Hi ! Thanks for sharing, it looks very comprehensive.
This seems great, but quite overwhelming for very small companies. Do I need all of that between 0 and 100k ARR ? Do I need any of that in fact ? It seem all the official documents (cash flow statement, profit and loss) are made by the accountant when they are needed.
We don’t, but we do know that there over the about 4 billion years of life, the first 1 to 1.5 billion years were purely prokaryotic. If it was a common thing to have work out, you wouldn’t expect such a massive amount of time before it occurred.

What I’m less confident on is that it’s the only path to complex multicellular life. It’s the step our history took, but it’s possible there are multiple rare pathways to the next step (or possibly different initial conditions could make the eucharyotic union or other options more probable? Just because it was unlikely here doesn’t mean that’s true on all planets).
That's basically LIGO.

> Apple never had desktop world bigger than 10% as market share.

Right but you can differentiate markets.

Apple may be 10% worldwide, including Asian markets like India.

But what is the market for affluent and influential tech workers in the West? Probably like 95% MacBook Pro.

Which market do you think they care more about?

Massive props to Studio 24 for showing their working in public on all of this. It is amazing to see. More large scale projects of this kind should do this sort of thing.

Its really thrilling to see someone think technical decisions out loud. So keep it up, despite what I am about to type!

There are a couple of interesting things in this article.

1. It is absolutely remarkable they got 15 days to rather requirements and choose a CMS. Having worked in a couple of agencies, this is a lot of time, which is to the good W3C paid for it.

2.

> We have very talented front-end developers, however, they are not React experts - nor should they need to be. I believe front-end should be built as standards-compliant HTML/CSS with JavaScript used to enrich functionality where necessary and appropriate.

It makes a lot of sense for websites to be written in HTML/CSS in this progressively enhanced way, but does it make sense for complex user interfaces like any WYSIWYG editor?

Even the Classic Editor basically dropped probably thousands of lines of (actually third party) Javascript into the mix in the form of TinyMCE.

3.

> We won’t stop trying though and plan to do more R&D with Gutenberg in the future. The W3C project, however, did not feel like the right place to do this. On a project as wide-ranging as this one, development time does become a factor.

This is about agency and project risk which is entirely fair enough. However, what is slightly strange, if risk of delivery due to unfamilar technology is a factor, is that the project then goes onto make two other decisions.

- Use Craft

- "We are currently considering a Headless CMS option for front-end page delivery"

It is unclear from this piece if they have much experience using Craft, but my project manager alarm bells are ringing a bit when a team is intending to "deliver project in technology they have no internal expertise in".

Of course, Craft is by all accounts excellent, but could be a source of problems. The judgement is between the technical difficulty of using Gutenberg and learning a whole new CMS as a developer.

Further: the headless CMS option.

Do the team have the experience of doing this? Where I currently work we are actually considering moving back from headless CMS because the current leader in the field, Gatsby, has some pretty major downsides.

One of the reasons is that site build time is terrifically slow. Their approach seems to be roll our own headless thing with Symfony which will presumably do calls in real time. Symfony is very full-featured, but this seems like rolling your own headless framework - who is going to maintain it?

Of course it could be very simple, but launching a project in: an unknown CMS, with an unknown way of doing a website, seems a strange move when one object seems to be reduce technical risk.

It's pretty scummy to claim to be peer-reviewed and scientific but simultaneously not have any studies published for the specific thing that they're selling.

They meant, it occurred once on Earth, or at the very least it has stopped occurring for a few billion years now. That is still staggeringly low odds of a living planet seeing this event.

The same is true of abiogenesis - here we have a planet teeming with life absolutely everywhere we've looked, and yet 0 abiogenesis to be seen anywhere today. So, in general, when seeing a planet like the Earth today, we should expect to find NO life on it, as we already know teh Earth today can't sustain abiogenesis.

To use both systems simultaneously? Dual boot is either one or the other, and even then, adds considerable friction. Many Linux distributions don't support secure boot. Sometimes Windows updates overwrites the Linux bootloader.

First congratulations for reaching where you are! Second, I was exactly where you are from "trap" standpoint and would like to offer couple of things that helped me.

1) Level Up - pick a discipline and practice hard on your free time. Example: It could be becoming a cloud architect (pick aws or azure). There are tons of courses available for free on the company websites/youtube etc... learn theory -> practice -> repeat. Seek a mentor in that career path and keep your progress in check with her/him. There will come a time where you will feel confident to start applying for that position.

(2) Read good code from awesome contributors (open source repositories on Github).

(3) Persist (as you have been) - you had been amazing at switching from your earlier profession to software developer ( kudos to you!). write those good memories and experience and read them everytime you feel low.

(4) Make sure you are physically and mentally fit? Talk to your doctor. Sometime something as simple as proper nutrition / vitamin levels / exercise can do wonders to lift your mood and get you going.

I am no way at the level of being a mentor but reading your story wanted to share my two cents.

I have to say, this is how it looks from my (UK) point of view. The recent Rolling Stone piece [https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/c...] was along similar lines.

We watched a documentary [https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00095p0] recently - pre Trump, pre Covid - but again the picture being painted is one where the US was becoming this wholly divided nation, although this time the division was about financial equality: on the one hand the mega-rich, on the other the super-poor, subsisting at almost 3rd world levels of poverty.

Here's the various impressions: would love to hear viewpoints from anyone who lives there:

- nationwide severe issues with health, particularly around heart disease and obesity but also huge problems with depression and prescription drugs

- an almost unsolveable political split with neither side willing to take on board any kind of compromise with the other

- draconian drug and alcohol laws which are causing way more harm than good

- an out of control gun culture

- a crumbling infrastructure which was last properly invested in in the 60's as there is such widespread dislike of anything that looks like "state control"

- an almost comedically stupid president who stands at least a reasonable chance of getting voted back in in November. Even the suggestion that he might not honour the vote is enough to make one pause and check whether we're talking about the "greatest super power on the planet" or some war-torn 3rd world dictatorship...

- a totally out of control approach to Covid19 which has cause immense numbers of deaths

- an out of balance work/life culture

I should add that I'm no great fan of the UK right now, so I'm not exactly putting us on a pedestal of virtue. The Conservatives are arsehats of the first order; Johnson is a buffoon so obviously out of his depth (and has handled CV19 with similar - but not quite as extreme - levels of stupidity as Trump); we voted for Brexit on the back of a totally skewed and misrepresented lie (and all the evidence is this is going to come back and bite us if - as is likely - we crash out); etc etc - but still, it doesn't look as grim as it does over the pond. Tell me if I'm wrong!
Huge skew depending on what platforms you like to work on. Java or Windows people are significantly less likely to use trad Unix tools. Backend or Linux people, it's 30/30/* in my experience between vim/Emacs/everything else -- this was certainly the case at Google when I was there.
If nothing else, it's likely that a Fox editor would pull an unflattering Trump photo and vice versa. It's hard to imagine an intentional process for making the other side look bad (can you imagine a meeting where that is decided?), but what I described is an organic way in which a systemic process could arise.

Any insight as to why they would back up to some place like Singapore instead of just some other datacenter in the USA? Seems inefficient and likely a loophole for CCP to easily get access to it.

> Developers love themselves some Git, but that's probably not the best content workflow tool for people who will write copy which actually accomplishes the goals of the site (like making sales.) Why do developers in this thread act as if it's going to be developers writing the content?

I never said to expose sales people to Git. Have you tried Netlify CMS? All it's doing is giving non-technical users a pretty frontend to edit posts/pages that are stored as Markdown files on GitHub, so it's user-friendly + developer friendly. Check out the video: https://www.netlifycms.org/

Migrating static sites where the content + theme are all stored in Git is a dream compared to WordPress. A lot of WordPress sites aren't even under source control (with automatic security updates live updating the CMS code with no diffs if something goes wrong or it gets hacked), and because some state is stored in the database and other state stored is in the file system, it makes migrations, upgrades and rollbacks overly complicated.

You could use WordPress as a headless CMS, but you've still got to have a plan for how you're going to backups, rollbacks and deploys for content + custom editor features.
Upvoted this, because I always found rtl-then-down ordering confusing af. On top of that, every generation of windows renamed items, like "Software ...", "Programs ...", "Add/remove programs ...", etc.
Yup. Definitely feels like "how much dev market share can we capture by just putting a nix inside our OS?" Make it performant enough to not even seem like a vm. Then get people to stay on the platform.

I still find windows usage painful and sluggish compared to ubuntu and left in the dust by xubuntu so I'd rather have the reverse with a windows vm.
This kind of sensualism was often defended in the debate, but it has problems, too. I think the history of mathematics makes the position implausible.

For a long time, up until recently, mathematics was way ahead of the applications of mathematics to physics. In Ancient Greece there was a general consensus that infinity and real numbers do not exist. But then some people found out that the side of a triangle must sometimes be a real number. However, you cannot ever measure SQRT(2) precisely. Whatever number you extract from the physical world is only a rough finite approximation. You need to represent the number in a different way and solve the problem algebraically. Many scientists in Ancient Greece rejected this idea vigorously. Still, real numbers are very useful for describing the physical world, so useful that we couldn't possibly do without them today.

Imaginary numbers are another example. They were ridiculed as abstract nonsense when they were described for the first time and widely conceived to have no physical reality or application at all. Despite all that, they play a vital role in modern physics.

There are many more examples like that. To cut a long story short, at least until recently mathematics was always ahead of physics (now they seem to go more in tandem). This fact makes the idea very implausible that mathematical structures are merely useful abstractions from the physical world we invented to describe it. It simply doesn't describe what happened in mathematics. And I find the idea that mathematicians just came up with arbitrary imaginations equally implausible.

> no external authority you can appeal to which will state definitively that when mathematicians all agree on something their experience of "true" is absolutely and objectively correct, and not a distorted and limited artefact of human cognition

That is true for everything, it's just a radical skeptic position. Nevertheless, mathematics has the highest standards of rigor for proofs among all disciplines.

This is wonderful. I love when memes breed philosophy. We're teaching math wrong. It's as plain as day to me. Or rather we teach the wrong maths to the wrong students. If Marcie can't find a useful application on day one of the "theory" she learns in school, what is the point? It's a 19th century curriculum for a 21st century world. Basic accounting and personal finance would probably serve most students better.

As to the epistemological quandary, I always return to Geometry or Visual Mathematics. Consider the infinite ways of calculating the digits of PI. In "Playing Pool with PI", Galperin demonstrated an analog computer that could calculate the digits of PI using only the perfectly elastic collisions of two billiard balls on a pool table. It works for all integral base number systems, and can even be extended to irrational numbers. And recently Google Brain's Adam Brown made an equally stunning observation: Galperin's bouncing billiard balls look identical to the Grover Quantum Search algorithm!

Until recently I was booting into Windows and then remote deskoping into Linux. But Wayland has broken that functionality so badly I have just given up on Linux. When WSL gets this update that will mean I can do development on Linux again for the cross-platform GUI I like tinkering on (LibreOffice).
Yes, and I am probably a bit emotional given the infuriating article, which is affecting how I perceive those pictures
This is also why I try to use the GPL where possible. The move towards permissive licences puts the open source world in the hands of the companies as opposed to having a legal guarantee

Yes. But even more than seeing their space junk, we would have seen evidence of them being on earth in the ground. Civilization changes nature, and when looking through nature, it's very easy to see evidence of civilization. It doesn't look like anything else in nature - right angles, straight lines, clean dividing boundaries, and layers of non-natural debris and junk in the fossil record. There is very clear evidence of a massive asteroid impact 65 million years ago, because there is a layer of iridium in the fossil record that didn't exist before and wasn't natural. In 65 million years, evidence of us being here will be expressed in the fossil record as a layer of hydrocarbons (maybe residue from concrete and steel) from all the hydrocarbons we've pulled out of the earth and released back into the environment.

It's fun to think about civilizations coming before us, but we're the first terrans to reach the level of technical sophistication so that we can change the world on a global scale. Period.
This mixing made sense to me (I'm in the US) but you're right that it's odd.

Drinking cups and mugs are often sold in oz units in the US, but if you have a measuring scale and cup, g an ml are sometimes more precisely reported/demarcated. I also think buying ingredients online sometimes increasingly is in metric.

The US is increasingly more mixed in unit use than is acknowledged. Temp and speed are the main holdouts.

[As an additional later comment, I also realized I don't like measurements for recipes in oz because it can be confusing if it's referring to weight or volume.]
In principle I do care about the fundamental model being correct - that can often bubble up to fewer (or cleaner) edge cases. Without help though, or many hours of usage I can't mentally map that model to what it is actually going to be like to use.

I do wish they would show us some examples. I would not be hard to convince that CCP would like to brainwash Gen Z into being sympathizers. Some of the interviews I've see with protestors who don't have a clue about the real roots of what they're protesting for has me a bit skeptical of some of the white protestors for BLM. The black youth seem to be much more informed on what they're protesting for. A lot of the white kids just seem to be angry at the world.
Because of this I just figured out why white noise is truly random and can’t communicate any data. I wasn’t thinking of it intuitively that way before even knowing conceptually of randomness and entropy and Cosmic background radiation.

Thanks!

Interesting...

If white noise “exists” and is constantly being received does it have an energetic value? Hmm.
> but is also scared about Microsoft's strategy here?

Scared of what?

I have spent years either in Window's inferior environment for development or having to dual boot or running something like VMWare workstation. I do that because linux is inferior for gaming/entertainment. I have never "enjoyed" a single linux desktop environment, I spend the majority of my time coding or running stuff on terminal.

I'm in my 40s and tired of going back and forth between the two. WSL has been a godsend

Linux has as much to be scared about from Microsoft as Microsoft has to be scared of Linux gaming
