No, you don't. You can have DNS-based aliases to pubkeys, and then people will follow pubkeys and interact with pubkeys, not with the DNS aliases. So if these users are censored later from the DNS then they still keep their identity, their contacts, their followers etc.

> You need to evangelize a product on which the life of someone’s project or company depends.

I've actually seen the results of a database product being picked, the company behind which ceased to exist. It wasn't pretty, since at one point the product ceased to be supported and therefore neither any updates/fixes were made, it wasn't available in the repositories for new OS distros and eventually even the documentation for it went offline. Having to support a system that integrated with it was an unpleasant experience, all the way to it being eventually replaced with something else instead.

Therefore, it probably makes a lot of sense to base something as critical as your data storage layer on proven technologies that have demonstrated that they'll probably be supported in one form or another for the following years or even decades, unless you have a good reason for choosing something else.

Those reasons might deal with particular workloads or requirements, e.g. clustering solutions for PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB/..., geospatial extensions, solutions to integrate with it through REST interfaces or even GraphQL or something like that, with a stable and proven piece of software still at the core of it all.

In case anyone is wondering, the product in question was Clusterpoint, about which you can read a bit more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusterpoint a NoSQL database that actually predates MongoDB by a few years, as far as i know. Of course, now it seems like even their homepage is offline.
You should work on actual problems, then not only will the technical challenges be interesting, but the result delivery and client satisfaction challenge will be too !!

Don't you dream of doing work that people actually use ?
Important reminder for many Americans abroad who are already registered to vote: you might need to make a request for ballots to be mailed (or emailed) to you every year - it’s separate from voter registration in many states.
I agree entirely with you. That whole self-made-man concept is something that we really should try to get rid of. I am where I am because my parents built me up as a person, they taught me most of the important stuff I ever needed and when I needed a hand they bailed me out (I do need to clarify that we are not rich by any means). I wil be eternally grateful for their help and plan to do the same for my children in hopes that their children will have a bigger safety net than I did. Yes, making it all by yourself makes for a great story, but I plan to help my children as much as I can and there's nothing wrong with it
I haven’t. It is a good idea to think about it.
Maybe we should take step further. Make energy cost non-linear. Make it cost exponentially more with increased use. So if you do not use lot you pay base rate per unit. If you use lot you pay price multiple to the base rate per unit.

If you think the head of a bolt with an indentation in it is going to stay clean, especially one that has to stay tight, then you have not held a wrench often enough, my friend.

Once that red spot gets dirty, you're not going to be able to tell if it's brick red because it's loose, or brick red because it has dirt on it. It's probably going to take you longer to clean the bolt than to get the torque wrench on it.

> The data shows that.

Many people are saying this.

> An increased reliance on renewables means a large increase in reliance on LNG.

What matters is whether increased reliance on renewables slows down the decarbonisation effort. If you have data which shows that, I'd be interested to see it.

In return, let me offer a study from last year which found: "in countries with a high GDP per capita, nuclear electricity production does associate with a small drop in CO2 emissions. But in comparative terms, this drop is smaller than that associated with investments in renewable energy. And in countries with a low GDP per capita, nuclear electricity production clearly associates with CO2 emissions that tend to be higher."

Heroku would be the easiest to use, and it has fixed costs attached (unless you use autoscaling, which scales worker based on latency.)

AWS AppRunner (built on Fargate technology) would be another option, but using AWS is definitely more involved than Heroku. With the exception of network traffic which is pay-as-yo-go, you can calculate max pricing for CPU/memory depending on the app configuration.

I use both of them at $dayjob. Unless there are good reasons to choose AWS, I would always recommend to start with Heroku.

I feel compelled to offer some advice here. Please hear me out..

I'm pretty socially awkward. I don't have "friends". I don't go to movies. I don't plan lunch dates. I don't host parties. I rarely ask people to do things. I don't have a "social life". I've been lonely. I still get lonely sometimes. But.. I love it. I feel good. And I like the people that are in my life.

> Has anyone here ever made good progress in connecting with other people?

Yes. As a side effect of doing what I love to do.

Focus on what you love to do. Dig into it. And you will find other people who love to do those things too.

Acknowledge your loneliness. Embrace it. Stop worrying about it. It's not a "problem" that needs fixing. Avoid self-help resources, if you can. And do not pretend that someone else can "fix" this for you. You are the only one who can be you. Redirect your mindset. If you continually tell yourself that you're lonely, don't have friends, and have no connection, you will be miserable and stuck in a rut forever. If your actions are motivated by trying to "better your social life", you will feel empty inside. Stop that. Forget about all of that. Just do what you love to do, and cultivate that. It's much easier to connect with someone when you are working, building, or playing something. You will find people along the way. One or two might stick, and many won't. There are so many different people in this world! And that's OK.

Honestly ask yourself what you love to do. If you were financially independent, what would you spend your time on? Who would you surround yourself with? What pursuit, mission, or deeper meaning would bring you together?
> Considering you (or your insurance company) might have a legal case against them, it would seem to be in the adjacent property owner’s best interest to only communicate via lawyers to limit their potential losses.

This line of thought seems common, but I think it's incorrect as well as immoral. Personally, I'd be far more likely to be lenient on someone who sincerely apologized. When someone doesn't admit fault, I'd be more likely to use the legal system to declare them at fault and seek the maximum damages. I don't think I'm alone. There have been studies on this, mostly in the context of medical mistakes. https://www.calbarjournal.com/July2010/TopHeadlines/TH1.aspx

For example, Mel Gibson. Two damaging recordings got leaked of him a decade or more ago and those cringe moments of his life will be preserved forever.

Mel Gibson is right-wing antisemite involved in a dubious cult. It's hardly surprising a concrete record of this appeared at one point[1].

You're not selling the idea that the "right to be forgotten" is for people who made just one slip-up. But there are certainly ways the right to be forgotten is reasonable - not for stars but for average people. My only point was it probably shouldn't be unlimited. That seems to strike a nerve but apparently among defenders of those who want long records of bad behavior concealed.

Dictators are overthrown at a rate of fewer than one in three years (maybe even lower), and Bitcoin has entered the public consciousness no earlier than in 2017. Give it some time.
Well, Twitter has been going into a series of serious banning recently. They even banned the president of the United States. All these banned people had to find homes in suboptimal platforms from which they can be banned again and so on. If that trend increases and Nostr can position itself as a viable alternative it might catch some chunks of mainstream.

But yeah, it's kinda hard. We must keep building though.

How does Nuclear Power stop mining? I see how it would reduce the need for coal, but it won’t change our appetite for metals, rocks, or gemstones.
Hey, author here!

- Request rate is pretty low on average and peaks at around 15 requests/second. That's nothing really and it would probably take 100x or more request rate before I saw any kind of CPU bottlenecking or similar; my upload would probably bottleneck first. The biggest resource usage on the server comes from some expensive database queries made by some of my applications.
- I'd definitely be down to use that kind of CPU but it wasn't available at the price point I wanted. Most of my stuff isn't CPU-bound anyway.
- I used to self-host my own mailserver and webmail, but to be honest it was a disaster. Even after spending tons of time configuring reverse DNS, DMARC, SKIN, SPF, and the other list of arcane and specialized stuff you need, I still had tons of issues with mail I sent going to spam. I gave up and pay Google to host my mail for my own domains now.
- I really haven't done much tuning. MySQL/MariaDB is the DB that gets the most load and its settings are most default. I have put a lot of effort into profiling my apps' query patterns and making sure proper indexes and schemas are in place, though.
I disagree on this. The right way to think about it is that nearly every line of code you write is almost certainly tech debt, even more so earlier on in a project where you’re just exploring the problem domain at the same time as you’re building the solution. Indeed, when I’ve looked at histories, once a developer stops being active, their name disappears from the git history relatively quickly (that’s not a perfect estimate, but it’s the best heuristic I could think of. equivalent to LOC - bad in the wrong hands, good as a general directional rule of thumb)

Also people think of tech debt as a loan which is a fine analogy but it’s important to understand it doesn’t map perfectly. Some have a high interest which means your current path is just adding this code debt to more pieces in your codebase (eg a bad convention you know you need to address). Other debt is more sporadic but doesn’t really grow (eg you have to remember to do weird thing X every time you do a Y). It may manifest as a parasitic effect on your velocity (more manual processes and/or more bugs). Additionally, unlike an actual loan balance sheet, there’s no way to quantify any of this. So agreeing on tech debt can even be hard (what one person sees as tech debt another might see as at least having consistency with the rest of the code around it). If you can’t measure then you’re all talking about an amorphous concept no one really agrees on 100% and basically paying down things that everyone agrees on as debt OR getting lucky and finding secondary quantifiable measurements that correlate with what you’re arguing for as debt.
You're replying to new information based on multiple references, instructions on how to locate more, and well-reasoned arguments about these things, with a single, flippant sentence that pretends none of it exists.
From a material perspective access to cash will be the most important thing if you don't have friends or family who can help out. If your wallet with credit cards and id burned down, it will be hard to book a hotel for the night or buy essential things like food or clothing. I think that's something your can prepare already now. For example by storing a credit card in a second location with people you know or at your work place.
Also in todays age where nobody remembers phone numbers anymore it might be good to try to remember the numbers of your most important contacts so you can at least contact your friends or family in case your phone is damaged.

Besides that, a digital copy of all your paperwork will help a lot down the road. Also you need to pre-declare all expensive items already before with the insurance. You can't just claim that your $50k watch collection got "lost" after the fact. It's also good to understand how the insurance will pay. Do they pay based on a % of the damages house? What happens if all of your belongings are full of smoke and not usable anymore because of it but the house is not really burned down?
Are the other reasons that you are referring to likely related to nuclear not being "green" enough?

The interest on technical debt may be high, but you don't have to pay it if the product becomes obsolete, replaced, unsuccessful or improved. Basically you only need to pay the debt if the product is successful/used and not fixed, which in terms of overall risk is very different from a loan that you need to pay back no matter what.

(It's sometimes perhaps more like VC finding - a very high cost for the provided up front money, but only in a small set of circumstances where the overall success makes the cost relatively small)

Privacy for the poor, not from. Paparazzi have never been outside my door. They were taking pictures of rich people for gossip mags (ie poor consumers).

Now we spy on poor people, use AI to analyze the photos at scale, while the rich got anti-paparazzi laws put in places like EU and CA.

In this context, the Rittenhouse video would not exist and it would be better if it didn't. The prosecution, arguably, should get disbarred for the shenanigans they pulled (no discovery and dumping it in the last moment, giving a modified version, lying about the provenance).

As to George Floyd, cameras have done much more to erode our civil liberties than they have put bad cops away.
I think a big part of the problem is that Germany has strong business ties with Russia (if you think I'm exaggerating, you might not realize that former chancellor Gerhard Schröder became the chairman of the board of Nord Stream AG and of Rosneft right after being chancellor — ties do not get any stronger than that).

It is in Russia's best interest to have EU countries dependent on their fossil fuels (natural gas and coal). This goal is being achieved admirably, with Poland burning coal like crazy (buying lots of Russian coal) and Germany burning Russian gas like crazy (through Nord Stream pipelines).

Shutting down the nuclear plants plays straight into that strategy.
I think that going to anti-Putin rallies and getting detained by the police thugs is even less wise. But a dutiful citizen has no choice.
Sorry, it is an Eastern European thing I suppose and is intended as a show of respect. I missed a number of years of basic English theory due to attending language immersion schools where the foundational elements of English grammar that should have been taught to me in my formative years, were quickly brushed over if taught at all.

I am also terrible at punctuation and have a terrible time remembering which side to put the "$" when referring to money. As far as capitalizing pronouns, it is a bad habit that I have and something I unconsciously do. It has never been pointed out before and I'm not sure if I should thank "you" or not as your comment comes off a bit like an ad hominem attack. I am actively making an effort to be more positive so I will assume your intentions were good and instead say.

Not a big fan of nuclear because of security and waste disposal issues, but quoting 3 accidents over a span of 60 years as a reason for a blanket ban on a whole class of energy production technologies is hyper safetyism.

Although not exactly user-friendly, I created my first proper bash script the other day for setting up a postfix server on a vps. You have to create the vanialla vps first but then the script does all of the apt install stuff and then uses awk/sed/whatever to modify config files.

The nice thing is that it is mostly what you would do manually anyway and the commands are unlikely to change much/often since they will install latest versions of postfix etc. when you run the script.

I think this might be more doable since the scripts are easy to create and maintain so perhaps just a site with bash scripts for e.g. "Postfix + Sendmail" or "PHP7 + nginx"
Or plants. Need to remember how many cities used to look... Not pretty with all the particulates...
It is completely ludicrous to compare nuclear testing with doing maths on a computer.
We have never had a significant disaster of any gen >=3 reactor. TMI, Fukushima, Chernobyl were all gen 2, and gen 1 is all prototypes.

Anything built after 1972 has not had anywhere near this level of incidents.

Also Chernobyl had severe safety flaws due to its origin as an early model breeder reactor (and my head canon is that the test that caused the disaster was in some way related to surreptitious fuel changing to run breeding experiments. The RBMK reactors were designed for rapid fuel shuffling.... In other words, safety was compromised to keep the door open to the possibility of sneaky weapons grade material production).

Also also, Chernobyl had some other bone-headed flaws, such as a positive void coefficient and positive scram coefficient (read: trying to rapid shutdown during an emergency made the reaction increase). Humanity has learned a ton since then.

What is your app's stack? AWS Fargate or Beanstalk is probably the only thing which does what you want (for a limited set of environments), but the problem which remains is updating the libraries your project uses. I don't think there is anything to cover that, unless you make somefully automated CI/CD system which will run nightly builds to update them and push new build into whatever cloud solution you chose.
To me it sounds pretty much like client-server architecture.

The amount of cancers and heart related issues is still unfolding to this day, particularly in the children from the surrounding areas.

Everything I’ve read on the subject (admittedly not much) tells me that wind power is not only a disaster ecologically (kills too many birds, though not as many as domestic cats) but also unable to produce enough power to govern everything even with interconnects.

Distribution of power is also difficult, but there was notably a “still” winter in Sweden which is driving up prices significantly due to hydro not being enough. (I live here, that’s how I know)

On the business model side of things, I think the most important thing to think about is the threat of the cloud providers. In the same way that MSFT were able to take most of the profits from the 90s/00s PC business, and Apple were able to take most of the profits from the appstore, and Amazon takes most of the profits from the Amazon market place, in the same way the cloud providers are realistically going to take the vast majority of the profits from running your DB in the cloud. Elasticsearch has exactly this problem. If they're lucky, Amazon will buy them. If they're unlucky Amazon will just steal their tech and take the profits (some would argue this already happened). They're by and large living in someone elses ecosystem.
