It's pretty funny how some of your most recent previous comments on HN could easily be labelled by some as "misinformation" in today's world.

I run three different saas products as a solo. Here’s some things I’ve picked up:

Some things can be simpler when there’s only one of you. Take those opportunities when they arise.

You don’t need remote CI when there’s only one dev. Just make running the test suite part of your deploy script.

Use hosted services. Sure it would be cheaper to rent a server from OVH and do it all yourself. You don’t have time for that. You’re saving money on staff, spend a little on a hosted database, k8s, etc.

I love Google Cloud Run. Love it. Seamless deploys, dead easy rollbacks, inbuilt secret management, etc.

Micro services are about scaling teams, not technology. You’re a team of one, that’s probably the number of services you should have.
Education. People must be educated and trained in critical thinking, so they can spot the bullshit spread by other persons and also by the government (like the "weapons of mass destruction").
Not everybody is a native English speaker.
The vaccination centers can double as infusion centers. The therapy kicks in immediately, you’re back to normal the next day. It’s really a wonderdrug and weird we haven’t heard more about it.

I never considered the cost of the device to be 400 euros. The price is around 600 euros all in. If I ever need to buy seperate accessories I can do so for 120 euro or 60 (for the pen).
Yes and no.. on a strict thermodynamics basis, it's not. If you're say 30lbs overweight (i.e. some, but not much), straight up burning that is going to require considerable patience and discipline to not destroy your body in the process. Each lb of fat is - very roughly - equivalent to running a marathon.

However, being physically active makes you more aware and mindful of the input side of the equation; building muscle mass, cardiovascular fitness and endurance in turn improves your metabolic ability to burn calories. So it's absolutely part of the picture. "The Miracle Pill" by Peter Walker is an excellent introduction to the topic.

Very true.

People used to see working as a normal part of life, and used to invest part of their salary in solid funds to retire on those investments later. Those in well-paying jobs expected to retire on a bigger amount than those in less well paid jobs.

Nowadays, people seem to view the idea of working as an insult and want to retire in their 30's on some insane gambling profits, both in the /r/wsb community, in the FI/RE community and the bitcoinists.

I do wonder what caused this attitude change over the last 10y or so.

The rule should be host your status page on your competitor's cloud. If you're AWS, host it in Azure, if you're Azure, host it in GCP, if you're GCP, host it in AWS. (Linode, Digital Ocean, OVH, etc can do their own dance.)
Bitcoin mining is not a buyer of last resort, it's a capital asset that the owner wants to be run continuously in order to make back the capital expense, and produces no ultimately useful output.
you sketch a good frame to help think about this challenge holistically. the list of failed initiatives is by now so large it almost gives you a statistical sample of factors to take into account (I contributed a data point once - one of the <10K firefox-os/zte users :-(

but somehow the numbers could/should add up at some point. If you think (ballpark) a billion devices in circulation and assume that 1-in-1000 people has a combination of awareness and ability to afford a private / open source device, that is your 1M right there.

this should be a very conservative estimate. it assumes that people (more precisely those who claim to represent their best interests) will continue with the inexcusable practice of governments "not interfering" with the "market" (in quotes because it not a real market when you have two options). While some governments slowly take legislative steps in the data privacy space, I have never seen any actual warning from official lips about privacy (the way they warn about assuming financial risk, being overweight, drunk driving, not getting vaccinated etc).

maybe the current business model only stands due to the "subsidy through silence"?
How is 18 percent a majority of anything?

I learned very early in my software career that software at giant employers is half decoration and bullshit for people who need patterns, frameworks, and toys to do their jobs. That is a tremendous amount of unnecessary fluff that wastes people’s time. I also learned that by not dicking around with all the bullshit you could finish your entire days work in less than 2 hours (often producing a more durable and better performing solution) freeing up the rest of the day for scenic walks, side projects, self-education, and leisure reading.
I don’t think any of them are reliable enough to cite, on their name alone, as the foundation for a logical argument where “because X said so” is treated as absolute ground truth. That’s the essence of the “appeal to authority” logical fallacy.

Are they trustworthy enough to modify behavior in ways that appear proportionate to the risk when they make an recommendation and show their reasoning and whatever data they have? Yes, of course, but that’s no longer based on their name/reputation alone and, because it’s only a temporary behavior change, it has a much lower standard of proof.
It's already proven not to be safe. If you overheat a pan and breath it in you'll come down with flu like symptoms and nausea.
Pre-covid definitely seems like the better baseline to use here, because lockdowns may have prevented some other deaths in 2020.

For the 2015-2019 data, I would be interested in seeing the standard deviation, not just the mean, to be able to judge how likely such a deviation is, historically. The fact that female deaths show a similar order of magnitude change in the opposite direction makes me suspect this may be within the noise?
It smells like some person/team trying to get a promotion for launching a big new feature, rather than their perf packet saying "added option to not terminate after 24h".

> However, in the literature the overall mortality rate for myocarditis after one year is 20% and after five years 44% to 56%.

I haven't looked in to this but if this is correct it's orders of magnitude larger than what my intuition after all the discussion of myocarditis had led me to believe.

Hopefully there's a confounding factor such as old age and other comorbidities I'm missing.

> The purpose of this document and associated code is to convince you of a few things:

> That it is feasible to remove the GIL from Python.
> That the tradeoffs are manageable and the effort to remove the GIL is worthwhile.

...

> Removing the GIL will require making trade-offs and taking on substantial risk:

> Removing the GIL will be a large, multi-year undertaking with increased risk for introducing bugs and regressions.
> Removing the GIL means making trade-offs between single and multi-threaded performance. I believe we can make a future CPython without the GIL that is faster for both single and multi-threaded workloads than current CPython, but if we keep the GIL and focus solely on single-threaded workloads, we would achieve even better single-threaded performance. (See the “Performance” section for more details.)

I don't want to be too cynical (I am after all not critiquing the details), but this is basically how every remove the GIL project starts. many intelligent people have tried. Many have failed. There are just so many trade-offs, compatibility issues, etc. I'm not personally against this project, but really I'd rather read a document describing the successful result rather than outlining the goals.

That said work on cpython that tries to clean up internal state has gone on for many years and is great. That sort of thing might make removing the GIL more reasonable in the future, but also makes the code easier to understand and work with in the present.

Regardless of my negativity, I wish the author good luck!

Yet here you are, defending the idea that we would be better off by leaning heavier into bureaucracy and collective compliance as a way to "internal" peace.

> Germany lies on a cultural bedrock of fundamental individualism (...) a lot of Germans would find your "bite-less protesting" as a mischaracterization.

Great. Now try to explain Switzerland. They are not exactly known for a "love of bureaucracy" or "the (national) collective taking precedence over the individual", yet they managed to get peace (internal and external) through centuries.

Do you see my point? You are trying to attribute to "bureaucracy" something that can be attributed to a bunch of other things. It is a bad generalization and a basic fundamental attribution error. This is what smells of IYI crap.

And what you and awrence wrote is precisely what I meant by how Bitcoin shills and addicts ignore and deny and marginalize and whataboutify its environmental impact. Thank you two for such an unwittingly perfect and prompt illustration of my point.

Artificial snow doesn't cause shilling and gambling addiction, and HN isn't plagued by thousands of foaming-at-the-mouth Artificial Snow Shills who leap to its defense with rationalizations and excuses and whataboutisms and diversions like you and awrence just leaped to Bitcoin's defense.

awrence> I was just emphasizing how people point fingers at Proof of Work without considering the immense negative environmental externalities generated by the current fiat system.

No you weren't. Your comment didn't mention anything about Proof of Work or the current fiat system. We can all agree that it was pure unadulterated whataboutism, which proves my point (edit: as does your following reply. You even admitted yourself that what you wrote wasn't an argument for Bitcoin. It's pure whataboutism!). Thank you.

awrence> Whether bitcoin is a net positive environmentally or not is a different debate.

That debate is long over, and you already lost it. But you're trying to divert the conversation away from that debate you can't win, instead of offering any proof of your ridiculous theory that bitcoin is a net positive environmentally, because you and I and everyone else all know that bitcoin has a terribly negative environmental impact, and very few practical applications.

How to Boot Linux ISO Images Directly from Your Hard Disk Drive
I get your point and this conversation might be as old as Laravel itself. I would like to point out a couple of things though:

The "hop in and be productive" part is directly related to Laravel being pretty opinionated. It's hard to have the one without the other. I think it's comparable to Steve Jobs, who had pretty strong opinions about certain things, too. The end result is a "product" that doesn't try to be the right fit for everyone.

Livewire, just like Jetstream[1] etc. is opt-in. When Jetstream was introduced, there was quite an uproar (by parts of the community) about Laravel forcing users into Livewire or Inertia[2]. The end result was (imho) a very healthy shift in communication around it (to emphasize the opt-in part), followed by the introduction of Breeze[3], which goes to show that Taylor does recognize the reservations some people may have about those new shiny toys.

It's a very natural thing that big projects like that will have an ever-growing feature set. That is an important part of keeping existing users excited. The Jetstream-discussion has been an important lesson for the team (I hope) and I'm glad it ended the way it did.

You can still build your Laravel app in a pretty similar fashion as you would have done 5 years ago and if you want, you can make use of the recent additions, so I think there's not too much to worry about to be honest. If you have outgrown the magic, isn't it pretty amazing that you can drop down one level of abstraction and just use symfony? Also, do you think you would've grasped many of the underlying features of symfony, if it wasn't for Laravel's opinionated wrapping in a nicer syntax (pardon my oversimplification)?

Nevertheless, I think it's good to keep up the warning signs and have this discussion from time to time. ;-)

The fact that Guardian used this example simply causes them to lose credibility.

Any half wit can see that Gavin’s case is not one of people opting to choose work where they have more time rather than money.

This is yet another clear example of people trying to sell ads by creating “engagement” via content that causes outrage, even though it is nonsensical.

More and more I feel that the real damage is not done to time, but to attention.

It is fairly simple to reorganize your time, it does take willpower but once you do it that's all your time back to you.

On the other hand it requires actual effort and practice to be conscious and present in the task at hand after getting used to mindless entertainment, it requires a process to gradually take it back. I worry about the upcoming generations that deal with this in their growing stages.
Okay, I want the whole project by the end of the day. /s

It just doesn't work. Complexity of tasks, scope, resources all make for something that is very hard to measure.

I agree with your sentiment, but it's hard to execute.

However, the high-functioning teams I've been part of are certainly not checking if you're sitting in your seat at 9/5. They're not even worried if you take a long lunch, because they know that you can't cram every second of the day with programming work, but doing so 'in secret' is not okay.
