The best part? Every penny of that $11M ARR is yours to spend however you wish. Nobody's going to question you if you take your company's money and spend it on a private helicopter or a summer beach home in Cyprus (all easily affordable for $11M). If you had accepted even a tiny pre-seed investment, you wouldn't have that freedom - the company's money is not yours, and although you could live comfortably on executive salary, bonuses, and stock sales, you can't avoid scrutiny until you've sold the company or IPO'ed.

The second best part about bootstrapping (specifically: solo bootstrapping)? The immense satisfaction of eating from the work of my own hands. I finally launched my side project last month, and it's making enough to pay for rent and food. I have no other source of income or savings, and the feeling is fantastic -- even though the amount I am earning right now is tiny, far less than what I earned as a private consultant or employee of a VC-backed firm before. I wouldn't trade this feeling of satisfaction for any other job in the world. The freedom of 100% ownership: earning, managing, and spending every dollar without having to answer to anyone is priceless.

Taking VC money is just a glorified type of employment with lottery returns.

I'd never thought about that, but I think you're right. And it really comes off distastefully -- like the writer feels they're so important that we must care about his job rather than the product. It's a sort of "code smell" for journalism for me, like the journalist is trying to personalize the story so that I feel a connection with them and accept whatever narrative they're trying to create.
Using multiple drives is costly, it is much cheaper to consolidate if possible.

Rebuild time per TB will actually slightly improve because of better throughput due to higher density and higher number of disks inside the drive, so the recovery time for small arrays will actually get better.

True, rebuild time for a whole drive will get very long which is not great, but if the array is designed with good enough redundancy, this won't be a problem, less alone a blocking issue. The very point of RAID is that the system is functional even in the state of rebuilding. If enough drives are used, it does not matter that the rebuild takes 1 month.

> and the only goal is to run the blog

If part of the end of of "run by blog on Kubernetes" is "I want to use this as a learning experience to run other things on Kubernetes afterwards" it's definitely a worth-while exercise.

> you'll find that it is now trivial to deploy a hundred other things to it.

I mean, sort of. Starting with a blog is a good introduction and gives an on ramp to running other services, but I wouldn't say it is sufficient experience to call running hundreds of other services "trivial".
> there are close to 200 vaccines.

That number is at best vaccine candidates, and I suspect even that is a very charitable term.

The actual number of vaccines approved by any health agency is 12, most of which are not approved by any EU health agency. Including the number of vaccines in Phase III trials that might be approved in the next several months would get you maybe another dozen at most.

I agree, but I think the issue is that LOTS of people just don't have good night vision.

But yeah, for a significant minority of people who have poor vision, the brighter the better, because they just can't see in the dark normally.

There might be issues with Bigfoot-like drives with platter stability at the edges, but I have no idea if this is actually the case. What I do know is you get better performance towards the edge of the platters, and for larger drives, the variability in throughput might be a downside for some buyers. Seeks times are also slower.

There was a variant of the WD Raptor that took the opposite approach: it put a 2.5" 10k RPM drive in a 3.5" enclosure, but this drive played the role SSDs do today; they weren't for mass storage.
That's a fair point, if you are working against a fast moving target that forces you to rebase onto it often then you really want a short and simple history... a trail of WIPs or changes on top of changes tend blow up into a cascade of conflicts.

However in my original comment I was actually just referring to the scenario where you only want to rewrite history onto the same base, in which case I stand by my suggestion... In fact I find this can be a good strategy if your history has grown and you also need to rebase onto a new upstream - i.e first clean up your history onto the same base with a `git rebase -i current-base` and squash it all down and tidy it up, then do the `git rebase upstream` so you can do conflict resolution with more holistic commit diffs.
What I think is missing from the demo is that we can only see "lateral" movement, which is the reason why many people here think this looks like a lenticular display. If that is a real hologram you should be able to change your viewpoint vertically as well right ?

People generally keep their kubernetes spec files in Git. Be it either the kubernetes .yaml files they apply directly, or helm charts.

These files can idempotently be re-applied to a cluster to restore, or upgrade, the running applications.

When you lose your cluster and you restore to a new cluster, you will of course initially deploy the same version of kubernetes as you were using previously.

Then once you choose to upgrade to a new version of kubernetes, it can happen that some of the APIs you were using have now been deprecated/removed. This is a very slow process, so you had plenty of time to upgrade ahead of time before being forced to.

But let's say you ignore all that, and have chosen to upgrade to a new kubernetes major version and are now forced to upgrade all your yamls. This happens rarely, and recently only because a few BETA APIs have become STABLE and people are now expected to use the STABLE versions. So you go ahead and make those few changes, re-run your deploy and you're done.
FTL travel actually implies FTL communication, since you can send a traveller with a message. What I think you mean is that communication needs to be either really fast, or at least a lot faster than the travelling.

I don't think that's relevant. All you really need is a segment of the population that wants to go somewhere else, and trade and whatnot can still work well without a communication system that's faster than travelling. That's how the trans-atlantic trade system worked from about 1500-1700.

It is no means a foregone conclusion that grabby v. gardener => grabby wins.

Perhaps grabby aliens, a known menace to life in the universe, are systematically exterminated when they are identified by other aliens in the universe.

There are really strong implicit assumptions at play here. This is a very interesting thought experiment, and it's nice to see novel thinking in this area. It's important to recognize however, that this is not "logical" or a "forgone conclusion" in any meaningful or systematic way.
Space is just so unimaginably huge that although I think aliens exist, I don't think it is likely that multi-solar system civilizations exist or there is a lot of organic life traveling between solar systems. The fastest man-made object is Helios 2 which went a little over 250,000 km/h https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_(spacecraft) So if I did my math right, that's 0.02% of the speed of light. So we would have to go 50 times that fast to just be 1% of the speed of light. The nearest star is 4 light years away. So even at the speed of light it would take 4 years to get there.

So a civilization would have to develop some way of going faster than light to realistically go to other solar systems which, even if possible, would likely take unimaginable amounts of power.
Your threat model is not my threat model, hospital edition
I had an N810 (predecessor to the N900), and it was very cool - at the time, it really felt like "the future". However, I must admit that I liked it for what it was -a toy - and not for what it could actually do in a productive sense. At the end of the day, it wasn't possible to perform any sustained productive activity on it.

In broad strokes, for increasingly complex work, there is an inverse relationship between the portability and the productivity of a computing device.

This is particularly true for types work that involves mentally integrating and generating large (for the human mind) amounts of information like code - but also for reviewing documents, managing financial accounts (interacting with a large spreadsheet on a phone is a nightmare).

It's why at the end of the day, most engineers and architects (whether in software or real engineers in the physical realm), get most of their work done in front of large screens with full size keyboards (or at least large laptops).

This isn't to say that there aren't niche use cases or circumstances where a Linux computer in your pocket isn't extremely useful - the example always rolled out being "remote administration" of a server - but even these tend to be exceptions. It's nearly always better to accomplish remote administration tasks from a laptop.

>SaaS is all over.

Yes. By its very nature.

Plus, SaaS is more like a horizontal niche (though I would really call it a layer, with, e.g. shrink-wrapped software being another horizontal layer), while fintech, healthcare etc. are vertical layers[1]. In fact, the industry jargon term (outside of the narrow world of tech, at least), is "verticals". Ask any marketing guy. Verticals are usually defined by the business domain they apply to.

[1] E.g.: you can have a fintech SaaS and a healthcare shrinkwrapped app, and vice versa, and so on.

Nitinol typically has tight compositional tolerances and is used for things like stents and catheters. It's nothing new in the medical field. But it'd be pretty damn impressive to manufacture something so finely structured out of nitinol at scale.
the UK's implementation and seemingly general view on lighting seems to be very different than to the rest of Europe. For one, it is quite minimal, the major highways and public parks are barely lit. And the lighting used is so orange and so little lumen that it leaves the eye struggling to either adjust for the reflection of the moon or the street light, straight up awful. I don't mind a balance between preserving traditional feel around pubs etc but we definitely need to have public paths adequately lit.

This also seems like a choice. There is no reason LED's cannot create warmer light, and there is probably a solution to scatter the rays and not give that "clinical" kind of light which LEDs are known for.

> How do you update nginx, or git, or python/php/ruby (if you're using one of those for your little app)?

I suppose you mean automatically update? If so, this has been solved decades ago. Unattended upgrades is just another debian package you can install.

If you meant just update in general, that's a pretty silly question.

> An automatic install script with a deb is _way_ more work

You misunderstand. You can use the automatic install script to create the .deb - or a script based on it. Basically instead of on a live system, you place the same files in a tree you create the deb package from.

Even if you use docker, I still recommend learning about how debian packages work. Installing your app in a docker container using a .deb is strictly nicer than having all those steps in a Dockerfile. Plus this way you can specifiy your secondary dependencies declaratively.

> more work and way less portable than writing: FROM nginx COPY . .

Now that is just flat-out wrong. The steps you'd execute after "FROM nginx" are the same steps you'd execute after apt-get install nginx. It's not more work, it's the same or less - because you don't need to deal with docker on top of everything.

You have the added benefit that afterwards you can install the .deb in a debian-based docker container, but you don't have to. You're not reliant on docker.

Oh great example btw. Because the debian-based nginx docker container is essentially created with "apt-get install nginx" in its Dockerfile. Funny how you're trying to argue against the setup I proposed by citing a docker package that does things precisely that way.

> What happens if you get a spike in usage and it kills your little server?

Yeah that's not gonna happen to a static blog behind CF. Also at least that way you're always only paying $5, regardless of what happens.

The sort of traffic that kills a $5 VPS serving only a basic static blog can bankrupt you on an automatically scaling infra.

Red Team vs. Blue Team Hardware Trojan Analysis – Detection of Trojan on an ASIC [pdf]
Random IOPS is and always will be stuck at 240 IOPS for a 7200 RPM drive.

7200 RPM / 60 == 120 rotations per second. A "half-rotation" to move the typical data on the disk to the head (half the data is within the first half-rotation, the other half of the data is within the 2nd half rotation).

If you want to reach the data faster, you need to physically rotate the disk faster: such as a 10,000 RPM drive, 15k, or 20k drive. To allow for faster rotations, you shrink the drive to 2.5" or even 1.8". Alas, SSDs have taken over this niche entirely, so we only really have 3.5" and 7200 RPM drives anymore.
I am truly baffled why the epidemiology community ever thought herd immunity will work. There is ample evidence that it is not a panacea. e.g. influenzae, hepatitis, meningitis, measles, mumps, rubella, yellow fever.
It all boils down to efficiency and probabilities. It's like saying the different platform security solutions (where you can only deploy signed apps) doesn't make sense because of the same reasons you have listed. Yep, sometimes companies will be hacked, and the ones that get hacked frequently will be deemed less reliable (the browser may even display a warning), but it solves 99+% of the issue.

Besides this, you people should be aware that technically any video could be faked. But you only have so much time and attention during a single day and if you can offload some of the checks to machines, which can do it reasonably well, then why don't? (Esp. taking into account that however I'd like too, you can't educate everyone. It will just not stick with a lot of them.)

We can endogenously produce it by converting it from ALA, but that conversion is very inefficient (5 percent), it doesn't result in the most bioavailable form (lyso-DHA) and most sources of ALA have high omega-6s.

Not to mention there's going to be significant individual variability regarding the capability of converting ALA. Likely, some are going to do a great job of it, and others not so much. Just look at how much heterogeneity there is in the endogenous production of gut myrosinaise for example.

Our bodies were designed to consume some fish, even if we can do without.

I don't think security was approached correctly at all, even from the beginning.

The problem is they ran in an environment where only "dangerous" APIs were blacklisted but otherwise you had pretty much full access to all JVM features and capabilities. A blacklist approach does not work for security. It only takes one hole. With an expansive API like the JDK, that ended up being a horrible game of whack-a-mole to try and patch holes as they come up.

Applet security would have been much better done as a completely separate runtime from the standard JDK with only the APIs that make sense for applets. That, however, is a lot harder to pull off (at least initially).

Agree about everything else, though. Applets were in the right place at the right time but poorly executed. So poorly that techs like flash ate their lunch. (And I don't believe flash was particularly well executed, just better than Applets).
That is great. I like to bring up this clip from Castle:
