Could that depend on the personality traits of the solo founder? What if it's in some people's nature, to feel bad about rejecting make-sense feature request and bug fixes, in order to instead focus on money making things? (Even if logically it'd be the long term good thing to do.) Whilst someone else might have felt just fine, doing that?

If you know about the Big 5 personality traits, maybe this is related to where you are, in the Agreeable vs Assertive dimension.

For someone who is more Agreeable, then, keeping the SaaS closed source, might be the way to go — so there simply won't be any unsupported platform installation problems to ignore but feel bad about.

The Margin Loan: How to Make a $400k Impulse Purchase
I've seen many of the early "Gatso[0]" cameras vandalised.

My understanding is that they originally used film, which had to be retrieved, so trying to burn it down with a well placed tyre had a chance of avoiding a fine.

This reminds me of some funny anecdote about (mostly) American tourists on a visit to Amsterdam (dunno if they are true). Apparently with all the historical houses and them so crammed together in the city center with tight allies winding through them, some tourists get the impression that they are in a theme park. On ocassion, as the story goes, tourist would ask a resident to their astonishment: "Pardon me Madam, but could you tell me where the exit is?".

Note that we have a couple such 'theme parks', like the Zaanse Schans [0] and Open Air Museum [1]. There are other places that really feel like theme parks to tourists, but are actually true residential areas where people live their daily lives. For instance Giethoorn [2] and Volendam [3]. Especially in Giethoorn this status is a mixed bag and residents - just like in Venice - aren't always that happy with huge influx of tourists.

Never been to a Walmart specifically, but every store around here broadcasts a "closing the store in X minutes, please be outside of building by then" message on the loudspeakers a bunch of times, then the employees pack some things up and walk through the entire shop to check if everything is ok and the security personnel, being the last to leave, check all cameras before finally locking up.

This seems like plenty of due diligence for the store not to be liable is someone gets locked inside.
IMO you may be mistakenly attributing Western individualism here. If your friends are not wearing masks in some situation, you may choose to wear one and not fret about it, but not everywhere is like that.

This is not about individual no-maskers, but rather a peculiar social norm to collectively forgo wearing masks in certain situations.
There's a little box inside penalty box in soccer where the goalkeeper has by the rules relative freedom to do whatever he wants for his own safety in soccer as well.
Also similarly to crowding the goalie in hockey, own players sometimes build another wall to keep the view of the ball from goalkeeper. Haven't watched NHL for a decade but it seems all the sports constantly evolve to take maximums from situations.

> Stuff like parsing JSON is typically still blocking. I’m sure there are other forms of blocking computation.

I agree that it's a neat idea to use asynchrony to move specific heavyweight browser-native computations out of the JavaScript thread, but is JSON parsing really a significant performance issue?

> JS being single threaded means that while some tracker is parsing a big json blob your website becomes unable to handle input events until the tracker is done.

I'd rather parallelism not be a viable option for accelerating trackers. Users are known to hate unresponsive UIs. I'd rather that web trackers bring an unavoidable performance penalty.

> Let’s say there is an option to do this in some form of threaded worker or coroutines then the main UI thread does not become blocked.

You've just described the Web Workers API.

I don't know whether today's tracker scripts use Web Workers. I imagine probably not though, I think the Web Workers API is only appropriate when you're doing substantial computation.

I think the addictive vs. non-addictive debate is mostly about what people mean by the word "addictive." Clinically, you're right: anything that affects the dopamine system will have clinically addictive properties (i.e. bingeing, preoccupation, anxiety, etc), and there's plenty of clinical research showing that long-term cannabis use can result in addiction. But what people sometimes mean by "addictive" is physically-painful and/or physically-dangerous withdrawal symptoms: nauseau, migraines, shaking, or even potentially death in the case of alcohol. Even heavy cannabis use doesn't generally result in those kinds of withdrawal symptoms.

Goalie equipment rules are the same or more restrictive than in the past (pads are more narrow than they were allowed before).
The difference is that current goalies in NHL are HUGE. When I see how tall they are when they are on their knees... OMG, I'm that tall when I stand in the crease.
Catcher and blocker sizes are given and the same for everyone. The difference is with pad size where total height is limited by lengths of your bones so tall goalies can effectively have much larger pads. So, not only they are already big and block a big portion of the net, they block even more space because their pads are allowed to be much taller and thus blocking even more net.

A lot of comments under here are talking about recruiters changing CVs, but I can't imagine why anyone would do that. Like, what is the incentive there?

As a person from the UK, no I've not forgotten. The difference here (and this is NOT excusing them) is that you've gone from a series of systems which didn't officially exist, accessible from the select few of intelligence agencies and no doubt secure as hell into private ones which are controlled by people like BT. Yep, BT. The same BT who are laying off 10k staff this year because they need to cut costs. This isn't something they're putting effort into, this is some mandated program which will mean they're going to come up with the cheapest solution to store all your data. That's obviously bad.

welcome to the game of life! its great that you have everything that you dreamt of and finally came to the realization that it is not what makes you happy otherwise you would just keep on chasing it without having the oppertunity to find out if its even worth it.
It is time to investigate yourself now, who is unhappy? what are you? who are you between the thoughts? is one between the thought's unhappy? is it not you? who are you really? find it out and be ready to get your beliefs/thoughts turn upside down. There is no harm in doing so as the current "you" already has everything that it seeked and is still unhappy, time to dig deeper.

It's definitely not that inconvenient. You choose which branch it should go to, they work on Saturdays, and in my city with like 400k people there's 270 branches to pick from, one of which is surely convenient.
I understand the concerns you have, however I think there's a good middle ground. Would you consider the following procedure acceptable?

- Isolate all rooms with fire-proof doors.
- Keep fire supression system at manual.
- When fire breaks try to contain (we have 24h watch).
- If fails trigger fire supression system. It has 90 second delay and activated per room.
- Leave premsises, make the calls.

Fire control and supressant control is not inside the system room. Also fire-proof doors seal the room reasonably well, so chemical doesn't move freely. Also there are better chemicals which break down faster and less harmful to everything.

BTW, We use Novec.

I feel that. Writing code and zooming in on individual tasks is much more my jam than zooming out and seeing the whole picture.

At my current job I kinda have to do all of them, I'm the solo developer on the UI of our application (my colleagues work on the C runtime, the UI generates configuration for it and shows diagnostics and statistics data). What this project really needs though is more people working on it, and the way things stand I'd be in the lead there, so I have to take a step back from the nitty-gritty.
He says he noticed while watching Vasilevskiy that after having dropped he did not immediately spring back up as his team carried the puck out, but eventually did before the other team regained control -- "but he didn’t really need to", because Dryden, wrongly, thinks that when the team returns to the zone Vasilevskiy should face them from his knees.

Every NHL goalie plays much of the game on their knees, as they should, because they end up there in response to low shots and close-approaching shooters. What Dryden is wrong to imply is that they should adopt this as their default posture.

As I reread I see that even worse, he downplays the danger of adopting this position leading to taking a slap shot to the helmet, saying a modern goalie mask protects the head "as much as a catching glove does the hand". Just utterly false. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl-concerned-by-rise-in-goalie-concussio...

I doubt this is possible in a country so democratic. For the same reason you can't really switch to the metric system: you will have to convince the people the change is worth the inconvenience. The value of it is only obvious to expert engineers and economists (and some geeks like us) but they won't make the decision because ordinary people won't vote.

YMMV and there will be definitely be people like yourself, but from my own experience and the research I've read, this is exactly what mindfulness meditation is targeted at:

1. The ability to detect the mind wandering off.

2. The ability to re-direct attention.

There are studies showing that neural circuits linked to 1 + 2 are strengthened when doing mindfulness meditation. This benefit is specific to mindfulness meditation, and hasn't been shown for other types of (secular) meditation like transcendental meditation or relaxation exercises.

In my view privacy has more layers. It has layers of personal data (name, social security, medical records), user-produced data (your family photos), communication (chat) and metadata (ad tracking).
Lately I have seen ad tracking put in the same group as personal data. I don't think they deserve the same level
of protection. I think total privacy is fools' gold.

We always ask for total transparency from our governments, yet if they ask even a little of it from us, it's bad. Why?
Also, in our society, wanting too much of anything makes you a weirdo and an outcast. Why has advocating for total privacy become normal(ized)?

The goal in football/soccer is a bit larger than in hockey.

If you’re going to bring that up, we could talk about the hows and whys of the NBA not allowing goaltending.

Have you ever noticed that one player just can’t jump up and sit in the goal for the whole of the game?

It’s rather small, so the game then would be about who could remove the man from the area above the basket.

Perhaps we could just make the goalie have to stay away from the crease in the NHL and wear something similar to that which everyone else wears? (Unfortunately, there are a number of good reasons things are the way they are[1].)
