Try XgeneCloud : https://github.com/xgenecloud/xgenecloud - its free & open source.

With XgeneCloud,

* You can generate REST/GraphQL APIs instantly on any database (MySQL, PG, MSSQL, SQLite)

* And deploy entire backend into a single Serverless function! (AWS Lambda, GCP CLoud fn, Azure Function Compute)

* Has a built in GUI tool for Database design and API debugging as well.

Idea is you get to pass the boring bits (CRUD et al) and invest time into business parts of application.

Is your role is to develop the plan directly or to develop the engine that builds and adjusts the plan and sustains its clarity?

If the latter means finding people who have talents that work well together, and ensuring they have focused-time and access-to-people they need.

Note that there is a difference between saying "we should do this!" a bunch and actually allocating resources to do it. America didn't land on the moon because of Kennedy's speech at Rice University. America landed on the moon because of bills that got passed in appropriations.

Wow, I must be a complete idiot with this stuff because I can't get people to give me even 150 bucks for a full website right now. How do you actually get these 150/hr clients? Please don't tell me I need to work in Silicon Valley for some years and get the "contacts", cause I don't want to live in the US anymore.
Tell you what, here's my site: https://www.andeswebdesign.com, if you like it, just send me all your work and I'll do the whole site for you for an hour of your pay.

I've never made a cent off of that PhD either, so maybe you're the guy who breaks it all open for me.
Story of Debugging a Crash in MPD
Web performance

This is an underappreciated field that lends to plenty of consulting. As the web becomes more complex, with heavy frontend code, third party services, and demanding amounts of images and videos, it's requiring a deeper understanding about networking and browsers to keep the web performant. Compounding the problem is the growing number of users who use mobile devices to browse the web, which have larger constraints on network and hardware than desktop users.

Additionally, web performance speaks to businesses because a "slow" website can impact your bottom line. There's lots of case studies about this: https://wpostats.com. For large companies with heavily-trafficked websites, this is critical as you're losing potential users/customers as a %.

Google has slowly been making it a bigger objective for websites to focus on SEO-wise, especially with their latest push around "web vitals." Therefore it's becoming a higher priority for marketing departments as well.

Web performance is not sexy and requires a lot of patience around analyzing websites to figure out why they're slow and coming up with specific optimizations for them. This is not like building websites. It's more like debugging. And it requires a pretty deep understanding of how websites load and run in browsers. Provided these things, I think that's partially why it's given so little attention and why so many websites perform terribly. If you're not deterred by these factors, there's a lot of businesses that could use this specialized expertise.
I switched to a 60% keyboard a few months ago. I've been surprised how easy the transition has been. One of the things I wish there were more is split space bar 60% boards. I have one of the few, and it really helps when your layer switch is an easy thumb press away.

The main reason I wrote this was to counter some libertarian ideas/zeitgeist. The original draft (from, ehm, maybe 2 years ago) was titled "The libertarian fallacy", but I felt this didn't do service since libertarianism is quite broad (indeed, I have quite a few libertarian leanings myself).

The second reason is indeed that I do plan to write some other things to point out some of the FSFs failings as I see them, both in their philosophy and some more pragmatical things, and the appreciation of the complexity of "freedom" is one of them.

I agree that as it stands it's not well argumented, but this will be an article on its own (soon™, although a kind of proto-draft is available as some comments I made at [1]). I have this kind of complex dependency tree in my head on what to write in what order.

I hate how you phrase this as a "smear campaign" though. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I do expect people to recognise I'm arguing in good faith, and "smear campaign" implies that I don't.

> It could happen to you when you least expect it - be warned.

No, it couldn't. Last time I used an AirBnb was 2017 in Japan and I will never, ever do so again.

Even if two of three places were OK, what came to light about the company as essentially a societal parasite would (and did) stop me of giving them any more business.

But in addition to, in my opinion, bad karma there are very practical reasons to just book a hotel room and not having to put up with a laundry list of crap.

What I mostly resent is having to tiptoe around other guests or neighbors, who are quite rightfully annoyed about an illegal hotel in their shared building.

Then there's the fact that you don't really have an idea into what you actually get. It can be fine, or it can be a pretty crummy place.

Hotels usually also don't hide surveillance equipment, or even if it's specified in a listing I don't want any fucking cameras pointed into my direction in the privacy of a room for which I paid.

There are no additional cleaning charges tacked to your stay. The advertised room rate is what I pay for (save for that insane "resort fee" you only find in America and which is borderline fraud to begin with).

Not only is it extremely convenient to pick up your key at a well staffed reception. The staff can also function as an on-location trouble shooter if something goes wrong.

And that the prices are so good is ancient history at best. In areas with high demand Airbnb prices are usually not cheaper than hotels. Especially when you factor in the hassle and the cleaning fees.

Finally, I can book exactly what I want in the price range I want and know pretty precisely what to expect. If I want to splurge I'll chose the LeMeridien in town, if money is more of a concern I go to the local Ibis.

But you know what? I know that both of them provide a really good bed. Something I never really enjoyed in an Airbnb.

So no, I really don't have to reckon with bad reviews destroying my travel plans.
The fact that the economy shrank is due to covid response.

The fact that the economy shrank 22% over the last year rather than 12% in Germany or 10% in the US (a 10% growth difference is _enormous_!) is up to Brexit and government ministers selected not on the back of competence but by picking from the strongest Brexit advocates.

I'd say the most interesting way to approach this at the moment would be to use RasPi 4s and link them via the PCI express bus.

None of this stuff is more than educational, though. I admire this build because it's almost a rite of passage for nerds to build a cluster, but when you're all done and the cool wears off you've basically got a pile of obsolete hardware for which you need to find a home.

Assuming for a second its USD $2k, that is all you would take as a person presumably with a family/partner to Paris from Taiwan? What are you talking about? You would need a couple grand just to be safe and cover the basics then you would need a couple more for the hotel in a presumably nice place.

Then when you're likely going to have to declare the cash youre taking (probably $5k+ just for yourself) at both airports and if you don't you'll be committing some crime or be harassed / delayed for it.

It no longer becomes enjoyable or feasible for a regular person to do this type of thing. Now if you had millions of dollars and could book own private jet I'd agree with it just being a small detail.
Oh man, I did a similar thing in grad school, but I made the mistake of trying to keep both layouts in my head. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I couldn't seem to do it. I finally committed to Dvorak and it has scored me some nerd cred over the years.

Interestingly, numbers and symbols continued to trip me up, and they are one of the few areas of overlap between QWERTY and Dvorak. I finally switched to a blank keyboard and that did seem to help.

Congrats on the launch. Are there plans for SDKs in various languages or is this going to be JS only for now?

Why I ask is that I like the simplicity of Firebase as a back-end and attempted to use Google Auth for a desktop app (in C++). It was a pain to setup and still doesn’t work well.

It would save us a great deal of dev effort if there was a layer which could talk to Google and handle this for me.

P.S. The part about trusting a ‘startup’ with auth tokens may be worth addressing in some way on your website.

Google search for "microsd erase block size"[0]

From a forum post in raspberrypi.org[1]:

> My 16 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro 45 MB/s UHS 1 card reports an erase block size of 4 MB.

> My 8 GB Transcend SDHC Class 6 150x card reports an erase block size of 4 MB.

> My 2 GB Transcend SD 150x card reports an erase block size of 8 kB.

.

From another post from StackExchange.com[2]:

> the data cannot be overwritten without being erased first and an erase block is the smallest unit that a NAND flash storage can erase. The erase block size is typically between 128 kB and 2 MB.

.

According to a Micron Technical Note from 2006[3]:

> The NAND Flash device discussed in this technical note is based on a 2Gb asynchronous SLC device and its parameters (unless otherwise noted).

> The NAND Flash array is grouped into a series of blocks, which are the smallest erasable entities in a NAND Flash device.

> A NAND Flash block is 128KB. Erasing a block sets all bits to 1 (and all bytes to FFh). Programming is necessary to change erased bits from 1 to 0. The smallest entity that can be programmed is a byte.

(Note: 2 gigabits = 256 MB)

.

In a more modern TLC 3D NAND chip from 2016[4]:

> Block Size 27,888K bytes

or 27.888MB

Why Is the 2x2 Interesting?
And? Do you have any particular problems with any actual insights in the book? Do you think the medical industry is forward-thinking or adverse to new ways of thinking in general? I don't want this guy removing my appendix, but there are many cases of people outside or peripheral to a domain without qualifications that make a huge impact on a particular area and lead the way for more research -- and we are all aware of the medical establishment's lack of proper training when it comes to nutrition.

There is touch typing and correct touch typing. "Home row" and friends is the latter. I'm typing pretty fast with all ten fingers in both German and Russian layouts, however, I've never became friends with classical touch typing. This circumstance make using split keyboards impossible for me, since I tend to cover more of the keyboard with my right hand than considered "correct".
After they leave the drum circle, they transfer the health risk to all the store clerks and medical personnel they approach.

> I’m really confused by this whole thread and just want to clarify. “Touch typing” just means typing “correctly” right? As in with your fingers on the home row and reaching to type fluently?

Yeah, "touch-typing" is incorrectly used to refer to home-row touch-typing by people who hadn't learned another style.

I use a totally different one, with my left hand resting on roughly shift-a-w-d and my right on j-i-o-; which requires little to no twisting to reach every key. I think I'm also more likely to lift my hands than home-row typists I've seen - those keys are just resting positions between typing bursts, not actually where I move my fingers back to while typing. The whole thing is based on the edges of the keyboard, rather than the nubs on the f and j keys.
