You need to:

- put the database in a virtual private cloud (VPC), an internal network

- setup a Virtual Private Network (VPN) also placed in the same VPC from which developers can connect to to access the internal network

- setup at least two MongoDB users, one `readWrite` user that can connect from the internal network and one administrative user that can only connect from localhost

- setup a key based SSH connection only accessible from the VPN to the MongoDB instance

- setup Security Groups (firewall) to lock all the unused ports and IP origins out

That way you'll need a VPN key, an SSH key and the MongoDB admin user's access to fully compromise the database.
Problem is that people on the left support de-platforming. Perhaps it is wrong and business leaders are really responsible for this, but combating hate speech is popular in those circles. You can guess how hate gets define by zeitgeist.
> "gender critical" to describe those who advocate for the position that the trans experience is invalid

While some people with highly traditionalist views might indeed believe this, many gender critical folks do not. Trans identity can definitely be valid, but so can cis identity. And it's definitely wrong to conflate any and all non-normative gender expression or presentation with some kind of all-encompassing "trans experience", at least in the strict identity sense.

I kind of hate this to be honest. I understand why maintainers use them, because "i am having issues running it, plz halp", but IMHO two paragraphs of a well-written report which contains all the information is better than:

== Describe the problem (huge header) ==

Description of the the problem.

== What did you expect? ==

That it worked

== What did you get? ==

A repeat of the problem statement.

== Which version did you use? ==

Repeat of what I wrote in the description where I mentioned I tried latest release 1.2.3 and the latest master.

etc.

I generally delete these templates, making sure the requested information is all in there of course. It almost always saves significant amount of space and makes things easier to read. I haven't had any complaints thus far.

> To be fair, the dude doesn't live in the US. There are only two countries in the world that tax citizens overseas, and the US is one of them.

The tax evasion for which he was indicted covered 2014 through 2018; while there are gaps in the information I can find quickly about his residency, in 2015 he apparently resided in Tennessee (and in 2013 in Oregon). So even if we were to accept that taxation of nonresident citizens was fundamentally illegitimate, that wouldn't invalidate all (possibly not any, again, I can't find any nob-US residency information in the covered period, only once he announced he was on the run from the tax investigation in 2019, and some before 2013.)

And even if all the tax allegations were grounded in illegitimate taxation, there's also the securities fraud charges.
> When diet & nutrient comes in to discussion even level-headed people seems to get very heated and emotional.

I mean, the title of the article, even on HN, is "How ancient people fell in love with [carbs]". Like they were going to the supermarket and choosing the food they "love".

For me, when it comes to deciding what diet is right, I just look at my relatives who lived for a long time. In all cases they ate "standard"/traditional foods as regular meals. There is a distinct lack of "diets", supplements and other fads. They didn't eat so much that they got fat, but they also didn't strictly limit their intake to maintain a ripped physique or whatever. It's quite simple really.

> Certain gender roles are social constructs, but gender as a whole cannot be a social construct because gender dysphoria exists.

Huh? How does that logically follow? (Hint: It doesn't.)

Feels more like it's the other way around, that the existence of gender dysphoria proves that gender is a social (and psychological?) construct: If gender were always the same as biological sex, there would be no feeling of conflict between them. That some people do feel such a conflict shows that they are not always the same. Therefore they cannot both be purely biologically determined.

Maybe it would be easier for you to grok if you thought of it not as “gender conflicting with itself”, but think of it as — privately rename it to — “sex-gender dysphoria”?

> (This is why trans-exclusionary feminists exist, because the existence of trans people nullifies their belief that gender is 100% a social construct.)

On the contrary, that seems to be exactly what the TERFs don’t believe. They should just come out and admit that “if gender is a social construct, then we’re ‘feminists’ not in terms of female- gendered people but only in terms of people of female sex.” Which, since feminism is about the role of females in society, i.e. very much a social issue, would show them up as pretty damn silly... But that’s their problem.
I built my own framework that I've used for a dozen or so apps since 2005. It started in SQL/PHP/HTML/JS/Air and slowly migrated project by project, class by class, to SQL/Node/Typescript. Some of the utility classes are still almost exact transcriptions. Every project introduces new challenges and use cases the framework wasn't designed for. I try to add the ones to the core that I think will be helpful down the road, and keep a repository of other elements I can look up just in case.

Whenever I take a project, I often find myself building in "what if" scenarios - e.g. what if the client asks for some further functionality down the road. I view my job as a programmer as trying to think of these things the client might not yet have conceived of, and leaving room for them in future iterations. I'll bring them up to the client and if they don't need them, I'll often write them in anyway. From the POV of putting out a concise, open-source package, I wouldn't do that. There's no need to expose half-baked functionality. But for myself, for my own work, I'll at least make a code stub and some notes every time I think of one of those things where an extra argument could be added, or extra functionality could branch off. At least half the time, clients come back years later asking for some functionality I stubbed, and I at least know where to look for it. If it seems useful enough, I merge it into the core.

So I don't think it's a bad impulse to try to think of every edge case. That's a great impulse. You just don't have to write the code for each one right now unless you think they'll impact daily operations. But if you were to lose the urge to do it, I'd argue you'd be a lesser programmer.

Unrelated, but I wanted to explore an idea from the book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" [0]:

Humans have evolved for a very long time as hunter and gatherers, and we have evolved to eat diet consistent with how we evolved, namely low carbohydrate diets. The reason why grain prevailed was because grain could support more humans per acre of land. Humans did not choose grain for long term health benefits, but rather for efficiency reasons.

It seems that many health problems stem from high carbohydrate diets. Are there reasons why we shouldn't switch to a low carbohydrate diet?

Yes. This is officially acknowledged (at least in the german CovPass app) and is a feature. You are able to "manage" multiple passes in said app. This is intended for accessibility (elderly partners with a shared smartphone, legal guardians for people with disabilities).

And yes, in theory at least the name should be crosschecked with a form of ID. It's just a digital copy of a legal document, you could easily borrow or copy the paper version from someone else as well.

> Well it's dangerous to give people the tools to design themselves

Having built a site builder before, I think you are on the right track. I think you're right to limit the design scope people have access to in order to manage Multiverses' brand image, I wouldn't recommend otherwise. What you've got is much more platform than blog/site builder, the network effect is going to rely on people wanting a "Multiverse" site and that's going to be a particular aesthetic.

In general though, there is a saying in music when someone makes a mistake: "It's only music, nobody died". I think the same could be applied to the web in general, and personal sites especially. Things got reaaaally boring after the "Flat design" trend of the 2010s powerwashed the web of anything remotely interesting, and as much as it brought in good UX and design patterns it also stripped out a lot of character. It'll be nice to see people try on their design pants again.

We used Jira at a small tech company 10 years ago and I actually kind of liked it. At the time, it was the best out of a bunch of mediocre (affordable) options. It offered nice integration with our mercurial BitBucket repos and that code review tool they had (forgot the name). We just used a simple workflow, and it was overkill for what we used it for, but it worked fairly smoothly.

Haven't used it since though.

We tried to self-host initially, and our server with "only" 4G of memory (remember, this was 10 year ago, and was a respectable amount for a small office server) couldn't handle it; it was super-slow even with just a few people. lol? None of us were Java peeps and didn't really know how to tweak the JVM thing. We ended up just using the hosted option, which wasn't that expensive anyway (certainly cheaper than having a dev spend a day on this).

I believe you called out the #1 feature of (some) cryptocurrencies. It can't be fucked with by central banks. No one country controls it. This is the whole idea behind distributed consensus. People who say cryptocurrencies are ponzi schemes often miss this single important point. They also often fail to realize it is possible for something to be grossly overvalued in the short/medium term without being worthless.

I believe we'll eventually see a 'final battle' between central banks and cryptocurrency, along national lines, as they are diametrically opposing forces. Poor countries opposed to international intervention in their affairs and economies will be the first.

I really don't know why you're assuming that the average person is capable of doing sufficiently qualitative research with Google to be better than a epidemiologist at fighting a pandemic.

On the contrary, the internet makes it so that anyone can say anything they want. YouTube video saying the lizard people gave the virus? A epidemiologist-union.org website or a Facebook post claiming the same? How can you expect people without good web skill, without prior knowledge, without academic rigor to be able to filter out what is real and what is not?

The best advice is listen to the fucking experts, locally and globally, think about it, compare with reputable online sources. If in doubt, doubt, discuss, search more information. But don't go against official public health guidance unless there are many officially qualified experts confirming your doubts. And even that kind of rough advice is too hard to follow for a person barely capable of Office and Facebook.

What does that have to do with "seeing the color". Of course there are words for many exact things that are typical examples of some colors. People couldn't see a particular mid-dark red before Ferrari? Bianchi celeste color? Surf green Stratocaster? Or maybe when Pantone launched their color reference system, people then suddenly started seeing them? Think how walking in a meadow must have felt after seeing all the Pantone colors with their codes, and then really seeing the flowers' colors for the first time?!

This doesn't mean people didn't see the color beforehand. It is surprising that these kind of categorical errors get forwarded so easily.

With normal HRT, you're usually reaching T levels around 0.5nmol/L (mine are 0.53 at the moment).

So pretty much every genuinely trans athlete will have a disadvantage compared to cis female athletes.

In fact, even pre transition, my levels were lower than those of 11 of 234 cis female athletes, so I never got any of the "benefits" testosterone supposedly has.

None of your statistics are an argument for banning or restricting trans athletes.
> - ‘gender’ is being misused as a synonym ‘gender roles’, which are defined by one’s sex.

Sure, “Gender” = “What gender role(s?) a person plays” is one way to put the social definition of gender. (Seems pretty succinct and workable, so you can drop the “misused”.)

Here's where you go wrong, though: Gender, in terms of what gender roles people play, is not always determined purely by biological sex.

There, no need to be confused any more. HTH!
My grandfather invested in a new apartment building back in the 50s. At the end of every day he'd go there with a case of beer for the construction workers. He said, "I want to make sure they care. So if they see a place where one nail is enough, they'll hammer in two nails just to be sure."

That's how I feel for my clients; I hammer in all the nails I can think of. The result is, usually I'm shocked by how few bugs there are in production. I've had business software running 24/7 that goes for years without any intervention. The occasional upgrade or minor UI fix. Error-proofing is the state of mind you're in when you write that parser and google for every edge case you can think of.

[edit] I just want to add another thought. There's such a thing as needing to ship. If you add every bell and whistle, every speed improvement and cache, you'll just keep going and never finish. The important thing is to think about these possibilities as you're writing the code, and document them so you know where the pain points might be if this software is still running much more intensively ten years down the road.
