Three months ago I picked up new hobby: Self Hosting. It has been an amazing ride. I learned a lot and I also get peace of mind knowing I am in control of my data.

I understand that there is no self-hosted alternative for certain SaaS services but I think that will change as more and more people choose to be in control of their data.

This is a good place to start https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted

Yeah that can all still be done with a simple monolithic CRUD app on just a few servers
Because some people like those headers. If you don't, you should stop sending them from your client to Fastmail's servers instead of expecting them to drop them for everyone.
As a hard rule I'll never be impaired at work or anything like that, though on my personal projects I've found slowing drinking a glass of a good rum is a very useful aid to programming. As others have said there's a wonderful objectivity to programming, you can't really blag it when you're working with others as I am on the personal project. I think it's the lack of inhibition that helps, it's telling the voice in your head to shut up with over-engineering things and just get to the instant gratification of a panel of green tests and features that work.

Debugging while inebriated is another thing altogether, that's no fun at all.

Forced updates that remove or disable features people use.
XP was getting plenty of complaints when it was released. Then they had to stop new development and concentrate on making it secure in SP2.
Currencies are energy stores.
This is not a wholly black and white world, though.

Consider jetbrains: you have a subscription, true, but once you cancel you can still download and use whatever was the latest version released during your paid period. Uou get a perpetual license for it. Seems fair if you accept the fact your IDE no longer “moves fast” along with the ecosystem that seems to have a cult of perpetual churn. Some can afford it, some cannot, but the choice is there.

Consider also the braindead app store model where they expect that you pay $8.99 once for a small app, but all the updates are free after that. How do you fund the continued development and bugfixes? I guess that’s why there are subscriptions to text editors even if they don’t require another account or a cloud.

Or you can create what essentially is the same app under another name, in which case it’s difficult or impossible to have upgrade pricing. And discoverability sucks too.

Gotta survive somehow, or else we cannot have nice things.
Great, hopefully Microsoft will alienate even more users and they'll switch to Linux instead.
Thanks! I spent 3-4 months on it (getting up at 5am most days to spend 1-2 hours on it before my day job) so it's nice to know it was of some use! :-)
Just to point out obvious, you are applying a human logic to an theoretical alien species of theoretically any type of behaviour/value/technological/political angle.

Who knows what they are like and what they value.
The only part here that I'm a bit sceptic are the embedded electronic. Maybe I'm too into bare metal and RTOS instead of Yocto or other Linux-based development, but I don't see the advantages of using WASM here.
By the other hand, I agree completely with the rest of the other deployment targets.
Countryside roads are cleared. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to drive with the amount of snow that can fall.

There are people ready in all corners of the country, city and countryside, to work on clearing the roads when it's necessary.

You can find maps and road prioritization per Län here: https://www.trafikverket.se/resa-och-trafik/underhall-av-vag...

The lowest priority roads on the map (gray) state: After 3 cm of snowfall, the road is expected to be cleared inside the following 6 hours.

What I do us use the time management feature with parental controls, so that I can't disable it. When I make the passcode I write it down and seal it in an envelope. I scramble my memory by saying random numbers so I can forget the passcode (though I probably would not be able to remember it anyway).
Roads are definitely cleared from snow outside of cities. This is an example from the middle of nowhere, where signs of clearing can be seen: https://goo.gl/maps/1b7Aj8pb3ejsQPHs7

However, in the northern parts/and or rural areas, you have a layer of packed snow/ice during the winter season. Snow is still cleared regularly that fall on that layer, but the underlying asphalt/gravel isn’t revealed during winter.
Not wearing a mask is the exact same thing as hijacking a plane. Got it.
Reminds me of XD versus Sketch.

Adobe created and added XD (Sketch competitor) and put it into its CC.

Sketch's still doing great but I honestly don't know how long it will be the case as XD becomes more mature.
Dear Abhinav2000, since you are proposing to get software (which in some cases requires years of work to develop and huge investments up-front) free of charge, do you mind me asking you if you provide software which you developed (over several years) free of charge?
I found it quite accurate, not disingenuous at all. OpenOffice has been a maintenance-only project since 2014, they do release minor versions once in a while (like 4.1.11 in October 2021) with security fixes, some small bug fixes, plus whatever free-update they get from upstream libraries (e.g. updates to Unicode), but they don't have any plans to keep developing the software further, no new features. OpenOffice is a extraordinarily well maintained "legacy" software, and on that note, it is really cool that Apache stepped up to maintain it.

Yes but the US is a poor backwards country compared to some. No offence, that's just how it seems to many of us.

And then of course there are those who'd say the US is doing it right because we're so cashless that people are protesting against this new way of life.

I personally don't care. I think if we ever get to a point when an authoritarian rule is threatening our liberties then cash, traceable train tickets and pet store purchases are the least of our troubles.
One funny piece of that is the O365 gives both online and downloaded/local editions of word, excel, powerpoint, etc.

Those two editions often cannot properly render documents made in the other one.
Thanks for the recommendation, seems that many people share your experience. Any learning resources that comes to mind if you would learn RoR from scratch today?
When you think about it, liquidity is the source of speculation.

This is because liquidity is the ability to quickly trade your thing for other things. Lending money via a certificate of deposit reduces liquidity because you are locking up your funds. Lending via demand deposits increases liquidity because the original deposit and the loan are both available to be spent immediately. Spending money on physical things is very time consuming. First you must pick what you want to buy among billions of product choices that are available to you. Even if you buy something, it takes time to drive to the store or for it to be delivered. The real world is quite illiquid which means that fiat currency is less volatile and has greater stability than Bitcoin.

Now there are two exceptions. Trading money vs financial assets and money vs other money. In the financial sector you are trading liquidity for liquidity. Buying an iPhone and selling it takes time. Buying Bitcoin and selling it does not. It can happen as quickly as technology allows it. This inevitably leads to speculation because it is possible to instantly react to any other transaction. Someone buys Bitcoin? Buy more! Someone sells Bitcoin? Sell!

To be more specific, the problem isn't liquidity itself but excessive amounts of liquidity that go way beyond what the real economy needs. This is a huge problem with fiat currency but it's also a problem with Bitcoin because the "Bitcoin economy" is absolutely tiny.
That we have a human nature is obvious. That anyone can just throw out “human nature” as if they know what it is is the thing that I’m contesting!
That’s bollocks. He is providing huge amounts of value - consumer surplus and producer surplus. That’s like saying the creator and maintainer of a machine are useless because the machine does all the work, shall we stop using trains and employ millions of people to transport things on foot because it would employ more people doing strenuous work? As he said so himself, people were taking hours a day doing this before he came along with his skillset.
The web is our greatest achievement? Not language/writing, printing press, medicine, food production, sanitation, or harnessing electricity? I mean, the web is probably in the top 10, but I’d have to think pretty hard before concluding it was even top 5.

Ah now I remember why I don't file electronically.

For estimated taxes to NY it only allows "direct debit from bank account" which is classified on Wikipedia as:

"A direct debit or direct withdrawal is a financial transaction in which one person (or company) withdraws funds from another person's bank account."

I don't like the idea of the government having direct access to my bank with an ability to pull funds whenever they choose to.

>Don’t you want to operate in life at your cognitive best?

Good lord no, I want my cognitive best to be when I'm getting shit done. When I'm doing non-cognitive tasks I want my cognitive best to get back in its box and shut up for a bit so I can enjoy life without constantly over-analysing everything. I'm certainly in that category, though I suspect something like a meditation practice would probably be more useful as a long-term strategy than having a drink after work.

I'm Spanish and I'm finding this very hilarious because that explains a "urban legend" that was about that computer. People said that the Amstrad had a secret chip that only the NSA could use.
Yes secret chips for a foreign government in a offline computer.
Caffeine withdrawal is very individual and affected heavily by how much tolerance you've built up and dose, but worst case it's a week long hell of headaches, cold sweats and diahorrea.

For my part I tend to get maybe 200mg or so a day.
No THC would be the best one, if that's possible.

Smoking it was not tested and not advised.

Note: not an expert, i just read the article completely. I hope for high quality CBD oil though, but not sure. I need external advice to be more certain.

Powdered sugar is produced by grinding, as is table salt...
So, add trying to achieve a specific texture, or melting property to things with essential oils and you're fine (Though I cannot help but smirk at the idea of using a sugar grinder for your tea)
Yes. I didn't do much with wordpress for years, but always thought of it as a very open-source-ish community. Recently I find myself taking on a pre-existing wordpress site with a lot of plugins. I was quite surprised by the way so many plugins are available for $$$. It's sort of impressive "professionalisation" of the ecosystem. I can see it's allowing/encouraging glossy presentation, explanatory videos, documentation, and support guarantes, but there's a voice in my head thinking "Nah! These PHP snippets are all supposed to be free aren't they?"
> If my headphones have a bug where they catch fire the manufacturer needs to eat the cost and recall and fix/replace/refund them

That assumes what the initial price wasn't at least x20, though.

> splitting the old upfront price as if customers were on a 2 year upgrade cycle rather than 5.

It is also about perceived cost and maintenance costs: you can charge $10/y but ~$3 from this sum would go to fees and taxes, and you still need a profit margin and sustainability margin for the future growth (and recession) and to be able to give out refunds.
Tolerance builds quickly. At one point I could down a Red bull (about the same amount of caffeine as a strong cup of coffee) half an hour before bed and go straight to sleep.
Trust me no, one is something that can be used in production by a small team of developers, the other is kubernetes and needs to be taken out back and shot.
Mainly for the huge gulf of support that exists between a mock-VM and Amazon support. There's a tonne of people who just want something in the middle and to build their infrastructure and not be _forced_ to rely on the cloud nonsense.

>This sort of began when we all got the impression that software should be free, or that we pay a low price once and get indefinite free upgrades.

When and how did that happen? SAAS has been the wet dream of the big software houses for a long time, it was just not really acceptable for people for quite a while.

It's also sounds like this is about poor software developers making a living, but the reality is that software developers are amongst the highest paid professions and software companies are ruling the world and typically have the highest profits. In fact I would argue this really started to take over when investors realised that they could get insane ROI from very little investments for software companies and started to expect these kind of returns.

The other thing that is driving this push is that the FANGS want to commoditize everything except for "owning" large amount of data, because that's their value add and everything else is just a cost centre for them.
Can only think of the latin reductio ad absurdum with regards to your comment, and also laugh about it.

Wow, impairment is not my intention at all. But, to not impair myself takes careful moderation and preparation.

For cognitive benefits or "virtuous pot smoking", I need to have exercise, sleep, right intentions, a clean room and music. If I do it right, I have transformational ideas. If I don't write them down, they are gone.

The first hour is often a wash. I expect little. I often combine with coffee. Then, after an hour, I can work for 6 hours with true inspiration. It makes me care so much. Music is key. It's basically a spiritual work experience. Less is more-- if I smoke too much or too often (3+ times per week) I'm just stoned.

I've been working on moderate, prepared, virtuous pot smoking for years. It is still a challenge, but I know i'm not the only high functioning cannabis user.
Nothing. That's the plan most governments (except the very few Covid-zero governments) are going with. Once the impact to healthcare is low enough, the plan is to remove all restrictions, which is what treating a disease as endemic instead of pandemic means.

THC counteracts the positive effects of CBD, as mentioned in the article.

Competing Astrologers might well discuss their "datasets", ask each other how they might interpret or express something. "Machine Learning" seems to be guarded corporate secrets, more often than not. If only to keep other in the company from realizing how little there is beyond soothsaying there.

WE have more astrological data now, and its easier to manipulate; but no one (that I've seen) has yet tried to patch the two together. Surely machine learning techniques can extract as much valid insight from historical star field photos as they can from our click stream data?
I think you're overestimating how much most people desire and will desire such things in their life.

This is not blaming the victim as there are no victims. OP’s is wrong that SaaS is rent sending. Software should not be free (in cost), yet always receive new features and updates. Indeed, the alternative is the ad-tech surveillance state.
- I didn't tell my team because I didn't have the energy to. They called me and asked what's wrong. Then I took 3 months off. Then got back with 25% basically staring at a screen doing nothing then walk home. I did this for another month.

- Summer came. - I started therapy and joined a group that helped me understand my behaviour of perfectionism etc. Most helpful 12 week programme.

- I played video games to offload my brain, as I couldn't focus or read text

- I started painting also - was awful at school hated drawing etc, but turned out together with video games it was the only thing that could put off that load on my brain.

- I basically took a stance to never go back again to IT. It didn't work out though but I'm in a more aware situation and don't put too much load on myself. Another thing is that I realised it's just not for me to code, to keep worrying about systems, wondering what might break etc. I'm really more of a practical guy.

- So right now I'm trying to shift my focus where I can recognize my strengths first. Being at a desk is not really that, and that's hard to realize though.

Burnout is really...your overheated engine in the car. You can't use it. At least that's how it was for me.

The developer can make a choice there. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow:

I think there are flags for doing that for non-modal ‘other windows’, too.

The video is cute but it is also very misleading. There aren't a meter of snow on the road while the walk ways are clear. Snowplows also do not place snow on walkways. There is a lot of artistic freedom being deployed in order to convey the message that walkways are now also being prioritized, and in particular the walkways around schools.

What usually happens when it start to freeze is the deployment of sand and salt. Sidewalks is often addressed using three wheel vehicle or buggies that city cleaning and maintenance usually deploy, small sized roads commonly deploy normal tractors, while large roads and highways has specialized vehicle. All get deployed at the same time. If there is a sudden massive snowstorm, snowmobiles can replace the smallest ones but then there really need to be a lot of snow.

The only change, if there is one, is that I usually don't see tractors being deployed in cities as much now days. That might mean smaller side streets inside cities has gotten deprioritized, through with salt/sand I can't say how much of an impact that really have. They are mostly just glorified parking spaces anyway, and if there is a snow storm then it doesn't have a large impact compared to major roads or major walkways around schools and hospitals. If there is a huge snowstorm which prevents the snow clearing from effectively working, then the recommendation is to close down schools and work places until things calm down.

Recurring expenses very often isn't necessary though.

For software the initial costs are big, but after that it can be pretty low maintenance or at least costing much less to develop new features when the foundation is set.

When you start to think about recurring expenses that's when you have to find a way to justify those expenses. And that is usually by adding bloat and unnecessary features that those that already bought it might not even want.

So now you have to pay for features that you don't want to keep using the features that you've already bought? Tough sell...
Thanks! yes, you're bang on - it was getting close but time wasn't on my side, I had 30 mins to lineup virtual cams with physical ones, and by eye only. It was way too ambitious for the available time but I love a challenge. I also kind of messed up the post effects on the unity cams, they didn't match the scene atmosphere closely enough.
