptably obtuse at times: there are many layers of abstraction that people live on, and sometimes you are just at a different one.

Advocate against pollution, and the causes that give rise to it. It will help to bring change, it isn't hopeless.
> I wanted to see what you valued in smartphones to make that comment.

Ah, I see -- then you should have asked that! For anything, what I recommend is not tightly correlated to what I would use myself, because the best solution is very context-dependent. In order to recommend something, I need to know what the requirements are.

In any case, I say that about the Pixel because the camera is really the only significant feature of the Pixels that comes close to justifying the asking price.

My existing (6 year old) smartphone only has another couple of years in it, though, so I've been giving a lot of thought about how to replace it. I've looked hard at the offerings on the market currently, and to be honest, there isn't a single one that appeals to me at all (there are a couple, such as the PinePhone, that look interesting but aren't in production yet).

I've spent a year developing a prototype of a home-built smartphone that does meet my needs, but I've recently decided against going that route at all. Instead, I'm just building a pocket computer (running plain old Linux) and will use a feature phone for my communication needs. Not having to use Android is hugely attractive to me.
Until about six months ago, the only programming I'd done was a little qbasic in my teens - over 20 years ago. What I love most about Go is that I can read someone else's code somewhere, then write my own code based on that, and then months later come back to my own code and actually understand it even without comments.

Maybe in time I'll get advanced enough where I'll miss features in other languages that other people argue about. But for the moment I'm having fun making useful programs in Go.
> You need to download and install software to use current cryptocurrencies. And users hate that.

People already trust companies with their money. If banks supported crypto natively the no-install/web app model works great. The last three points are rendered irrelevant here if banks are able to make the experience easy and guarantee some value.

Those who don't want the protection of a bank are trading off points 1/2/4 for point 3.

I agree. If "access" is a verb, the "to" is superfluous and awkward.

Now you understand why my generation is so truly fucked.

The house will always win if you are in any metropolitan area. In 20 years property prices in Munich, for example, have tripled or quadrupled, if not more. If you're not in a metro area you don't have the rent problem anyway.

> lambda is less work than running django in uwsgi behind self-managed nginx

If you discount building an AWS-specific deployment process that includes "pip install" from an AWS linux machine image, zipping the project, and putting it in S3.
That progressive deployment is neat and all, but I'm not convinced that's a problem that actually existed. More importantly, I'm definitely not convinced it's a big enough feature to drive a significant amount of developers to sacrifice the ecosystem benefit from using a popular/open-source language to use a proprietary language that only works on one proprietary cloud host.

Like how is that a 10x improvement on modifying a Lambda function in something like Netlify and clicking "Deploy"? And just "Rollback" if it goes wrong? For most products, which have relatively small user counts, they don't gain much from gradual rollouts.

I love the "cards", or at least, the step in that direction.

Just like Apple Numbers, it seems to point to a future paradigm of software development IDE experiences. Something a lot more freeform, flowy, than a traditional file/tabs UI. Some files are 2k lines long, some are 10 lines long; some are text, some are data; it's time we stop cramming everything into the same square file editing box. I think there is room for a lot of innovation here in the UX of developer tools.

Was very excited to see that.
Pure Mathematician.
Agreeing with another response: I have a vimrc that I've accumulated over something like 20 years, I kept putting off switching to Neovim because I anticipated it would be a headache, and in the end it only required something like half an hour to make the switch, probably less. I would classify it as "easy peasy".
I always buy budget Android phones the problem for me is the longevity. They simply start having lots of issues (both hardware and software) very fast. I haven't had a phone that has lasted more than a year.
To be honest, I find it extremely frustrating to write anything non-trivial in Python (or any dynamically typed language, for that matter).
Some people enjoy being alone, others don't. You don't know in which group you are until you experience it.
Unlike you, I wasn't running my own business, I was just working remotely for a company where the HQ was on a +12h timezone. I felt the exact same way, even if I was working from a coworking space.
We definitely need platform legislation for the web.

After a certain size, they should be regulated as public utilities. So many companies completely depend on Amazon's platform for their business and they're all easy prey for the behemoth.

I did some work for a company that sells batteries on Amazon. A simple dispute got them suspended across the board. A decision made by a third rate employee from god knows where, probably without even a cursory reading of the case, made in a split second, brought down a company with 10 years in the market and hundreds of employees.

No due process, no rights, nothing. You can't defend yourself, they just shut you down and then you have to beg for weeks to be let back in. After weeks and hundreds of thousands in losses, you have no legal recourse against a wrongful suspension.

You can make the argument that they could just set up their own online store for the batteries and you're right, they can. But amazon and ebay are so big that its practically impossible to sell these things at scale without them. Its not a fair game and this is but one of the issues.

They definitely need to be treated as public utilities after a certain amount of users.

Why you're getting downvoted is beyond me. Because yes, same point.

It's a water resource that's being exported at a potential unsafe rate compared to it being replenished. Which can have devastating impact on the environment. We already have sinkhole problems here in Florida.

Hell, look at water exported for LA and Las Vegas. Actually, just look up water exportation in general and see a lot of the problems it develops. It's not just an American thing.

Economically countries are linked. You can say how these things 'should' be, but do you only buy food that was produced locally? You have to think about the incentives all the way through.
Shopify seems like something that should have been done 15 years ago. It is just a website that allows anyone to set up a digital storefront for a monthly fee. The fee part is the most lucrative. Most people set up the store and sell little or nothing and forget to cancel , so Shopify keeps printing $ from the recurring subs, much like AOL does.

The store still buys those items from them. Some bigger stores will force the vendor to offer a buyback guarantee, but while the product is on their shelves, the store owns them.

Not OP, however it is fine. I worked in a similar stack as OP with a small team (however it used Ruby/Hanami instead of Python/Django, and of course the difference between both stacks). The code had ~100k LOC for the main service (we also had some other services that had dozen of thousands LOC) and it was completely fine to maintain. Most errors we had wouldn't be avoided by static typed since they're logic errors, not programming errors.

Sure I prefer static languages nowadays since I work in a much bigger company, however I think the benefits of static languages is overhyped.

Agree on both points. You shouldn't have to, but if you live in the US you very often so, because customer service staff are chronically underpaid.

The full answer is legislative, so make sure these people are paid appropriately. The short term answer is that yes, until the problem is fixed we do have to concern ourselves with how other people are paid.
Hey, thanks for building LN. I was actually admiring the site design just yesterday while I scrolled through some episodes. "Dang, I hope I can build something like this one day."

> willing to sacrifice the ecosystem you get from open-source/widely adopted languages/frameworks for a marginal amount of convenience over something like Netlify

Obviously, no one is going to leave something that's good for something that's slightly better with a ton of downsides.

So either:
1) Dark is a lot better, like way way way better than what's come before, or
2) it's not, and no-one will use Dark.

We can probably agree that one of these two are true, right?
That's not the case. Take a look at amazonbasics monitor arms - they're rebadged ergotrons.
This presentation had an outsize influence on my professional development as a programmer. If I've watched it once (and I have), I've watched it a dozen times.

edit: The "Limits" slide (go to 12:30 in the vid) is one that I really internalized early on. And looking at it again years later, the principles from that slide absolutely guide my app development:

- We can only hope to make reliable those things we can understand

- We can only consider a few things at a time

- Intertwined things must be considered together

- Complexity undermines understanding

It may be, but that's beside the point.
We absolutely want everyone using Dark, so jacking the price like this would be extremely counter productive. If we did that, no-one would start using Dark after that.

I refuse to rate Uber drivers, and I refuse to tip them. As long as you didn't screw up big time (which would mean a report to Uber), you are fine. Force close the app and it all goes away. I can't stand this individual rating black-mirror dystopia.
The true barbarism is caring so little about the welfare of your fellow human that you'll deprive them of money they deserve as some kind of broad societal punishment.

Pass laws that make sure customer service workers are paid a fair wage. Then you can stop tipping.
Do you need a brand new language to solve that problem though? That sounds like something solved by a FaaS platform that exposes a database and other common primitives out of the box, of which plenty are popping up all over the place.

If we're talking about a front-end dev, they're probably using React, in ES/Typescript. Any backend product targeting these devs would be nuts to not start by offering a JS environment, I would think.

Hence why every FaaS thus far starts with a Node env.
My understanding is that we already had the notes, we just recognized that they're Milton's, is that correct?
writing a script in 10 minutes has virtually no impact in my life but you bet yo ass I'm charging for it
React is "boring" now, too. (And good for it.)
The only time I ever tried to sell some stuff on Ebay, I had a very weird experience. I put it up for auction with a minimum, and a week later someone won the auction at what I thought was a decent price. Then... they deleted their account instead of paying for the item. I raised the issue with Ebay, and they gave me a credit in the amount I had paid for the listing. So I listed it again, and someone won the auction once again ... and the same thing happened! They deleted their entire Ebay account instead of paying for the item they presumably had wanted to purchase.

At that point I gave up. I think I have $14 in Ebay seller credit still in my account from 10 years ago. My guess is that there was some kind of malfunction or someone was using a bot to bid on particular products. Weird experience. I've moved to selling stuff on Craigslist, and never had a problem with a sale.

They do that with their content also. There is no way to only see prime videos. They constantly push their paid content onto the main feed. On top of that there is no way to restrict purchase or gate it with a password on smart TVs so it’s a bad experience. Of course amazon doesn’t much care about user experience.

I didn't think so. So claims like:

Which I find to be pretty common among fans of strongly typed functional languages, is incorrect.
Well I don't know about faster than 5G, but for my rural location it's a lifesaver. I get a steady 60Mbps down, 12-15 up, which is just a tad better than my previous 0.3Mbps ADSL. It's kind of amazing and is literally what enables me to live where I do (ie. for remote work).

4g here is also far better than the shithouse fake NBN foisted on us by our far-right government, which loathes and fears any technology more recent than coal & witch burning.
That analysis ignores the costs of breakage, theft, care plan, or insurance excess.

To get the best money for a second hand phone, you also need a good case (which is another sunken cost).

It can make sense, but pay attention to to other costs, because they add up.

I also do what the GP does: buy mid-range Android phones (Nokia at present, used to buy Moto), and give them to family and friends after a few years.

On topic: Nokia phones have a phone jack and have Android One (2 years version update, 3 years security, plus many more years of secure browsing).
What if the price without jacking was still too much? Disclose the data. Disclose the scalability.

I've built some stores for clients with Shopify's Slate[1] tool, which was a better dev experience than I had expected. I was pretty surprised and disappointed to see that they put it in "low maintenance" mode while still in beta. Hope they'll pick it up again soon.
