> Really a shame that Amazon does not seem to care much about this, maybe a chance for the smaller shops to take back some lost business though. I find that I buy more in smaller e-commerce shops, because I find they're much less affected by the review fraud and often ship things just as fast as Amazon.

And this will effectively be Amazon's undoing. Given how much central power and authority they control over global retail, this is a good thing. Competition is good for the consumer.
My desire to learn how this works still applies.

But if I'm dealing with this sort of thing in outside of my homelab it'd be nice to see how it all works. I figure that learning how the CSR dance works in my homelab will help me understand how it works in the real world.
Fully interact with the operating system API/SDK, not just a subset of it.

you map the source directory as a volume and then run the editor outside the container.
Have you taken a look at NixOps[1] and Disnix[2]? They extend the concepts of Nix and NixOS into networks of machines and distributed services (TL;DR version).

If you are using only one system, the NixOS containers support might be enough, though.

Sure, it's a good exercise in infrastructure.

3Mbps doesn't sound much, but that's constant bandwidth. I have a 15 minute commute, which would make each journey about 400MB of data. That adds up quite fast especially on a mobile contract.
> The lack of oats to feed horses may have inspired the German inventor Karl Drais to research new ways of horseless transportation, which led to the invention of the draisine or velocipede. This was the ancestor of the modern bicycle and a step toward mechanized personal transport.

This truly captures the "butterfly effect" which I continually marvel at. How much of what has happened in human history has been because of a seemingly entirely unrelated series of events? Probably quite a lot.
What's your idea of significant, op? Improving upon a fundamental algorithm? Building a billion-dollar company? Creating a ubiquitous open-source tool that makes programming easier for everyone?

You're probably not going to do any of those by being a diligent model employee; it might be you don't really know what you want and are waiting for A Vision that will inspire you, and in the meantime your employer/clients occupy that place temporarily, in addition to providing you with a paycheck. Of course, waiting for the right wave to pick you up and sweep you into the future isn't really satisfying and so you're starting to feel burnout.

In short, it might be worth reviewing your idea of success and then looking at the things you've worked on so far and assessing which ones brought you closer or farther away from that. It could be your anxiety is rooted in uncertainty about where you're going and the feeling of futility that accompanies just swimming along with the current and never arriving anywhere in particular.
Many banks (I'm thinking Capital One 360 here) will give you a line of credit at (reasonable) daily interest. Very useful to keep a low balance in your 'transactional' checking account and let it dip temporarily below zero for a few days at a time, paying a few cents to a dollar in interest for the privilege.
For a similar surface area I think you could just fill your bathtub to an inch deep and wait for it to evaporate. You'll wait a long time, and your bathtub will get gross, just like this object will.

And with the point being power-free, the air is going to be static or nearly so around the object (or bathtub). If it's supposed to get a boost from moving air from a forced-air furnace, that's cheating -- because in that case you could just install a similarly passive flow-through humidifier on that same furnace and be done with it, save perhaps an annual pad change. Many use no power, just the same "capillary and evaporation" as this - except with actual calculations underlying their specifications.
I'd phrase that more specific by saying "by selling what is too high". If something is much higher than when you bought it, but the reasons you had for buying it in the first place are still valid, then you should keep it.
Yeah, which indicates what a terrible false-positive this is. It's like their spam detection is just pattern/behavior based, and entirely unintelligent, censoring even authorized users doing normal things in projects they participate in.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm having to learn linear algebra,calc,basic prob, and brush up on all of my holes in between. I haven't found a direct path, however. What has helped me is this deep learning book[0] which has spelled out very plainly what I need to learn. From there I use a combination of math is fun[1], better explained[2] and 3blue1brown. math is fun really helps by just giving you examples and definitions strictly based on the subject instead of assuming knowledge in another category. better explained helps with intuition. And, 3b1b was second to none for really painting a picture of linear algebra and calc. Even though I've had to watch the videos 3-4 times each to get it, I'm extremely happy with what I've grokked.
One last resource is Eddie Woo[4]. Super clear and enthusiastic intuitive lessons from him teaching highschool and slightly beyond math

Good luck in your journey. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to find the math resources you need at an awkward level. If you happen across even better resources please share.

Also a tip that really has been helping me: when you "read" a math equation, don't simply recite the variable names and numbers. Try to say out loud what they represent. I've found that if I can't then I don't really understand the concept I'm working with.

I've done some initial investigation a while ago. You should be able to attach gdb to a process in a different cgroup.

To more quickly edit configs just make it so your containers build and start quickly. This is very easy to do if you are aware of the docker layer cache.

Hot reload is basically `while (true) build() && restart()`
This is a thing! For example, the Apple Watch doesn't have built-in workouts for Skiing or Cross-Country skiing, presumably because it's not something that, beyond a handful, Apple employees typically do.

> This is true for all pioneers

He wasn't a pioneer, though. It's one thing when people say it can't be physically done, and the people talking have no theoretical basis to support it. People said it would never be possible to fly, but they has zero physics to back up the statement.

It's another when it has been physically done and the physics behind it is well understood. If he believe he was building a faster than engine using some new gravmetric-eletromagnetic effect, well more power to him. We have an ample amount of history on rockets, how to compute the physical performance of them, and a multitude of failure scenarios. This was ignored.

When it came to putting a man on the moon, we used the might of our education to predict everything we could and used hindsight when we failed. Importantly, we built into the systems things that would tell us what was happening so if there was a failure we could learn to not make the same mistake again. Rocket systems fail, which is why you launch them without people first.

Banks are a means to bridge safe-money to risk-having investments.

People with money in the bank do not want to open up their phone to see their bank balance has gone down by X%. People are okay with balances going up, but never going down. Thus banks are offering consumers a risk-less return.

Banks do this by themselves investing in a broad & diversified set of investments. The baseline is government bonds. Next comes government backed home-loans. Finally banks lend to businesses or investment loans. Everything beyond the government bonds requires the bank to take on the risk using their own money.

If you want to offer a "bank" account which exposes their money to risk, what you have invented is a brokerage account. Allowing people to auto-sell their investments is widely considered a bad idea because it leads to regular people leaving and entering the market often. It means incuring transations upon every purchase, and fails to help regular people with their fears.

The number 1 issue facing regular people is a lack of starting-to-invest. The number 2 issue is regular people attempting to time the market, which the surveys show they will do at the worst times.

Trading off issue #1, for issue #2 is an interesting question. I suspect the net result will be worse for consumers. They will see their balance dropping by hundreds of dollars a day on bad days, pull out, then panic buy in the next day.

In the real world such a bank account cannot be offered by a bank, as it is not a bank account. Banks already "invest" all the regular bank account money, the issue facing regular people now is that the world's risk-less rate of return is approaching zero. As such any such auto-investing "bank" account is going to be regulated like the brokerage accounts, at which point we've failed to solve issue #1, the hurdles stopping people are the same open-new-brokerage-account hurdles.
Agreed on nugget. I didn't signup myself and I heard the same from others.

Interesting concept with webase. I'd build a two-sided marketplace template, I do more of those in my agency than anything else
What are they doing for prepping?
Agreed. I started a side project SaaS with the goal of being the top product in it's niche and making enough money that I could live on it passively (if needed) and I accomplished that. I do think you should be highly interested in the subject, so not doing only for the money. And also don't underestimate the value of recruiting subject matter experts to help you.

But when I look at side projects for myself, I look at who's making money already in a subject I care about and if I can do it better.

In the things I failed at in the past, I was chasing new things that I wasn't particularly interested in or didn't get the subject matter expertise required to succeed - one had an ad supported business model which just ended up causing me to try creating 2 businesses effectively at once instead of 1. Many people underestimate those things and I did that early on and failed.

As I've gotten older I mostly look at things where I can compete and just outperform versus trying to do something novel. A lot of people come to me w ideas and get discouraged when they find out that competition already exists for their idea.

Very hard to do something entirely new and succeed financially.

I think the fallacy here is assuming that wages are set to be as low as possible.

There seems to be two types of employers - those who think it's prestigious to hire lots of staff and have huge offices, and those who think it's prestigious to make lots of profit with as few staff as possible.

Tech usually falls in the latter. There's also a hell lot of software that needs writing - many of us work good jobs and still "side project" on something. Job shortage won't be a thing any time soon.

It's also one thing where throwing more bodies at a problem might actually make the project slower. Everyone needs the highest quality they can get and have limited slots, much like a sports team. Every time Facebook hires a star engineer, that's one star engineer that isn't working for Snap.

So tech is already incentivized to pay as much as possible. Supply & demand as an economic concept just doesn't work with software.

Exactly. You can be prepared and be wrong every time and be okay. You can ignore preparations just once and that's the end of you and your family.

I am not sure why people are so reluctant to see the risk asymmetry in this.

Kubernetes still almost always uses Docker as the runtime. Docker was late to the party with all the other stuff Kubernetes does. With Amazon, Google and Microsoft all offering managed K8s and Enterprise private cloud offerings too, I don't think unseating K8s as a management plane for cloud-native microservices will be trivial, even if the tech is immature and has valid criticisms.
I’m saying you can take any car for a day trip in snowy climate a few days a year and it will be fine (tires matter more than car in that case). Driving through salted roads every day to work for 3-6 months of the year is a different story.

Here in the Midwest, used cars coming from fair-weather states command a premium over the local options for those reasons.
We very successfully run Kubernetes locally, in CI (via kind) and in npe/prod. There are some differences but they have been reduced over time, very strongly recommend this approach to teams for medium+ complexity apps.

We basically had Kube in prod, so worked backwards to make everything match that as closely as possible, solving the required problems along the way. docker compose for example is less likely to be used in prod and thus a poor choice.
Just a nit, Java Microbenchmark Harness is apart of OpenJDK so it is "first-party".

Presumably there are also people who die abnormally early. Unfortunately I have not seen what we really need to see: a breakdown of dead/recovered by day since infection. Without it there is no way to accurately assess the deathrate in an environment where new people are quickly falling ill.

In my humble opinion, frameworks and mostly hotshot languages are akin to celebrities. If I asked hey I was away for 10 years spending time in remote island and just came back to LA what changed ? Nothing changes in the main business. We’ve got few celebs come and go Toby Maguire, Lin-Manuel Miranda aka React. They still need to bring back Ahnold for Terminator (looking at you C) or Tom Cruise for MI (looking at you C++). The industry is the same, you need inputs film money and people to generate outputs that people enjoy.
First, you should get rid of them. Really.

That failing, learn to set up virtual networks (vlan as mentioned earlier) properly. Put rules to prevent a device from scanning and initiating connections to other devices. And despite all the work, you will always be vulnerable if your switch or whichever network device doing the filtering has a zero day ...or let's be honest, have a 739-day, because nobody patch home network gear

So, that's why you should not use outdated android devices and specially "crappy IOT devices" as you put it.

Accept your phone has an expiration date because you were fine buying it "with the hood welded" in the first place. You can either dump them at an e-waste site or sell on the used market. Either way you are going to pass your problem to someone less privileged than you. Sucks to be them.

I personally mail my devices to the manufacturer, without a return address. It's their problem now.
As a backend developer who makes frontends for his projects, I enjoy Svelte. I found React to be quite complex when I tried learning it last year.

You have limited founder slots. Put them in an employee or consultant slot. You can still give them equity, but probably a low amount. Startups are full of risks, and there will be many more situations where deserters will cause harm.

On the other hand, I have offered 50% share to people to do little. Sometimes you need an anchor to keep moving, but the part-time co-founder can be a poor anchor.

I'm not sure it's even a compelling alternative to C++ at this point. The borrow checker is sometimes unpredictable and hard to reason about and the language syntax is not always consistent. I think we will see more adoption in the future but there are reasons why it has not been adopted as much as one would have expected.
Both eBay and Amazon have abandoned their own core business models and are trying to become second-rate clones of Alibaba.

Then every time you try to make a purchase as a former prime user you will hit failed captcha after failed captcha, and a mandatory "would you like to try prime" window with a 'no thanks' click through in size 8 font. Sometimes I have to use a different browser if I fail the captcha too many times and amazon crudely attempts to lock me out.

This is a fantastic comment.

I think the end result is maybe more banks should have more brokerage functionality, as the line between brokerages and banks blur, but you need top notch UX to do this to communicate what is checking, what is FDIC savings (and when you have “enough” cash equivalents on hand to start filling other accounts), what is prime money market, and what is investment grade bonds and equities (in that order of investment operations; for argument’s sake, let’s just call it VTSAX total market). Throw in a line of credit underwritten by your income history and credit file if you want to shoot the moon; this would avoid selling investment assets to bridge between when you’re short and your next income event.

You’re essentially creating a roboadvisor for personal finance, constantly optimizing based on your income, expenses, cash on hand, and liquid/semi liquid assets. I would love such a product. Reminds me of what BankSimple could’ve been before the BBVA exit.
This is the best landing page/documentation I've seen in a while. The examples with detailed comments are really outstanding.
Having the environment containerized, you can run the software on your hardware in conditions equivalent to production. That’s it; whether or not your IDE also uses the environment inside the container doesn’t detract from that.

Personally, I don’t care for auto-completion or go-to-definition, but I want to be as sure as possible that if my software doesn’t break in development then it won’t break in staging and production.
I don't know what the site author did to make it so the zoom button doesn't adjust the font size but I implore anyone similarly tempted: please don't do this.

> Besides people just thinking it must be random and if I spend hours all day thinking about this it seems like it cannot happen because it's an impossibility.

It's not just people thinking it must be random or it isn't random. Literally every single experiment ever conducted has failed to turn up any evidence of a deterministic process underlying the apparent randomness of quantum mechanics. We can't keep this hope alive indefinitely just because our thinking is warped by everyday experience appearing classical and discrete. We have absolutely no reason to demand our universe be deterministic, and every reason to conclude it isn't. We need to reject the idea that our universe is intuitive to human minds.

For example, Bell's Theorem rules out local hidden variables. General Relativity says spacetime is warped in non-visualizable ways and that simultaneity is not even universal. That should be enough of a mindfuck for us to discard our puny human understanding of things, yet we don't.
