Big no, I dislike everything about this - the assumed necessity of such a product or the implication that it does any good, the uncertainty of whether I'm reading has been censored at any given time, some vaguely undefined measure of toxic/negative, the probabilistic outcome of an NLP classification model, my browsing history being either sent off somewhere with every click (or having to run the model locally)...

This is a civil platform so I really struggle to express in writing how much I dislike this. However, based on experience there might a number of consultancies that would pay a lot of money for someone to develop this (or get paid for it depending on the company). It's so deeply slimy that I suspect it has already happened in many of those places.

This is infuriating. Not just for the hypocrisy, which is par for the course already, but it gives credence to the argument of “these restrictions are stupid” because you can point at these people who have trouble following the rules. This lets people (some who are in this very thread) take necessary and reasonable policy and claim it is “impossible to follow” when it’s just “this elected person is a complete idiot who decided to go to a dinner party during a pandemic”.

I should also mention another neat role roosters have: they mediate conflict. We got a rooster because our hens were picking on each other. That stopped once we got him. He even used to sit between the conflicting hens on the perch at night.

Also a good rooster will find food for the hens, and call them over to it. Ours used to find bugs and then make this cute "coo coo coo" and they'd come running, and eat while he watched and waited to take his turn.

sniff miss our guy. I think we'll get a new rooster in the spring, maybe a really neat looking bantam.

Since Indie Hackers generally don't take external funding, all the risk is concentrated on the founders. That makes it attractive to focus on established product categories with known demand.

Funded startups are in a better position to take risks and work on innovative products. You don't know if you're building the right thing, and even if you are your potential customers might not see the value right away. Funding allows founders to take a salary while trying to find a market.

I had lots innovative ideas I started working on my product. But in practice the few users I had were all asking for the same types of standard functionality. So I started trying to more directly compete with existing successful businesses.
I would assume the external pressure causes the shell to elastically deform so that it contains less volume, hence a drop of fluid is squeezed out.

> Moreover, most hardcore ones suggest that we don't ever need meat to thrive or live a healthy life however, we've evolved that far because we consumed meat. Meat made us and, same people are ignorant of this fact.

That's just flat-out untrue. Meals would be less delicious and you'd have to plan a bit better to get certain nutrients (B12) but healthy life is absolutely possible on a vegan diet. And even more so on a lacto-vegetarian diet (one of the most ripped guys I know is lacto-veg).
It's crazy to me when I can't type in JIRA... or when I drag a ticket to a new column, and it just doesn't go, and I reload and it's still in the old column. Or when I try to click a ticket and it just doesn't open.

The not being able to type fluidly has to be the worst though.

Our team has as well at least brought up the idea of potentially trying other products.

Some of it's probably me not really wanting to get involved with JIRA in the first place (who wants to manage tickets), but in the interest of being a better employee I've been trying to make sure I'm squaring out my work properly for tracking, etc.

And there's certain things, that I'm sure are there, but I just can't find sometimes. Like... how to add an epic easily. There's at least three different views for each ticket (when you create it, when you click it open into the modal, and the full screen view), and things are apparently in different places on those different views?

I'll take some of the blame, but it's a mess.
Years ago I looked at, and sorta-learned, Blender for use as a tool for designing simple 3D printed objects. It wasn’t the best tool for that, and I switched to Fusion 360, which is awesome. But F360 isn’t actually free for hobbyists; you have to affirmatively renew your trial every year, which makes me nervous. Has Blender become better for this kind of thing?
"CONSTANTLY WRONG: THE CASE AGAINST CONSPIRACY THEORIES"

This seems like a less than promising title for those of us who are interested in what is objectively true. A quick skim of the first three strawman-filled minutes of the video does not make me feel any better.

It's true, one can indeed find plenty of batshit insane ideas within the conspiracy world. Similarly, one can find plenty of dark-complexioned people engaged in fisticuffs on /r/fightporn. What speculative conclusions one should form based on these two facts is a matter of opinion.

Have worked at AWS before, and I can attest to this. Whenever we had an outage, our director and senior manager would take a call on whether to update the dashboard or not.

Having 'red' dashboard catches lot of eyes, so people responsible for making this decision always look at it from political point of view.

As a dev oncall, we used to get 20 sev2s per day (an oncall ticket which needs to be handled within 15 mins) so most of the time things are broken, its just that its not visible to external customers through dashboard.
Do you happen to have the bill/invoice still? I'd love to see some real numbers, and try a bit of back-of-napkin comparison with digital ocean, scaleway, hetzner cloud - and in particular hetzner dedicated. The latter does cost a bit if you need 10gps uplink - but otherwise you could go far with a "second hand" auctioned server - free/included bandwidth (1gbps) and no setup fee. I suppose for the US market one might want to look at ovh as well.

Most vegans and vegetarians are well aware of the "but plants have feelings tho" argument. It's actually one of the most common arguments that people who like to "gotcha" vegans will bring up.

The fact that plants can have subconcious reactions to stimuli does not mean they are sentient beings. These reactions are more akin to when you subconciously kick when a doctor hits a hammer on your knee.

Plants do not have a central nervous system nor do they feel pain in the same way animals do. In an evolutionary sense, pain is useful for animals because it tells us to deliberately move and avoid that pain, plants are obviously not able to do this.
Yep, plant based diets aren’t a dogmatic all-or-nothing thing. You can still get a good portion of the benefits (health, ethical, and environmental) by cutting down on animal products even if you don’t cut them out completely. No need to let perfect be the enemy of good.

Any software vendor CAN be nefarious.

It is just innuendo to claim it about a particular one without evidence.

People don’t risk their privacy by trusting Apple any more than they do by trusting anyone else. Almost certainly less so than by trusting a company that makes money out of personal information.

Singling Apple out without evidence is misleading innuendo.

If we want people to have the option not to trust private corporations, we need to create infrastructure that currently doesn’t exist.

The 7nm Renoir APUs already came out. As for the 5nm, we don't have them yet even though they should release in a few months, but we have processors of the same architecture on a different process.

The M1 Mac Mini can only edit 8K video at a fairly low quality if you use the accelerated encode. If you're actually going to be doing real editing, you're going to only be using the 8K decode, and for that you can look at literally any Renoir APU system.

The cheapest system with a Renoir APU capable of accelerated 8K decode is 340$, so half of the cost of the Mac Mini.

As for this :

>You are talking in circles. This same exact hardware is used to decode lower resolution video. Benefits reach down to 6k, 4k, 2k, 1080p, 720p, etc etc. Any encoding you do

It's only talking in circles if you ignore the rest of the comment. Accelerated encode and decode with similar architectural efficiency is already there. The main advantage Apple has here is that, for a few months, they have a more power efficient process.

As for encode, literally no one has a solid use case for a laptop and hardware encoding over 1080p. For streaming video, anywhere over 1080p is useless on a laptop, and for actual video encoding, no one uses embedded accelerated encode because it's inherently of lower quality.

But sure, if for some absurd reason you want to edit video directly in 8K and don't care about the abysmal rendering times at high qualities, you can buy a 340$ Renoir SBC, enable Hardware Decode on your favorite video editing software, and be on your merry way with accelerated real-time decode of 8K - as long your video files are h264 or h265.
Ouch. I worked at a startup that pivoted and updated our tech stack along the way. There was some foray into machine learning but not too heavily. This might actually describe more than one of the startups I've worked at.
Echoing what Aperocky said, I worked for Amazon for about 10 years, across a number of different teams. Amazon has its share of problems, but assigning blame for outages was not one of them.

During my 10 years, I had multiple opportunities to break and then fix things. The breaking was always looked at as "these things happen" while the fixing was always commended.

Can you elaborate what roles would be preferable when working at place like Goldman? What typical qualifications and experience are expected?
Unfortunately no. Other options you might look at for GUI solid modeling are FreeCAD (the one I tried before giving up and learning Fusion) and Solvespace (you'll want to build 3.0 from source, the most recent release build is 2.3 from 2016).

Or for code based modeling, OpenSCAD is the big thing, and cadQuery is a newer python-based system that seems very promising. Version 2 of cadQuery is built on Open CASCADE, the same backend as FreeCAD, and I gather it makes some modeling operations like fillets and chamfers much more possible than what you can do in SCAD.

I've been meaning to dig into that but haven't made the time yet.

Love the response, happy to see that it's going well then!

I would never hold it against you if you had not, I didn't for the first decades of my life, but anyone who has done both of those things and tries to equate them is not being intellectually honest. Or has the emotional capacity of a potato, which I posit is strictly less than the emotional capacity of a chicken.

Again, if you haven't done either of those things, that is OK. I do however encourage others to do so, because I have gained so much appreciation and understanding for what it takes to keep individuals, and therefore the world, fed.

Yeah, that seems about right, thank you. But also when I meant 'slow', some times I would wait hours for a disk that was ~200GB, which seemed far beyond what is reasonably expected. It may have been an isolated instance and not the general case there, since my new ones are all much more reasonable now.
I couldn't agree more, and it seems to be on the rise. I used to get once a week maybe, like for a new signup to a forum. Fine, understandable. Now I get them multiple times per day.

It used to be a minor annoyance and I understood the reason for them in those cases. Now they've moved way beyond the 'pain threshold' and it's moved on to a blind hatred of them for me.

A similar thing happened for ads.. At first they were OK and I was fine with some ads paying for a sites. Then they became more intrusive flash crap. I started getting annoyed. Then all the tracking came in and full-page motion and sound ads and they really started abusing their privileges. Now I hate them so much I will never turn off my adblocker again for any site. They've just overstayed their welcome too much.

The same thing is happening now with captchas. Started as a good cause, but totally took advantage of the users to solve a problem that's just as well solved on the back end in most cases.

> I'm actually surprised that ISPs didn't come together to just build this into their access points.

Comcast does something like this (though not technically a mesh) but only for their own customers. If your AP is set to share access, then as a Comcast customer you get a sort of 'roaming' access through any other Comcast AP that is also set to share.

As I recall, it was turned on by default and opt-out, but you were on your own so far as actually finding an AP you could mooch off of. Guest access is always prioritized below the owner.

Also from memory, which may be faulty, out of date, or both: There is some reasonable limit to the total bandwidth you can use as a guest from sharing APs each month (I think it was maybe something like 50GB), and other customers' guest use of your AP doesn't count toward your own data cap.

I also vaguely recall some sort of upsell for your account to remove your data limit as a guest, or at least increase it.

I would guess that if other ISPs start offering their customers the same sort of setup, the next step would be peering agreements between them.
