I develop https://firedating.me - my hobby project and a place for FIRE (Financial Independence / Retire Early) enthusiasts to find friends and a partner. My goal is to help FIRE people build meaningful connections and decrease the amount of loneliness in the community.

I don't make any money, instead I've spent around $130 and 400 hours so far. It is actually a lot of fun to learn web development and encounter various unexpected challenges everyday. There are also rewarding aspects - 9 couples, who met through the site, have reached out to me and were grateful. This feeling of changing people's lives in this way is amazing! I have no clue where this brings me, but I enjoy it so much. I try to spend at least 1.5 hours a day in 2021. In 2020 I had a goal to spend at a least 1 hour a day on my side projects and that's how firedating was born ;)

That... is very interesting. I didn't realize the timeline was that short; I was assuming the game studio had started around the same time Stadia had (multiple years ago).

First thought: it's probably pretty hard to start a new game studio during COVID? That article is dated March 4, oof.

But yeah, that's weird.

That's an interesting approach. Generally speaking, my organization doesn't maintain large document repositories because they go stale quickly and our products are too vast to document in such a way.

For some context on my reply:

- We maintain one design document per project. This document references everything from the application specifications to the automation that puts it in production.

- Most documentation is written in line with code. Finding documentation is about as complicated as finding the right repository.

This is also why peer review (in our org) isn't limited by level. Ideally we'd get feedback across the experience spectrum to make sure not only code but comments make sense to everyone.
Thanks for FastAPI. It's a super exciting project.

As a very long time Django developer I see the potential for it to finally replace Django in jamstack-type apps. But two things are direly missing for that to be the default IMO:

1. A flexible admin. Django's admin allows for super fast prototyping. I wrote an accounting/bookkeeping app recently which I used for myself, and I didn't write a UI for it at all for several months because I could just get by with the admin. (Filed two quarterlies with just the admin as UI!)

2. An ORM that is as natural as Django's. I love SQLAlchemy but its syntax is a huge turnoff. I imagine the "right solution" combines the best of both worlds; maybe some Django-like syntax wrapper around SQLAlchemy. … with typings.

What do you think, is there progress in those areas?
I still happily use Flask with mostly Jinja rendered templates.

With things like Hotwire and htmx you can build very nice feeling apps without going all-in with an API back-end and JS front-end.

I released https://github.com/nickjj/docker-flask-example as a starter kit for what I use in new projects. It wires up things like SQLAlchemy, Celery, Flask, gunicorn, Webpack, etc. with Docker. It also comes with CLI extensions for digesting / md5 tagging assets with optional CDN support using Flask-Static-Digest, database migrations / seeding with Flask-DB and more.

If I ever need to create API endpoints I combine Flask-Classful (routing), Marshmallow (serialization / validation) and Flask-JWT-Extended (authentication). I've written about this combo at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/flask-libraries-for-building-...

I can't give a really detailed answer, but you can look up Swift messages, Symbiont, FIS, Alladin, and maybe the SEC site for some info.

Internally, a company would be decreasing the number of shares for an individual. They might send the order to a broker or if they are a broker, then to the market. I think Swift messages are part of that communication. They usually are sent to custodial banks. I forget if the broker or custodial bank holds the certificate. Then theres a whole clearing process which takes 2 days. Dark pools and other agents can be involved. I think CFA foundations has details on the whole process.

There's also a similar process for funds. Sometimes the orders don't need to be sent to the market. Basically if fund A is selling a stock and fund B is buying the same stock, then only the net order is sent to the market.

Symbiont is working on blockchain tech to shorten the settle time make the records immutable. Sort of interesting stuff.

Grouparoo | Senior Full Stack Engineer - Founding Engineer | Full-Time | Remote - USA

Grouparoo (http://www.grouparoo.com) is a venture-backed software company building the open-source framework for managing, syncing, and syndicating data between your app(s) and all the marketing and operations tools your company needs to run. Do you need to keep your product data (Postgres) in-sync with Hubspot, Marketo and Zendesk? Do you want to limit the PII that leaves your firewall but still be able to have meaningful conversations with your customers? Do you want to be able to build, tests, and deploy data syndication code just like the rest of your stack? That’s what Grouparoo does.

We are a small team, and so we are looking for generalist engineers who are interested in learning about a wide variety of tools and technologies rather than becoming experts in any one part of the stack. We call this role “Founding” because you will have a real opportunity to influence the direction of the company and product. The main components of our stack are Typescript/Javascript, Actionhero, Next.js and React.

Learn more about the position @ https://www.grouparoo.com/jobs and https://www.keyvalues.com/grouparoo . Check out our open-source framework (and see what you will be working on) @ https://github.com/grouparoo/grouparoo
So you mean their REAL purpose is attribution, but they just chose to build giant databases covering peoples locations, friend groups, hobbies, desires, careers, sex, sexual preferences, relationship statuses, political alignment, voting probability, race and more in order to implement a 'secondary nice-to-have'?

And that's better?

As a side point, I don't see why attribution tracking requires any form of cross-site tracking or fingerprinting. It seems like it would be pretty trivial to implement this without all the privacy issues (i.e. just direct the ad to domain.com/ad123 and track the user on-site from there).

That's only partially true. With document schemas, you simply eliminate the DBA since whatever you put in there is entirely up to you. In all fairness I've never dealt with DBAs - I've always managed to get a technological freedom and be able to design and organize my databases in whichever way I see fit. I'd generally hate to have to ask someone to clone a table for me or whatever.

JSON is the standard way to ship data around the internet, yes. Though grpc is catching up and more and more often I see people relying on grpc in their architecture. And grpc conceptually is a lot closer to RDBM, given that you have a code generation step and everything in your data needs to be defined(aka statically typed).

Recently I started several personal projects and though I struggle to find time and motivation to work on them on my own, document related databases are completely out of the question. postgre and potentially redis as a proxy for heavy loads and that's that. I wouldn't call postgres a hybrid database. It does support json datatypes natively but in it's core it is the definition of what RDBMs are. The best example for a hybrid database(from a developer's perspective since it isn't open source and I do not work for google in any shape or form) is spanner.

From what I gather, Apple has been using IDFA since 2012. It's baked into the OS and Apple generates the ID. It was enabled by default. Before IDFA, Apple used UDID. My question is why did the privacy focused Apple ever include such a thing in the first place? They provided the tools. Others, like FB, used it and were profiting. I'm no fan of FB (I don't have an account) but it seems the blame is being laid at the wrong feet?

Lol, almost thought the URL was COERCION.com!
It absolutely makes sense as "from" - imagine I go to investors and say "I have this great scheme, and it will make a bunch of money", and they give me a bunch of money, and I pocket it. My company existed to "generate money from investors", for myself.

It's also, obviously, fraud. You can make it less obvious by actually spending the money on a scheme that looks busy and looks like it has potential to generate returns. If I realistically believe that it has the potential to generate the returns I'm promising the investors, then I'm doing the usual thing of trying to generate money for investors. If I'm selling $2 bills for $1, I'll get a lot of customers and build a big business but all the actual value flowing into the system is the cash from the investors and I don't have any real prospect of turning that around.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between those.
You're not the only one that feels this way. Just like you're not the only one that probably feels like alcoholics should just learn to handle their liquor, bulimics should accept their body image, people with cardiovascular issues should just exercise more, stutterers should just stop stuttering, asthmatics should just breath better, etc. What you have is a lack of empathy and understanding for people that genuinely suffer from a condition that you don't suffer from, and yes lots of people are in the same boat as you.
What is DOS? Is it COMMAND.COM (of which the Windows command prompt is indeed a descendant) or the API underneath (INT 21H mostly)?
Handbrake is great, though IIRC it doesn't encode into any weird formats. For reasons too annoying to go into here, we needed to convert some weird Intel Indeo file into a WMV/ASF, due to some weirdness of a program that he needed to use for work only supporting WMV stuff.

Allan Hills 84001: Mars Life? 20 Years Later, Debate over Meteorite Continues
Twenty years ago, NASA scientists and their colleagues announced they had spotted possible signs of Mars life in a meteorite. The claim ignited a scientific controversy that lingers to this day.

In 1996, researchers led by David McKay, Everett Gibson and Kathie Thomas-Keprta from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston suggested that they might have found microbial fossils in a meteorite from Mars known as Allan Hills 84001 (ALH 84001). (Cosmic impacts on Mars can be powerful enough to blast rocks off the Red Planet, a fraction of which crash on Earth, the moon and other bodies in the solar system.)

The meteorite was first discovered in 1984 by geologists riding snowmobiles through the Allan Hills region of Antarctica. Scientists think ALH 84001 originally formed 4 billion years ago on Mars and landed on Earth about 13,000 years ago.
A lot of "traditional" dishes are not that old.

Japanese Ramen is my favorite example. Inspired by Chinese noodles, it is only about a century old, and it really took off during WW2. A sign of it not being of Japanese tradition is the fact it is most often written in katakana (ラーメン).

The fact it is not traditional is actually a strength. While more traditional Japanese food like sushi or tempura is highly codified, Ramen shops are free to do as they please, which result in a great deal of variety. There is no "one true Ramen".
