First, it's a pretty cool PoC. Kudos on that.

Back in the 90's we used to call direct access from the client "fat client" and we stopped doing that. We moved to n-tier with the server in the middle. It takes more work but we still did that move. Here's why:

* Writing logic in server code is easier
* SQL servers are more powerful and harder to secure
* Caching and scale - direct DB access just couldn't handle even 90's traffic
* Vendor lock-in - pretty much everything here is Postgress specific

I haven't kept up on DB progress as much as I should but honestly, most of what you have here can be done in a few lines of python and maybe a bit more in Java/Spring Boot/NodeJS etc.

I'm trying to think of a use case for this other than "we can do that cool thing". Can't come up with it.

This reads like that scene from Dunder Mifflin company when the temp CEO was leaving.
You picked a bad recipe to suggest this on, because this isn't the sort of pancake that you'd want to add baking powder to. :D

English-style pancakes (like this) are thicker than crepes, but they're still thin fried-batter constructs. You don't particularly want them to rise.

To add on to this on a somewhat tangential note, it's important to understand that there are other conditions that can also cause "depression-like" symptoms. Are you extremely disorganized, forever late, super messy and procrastinate all the time leading to disappointment with yourself and a general feeling of unhappiness due to missed potential? Congrats, (some of) those are classic AD(H)D symptoms. Autism can be mistaken for ADHD. ADHD can be mistaken for BPD. (And of course ADHD can be mistaken for depression).

It's important to understand the possibilities. Fortunately today with the internet it's easy to search for symptoms and go to a doctor, and I'd highly recommend that to OP and anyone else who thinks they might need it.
From Wikipedia:

He didn't ask?

This is ridiculously disingenuous. He made an ultimatum, and his position is very clear.
This is too obvious to honestly debate. If his desire isn't for Spotify to remove/censor Rogan, I imagine he'll clarify. Because he's blatantly calling for it.
German politicians are pragmatists. There are not enough upsides to directly sending weapons and there are enough downsides. The Seelow heights graves are a pretty side story but I personally doubt this is a significant drive, even if it's present in their minds.

WWII was long enough ago that no current voting reflects strongly on this. Current neonazism is of course a live political problem and has enmeshed in covid related opposition as well as the long tail of the refugee crisis. This present situation is capable of making a refugee and a gas supply crisis.

In contradistinction Japan has been in decades long agony about rearmament. I think it was baked into their constitution in a stronger form. Germany was made the backbone of NATO in the ETO so long ago that nobody seriously doubts German armed forces can and will participate in global conflict. If they aren't selling materiel directly it's not because of 1945.
> In case someone has any advice beyond finding a hobby, going to therapy, approaching random strangers

did you try those things? they're common advice for a reason.

> I tried to meet new people at hobbies and dance lessons, but guess what - they're all full of lonely developers and other socially awkward people - short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands, etc.

what happened to those friends? what about contacting them?
I had thought that a mitzvah was a religious duty or deed.
Have you watched Harold and Maude? I'm not sure what you're expecting friendship to look like and how much you're expecting to get out of it, but maybe try to lower your expectations of others. Think about what you can do for other people, and less about what you need from someone else.
Talk to a therapist, please, for your own health and the people around you.
> I tried to meet new people at hobbies and dance lessons, but guess what - they're all full of lonely developers and other socially awkward people - short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands, etc.

So what? Lonely developers can't be good friends? Short guys looking for girlfriends can't be good friends?

Sounds like they would solve your loneliness problem but you are too judgemental to accept them
180 is always your friend. Even if you can't break back out into clear air, you know that you have ground clearance back there.

Always trust your instruments.

I once had to do a 180 when flying towards hills and cloud. Told ATC that I was turning and flying on my reciprocal course.

"Do you have VMC?" (Visual meteorological conditions)

"Yes. I do now."

It's about half the level you'll start feeling the symptoms of toxicity from what I've seen. So you should be fine unless extremely underweight, but I wouldn't sprinkle any nutmeg on my coffee or whathaveyou to pair with it.
There are 2 things I’d like to add which helped me. YMMV.

1. When I was in my late 20’s, I would meet my existing friends and try to hang out with their social groups. It helped me make a lot of really good friends.

2. Sports: If you are interested in a sport, try and see if there are local clubs where you can play. If you become an active member, they will call you to hang our with their group, where you can make more friends.
Sure, but luckily there are only 500 positions like that available so you can just avoid them all and take one of the 100,000+ executive positions that are below the CEO level.

This started with talking about mid level managers. I’m not sure how it got upgraded to Fortune 500 CEO ( we can’t all be Bezos you know).
I'm actually working on a tool to use data from the Glassnode API to possibly answer some of the questions. I'll be pushing it to Github at some point in the near future.

What's interesting about public blockchain data (from a node directly or something like Glassnode) is that the transaction data is so readily available. We can easily analyze transactions and unique addresses. Therefore transaction rates and volumes, long with unique to/from addresses, allow for ready analysis of adoption across the entire chain. For example, Polygon has relatively low trade volume but is very popular for smart contracts (applications). Because of this the ATH high daily transaction count is roughly 9x Ethereum even though Ethereum is considered to be more "popular".

I don't have any better or more valid comparisons for blockchain than what I've presented in that rant. Certainly open to any suggestions. That said, I think there's probably a valid internet law that can be derived stating something like "A new technology paradigm either reaches 1 billion users inside of 13 years or becomes irrelevant" (with the web setting the benchmark at 1B in 13 yr).

Appreciate the feedback on image and title. Perhaps a little clickbaity but I feel the premise is original and I establish some bonafides immediately.

The web and mobile were absolutely hard tech. The majority of web users went from dialup ISPs to cable, DSL, etc. Many thousands of truck rolls, ditches dug, submarine cables laid, increasingly scalable servers, the C10k problem[1], fiber optical cabling and optical switching innovation, etc. The list is almost endless.

Mobile - remember upon the exclusive release of the iPhone on AT&T and the network practically collapsed in major cities[2]? The success of mobile depended on massive build out of additional cellular infrastructure, back hauls, new spectrum auctions, the sun-setting of analog TV broadcasts, etc. Look at the standards (and component standards) for 2G-5G. I'd say that alone makes it hard tech.

EVs are a really hard (potentially invalid) comparison if for no other reason than the average car on the road in the US is 12.1 years old[3]. I don't know how I would start looking at EV adoption for comparison with that thrown in the mix.

Bear in mind that you're reading a recipe written by John Locke, an English philosopher. So he's using the English definition of "pancake", which is nothing like the American definition.
Move towards a tech job that connects you with communities of artists, musicians, and/or fashion people. Those crowds party well into middle age and the vibe is very much make-friends-wherever-you-go. For example: https://www.elumenati.com/, https://cycling74.com/, https://www.recurse.com/, https://tisch.nyu.edu/itp, etc

The money you'll have from still working on the tech side will allow you to bail out easily into suburbia if you ever do develop a taste for it

Games could be a good option too - small/medium studios full of people who are really passionate about what they do, like Klei, Supergiant, Private Division, etc. Might be too nerdy of a crowd for your taste, but you might be pleasantly surprised too
I experienced this when moving to a new country. I knew no one, didn’t know there to start. I ended up joining a running club where I met heaps new friends from all walks of society. Highly recommended.
A therapist would really help, I’ve had a few that helped me through existential crises.

This is a dialects of English thing.

In Britain: pancakes don't use baking powder. They're flat like a slighly thicker crepe.

I would describe a thick fluffy pancake made with baking powder as a "Scotch pancake", but in Australia, the USA, Canada and New Zealand, that style is just a "pancake".
You could argue that their language was too definitive ("you're depressed"), but it was said to coax OP into seeking professional help. So it's all good
Not sure if there is a better reason, but I think things like this just end up sticking around due to ossification. Almost anything (desktop/embedded OS, routers, ..) with a PPP stack will be built to work with modems with AT command sets, so new modems built to handle a PPP stack will still end up implement AT commands. Meanwhile if it's not broke, why fix it? It looks like the ATDT command has worked since 1981.

All of at least Huawei's 3G/4G dongles still support this mode, and would expect it's the same for pretty much any other vendor.
You don't. You just add the domain and set up the settings. Very fast. My iCloud account uses the icloud.com domain, and I haven't changed that. I did not need to migrate data, so I don't know anything about that.
What's stopping you from working remotely and booking a ticket somewhere else? Sounds like you live in a boring area.

I've been traveling and living abroad for the last 4 years after getting sick of the NYC grind. Although I wouldn't sell it as some miracle cure as it definitely has had its ups and downs, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

You don't need to conform to some traditional idea of what life is supposed to look like. Create your own path.
If true, how do you order a "none pizza with left beef" on the phone?
Yeah it's a weird vibe. Imagine if in the early CompuServ days the general person knew about it and thought it was a scam only for scammers, terrorists, and creeps.

As a user, I find it fun to chat with other crypto peeps about what they're doing...but talking to the outside world seems challenging. I can't really explain how "CompuServechain" isn't just a waste of time...but I'm having fun so I just keep doing that. I got a site setup on IPFS and connected to a .eth domain!

Maybe the difference is now people aren't coming to you for help with crypto, whereas maybe they were with CompuServe and smartphones? So you're playing a different role.

Oh you might get a kick out of this index of all decentralized ENS websites: https://esteroids.eth.limo/#/

The only requirement I know is that it's directed through a .eth, so the site itself may be boring. But most sites in the index seem to be hosted on IPFS and some even ask for a wallet to have app functions.
Great advice, in the same topic, I like the quote of @naval. Either have children or become a saint, because eventually, you have to find something you love more than you love yourself.
Yeah, I don't think it's mentioned because it feels like supporting spaces between words, I’d guess. Just so fundamental a functionality it's assumed.

I just don't see why you would care if this extra space is in there or not. If they want to stick it in there, be my guest. I can read either just fine, even if, gasp, it's not 100% consistent through the whole codebase.
> Still, I'm only in my 30s, and it feels like my life is pretty much done.

The problem may be your mental model of what “life” is. Imagine you were born, like much of the world, in a village in a third world country. Would your conception of life and what it means be conducive to your personal happiness?
The more non-nerdy, the more likely you are to find non-nerdy people

I'd also add the more "regular", the more likely you are to find regular people. The stereotypical events & hobbies recommended for meeting people can unsurprisingly wind up chock-full of outcast-sorts who are also looking to meet people. If you want to find a real group, and a variety of ordinary folks, you want to expressly avoid all the sort of things Lonely Joe Developer would try.

(Nothing wrong with loner types, but a concentrated bunch of loners is not a great foundation for building a strong social group)
I thought that too.

I still work on an old cold fusion application that works fine / makes money.

There’s something super fast in some cases where you write your sql, markup in one file and you are done.
It's 100% doable. My Logitech G903 works when plugged in only by the micro-USB cable and the dongle unplugged (It doesn't have Bluetooth). All the settings are stored on the mouse too which is great because it's 100% OS agnostic. The Apple Magic Trackpad 2 also works both wired and wireless.
Agree that depression diagnosis might be wrong. But the therapy is incredibly effective against all the symptoms he has described in details. Therapy is not just for depressed people. I have met different therapists and I was never diagnosed of clinical depression. However, I have faced many of the symptoms that he has described. It makes sense to meet a therapist (if he can afford it) and take their help. Also, in many Indian cities, therapists are generally a way to many social circles, for they act as aggregators. I think it is different in other places, but meeting a therapist (a good one) and taking professional help is the easiest and most preferable route when you hit a rut.
I'm sympathetic to the confusion, despite having a British origin myself, just because the thick-fluffy pancake is objectively more similar to other things we call "cake".

I come across these links as well and was able to find some of the source code, which generates these spam pages.

Actually, you can go ahead to such a spam page and view the index.html page of the current folder and what you will get is an HTML file with PHP code, which is not interpreted by the PHP interpreter, because the file has a dot HTML extension.

Sounds like you're in a lot of pain from the meaninglessness and the loneliness. Let the pain happen. Don't get on pills, dont get too drunk or stoned, dont get too wrapped up in work, just sit with the feelings. They'll tell you what you need to know.

I would say, don't be too hard on yourself. Yeah, you're lonely, your job is monotonous and unstimulating. That's real, that's what it is, and that's ok. You're really not having fun. Just be honest with yourself and that will make the burden lighter.

Get yourself sorted. The happiest people I know listened to Stefan Molyneux for years. If I were you I would listen to him for a couple of years.

It's time to feel the pain... No way around it. All the answers are probably not going to please you. Maybe you'll have to make some sacrifices. Just listen to yourself, be honest with yourself, and get yourself sorted.
I cannot say enough nice things about volunteering at a soup kitchen, food pantry, or Habitat for Humanity. Somewhere where people who are not as economically or situationally fortunate as you go.

You'll feel better for doing good things for people who need good things.

And you'll also feel better because it'll give you a truer baseline to look at your own life. Are there things you want to change? Sure! But it's easy to forget what you've got, viscerally.

IMHO, a huge part of suburban malaise is losing touch with what the worst life problems look like. Which isn't to say your problems aren't valid or real! But is to say that "My life is all problems" happens a lot more when we've forgotten the possibility of not having a roof, food in the fridge, electricity and water on, etc.
>WW1 was thought to have been impossible to happen ahead of time because of the losses in business and trade would have been too great.

For conventional business and trade, that is true. We're talking about war profiteers, a different type of businessman who profits from the churn.
iPhone is a terrible Product Name
I'm presuming that the iPhone is not being used for phone calls by the majority of today's users.

What should Ive and Jobs have named it to make sense in in the 202x's and onwards ?
Oh! That wouldn't have occurred to me. Great thought.
The use case is what I mentioned in the article: Easier development and deployment of open-source, self-hosted apps. This paradigm makes things a lot easier both for the user and the volunteer developers.

It simplifies the 3-tier architecture (DB, server, client) into effectively 2-tier because the server environment is replaced by a standard binary (PostgREST) with zero hand-written code. This is 33% improvement in language/framework complexity if nothing else.

If needed, one can also write postgresql functions/triggers in Javascript/Python/etc for productivity - although this doesn't seem to have taken off yet.
Honestly, there is not much in the whole diaper changing side of the world so you’re not missing much (and those that are changing diapers likely envy your situation).

In terms of things to do (other than therapy or looking to start changing diapers) - Learn to day trade - it’s a whole other world out there with great community (virtual), and software engineers do well in that environment. Travel the world in your spare time.
+1 This is the way to go. You'll do way more programming and your current background is super useful.
I dont understand why they are pressuring him to fix a issue that doesnt exist,

that CVE is invalid, otherwise I suggest to also report the logging core library, as mentionend by the dev, because it does the exactly same use as loguru

I understando folks are on edge because log4shell, but bullying a opensource developer is not the way

python allows the execution of ill-intended code, lets force python to scan code in search of this.... thats who they sound like...

and further proof they are actually bullying him is, someone pickle is "bad", yet the suggested alternative lib says it use pickle in the first paragraph, and this while "threating" to stop using the lib because author "wont fix"...

sometimes I fell ppl forgot how to think....
terrible advice. Travel around! be a transplant! uproot yourself again and again, continually running from your problems! distraction! the FOOD, oh god the FOOD! gimme a break lol.

There aren't any advances necessary, blocks just need to be made bigger, happen more frequently or both. Bitcoin cash has 32MB blocks instead of the 700KB average that bitcoin has and monero has a dynamic system. Litecoin, dogecoin and whatever else could handle plenty more throughput by just upping their block size. There is no actual technical barrier to this.

The only reason people think it's a problem is because bitcoin and ethereum have limited themselves so much.
Excellent quote.
I recently stayed in a hostel in mexico and met a bunch of very cool people who were all open to meeting people (as travelers often are). I still rented a private room but the environment of shared amenities (even bathrooms) and the fact that everyone is a traveler tends to lead to good interactions. So… try traveling and staying at a shared place (not Airbnb or hotel).
Most people do. They just rarely say it. Other people that you think are happier are often not, and they envy someone else, sometimes they envy you. World full of people who are envying each other, poor or rich, and neither are happy. Most of the life is boring objectively anyway, only a few moments really matter. Most of life doesn't matter, it's what you do with what you have is.
What about a more social software job, such as project management, or sales? Those would necessarily involve building relationships with people, and you would be branching out in your career. People who can do the less technical jobs, while having an engineering background tend to be highly valuable.
Young told his management to tell Spotify to remove his music. He didn't tell them to negotiate. Is your problem he said why he wanted his music removed?
