I also sell 3d printed models online so I've made like 20+ e-commerce websites so far. Most of them are niche website and get 5-10 sales each and some even get zero sales but some websites are seasonal in nature and in some season or event, they blow up in sales.

I am trying to capture this windfall but Shopify is not good for this task.

They charge per store so I am limited to just having one store which is not good for niche work - exploration and discovery.
I worked on but didn't design the control algorithm for a zone controller where each of the five zones interacted with each other because they were part of a six foot tall quartz tube. There was compensation for the heating elements being nonlinear. And because the thermal mass was basically nothing radiation losses dominated it's behavior. Some of the control variables were squared then scaled. And zero overshoot was allowed for the hottest zone. And because it was a batch process it had to heat up quick.

I had to re-tune one after they replaced the quartz chamber.

Blah.
Didn’t Apple write a letter saying something along the lines of “running to the press will not help your case” ?

I’m almost sure they issued guidelines that included something just like that.
when you have three introverts and one extrovert talking you end up with the extrovert talking and introverts listening. All the introverts have agreed by minute 2 and are itching to get to work. Meanwhile the extrovert elaborates for a further 25 minutes on some philosophies and generalisms and the introverts eyes are glazed over.

There is truth to this and it runs deep in the DNA of the two companies.

On stage years ago [1] [2] Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were asked what they wish they had learned sooner that the other guy did first. Gates ventured that he would give a lot to have Steve’s taste. Jobs responded that he wish he were as good as Bill at partnering with others.

These were more than off-the-cuff compliments. They speak to Apple’s DNA as a design company focused on UX, and Microsoft’s DNA as a platforms company.

You underestimate the ingenuity of some sites.

Take this one: https://systemschimb.telekombanking.ro/login - enter a random user id, and behold the password input field:

- all characters are separated (not one password field, but 10-15 ones)

- some characters are randomly grayed-out (you're not supposed to enter all the characters of your password)
So what would be the the most simple and cheap non-self-hosted shop and site architecture for small businesses that would enable sales globally?

Are there any tutorials/blog posts on this topic?
> ...would require a giant effort of developer opt-in...

I'm not sure how true that is, there are a ton of workflows that can run solely on iPads. The problem is largely physical form factor and a little bit of UX smoothing for desktop computing on bigger screens.

I don't see it as a forgone conclusion that ARM Macs need to bring over the legacy software, why can't they just use what's present in iOS? If I want to design a form, I care less about the name on the app than I do about how well it works.

I think a lot of desktop MacOS developers are in for a very rude awakening about how irreplaceable their apps really are.
> I don't think Apple really cares that much if developers decide not to sign up

The will be forced to. The mac is the only exclusive developer platform for the money making iDevice lineup. Just as Microsoft found the hard way towards the end of the Ballmer era, if your only developer platform is a burning platform the developers hate with a passion, you are going to have a hard time.
Code Review Etiquettes Can Shape Your Team Culture
A hot take: I'd argue that in that case Haskell is not the right tool for the job, anything with assembler support is (C++/Rust).

Haskell is still awesome in doing practical computer science and an eye opener in the power of types, but you are going to throw most of the power away of you start to rely on things that are not formally verified. As soon as you are in "this is semi-correct and semi-defined" you might as well use another tool and let Haskell try to focus on the "100% correct, given x,y and z"-crowd.

I know, I know this is a very simplified view, and it's not 100% correct, but that is what I want Haskell to strive for.
This is a small eco chamber after all. The billions willingly share all their “private” stuff on FB and Google, which are concentrating orders of magnitute more data than any legit or fraudulent data company on the planet, and putting them out of business in the process.

This makes me wonder if they could charge $99/year on their website but $999/year via in-app purchase. Basically a price so high that no one would realistically buy it from within the app.

It technically fulfills the requirements specified in the review guidelines but I suspect it would be frowned upon.
Biomass as an energy source is limited by net primary productivity. Humans already appropriate a large portion of this (~20%), and total fossil fuel consumption would roughly double this (inexact numbers, it's been a while since I've looked at this).

Factoring in typical assumptions of population and economic growth, and the picture darkens further.

We simply don't have available biomass to power the present economy, let alone one with more people of net higher average wealth. There are reasons humans switched from renewable to nonrenewable energy resources. Unfortunately the practice is unsustainable on several fronts.

When approaching strangers, saying something appreciative in a respectful way is neutral at absolute worst and quite amazing at best.

Case in point:

Andrew Tanenbaum: I said that his work was amazing and thanked him. He shrugged me off. I think he felt busy or didn’t care. I was happy that he listened.

Jane McGonigal: retweeted my question while I had 0 followers and followed about 10 people.

A semi-famous Dutch rapper: he was appreciative.

I have many examples with non-famous people too. The rule applies to both. I originally learned it as a dating concept (a decade ago) but quickly decided to compliment anyone that I genuinely wanted to give a compliment.

The reason it can still be quite amazing is simply because strangers don’t dare to compliment other people that much. I have only seen it once from another person.

You can test this theory by giving a compliment to someone you think never receives it but deserves one (my go to: cleaners, especially if it’s really clean) and to someone who does receive them more often.

My experience: both can still be quite awesome but the cleaners I complimented really went out of their way to be appreciative (not always, just sometimes). One even invited me to his home and I discovered he also was a music producer on the side. We made some music together as I am a hobbyist myself.

I never looked at cleaners the same way again.

Several people mentioned Magento already. For your project, I'd stongly add suggest you should ignore that. While Magento has loads of features build it, it also misses some, I'd consider important. You can not create a custom invoice template out of the box for example.

If you are a somewhat experienced developer, Sylius might give you a good experience and code quality. We build a shop on an earlier version, and it runs solid - not a single downtime in years.
They did consider and ruled out KangarooTwelve, which has basically the same properties of BLAKE3 while being derived from Keccak (therefore, with more chances of ending up as a US federal standard).
Think of an armored car depot like an Amazon warehouse. You can't just pop in and pick up a bottle of hand soap, no matter how big of a customer you are.

Linear regression isn't exclusive to statistics.

One can, for example, find a chapter on linear regression in most machine learning textbooks, without reference to statistics.

I've been on both sides of the fence, but it's always the statisticians who take the perspective of, "yeah, well you didn't study model diagnostics, ANOVA, QQ plots, ... so you don't know linear regression".

Linear regression as described in this post (which is pretty much what you find in Andrew Ng's famed machine learning course) can be used as an introductory stepping stone to logistic regression, neural networks, etc.
> In the U.K. median households are not net contributors

It seems inherent to a progressive taxation scheme?

The only way I see median households being net contributors is if the taxation and redistribution made money flow from the poorest 50% to the richest 50% (either as cash or as services).

I think a better indicator of how narrow the tax base is would be the percentage of households that are net fiscal contributors.

I second that. Have used saleor for couple of Ecommerce stores. Has enough features to launch a store out of the box while lacking all the features that if incorporated would make the platform extremely complicated. You can take the community edition and extend it to meet your requirements.
And talking about downtime, see that you get a solid webhost. A clients shop had ~1h downtime a day (!) that nobody could explain. Same setup on a new host runs for a couple of weeks now without issues.

The argument is that iOS is not a monopoly because there are other smartphone ecosystems.

It’s obviously ok to be pessimistic, but at least explain why.

Do you think the feature is not going to be very useful in a practical setting?

Do you fear people are going to use it all over the place in libraries and make life harder for their users?

Is there something wrong with this feature in a theoretically basis. Does it need more thought?

Do you think the implementation is broken or not finished? Does it need more work?

Something else?

Maybe the negatives could be mitigated by doing the automated analysis on the client and asking the users if they want to send the feedback, similarly to how crash reports for software are often done.
I was a bit surprised by this exchange:

Q: Should I be more worried about EMP Attacks or solar storms?

A: Opinions differ. But the EMP Commission is more worried about EMP attacks.

Q: Why?

Here's where I expected the answer to be:

A: Because it's the EMP Commission. It's right there in the name. The Solar Storm Commission is down the hall on the right.

Box CLI Maker: Highly Customized Terminal Box Creator
Arsonists and looters have been caught and prosecuted without the use of facial recognition.

Your stance seems to be a common one when new laws and technology are proposed for the stated purpose of fighting crime, as if new thing is analogous to a silver bullet; without it they're essentially powerless, and arguing against is cast as arguing on the side of criminality.

In the specific example of facial recognition, what amused me since the pandemic started gaining pace, is that face masks render facial recognition far less useful than in the few days / weeks prior. So, whilst it may appear that Microsoft and Amazon are 'listening the people's privacy concerns', it might just be that there's so little to gain from it right now, due to the prevalence and increasing social acceptability of face masks, that the social credit they get for abandoning or delaying it is worth more than the potential contracts and social shaming they'd get for continuing to pursue it.
What concerns me primarily is the guilt by association. You also will see criticism about 'normalising' deviant perspectives merely with the act of engaging in debate (which has some merit, but is applied too generally), which would likely condemn many more. There's no way that can end without people with legitimate points being terrified of speaking.
That uninhabited place is stewarded by someone else. It and the people that travel to it are the responsibility of that steward. This often happens to be park rangers or logging companies or whatever. Even if we have been granted the privilege to roam on these lands we do not have a right to go act as we see fit on them. There are always rules.

There is a lot of land that you can buy very dirt cheap and go live as you see fit on it without having to answer to anyone - minus some property taxes. There you can try to bushcraft to your hearts content.

If you've found that sporadically jumping into new work has a negative effect on your overall productivity, are there steps you can take to ignore distractions? Starting with 10 minute meditation sessions might help.[0] Be aware of when random thoughts are taking over and pulling you off task. If your higher-level goal is to focus better it will most likely require an internal change rather than an external force watching you. Although I guess software to block distracting content could help temporarily.

Building up focus and the ability to work in isolation probably takes time. It might help to write your frustrations down in a personal journal to try to identify issues and trends. Maybe the wikihow articles on how to focus would help for some focus strategies?[1]

Getting a friendly desk animal and doing some rubber ducking might help too. :D

Work shouldn't be so adversarial... The way you frame it makes your job sound like it's at odds with your personal development. Maybe your manager would have some ideas? Remote work is weird so lots of people are most likely running into things like this. Engineering people are probably the exception since having isolation for work is usually seen as a good thing.

Wow, these are absolutely brilliant! I've seen some 1800s sociological charting before and it's not very interesting. They seemed to struggle with the idea of visualization at all and resorted to a lot of charts and tables that the reader was to study and interpret, on account of there not being a lot of statistics that were invented yet. These aren't just strangely modern, each one is wonderfully unique and artistic and would be delightfully creative on a modern data-driven site like 538 or in the New York Times. Maybe I just wasn't reading the best turn-of-the-century social science, which is not a field I'm an expert in, but these seem completely out of their time.
This is really insightful. I know it's different when you're talking about private annotations, but in the context of the original dream of public annotations where it was hoped that you would benefit from benevolent and knowledgeable strangers who previously annotated the factual errors in the article you happen to be reading, I think you've absolutely identified the key problem.

This is causing me to realize that the value of Wikipedia is not the fact that the pages are editable by the public; it's that there exists a process (as flawed and controversial as it is) for debating over the various contributions and edits that leads to a single, unified version of any given page. More than anything else, that consolidation process is Wikipedia. A successful consolidation process has to be present in order for any system of public contributions (annotations or otherwise) to produce a coherent result.
Async writing is powerful but unfortunately, it requires also dedicated time slots to achieve it.

When you have the constant pressure from management to do X instead of writing on Y in a limited time, then you have no chance to write beautiful, centralised information. And so, the company itself accumulates technical debt, looses history and precious information that might be speed up people in the future.
