I prefer goaccess(1) over any other tool that uses client side Javascript.

It's basically a real time website log analyser which gives you enough information to know whats happening on your website but doesn't require any pesky Javascript etc to do it.

Also since it is works by analysing your log files it can never be blocked.

That's why I have them disabled in my gmail accounts, I have several missed important emails because they landed in the wrong section. I disabled them in my work email too. My boss keep it on and it causes my boss issues with missing RFQ and requests.

I went with Keepass, it is free, open source, cross-platform. Been using Keepass for 10 years. I control my data and my file, so I don't need to worry about potential data breach which several other SaaS password management failed to keep it secure. My keepass database (vault) resides in my OneDrive and synced across all of my devices that have Keepass. And I like Keepass will generate a backup of the database before saving the entry in case of corruption. It happened to me once 5 years ago and it was in Dropbox storage that time, somehow Dropbox failed to sync the change and ended up corrupting the synced vault across of my devices. I have 260+ entries in my keepass.

Neat thing about Keepass, it can check haveibeenpwned.com and compare the password in my vault. It generated a list of password that need to be changed.

> I don't really consider it solved, has Ticketmaster solved festival passes in a way everyone likes?

I hate Ticketmaster as much as the next guy, but had a fine experience with the resellers (e.g. StubHub) which offer many things NFTs do not - like customer service (with an actual phone number), a centralized record if I lose my ticket, refunds if the seller mis-represents, no requirement to buy an asset that will likely fluctuate wildly in price, and transaction fees likely lower than gas fees. Not sold on giving up those benefits.

> If you want to pretend to own something valuable or be part of a community you can still do that. I don't really understand what that means to you. I guess that's a good follow up question, what does that mean to you?

I haven't been part of one of these communities, so hard to comment on the value of being a true member or just appearing to be one. If Bored Apes lost 99% of their value, would the community remain equally rich and engaged? What do they truly have in common?

> If NYTimes stopped making infinite memberships, paid monthly, and instead limited it to, say, 100,000 memberships and some of their operation was funded by a portion of royalties when one of the membership was traded, what would the memberships cost?

I'm skeptical limiting access to quality journalism and inflating the price can really be counted as a good use case. For a Soho House membership, I'd much prefer to pay a monthly rate based on what I'm receiving - rather than speculate that (a) they'll continue improving the offer, such that the value of my token will increase; (b) the broader NFT market won't crash.

Soho House's financial team would also likely want to project their earnings next year without making assumptions around sustained interest in NFTs.
Often these false alarm incidents occur due to issues with the "last mile" of the system in the US, which might be substantially alleviated if there was a federal effort to get automation in place. In a nuclear strike, for example, NORAD would issue the alarm ("attack warning") via FEMA NAWAS and EAS after several documented and proceduralised validation steps.

The problem is that after FEMA NAWAS delivers the alert (audibly) to state and local EOCs, the next step is a ???. In those areas that do have some type of state or locally operated warning system, it's usually just some staff member pushing a button... and the button pushing is where mistakes can and do get made. In theory IPAWS and CAP will introduce automation at this step, but there's a lot of issues that have made CAP implementation slow, mainly the budgetary limitations of local governments and the fact that the major IPAWS/CAP software vendors expect very high prices.

Obviously in the case of earthquake warnings the options for manual validation are very limited due to the time constraints... but in general false-positive incidents have come from fat fingering, not misidentification by technical systems. There are good opportunities to put safeguards in place for automated systems to reduce false positives. For example (although I believe this is partly manual), as I understand it the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center will not issue a full warning until multiple data buoys have indicated a tsunami wave. That doesn't guarantee that it will be of damaging proportions once it reaches our coasts due to the vagaries of ocean modeling (i.e. in the case of the major Japanese earthquake in which a tsunami did occur but was quite small by the time it reached Hawaii, so the warnings felt a bit silly), but it does ensure that it's not an outright false positive.
One issue we've had with FreeFileSync is that the 'portable' functionality of it is a paid-only feature. As are removing ads. We'd rebuild it ourselves and rename it if needed, but the source code requires patched libraries and has no/incomplete build instructions. Neither I nor anyone else I know was able to get it to build, at least over the many years I played with it. That's why the version we make available at PortableApps.com is still version 6.2, that last version that didn't purposely break portability.

>>After some time with no progress in figuring out what sticks, it’s time to step away from that approach.

That's exactly what motivated me to make a habit of going to SO first. But I don't just go there looking to copy and paste. I go there to learn and always review all the solutions given and the history and comments on them.

It was a struggle though because I was ornery and had made a habit of trying to figure everything out on my own. I generally know the logic required but struggled with the syntax to implement it.

Since I made that a habit I have learned so much from contributors there and made huge gains in productivity.

They don't really give a good or direct reason to "step away" from SO here though. It's really more about crafting code you can read and understand and that's good advice.
Unfortunately, this doesn't encourage the vaccine-hesitant or those who are persuaded by those they know vs those they don't. Quite the opposite.
I follow an unwritten rule that I will always congratulate anyone on shipping anything. Shipping anything is hard and deserves praise, so congratulations!

Unfortunately I'm also realizing that I got to a point in life where I just roll my eyes when I see yet another note-taking, or to-do app, or any other spin on the same trivial problem that we solved 1000 years ago and now are just beating a dead horse, almost like a developer endlessly rewriting a piece of code to make it perfect instead of taking the old "it's good enough" approach and moving on to fix the other problems in the codebase.

The note-taking apps are good enough. Even pen and paper is good enough.

I know I shouldn't react like that, because it's not fair to the author - they had an idea for a better product and worked hard to ship it, and probably learnt a ton along the way; maybe they'll even make a good chunk of money, but is there no point at which we're allowed to say "You don't get much praise anymore because you're the millionth developer who figured out how to duct tape some methods written by others to create a weather app. We collectively ran out of praise for solutions in that specific problem domain. And we're sure as hell not paying for it"?

I feel like everyone's just trying to make a buck with their tiny spin on the same idea. Of course there's a subscription on the note-taking app. And let me guess, the next note-taking app is going to have more real-time interactions, and fancy animations, and it's going to sync with the notes your cat takes and you can print them out once a month on this slick looking notepad that gets mailed to you.

I hate that I ended up old and cynical. I used to have starry eyes.

> often an order of magnitude out of whack for companies that prefer a horizontal-first scaling approach

This is practically worth its own thread, so I will.

I think it’s the principle of the excluded middle biting us on the ass again. Vertical first risks having people assume shared state across events. Everything collects in memory, because look at all of the “unused” memory that nobody will complain about me using for my dumb feature because nobody is looking yet (when the moments are still teachable).

To your hardware point, many people don’t understand how that “free” memory is used by the OS to reduce mean response time. So they overload the machine and don’t bother trying to do anything until they hit 80%, when the penalties have started racking up at 60%.

So we shall force the issue by giving them tons of tiny machines, as if going to the other extreme ever fixed a goddamned thing.

You don’t want tall. You don’t want wide. You want square.

I saved us almost 10% on hardware by swapping in larger VMs and fewer of them. We don’t have a homogenous workload, but a good fraction is, so larger machines can share a bit of OS cache and statistical clusters of slow events can be load balanced better, improving p95. But at some point the performance improvements we’ve made will take us in the other direction, because then we’ll have too high a fraction of traffic on a single VM. That’s not a problem by itself, but could be half of a production incident.
This seems really cool (esp. WRT unit conversions), but I'm already pretty entrenched in using Excel, R, or Python for calculations, since I usually already have one or more of those open. Is it worth learning another tool to pick up something like this?
Some stuff I wish I knew about earlier
The game creators and the market.

In the same way that the market will refuse to believe I printed an authentic pokemon card, the game players decide which printers/minters are valid game token producers. If the community decides to respect a certain game production team, that becomes reality. A game company being in charge only lasts as long as the players believing in them. It's the polar express basically.

> There has been one death on a commercial airline due to an incident related to operation of the aircraft since 2008

That's close, but not precisely correct. In addition to SWA 1380, there was one death on PenAir 3296 in 2019 and 50 fatalities on Colgan Air 3407 in Feb 2009. All of those were US-operated Part 121 flights. (There were also many non-US commercial airline fatalities in that period, but I'll give you that in context you were referring only to flights operated by US airlines above.)
This is an incredibly ignorant, racist, presumably US-centric comment.

For average needs a credit union is a bank with another name. They occasionally have better rates, because there isn't a profit motive for the credit union since it's member owned.

The quality of credit unions varies wildly, especially on the tech side.

These services are not just an indulgence for many people. I've had jobs that require me to access things on Discord or Facebook.
