> And the question that I ask myself after having read the book is: How can we achieve things with no burnout or ego-driven mindset?

I always read him as saying that the valuing of achievement itself comes from the depression/burnout society he observes in his native South Korea. Ie, we only obsess over achievement in the first place because society is so stratified and the stakes are so high if you fail.

I think he overall has a distaste for what he calls the 'achievement subject', and is more aligned with people like Baudrilliard in favouring individuation through developing a contemplative and very singular personal identity.
I like to think people can decide to kick coffee for themselves if they actually suffer from sleep deprivation.

I for one have coffee in the mornings and stare at my phone until I fall asleep, and I sleep like the dead at night. But, that's purely anecdotal.

I don't think people will listen to others saying 'stop drinking coffee!' or 'stop looking at screens!' if they don't actually have problems. On that note, one shouldn't start self-medicating with sleep hormones (currently available over the counter) to try and optimize their sleep. If you have to force yourself to sleep so you can min/max your day, you're heading to a crash and burnout.
ES6 a.k.a. ES2015 came out six years ago, and yet the article keeps on referring to ES6 in the present or future tense. I had to double-check the article to make sure that this really was written in 2021. The references to Redux and Flow feel similarly dated, now that React hooks are widely used.

I also just don't see how any of the ES6 features named in the article negate the need for a framework like React. React et al. are built on the DOM API more than any individual language feature.

All in all this article feels very confused.
Apparently drinking soda can lead to those problems.

Could it be that tea and coffee drinkers in general drink less soda?

Was that controlled for?

Alternatively maybe the soda studies are just proxies for tea and coffee.
Thanks, that's super helpful! Any thoughts on tools that help with the valuation like Equidam?
I dont think they are, they are open to basically everyone. It's more likely other-language forums, where language acts as a barrier for participation for outsiders.
For real, prophylaxis of enteral worms should have been more popular in developed countries.

It's amazing how hygiene practices are sometimes poor and tropical diseases are unknown in developed countries

But then you go visit somewhere and/or some animal product is imported in questionable ways and you get a worm. Which for 95% of people will be mildly inconsequential but it might also cause problems.

Is this a joke? ES6 is 6 years old.
09:15 GMT. Unlike what the report says, I haven't ordered anything from Amazon in the past week or so I don't think it's directly tied to a super recent purchase (although I probably used a Visa Credit card for whatever it was).
If I had to guess this is fall out from the rate increase Visa put in place after Brexit. Now that they are no longer restricted by pro-consumer caps they hiked the rates from 0.3% to 1.5% on credit card payments: https://www.ft.com/content/4820b619-4d35-4c6a-8523-fc685c047...
But that EU limit is for debit cards right? And Amazon is excluding the credit cards while still accepting visa debit.
Spot on. The developed world really has no excuses.

Mixed messaging by people in the media undercut a lot of support for the countermeasures, which was then further amplified using social media to pretend that scientists are divided in their opinions when in fact they weren't, except for a few lone holdouts, who - yay controversy - were given a disproportionate amount of airtime.

I got this issue with the newspaper "Le Monde" in France a couple of months ago. Had to send them a 8Euros letter to cancel the subscription.
You have to call or send a letter to cancel your subscription of the French newspaper LeMonde.

>> Most recently, HTTP/2 has become a concern that HTTP servers and clients have required substantial work to implement, but it is easy to say this is a separate protocol from HTTP, because even though it shares the same ports, a client that doesn't speak HTTP/2 when speaking to an HTTP server will not have to deal with them.

this can't be stressed enough. Even many well known sites have a setup where their internet facing sever talks HTTP/2 but the backend is HTTP/1.1.

This protocal downgrade into the backend opens you up to a world of pain like cache poisoning and request smuggling which are also really hard to detect unless you know what you're looking for. And seeing how common it is, I wonder if it wouldn't have been safer to not call it HTTP/2 but a totally different name, just so people understand the danger they are in by thinking that there is any kind of safe interoperability between them.
Really? Nice. There is no need to have Visa et al. take a 1-3% tax on everything.
You always justify it with something the people you need to support you deeply believe.

For instance, in Brazil, we went through a coup and elected a fascist because most people really believe the previous two governments were corrupt and would implement a communist dictatorship given time.

The fact they are not measurably more or less corrupt than their predecessors, that they formed a coalition with Center-right parties in order to govern, and that their platform is timidly social democratic were, and continue to be, largely ignored.

To the point that now, after more than 600 thousand avoidable deaths, unprecedented unemployment, countless corruption scandals directly connected to him, and the worst economic crisis since the 90’s, only 58% support his impeachment.
You must be an actual anomaly, like yeah, what you are saying makes sense, but you are the only person I've ever heard about who does that here in UK. Everyone I know, me included, just uses debit cards for purchases everywhere including Amazon. I have a credit card but I very very very rarely use it for anything.
Veterinarian here, used to ivermectin as it should be used - as an anti parasitic.

> Which things should not be green?

The broken ones is how I usually do it.

The automation doesn't need to do that, it doesn't need to analyse the situation. It needs to communicate "Hey. Our systems have seen this and have pinged humans, bear with" rather than "nope even though half the internet is down rn, it's all good baby"

Make a green tick a blue questionmark or something. It doesn't even need to admit fault, it just needs to not be useless. My goal visiting the page is to get a link I can send clients "Updates will be posted here". Nothing more.

Also if you're hosting your monitoring system on the same system it's monitoring you've just completely missed the point. At least use a different region within your cloud provider, better would be completely different provider. I'd even go as far as using different domains/TLDs to host the page if I was Google sized

Member lagadu nearby (root post) states it is the case of Portugal.

Edit: according to member t0mas88, it is not just Portugal, or the Netherlands as mentioned nearby: it should be a European directive, not yet implemented by all Members. I guess that this should push heavily on the service providers for general compliance (as opposed to changing the options according to geolocation, as another member here revealed mentioning California).
That's not really a source.
This practise is illegal in the UK and that's probably why they decided to this instead
> Programmers have cast themselves as gurus and rockstars, or as artisans, and to a large extent resisted democratization. In the web space, that has been very explicit: people who use HTML and CSS, but not sophisticated JavaScript, are “not real programmers.”

I think the author has a giant chip on his shoulders. I don't think LabView is a good example of democratization since it is a very special tool (an awesome one, even when pricey), completely neglecting the fact that developers spawned vast open source communities and shared ideas and concepts of problem solving. Compared to other engineering disciplines I don't think software engineering is in a bad place.

If you wanted, the information to learn programming is freely available, the author is just lazy and shouldn't blame it on developers. Telling the wrong dev that Javascript is sophisticated could spawn pimples of aggression, not denying that there are difficult personalities in the field at all.

On the contrary, I think current low code solutions are essentially binding you to certain technologies beyond the usual tech stack. Feel free and automate your workflows with MS Flow. It will be as democratic as MS wants it to be. Could be a nice tool, but you have to pay for every feature that empowers you more, like making http requests or executing in an administrative context. I fear for those that use it instead just learning some "sophisticated" Javascript.

Ever looked at the usual LabView user? Definitely nerds. The truth is that you need to invest time in it, it just won't fly into your arms. Same with any other profession or hobby.
I trialed Snowpack earlier this year and found I ran into quite a lot of hard to debug issues. Around the same time I saw that Rich Harris, creator of Svelte and Sveltekit, opted to use Vite over Snowpack for Sveltekit because more things, like CSS and and SASS, just worked out of the box.

I tried out Vite and it was a much smoother transition. As you said it seems to have more mindshare now and I would guess that is because the out of the box experience is better.
It sure as hell doesn't work like this for the newspaper Le Monde (in France). Sure you can sign/resign with Apple/Google but if you sign with e-mail, you have to mail a physical letter to resign (8Euros one with proof of delivery and all)
You're not pardoned. You could have edited that, but decided not being rude wasn't worth the effort of deleting a single sentence? Maybe just don't write the first condescending thing that pops into your mind.

If ivermectin worked as an antiviral prophylactic, it's another tool to use with better stability in storage and transportation, it's cheaper, and immediately useful for places that don't have refrigeration or access to vaccines, or can't use them for medical reasons. It could be effective against coronaviruses generally, which would be great.

It would also probably mean a novel mechanism of action which could lead to new drugs. From a purely scientific standpoint, it's a wonderful thing to get more out of microbe based medicines since they're so easy to culture.

Iterating over different chemistry using crispr solves many manufacturing issues, and makes drug r&d vastly more accessible around the world. A determined high school science geek could produce ivermectin, but mrna vaccines require multi million dollar labs.

The evidence isn't strong, to be perfectly clear, but the payoff is more than just a "stupid" less effective vaccine alternative.
It's cynical, I know, but can't keep from wondering whether your npm package has already been compromised by another hidden flaw to prevent us from finding out which older ones are at risk?

> With all of that said, it can be really hard to sell JS veterans on TS. Intellisense in webstorm and the like can be quite powerful, especially if they drank the JSDoc kool-aid, so it can be tough to really clearly spell out the advantages since their tooling mimics a type system already.

As someone who is not sold on TS and writes JS every day, what advantages does TS provide over JSDoc? Both are just valid during compile/build/transpile time, so they seem mostly the same, except one is built and pushed by a huge company that has a history of supressing open source, while the other one is built by the community for the community.
Pretty much all Australian & New Zealand cards use a system called EFTPOS[1] in addition to Visa / MasterCard credit since the 80s. Fees are virtually nil, and payments are instant. They cannot be used for online purchases though, I believe.

I've left the "I could be blackmailed"-days behind me. There was a time when I was worried about what of me people could find online. Nowadays, it's "yes, that was me. Have fun with it."
>>one for receiving money,

What do you mean debit card for receiving money? In what sense?

>> Automated payment from the 1st one to the 2nd one

Again, I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that. Payment from a debit card to a debit card? What?
Bonus points for writing it digitally and using your favourite proper or janky method of timestamping - dates on paper are meaningless, even with a signature (which is also meaningless itself).

Emailing it to someone seems to be the go-to recommendation online, but you might not want to expose the information at the time. Some alternatives, in descending order of jank: a Google Doc, unlisted Pastebin, either of those but only post the hash and keep the file offline, a proper TSP timestamp - the latter is actually near-trivial these days with something like freeTSA.org.
Social Protocols – An Introduction
That’s deeply ahistorical, given that early Protestantism had scarcely more tolerance for diversity of thought than the Catholicism of the same period did. In the Reformation period (1517-1555 or 1648, depending on one’s periodisation choices), the majority of both Protestants and Catholics agreed that the government had the right to impose one version of Christianity on the population and prohibit (with force, even capital punishment) any competing versions of it (to say nothing of non-Christian religions or non-religion), their chief disagreement was over which version of Christianity the state should so impose, whether Catholicism or some version of Protestantism – and Protestants often displayed as much intolerance for competing versions of Protestantism as Catholics and Protestants displayed for each other. Whereas today, both the Catholic Church and the vast majority of Protestant churches officially agree that religious freedom is an important value that every government ought to respect. And how they both got from rejecting religious freedom to embracing it is a complicated story, but I think one should avoid overly simplistic versions of it (such as ones in which all the heroes are Protestant and all the villains are Catholic)
Get your first users and start growing
How to get your first customers & grow your start up?

It's no secret that customer acquisition is one of the most challenging aspects of starting up. But there are some tips and tricks you can use to get your first customers, even if you're just getting started.

## *Getting your first customers*

In an environment such as the tech industry where products are quickly evolving, it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve and create products that are mobile, social and tech-enabled.

To get started, the first thing you should do is find your ideal customer.

Of course, you will also need a target market, so find out how many people are using your product. You go the usual route of using Google analytics, you can calculate the amount of visits your app or website has received.

To then get your first users, you'll need to know how to get the word out. That's where acquisition channels come in.

acquisition channels are a clever way to target the most relevant users you have in the short amount of time. What’s more, you can promote your startup to get feedback and acquire early users.

We know It's hard to get your first users and most start-ups waste countless hours researching growth channels that simply won't work for them. We've done the research and created a list of over 115 acquisition channels that will help you get more users, fast! Save hours of research for the next acquisition channel

Honestly, i feel that JS needs an official standard library. Also, wouldn't it be nice if typescript was a first class citizen (no transpiling).
Had a similar issue with a US publication recently. They emailed to say "Your subscription of $120 has automatically been renewed, please check your card details or contact us to alter it."

Fortunately the card they have expired last December.
Wow, it's been years since I've been aware of 'do you accept my card' being an issue for anyone (AmEx a bit still of course, but even that much less). And even then it was little places, not international behemoths.
If nothing else, I think Searle was right to point out that the example raises interesting questions about the usefulness of the Turing Test since, by hypothesis, the Chinese Room could pass it.

The other part of the thought experiment, apart from imagining the room, is to imagine how complex the turing test might be.

When people imagine what a Turing Test conversation would look like, they frequently underestimate the conversation. I find Dennet's example of an imaginary Turing Test from Consciousness Explained to be a good counterexample:

Judge: Did you hear about the Irishman who found a magic lamp? When he rubbed it a genie appeared and granted him three wishes. “I’ll have a pint of Guiness!” the Irishman replied and immediately it appeared. The Irishman eagerly set to sipping and then gulping, but the level of Guiness in the glass was always magically restored. After a while the genie became impatient. “Well, what about your second wish?” he asked. Replied the Irishman between gulps, “Oh well, I guess I’ll have another one of these.”

CHINESE ROOM: Very funny. No, I hadn’t heard it– but you know I find ethnic jokes in bad taste. I laughed in spite of myself, but really, I think you should find other topics for us to discuss.

J: Fair enough but I told you the joke because I want you to explain it to me.

CR: Boring! You should never explain jokes.

J: Nevertheless, this is my test question. Can you explain to me how and why the joke “works”?

CR: If you insist. You see, it depends on the assumption that the magically refilling glass will go on refilling forever, so the Irishman has all the stout he can ever drink. So he hardly has a reason for wanting a duplicate but he is so stupid (that’s the part I object to) or so besotted by the alcohol that he doesn’t recognize this, and so, unthinkingly endorsing his delight with his first wish come true, he asks for seconds. These background assumptions aren’t true, of course, but just part of the ambient lore of joke-telling, in which we suspend our disbelief in magic and so forth. By the way we could imagine a somewhat labored continuation in which the Irishman turned out to be “right” in his second wish after all, perhaps he’s planning to throw a big party and one glass won’t refill fast enough to satisfy all his thirsty guests (and it’s no use saving it up in advance– we all know how stale stout loses its taste). We tend not to think of such complications which is part of the explanation of why jokes work. Is that enough?

Dennett: “The fact is that any program that could actually hold up its end in the conversation depicted would have to be an extraordinary supple, sophisticated, and multilayered system, brimming with “world knowledge” and meta-knowledge and meta-meta-knowledge about its own responses, the likely responses of its interlocutor, and much, much more…. Maybe the billions of actions of all those highly structured parts produce genuine understanding in the system after all.”
It's insane, isn't it?

Can you imagine someone claiming it's wrong to use a framework like ASP.NET or Entity Framework instead of "vanilla dotnet"? Or that it's wrong to use Laravel instead of "vanilla PHP"? Or Spring instead of "vanilla Java"?
In a way, it's even better than credit card: You can not set a limit - except contractually, but you can enforce it. You can do the charge-back yourself (via the Bank's website) within like 6 or 9 months of the transaction.
This will cost the vendor a lot (relatively speaking) money and is pretty easy to do. However, if there is any doubt about who is right, an action like that will lead them to invoice you all associated costs, send it to collections and then a legal fight begins.

Which I guess why many businesses prefer Klarna or other payment processors. You login with your bank account and then wire the money to them, instead of them pulling the money. Then, no chargebacks are possible.
Faxes aren't that big either. I never liked them, never owned one, and I remember sending two faxes in my life. Maybe a few I don't remember. The last one was... to cancel a mobile phone contract.

It's illegal everywhere in the EU as well. If a merchant accepts debit/credit cards then they are not allowed to charge extra for using them.
You have a few options.

1. Have you been growing less since those competitors have come into the space? If you didn’t know they existed, would you even be worried? Have you actually lost any customers to them? If not I wouldn’t worry.

2. Are you making enough money to pay you and the other founders a good bonus or a dividend? It sounds like you just want some cash for all your efforts.

3. You talked about a partial exit. My previous company was acquired and spun out. You can effectively do the same thing by trying to get acquired but retain some equity and keep working for the company.

4. You could also raise money, valuations are the best they have ever been.
The recommendation for using a certified letter is that you (as customer) have an independent paper trail to make your case should it go to court. At least in NL, a certified letter should not be required by the company itself.
> men are financially better after divorce women worst.

Does that take into account how much work both are putting in towards earning? Or it's just considering the net numbers? Women may be worse financially looking at just the numbers, however, may still be ahead when their efforts into earning are taken in account. Or when the damages they did are properly taken into account for determining what the position of justice should be.
The difference in ports is due to SSL/TLS expected to be automatically applied on 465 iirc like 80/443 for HTTP(S) (you can also encrypt 25 by issuing STARTTLS after setting up a connection but it's not the default and might fail I think).

Authentication with mail is separate, usually to allow for relaying whilst anyone can usually drop emails IFF your server is the destination.

Confusing and needlessly complex? Yep. Natural result as of uncontrolled evolution? Yep.

Cancellation by mail is always fine, no company can opt out of it in a legal way. You don't even need to get the address right, you can mail it to any subsidiary of the company - it is the companys responsibility to correctly route it internally. You can even directly address it to the CEO and at "persönlich" to it. My favorite.
