Wasn't there an article recently, that basically revealed that "from their browser/device" basically means just using the API to access the blockchain? So you're still using "a bank", just that the bank is the API provider. A bit more modern, but not a game changer.
This isn't POSIX either:

The other problem is the condescending replies from the higher tier nix folks while everyone else struggles. I almost think they garner a sadistic pleasure in watching everyone fail.

After months of "It's obviously this" and "you're not even trying" and "have you even looked?" and "there are plenty of examples out there already" and "you should start out by reading the introduction docs" and "you obviously don't know how functional languages work", I just stopped bothering.

I'm giving away 100 Marketing Tactics for free to celebrate MVP launch
tl;dr - We finally launched our AI-driven business growth platform and we're giving 100+ growth tactics for free for everyone: https://app.digitalfirst.ai. Enjoy!
Hi folks!
A while ago, I shared our first 50 marketing tactics (https://www.indiehackers.com/post/were-giving-away-50-growth...) and it was received very enthusiastic. Back then, we showed all the content on Airtable, because the platform was not ready yet, but now drumroll DigitalFirst.AI has become a reality!!! From this week on, you can log into the tool on https://app.digitalfirst.ai and browse the marketing tactic library for free. Each tactic has a step-by-step implementation process described and the materials necessary to create it. Here is a video in which I talk about the tactic card: https://www.loom.com/share/6df312243e114fceb83dae721cc928fd.
You are probably wondering why we are giving away such a piece of knowledge for free. That's because our goal is definitely not to sell the tactics themselves, but mainly to develop a tool that will allow, with the help of AI, to indicate the best of strategy to start and grow every type of business. This element - the recommendation system - will be available only in a month, when we finish the presale campaign.
Thank you so much in advance for every, even the most brutal, feedback. Don't hesitate to write to me on any matter. Enjoy and stay future-proof!
Everyone is eventually going to be in my position over time. But you’re currently describing my life as not worth the cost of living.
Thousands of Americans are losing their lives every day to Covid. New cases are MUCH higher than they were at any point in 2020 or 2021 (though it looks like we may finally have crossed the peak of this wave).

I'm sorry, but it isn't over yet. I wish it was. However wishing it or asserting it doesn't make it true. This was a sensible argument to make in July 2021 when vaccines were more effective and cases were literally 1/10th as prevalent.

I encourage the "over it" crowd to talk to the parents of young children, a cancer patient, or literally anyone who works at a hospital.
I went from being a biomedical engineer -> M&A lawyer -> software engineer with a side legal practice.

I learned that law school was intellectually rewarding and the practice of law can be fun, but I could not stop thinking about software that I wanted to build to improve the practice of law. I took that as a sign that I needed to spend some of my working life being a software engineer.

I think what I have now is a great balance. A stable job as an engineer, with a law practice where I only take on clients that are nice to work with.
It's one thing to look at the source, it's another thing to know that you have to look inside `pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders.nix` to find the documentation. One of the main advantages of reference documentation is a central place to look up what things do.
I remember someone told me they always buy a T-shirt when they're away on a trip somewhere. Something local themed. That way whenever, years later, they pull it out of their wardrobe, it stirs some good memories. Started doing this myself.
See Code Napoleon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code
He ruled like a monarch, but he reformed and liberalized the society itself and spread those ideas throughout Europe during his conquests. His rule was ended, but the reforms could not be undone by any monarch.

I thought the general theory of "virus evolution" was towards less severe variants.

Of course, more severe variants can always develop. Holds same for flu, HIV, ... not just COVID.

When I start wondering why my laptop fan keeps spinning or why the battery keeps being drained even though I'm not doing anything resource-intensive on the foreground, the culprit usually turns out to be a web browser, or a web page that keeps spinning the browser's wheels for some reason.

I guess that might be a part of the problem: the root cause is often somewhere else than in the (traditional, non-javascript) application that you're running on your desktop. Although I imagine browsers would do something to avoid unnecessary resource use when a page is not active, it's harder to entirely prevent it without potential side effects when the "data" of your program can essentially be an application of its own running within your platform. To make applications behave well on idle, you'd have to involve web developers, and their priorities are ultimately dictated by their bosses and clients, too.

Other than that, I wholeheartedly agree that it would be better to not have code that consumes unnecessary resources in the first place than it would be to try preventing it downstream.

The only other applications that I regularly find using multiple percent of CPU time when not in active use are Thunderbird and Steam. I have no idea what's going on with Thunderbird or why it's doing that. Some other applications may have some unnecessary background activity as well, and it might be nice not to have that, but it's usually not particularly heavy. The powertop era you mention may have helped with that.
Emphasizing this from the article:

> Martand received almost no medical service. A nurse practitioner looked over the toddler, listened to his heart and stomach, and looked in his nose, mouth and ears, according to provider notes prepared by the hospital and shared with KHN by Bhatt.

> The nurse didn't change the dressing on the wound or order any testing.

> Emergency visits are usually classified for billing on a scale from 1 to 5. Level 1 is minor and routine; Level 5 requires complex care for life-threatening conditions. [...] Despite the lack of severity of Martand's wound and the absence of medical care, his visit was classified as Level 3, a moderate severity problem.

> In an email, Zoller Mueller said the charges were "appropriate" based on the "acuity of condition, discharge instructions, vital sign monitoring, traumatic wound care [and] numerous assessments."

> She added: "A patient does not have to receive additional treatment — procedure, labs, x-rays, etc. — to validate an ED [emergency department] level charge."
> It uses heuristics to assign values to different board states, and in the case of Deep Blue these values were created through previous game analysis.

Unless I’m misinformed, this part isn’t true. The heuristic was hardcoded with the help of human experts.
That's fantastic! I'll have to take a look. Thanks for showing me. I was aware of Heroku, but this seems like the modern equivalent which I had in mind. (I do think you could likely go even simpler, though - there's a whole spectrum of complexity which could accommodate different services at each point.)

Edit: Apropos of "there's a point in time where you'll need to evaluate other options": I think a good selling point would be a well-designed flow for 'ejecting' to a self-hosted or AWS/GCP environment. Yeah, yeah, it's not good for lock-in, but by the exact same token it would be a strong selling point. Done well, you could assuage the "we may as well get it out of the way now" concerns by saying that you'll make it easier to set up shop on AWS.
The ER visit ultimately cost $38.92. The system worked out exactly as it should have.

I'm getting a bit tired of these anti-US healthcare posts day after day. Sure, there are some issues, but this is starting to feel like reformist propaganda. I, for one, am very happy with the current system and don't understand why anti-government activists want to hand the government the keys to run the healthcare system.

> stuff like fiat money, gold, fine art and so on.

This comment is a great example of how little bitcoin enthusiasts tend to understand about investing. One of this things is very much not like the others.

"Fiat currency" is virtually never used as an investment asset. Even in the FOREX market you purchases pairs of currency rather than just a big pile of dollars. In your 401k when you want to go all "cash" you very often end up choosing investment vehicles that track cash.

The entire function of a currency is as a medium of exchange, it only has value in the process of exchanging. It makes no sense, at the individual investor level, to 'hold' dollars.

If you don't understand how a fiat currency differs from gold and fine art then you absolutely should not be "investing" in bitcoin.
> One thing I really liked about Firefox was that it used to do two different types of searches. The search bar acts as it does today, but the nav bar used to redirect to the first result.

You can actually do this yourself if you set your search engine to DuckDuckGo and prepend your search with a backslash (\, e.g. "\bats" or "\tom hanks imdb" in your case -- works great). I discovered this by accident; it's very useful.
The only sane play in the US is

1. Buy an inexpensive high deductible insurance plan to cover only emergency expenses.

1.1. Make sure that for your plan out-of-network expenses count toward your oopm.

(1.2. Cry because your employer's health plan doesn't work for this.)

1.3. Have enough cash liquid to cover your oopm.

2. Max out your HSA contributions.

3. Pay cash for everything.

Sans 1.2. this has been working reasonably well for me. You would be amazed at the discounts you get once you say you're paying cash. Medical expenses suddenly are downright reasonably priced.

tl;dr Surprise! Everything is cheaper when you have money. Oh America.

>That is not to say there are no significant problems with it: the lack of static typing coupled with low runtime performance and bad error messages and debugging support means tracking down more complicated errors can be a pain and the laziness can further compound this.

Some of this problems can be aleviated with good IDE support or language server.
Actually, nuclear weapons were too costly for Ukraine to afford during the nineties and were unfit to deter Russia (they were long range and could only threaten Russian far east), so threat of nuking Moscow was never viable deterrence even if we ignore the economical aspect.
State messages like "x has entered/left the room" or "x has changed his/her avatar" reveal identities present in a room, which we wanted to keep private. That information is sent by the server, but not displayed by the client. Quite probably there might be a better solution for this, but we looked for a (quick) solution that worked for us, since the combination client-server is supposed to be a closed ecosystem. We were (and are still) in the middle of a pandemic, and just wanted to get it to work in an acceptable manner.

You probably will be able to rip the app appart and get the keys, but why would you, we are just a little primary school. It's up to real experts to find an elegant solution for all of this, if there is demand for it on a bigger scale.
Considering government policy in the US is a big reason for the problems, blaming capitalism is kinda funny.
Mask wear becoming a normal thing is one of the few good things to come out of the response to Covid.

I like them, they provide privacy from people and cameras, while also increasing protection from many viruses and bacteria (provided you don't take it off to scratch your nose).

Common cold and the flu has gotten way less common since 2020. Freaking amazing, since the symptoms can literally incapacitate me for a week or two. I hate the cold and flu.

Masks always provided some benefit both ways, but the benefit is maximized if everyone is wearing them. N95s and similar have started to become more common, and those have substantial benefit to the wearer, even in a crowded room of unmasked people. If I am wearing an N95 and you are not wearing a mask, I am more protected than if both you and I are wearing surgical masks.

Which is why I decided to accept XMR. I thought maybe that'd start something. The system is literally right there just waiting for us to use it.

I also remember seeing at least one artist accepting XMR for cryptocurrency-related art. Plenty of people were spending XMR on that person.
I just got a spare mini-PC up on DevOS over the weekend! It's currently looking for maintainers but it's cutting edge (think hlissner's NixOS config but more generic) and gives you a huge amount of flexibility out of the box. Highly recommended if you want a Flake-based NixOS system, local or remote but don't know where to start or you'd like an example of best practices to build off of.
This article sounds like a strawman. He is saying that you don't need the cloud but is hosting a VM on a cloud provider, which is probably what most "cloud" users do.

Non profits aren’t exactly virtuous or efficient with money. In fact, there are so many players involved in operating and running a hospital who want to get paid the fact that the overall hospital itself is a non profit isn’t very meaningful.
I did not mean that kind of accessible. I mean easy to get, easy to install, easy to manage, easy to distribute.

I personally wouldn’t hold crypto as part of an forex portfolio mix for a corporate treasury largely because they are currently not really currency equivalents but there might be treasury groups that do & the mechanics of holding them isn’t much different than any other fx holding.

As far as whether treasury asset allocations are investing or not is largely in the eye of the beholder but companies very frequently prefer to hold “cash equivalents” beyond their immediate operational requirements. If a treasury buys us tbills that is both a traditional investment & a fx position (in that it’s a usd we are viewing preferentially over other currencies in our portfolio).
Reminds me a bit of the PowerPot. I got one on Kickstarter years back. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/david-toledo/the-powerp...

It didn't work very well, to be honest, but it's a really cool concept.
Curious but how would you figure out where the ship is burning if you are receiving a larger number of bug reports, e.g. 1 million bug reports per month?

Loads of duplication will also follow etc. Sounds like you need entire teams to figure out what the real bugs are at that point and maintain the bug list? Though I can't think of a workflow from the top of my head.

"low tech schooling and ignore the fact that it's largely unprepared for a new pandemic"

Unfortunately our education (comparing US and UK) are both not going to be solved by increased tech imo (not in the sense of tablets for all). But as I've said for years we should be seriously looking at airflow in educational establishments, as well as improved buildings.

Having been on both sides of the lecture hall and teaching environment, a well ventilated room helps huge amounts for concentration and informed debate. Air quality can drag down the room and atmosphere as well as being unhealthy.

> So I'm surprised by how it is almost unanimously assumed in this thread to be bad-tasting.

It's all the after taste, for me. If I sip a diet soda, there's about one full second when I can't tell the difference—then I really can, and the unpleasant-to-me flavor lingers, quite strong, for minutes. Tastes like... I dunno, like I chewed up and swallowed a mild licorice with a thin coating of something that's definitely not food. Maybe some kind of plastic or household cleaning product.
This device exists, you replace a vertical section of your sewer pipe with a copper heat exchanger pipe. The HX heats up your incoming cold water when you take a shower. The HX must be vertical because in a vertical sewer pipe, surface tension makes the water spread out and wet the entire inner surface of the pipe for good heat transfer.

I looked into the economics at one point. Would be great for a laundromat or hotel, not so much for the average single family home.

Contabo has €5 VPS with 4 cores, 8 GB RAM and 200GB SSD. The one I have runs multiple Valhaim servers that are constanly hammering the CPU, some .NET webs etc. and it's fine.

Managing your own database server is orders of magnitude more costly than using RDS because it is a waste of time.
I wouldn’t consider reboot time to be a massive selling point for a database server though. Surely you don’t want to be doing that very often?

There's a lot to unpack here. For example, there's certainly other ways to network jails and all three ways you've mentioned to maintain jails are not deprecated.

Security modules do exist, they're different from Linux. Are you sure you're not just expecting FreeBSD-as-Linux?

As for init... What can I say, I've never been anti-systemd, not even remotely, but rc.d is much nicer than sysvinit, and I find it much simpler to understand than systemd. In fact, I think rc.d is an example of how Linux could have alternatively migrated from sysvinit without pissing some people off.
There isn't a GUI (although nix-gui [1] is in progress) but there is a very good and decently mature flake template called Devos [2] for accomplishing most of what you ask. It basically lets you write very simple profiles to group configuration settings together and then you can assign those profiles to machines or users.

Things could still be improved but I found Devos to be good enough that NixOS is usable for personal and even some production use.

Once I get around to it, I'll move/mirror my configs to Github which should serve as good examples.
