To answer your question, basetool is only a proxy between the browser and your data source when it comes to your data. We don't store any of your data at any point in time. We also purposefully haven't created any tooling that impersonate users accounts while an admin. Those are not our intentions.

Regarding meta-data, we are storing the table names and column names when a user creates a setting on them, but that's about it. We're not storing any or the queries made queries either.

Regarding telemetry, we don't collect any for the self-hosted version. We should probably add some, with opt-out of course option and anonymized too.

It's not infinite demand. That's something you came up with to prove your point. It's highly elevated demand, and supply isn't keeping up with that elevated demand. You can't separate out demand and supply insofar as causal attribution of price changes goes. It's the interaction of both that makes the price.

Not OP but I have a really high threshold for this. I don't want to own a house and rent because of this.
The same way that you verify that the local chicken plant is properly following contamination prevention procedures. You don’t, at least not personally. We as a society rely on government based regulations and knowledgeable inspectors to verify these things. I’d say software should be no different in these regards.

Because that's what voters want. If true self-driving cars ever become a reality, there's going to be a big demand spike for more and bigger roads.
This is still a local thing. The Feds don't have jurisdiction.

You need to either 1) file a police report and an insurance claim, and let things play out, or 2) hire a lawyer. In either case, the Tesla has excellent dash cam video and flight-recorder black box data which can be subpoenaed/demanded.

Beyond that, you have no other options. Certainly not the NTSB or NHTSA.

The problem is knowing what's actually broken in the first place. A friend of mine took their laptop to Geeksquad and they told my friend the power circuit was broken and the motherboard needs replacing. I checked the charger and realized the charger was broken and told them to buy a new one and what do you know it works fine. Most people are generally incapable of figuring out what actually is broken and will go to a repair place anyway. Or if the device is old enough they will just buy a new one. These days devices last a long time if you take care of them physically so by the time something starts failing it's likely already time for an upgrade for most people.

So the actual DIY repairability of laptops just doesn't matter for the vast majority of people. What Framework is doing is awesome amazing though and I hope it does encourage companies to make easier to repair computers to lower the actual cost of repairs.

I switched from Arch to Fedora in 2015. I don't miss anything from AUR. When I was on Arch, I used a bunch of stuff from AUR, but I honestly can't remember what I used.

So, it seems like it's worked out okay. I honestly got tired of using Arch and configuring everything. Things would break, and I'd have to figure out how to fix it. What broke the camel's back was when my window manager, awesome, broke. Don't get me started on the name 'awesome' for a window manager and how difficult it was to search for solutions to problems. By that time, I had grown older, and I just wanted something to work, and Fedora works fine for me.
Because they think the tradeoff is worth it. You may not, but some do.

28/M myself, and if I ever ended up with that kind of money, the first thing I would do is focus on my health. I'm very overweight and out of shape and never seem to be able to muster the motivation outside of work to do anything comprehensive about it. I'd love to just be able to quit and consider fitness my full-time job for a year or two.

Depending on exactly how much I made, these are daydreams I've had before:

Start a "company" that focuses purely on open source contribution. Pay people tech salaries just to work on open source projects they care about. My main intent would be to focus on areas where no decent open source software exists or is dominated by a small number of complacent companies that consider it a license to print money.

Learn how to teach and mentor kids, then do it. My mom is a high school computer science and math teacher, and I always wonder how much more effective she could be if funding for equipment wasn't an issue. My students would have access to whatever I thought could benefit their education.

Be a stay-at-home father. My mom was a stay-at-home mom until I turned 16, and my dad worked from home when I was 8 through 12 (the years following the dotcom crash) I started learning to program and got into robotics at 8 years old and I don't think I would've been nearly as successful starting at that age if I didn't have access to both of my parents pretty much constantly. If I ever have children, I would want to give them the same or better. Try to guide them along whatever piques their interest and enable them to access the resources to do well.

My personal view on life is that there really isn't any higher meaning to it. I'm content to wander the Earth finding and doing interesting things until the day I die.

Interesting. Zoom has held its own well against Teams, but I'm not sure Notion has reached comparable escape velocity / sufficiently strong network effects yet. With well-funded Coda on one side and now Microsoft Loop on the other, I'm curious as to how this competition is going to play out.

Even before this, one conclusion I had drawn from seeing Coda trying to out-raise and overtake Notion from a standing start is that in the current market environment, as an entrepreneur in any space that is not niche, you may well not have the luxury of building a good product, setting up a sustainable business model, taking a moderate amount of VC funding (I'm not even saying completely self-funding), growing at a 'merely' fast pace. It was clear to me why that was the case with 'purer' network-effects B2C businesses like ridesharing and social media. But I hadn't really thought of office software like that before. So much for all the VCs who like B2B SaaS because it's straightforward as compared to the 'all-or-nothing' B2C app world...

Is the fact that the story is set 20,000 years into the future instead of 10,000 really "necessary"? After discussing the film with friends who have no exposure to the books, I think the constrained scope helped make the film easier to digest.

People with HA production experience can easily vibe with points made by Broccoli Man. Yes, these things make a lot of sense if you actually want to get code running reliably, especially at scale (organizational and userbase).

But we must not forget how this can look from the point of view of someone who hasn't had to deal with a page due to an entire datacenter going offline, who's not aware of all the hundreds of small things that can go wrong by doing the 'obvious' thing. I think the video is more of a way to poke fun at the optics of this (and some of the overly arcane stuff involved), rather than at the idea of high availability being useless. At least that's how I've always felt about it, a way to remind SREs to respect their internal users (simplify! automate! document!) and that what makes sense to them might look ridiculous to others.
We have these in BC - they were adopted in response to overseas real estate investment (and other factors) driving the Vancouver housing market insane. Canada also has a number of programs that make property purchase for new homeowners more affordable by waving some taxes and allowing interest free borrowing from your retirement fund. So the fight to keep housing affordable for everyone is a difficult one.

One of the issues is that when these sorts of policies initially roll out you tend to see a contradictory effect of sudden spiking in prices as a lot of people who were on the fence suddenly decide to add to the housing market demand - but over time these policies tend to settle in a place where thing are more affordable.

The other issue is that the renewal period for first time home owner benefits is quite long, so if you are exiting a long term relationship or trying to pick yourself up after bankruptcy you can be forced to enter the market as if you were a well established asset holder.

I'm still surprised about how slow they can make an hour-long episode. Between fistfights, face closeups and gratuitous sex scenes and drama, barely anything advances. It's following the Star Trek Discovery formula but in slow motion.
While I certainly can't speak for everyone - I've had a 2011 Dell Inspiron that I upgraded from the i5-2450m to an i7-2670qm a couple years ago. Additionally the RAM and HDD were upgraded/swapped for SSDs.

The computer now lives with my mom, who needs a simple but reliable device. The i5 was sold on ebay for a few bucks to some lad or lasse who may have needed it for a cheap laptop build.
Decade old computers aren't vastly different from today in terms of day to day use. Capabilities and high performance is one thing, but using devices longer, and upgrading entire systems less frequently is both better for your wallet, and better for the environment.
Imagine you are a top executive at said real estate company and are trying to decide what to do:

1. Invest heavily in real estate, prices keep going up, company gets rich, you get a huge bonus and buy a yacht bigger than Cleveland.

2. Invest heavily in real estate, prices drop, company stock plummets, you're still rich and still have your football-field-sized yacht.

3. Don't invest heavily in real estate, prices keep going up, company misses out, you're still rich and still have your football-field-sized yacht.

4. Don't invest heavily in real estate, prices drop, company doesn't get hurt, you're still rich and still have your football-field-sized yacht.

There's one clearly winning strategy.

Which it may be doing here, by removing infrastructure and people from running and maintaining a feature, resources that can then be used on features that have a better effect on the bottom line.

Or are you believing that it is entirely about “finding balance” morally (or at least in the court of public opinion), rather than balancing the bottom line financially (even if just in part)?

Here's where Facebook's brand reputation sits in my mind today:

I do not believe them at all. I do not believe they've had some change of heart regarding "many concerns about the place of facial recognition technology in society." I do not believe they intend to not use this technology in some other privacy-invading way.

Trying to figure out their real angle here. Avoid regulation? "Good" PR at a time when they desperately need it? A broader existential threat that I can't even fathom at the level of power their company currently wields in society?

Probably not much at this point they could do to change my absolute negative opinion of the company though, so there's that.
Maybe take a look at htaccess/htpasswd. I've been setting up docker containers and have proxied them using traefik. Most of them have built in auth of some kind but for those that don't, htaccess seems to be doing the job. Not sure about the security implications though.(I've mostly used it on a local network so security was not a concern for me) This works well for services that you want to use for yourself only.
Where does "these are really good points, but why don't we have tooling which sets everything up automatically?" fit on the scale?
Where does apple do it? They do it in iPhoto but it is based on what you tell it, and is opt out. Where else?
If you can match a golden ratio to everything, then it cannot identify anything. Certainly not beauty or good interfaces.

We dont need to shutdown anything early. Those are all amortized for their time. When we can, we eliminate those things as they come of age.
Yes, you can operate strictly on typed arrays and essentially implement something alike a virtual machine inside your JS code to make it handle memory efficiently, so you're right - it's not "fundamentally impossible", but are you still really writing JavaScript at that point? :P

At the end of it all you'll probably be happy with Ubiquiti. Pretty flexible spread of products and features that you could likely adapt to a change of living arrangements without major upheaval. For myself I wasn't quite willing to pay the price delta since I didn't need most of their feature set.

As someone who missed the early Rails train, I'm not really seeing a lot to love anymore.

It seems like Rails tried to do exactly what MSFT was doing with ASP.net - Give an excellent set of defaults you don't have to think about.

The problem with that (and it's the same problem in Rails) is that "excellent defaults" change rapidly - much more rapidly than most production code-bases.

So you end up with outdated defaults, and documentation fragments everywhere (this is actually FAR worse in Rails, because ruby hands you a million and a half ways to accomplish most tasks).

The end result is a framework with a ton of baggage, poor documentation, and riddled with "That way is not proper anymore" style footguns.

It's quick to knock stuff out with, but the second your team is bigger than 10 devs - Rails is a fucking ugly beast.

Honestly - ASP.net was crap, and I prefer it to modern rails on large teams.

---

So no - I personally don't see Ruby making a big comeback anytime soon, since its poster child - Rails - kinda sucks these days (and no disrespect to the authors, I think this problem is unavoidable in frameworks that give opinionated defaults - 1 set of opinionated defaults is awesome, 6 different sets of opinionated defaults that are no longer compatible is fugly, but if you don't update your opinionated defaults the framework rots anyways.)

That said - I actually quite like Ruby as a scripting language. I just really wish it hadn't become so tightly bound to Rails.

Just like I quite enjoy C# compared to java, but I still don't want to write ASP.net applications.
