would you trust fox news' fact checkers? do you think fox news viewers would trust yours? any fact checking apparatus would immediately become politically contested and unworkable in the best case scenario; in the worst case, we have a privatized ministry of truth that acts unilaterally. why would you trust facebook with anything approaching control of political discourse after the experience of the last election? are you naive to think that the 'fact checkers' will always be on your side? if you are, do you think your opponents will just sit there and let them control discourse?
That's all fine and dandy until they get some copyright infringement complaints, Google takes away all of their money, and they have nobody to complain to since Google doesn't have people.
SSR is definitely the best bet, but because you say that's not an option, I'm assuming you're just hosting static files without a proper server. In that case, a static site generator might be an option.

For React it seems that Gatsby is very popular: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/

Depending on the complexity of your hobby project it might even be feasible to write a simple script that runs node, outputs HTML files for each of your pages, and uploads them to online storage.

You might look into GitHub Pages too, although I'm not familiar with its capabilities: https://pages.github.com/

It absolutely is extremely useful. Your genetic predispositions toward disease, treatment response, anything really, can be due to a combination of these known variants. Tracing your ancestry is done with these variants. These are regions that are commonly variable in the population.

I'm sure Killock's tongue was firmly in his cheek when he said this, but of course Patel is unlikely to experience either emotion. A lot of the UK political establishment have an attitude of "one rule for us, another for the hoi polloi". Patel is certainly not an exception.
To be honest, I have little faith in GCP. I really wanted to use GCP for my next side project. I wanted to experiment with a new platform and I did not want to get stuck with AWS.

I tried and tried ... but I eventually gave up and went back to AWS. GCP lacks of good, simple, clear documentation, developer documentation, best practices. Their offer is very confusing: just look at the whole firebase thing in regard to user authentication + firestore vs datastore.

Switching to AWS made things way easier, there are tons of people out there
that most likely have already solved most of the issues you can run into
when developing and deploying a service on AWS.
Surely you’re trolling. This is not the place for it because, by any objective measure, despotic regimes are worse places to live.
It's interesting for a new account to have such a strongly opinioned, eloquent, and top voted comment on such a controversial topic.
That seems a vanishingly impossible standard of truth. None of the companies affected want people to know they were affected, and the people within the national security complex are unlikely to hand out physical evidence.
It's a good question - I don't know the specifics of their implementations, but there are SQLite adapters for RxDB and PouchDB which both have a focus on realtime functionality. YMMV but I found them both pretty good for small implementations

is it just veteran care thats broken? Is active duty the same issue?

We spend $843 per capita on just Administrative expenses in the US on healthcare. Its like 7-10% of Healthcare expenses.

I'm curious what sorts of things you had running and how complex moving off was. I'd expect any cut to have some announcement period, which I'd expect to be longer than a few months, so you may not have needed to migrate so soon.

Honestly, I don't know if teams and projects should be a part of SaaS. If so, in which context?

I wonder, how are you going to charge? Is your product is app or it's SaaS itself? And I think $9.99/month is very low price.

Any link to share? ;-)

Good luck!
Ha! This is awesome! I did something similar in 2016, and called it something silly like SaaS-in-Box, but after integrating security, and Blueprints and multi-tenancy and caching, and ... (I do think I ran into some problem with blueprints, actually), ... I finally decided I was inventing Django-on-Flask and that it probably didn't solve as many problems as I originally thought it would.

BUT! That said - I think there is a solution gap here. Keep it up!

Working longer hours at more jobs just to make ends meet, while the people at the top add more 0’s to their bank account, health care costs rising while income is stagnant or worse. Shouldn’t be that surprising, really, though my comment is an oversimplification.

The “economic impact” being the focus leaves a bad taste in my mouth; it’s the economic impact itself thats making it worse, if not outright causing it.

This is correct, but at the time there weren't really any competitors with an app ecosystem. Furthermore, the original iPhone was just a better phone than the dumbphones of the day. The bar is a lot higher in 2019 than it was when the first iPhone launched.

Wouldn't you be paying for all the R&D that was required after using the genetic info to develop a treatment.

If the treatment ends up costing $100k, the genetic info you provided resulted in a discount from infinite dollars to an actual finite amount.

That's a pretty big discount.

The G203 has onboard memory (which also includes RGB light state / startup effect and DPI steps), so once you have your settings right you can just store the profile in the mouse and uninstall the software.

The latest version of the Logitech software (G HUB) doesn't make this feature obvious though, you have to set a local profile then click the gear icon > my gear > click the mouse image > switch on on-board memory mode > click Slot 1 (Default) > click replace with [the profile you just customized, usually Desktop (default.)

The old Logitech Gaming Software was much simpler in this regard.

it really wouldn't be hard. person goes to a cafe, train station, and a store. grab probable hair sample from cafe, train station, and store. run pcr on 5 fingerprinting markers (kids do this in ap bio, not hard). if all three samplings match, that's probably your guy.
Indeed, Azure to me seems to be focused on achieving success on absolutely anything else besides technical quality and competency. Their strategy seems to be acquiring every certification and qualification under the sun so that they can be the only legally viable option for many large customers.

FWIW VPN is insufficient for youtube.tv; in addition to geo-ip it requires your browser to report a location. IIRC there's a firefox addon that can report an arbitrary location.

IANAL, but it seems to me intentionally instructing your browser to report a false location in order to get access to services you would otherwise be denied would count as wire-fraud.
Hasura is an amazing tool. I tried with triggers + NOTIFY at the start, which was how Hasura does it (at least last I looked). I ran into the limitations of NOTIFY, which can only have a 8000 byte payload.

The recommended resolution online was just to send a NOTIFY with a Primary key or identifier, then to query the database for the resource that changed. I didn't like this approach because it required more load on the database.

One other advantage of using the WAL is that you don't have to set up then triggers everytime you set up a table. You just set and wal_level to "logical" on the database and then all your tables will be included in the stream replication

I graduated from a programming bootcamp about 6 years ago. I decided to go into full CS degree but my bootcamp instructors said to me "it is a waste of time and will cost you a lot of opportunity cost".

A lot of my friends from that bootcamp without CS degree already have good careers as engineering managers, senior staff software engineers at startups, or regular engineers (around junior and mid level) at Facebook/Google, some of them are content enough and stop improving, some of them are still improving. Meanwhile I still failed the interviews. (For some reason I have a history with many rejections. I got rejections 9 times from programming bootcamps and admitted into one, that changed my life. I also got rejected twice from a programming bootcamp that was known for "anyone can get in").

I didn't regret a thing. I'm glad I studied CS. (Disclaimer: I had 2 other unrelated degrees: Industrial Engineering and Biblical Theology, this is my 3rd career change). For now, even though I already graduated and worked at a decent paying job, I just started to revisit compiler and want to study all in about it.

In my opinion, tech field moves really fast, even a hardcore techies will have hard time and regularly experienced burnouts due to the fast nature of the field (cough cough, frontend dev and devops). But as long as you have passion, you can still be the last persons standing. It will last you a long time. I think people with passions will go above and beyond of what is expected from the regular job to practice his/her craft, and the world can't get enough of people like that.

As long as it is fun, would you mind? I don't mind. If CS pay only half of what it pays right now, I would still do it.

I look at my skills compared to the earning potential of some other trades. This is certainly not 100% accurate because it’s based on what I pay in more rural America but I like it:

Barber - 3 cuts per hour @ $20 ea = $60 / hour

Mechanic - $60-80 per hour

Lawn Care - $40 / yard up to 3-4 yards per hour = $40-$120 per hour

Steam cleaning = $150 for a couch = $150 per hour (carpets are less)

Plumbers in East Tennessee = $60 - $80 per hour

Roofers = $40-60 per hour

So when I freelance I charge $75-$125 per hour without a second thought. If my employer pays every developer on a 10 person team $120k that’s still paying less than most mechanics would charge at $60/hour and a much better return than $25/hr off shore with all the communication lag and issues and quality issues. I never worry about competing with offshore. There’s a time and a place for cheap “just get it done” help and it usually costs more in the long run in delays and rework.
Canada did that with dairy products. Fair is fair.
In my experience, the competition is pidgin slash outlook communicator slash whatever brain dead enterprise messaging app. Not slack (or hipchat or...). Mattermost has seen a lot of adoption atthe Big Dumb Corps I’ve seen.

That’s my take on the market at least. I’d buy stock in it if I could.

Some rambling about access, transparency and "open"-things

Most people don't know that under the terms of most democracies, in principle, any citizen has the right to go to any public office and request basically anything non-classified: documents, accounts, etc. The idea being that the State is but the expression of the sovereignty of the People.

Obviously, no one believes for one minute that any 'normal' citizen will be granted access to most things. It's just an artefact of idealism you hear in law classes and political activism circles I suppose (and it's grey-ish-ly somewhat applicable at the lowest, local level).

It would be interesting to see a new breed of "open-sourced" businesses granting access to customers (like States would to citizens), businesses whose value resides not in secret sauce — things like accounting, plumbing or VPN are probably "solved" matters of public knowledge. Because they can afford almost total transparency, they may as well weaponize it against rivals who can't — or won't. In markets where trust is anywhere from high-value to mission critical, this might just open wide a whole new blue ocean.

For as long as I can remember now, every Netflix experience boils down to spending 15-30 minutes looking for something remotely interesting before finally giving up and reading a book or playing a video game instead.

> Am I missing something? If so, what?

Potentially a couple things:

1. The center of the Bell curve is a fairly inexperienced user. My experience is a bit outdated, but something like 75% of inquiries get solved by the script. You get pretty close with "Maybe simple reboot fixes comprise 95% of issues and so that's what support does" - it's simple wifi and computer problems, app-specific issues (try a different browser? try email?), etc.

2. The impact from providing crappy support is very low. The few experienced users will slog through it. Also, there's a relatively weak correlation between customers who think they're technical and have spotted a problem, and customers who have actually spotted a problem. An example from when I ran an IXP: People who email traceroutes with stars, not understanding that some devices don't generate TTL exceeded messages… or even what a TTL is… but being completely certain (a) it's a problem, and (b) it's the cause of their (completely unrelated) problem.

3. The price premium that individual customers are willing to pay for great - or even decent - support is small and short-lived. Often the support for business-grade service actually does skip the first tier "Read from a script" support because the numbers work. Even somewhat knowledgeable people are expensive; assume a fully-burdened rate of $1/minute to talk with someone with basic networking CCNA-level knowledge. That person still wouldn't be able to login to devices or do meaningful troubleshooting.

You're also assuming that they don't know about a problem, rather than that they know about it and are trying to solve it (or have decided it's not worth solving, though that's actually more rare than people often think). You might be right, but there aren't many large networks which don't do their own blackbox latency and loss measurements (in addition to polling for link usage, loss, etc.).

So, there's not a technical reason, but it's also not an accident nor a case of ISPs acting illogically.
This is great and I love Rust, but

> However, when working directly with the hardware, which has no knowledge of Rust’s guarantees, it is necessary to work in Rust’s unsafe mode, which allows some additional behaviors, but requires the developer to uphold certain correctness guarantees manually.

If the whole code will be wrapped in unsafe blocks, then what is the point of using Rust?
Thumb buttons + shift mode.

The only reason I haven't advocated replacing Slack with IRC is it lacks a sensible way of keeping history. Everyone either has to keep their client running and connected all the time (usually this is only feasible with tmux/screen on a server), rely on bouncer hacks, or something like IRCCloud which maintains the connection for you but is proprietary and not self-hostable.
Cloud computing is massively profitable.
>I've yet to be convinced that they couldn't just be replaced by a fancy IRC client that supports markdown, autoloads images n' stuff.

Google is not dumb and realizes this, which is why they're pushing so many tools that prevent vendor lock-in. K8s entire pitch is you can seamlessly go from a cloud offering to your locally managed K8s in a datacenter. Our (small) company has done it, it works very smoothly.

Their 'serverless' batch/stream processing works this way as well, with Apache Beam you can deploy effortlessly to GCP for large compute jobs (i've spun up hundreds of nodes in minutes), and also run it against on prem spark clusters with zero code changes.

So Google realizes being late to the game means they have to offer something more, and what they're offering is a lack of vendor lock in.

Yeah, in terms of what she did I would agree it wasn't terribly harmful; and I applaud her for taking a principled stand. I just don't really blame management for saying: that was a step too far, you're out. I mean, unionizing is a super sensitive topic at any company, and by adding the message to the tool it added extra weight to the message by making it look like it was endorsed by the higher ups, rather than being a message from a 21 year old. There's no way management is going to be happy that someone is essentially acting as their voice on a topic that is very sensitive.

What drives me insane is why are not people using WebRTC for video game client-server communication on the web. It works similar to UDP but controlled, so the security risks are significantly reduced. Now with simple-peer there's an easy way to implement this in the server, and you can have the same engine running on node and on the browser as well.
