A couple issues I see. The extremely abstract nature of software can make progress sometimes seem very ephemeral, and make those dopamine hits hard to find. Ever spend a week or two on a bug going in circles with no progress? It's maddening, can seriously impact stress levels and sleep, and be very bad for your health. I think this is why some opine for a job where you step back at the end of the day and marvel at the work you did in the physical world. I personally know I get a great satisfaction when I complete a project around my house, and it's a very different feeling from when a unit test finally passes.

Then there's also the problem of not using your body. Up until extremely recently in evolutionary history, we used our bodies and brains together. It turns out office work can be just as bad for your body as swinging a hammer or welding pipes due to inactivity. It's really a dehumanizing way to live. Certainly you can try to balance the scales by hitting the gym after work, but it can be a struggle when you're fried from the day.

GDPR does not forbid providing internet resources to EU users, that is simply a lie. All it requires is that data handling happens in the best interest of the user.
Wonder what the tipping point was to get the author to write this.

We've seen examples of financial denial of service from governments in situations where they're unable or unwilling to hire thugs or apply criminal laws. I'll offer two:

Wikileaks is the easy one here. While it may have some problems, I suspect most of the HN audience believes it should exist. The US government has successfully pressured payment providers to deny service to Wikileaks in the past, which has the potential to become an existential threat.

Cannabis businesses in the US are another example. Cannabis is legal under state law in a significant fraction of states (a majority for medical purposes), but illegal under federal law. The federal government is mostly unwilling to enforce the federal criminal law against businesses that are complying with state law, but it's quite willing to prohibit banks from providing service to cannabis businesses.
None of the above. Microsoft Power Apps.
No, you don't need a humongous framework.

Install Node.js and an SQLite adapter. Learn to use the standard HTTP/S module. Write plain ol' JavaScript for the frontend and don't make it a SPA. Unless the app is getting a ton of traffic or has a lot of pages, there's no reason it can't be about that simple. In that case you only need 1 language and the only dependency is whatever you use to read/write to an SQLite database. No need for Rails, Laravel, Django, or anything that fancy.

On the other hand, one of those frameworks may be what you're looking for. I'm just saying it could be a lot simpler than that.
> The issue is if a person visits a resource from a company in the EU

Does it have to be a company in the EU? I thought the GDPR covered any website an EU citizen, resident, or visitor might use, in which case US-based websites might have contradictory obligations to the GDPR and US law.
I honestly have a hard time seeing how you could confuse that, but maybe I'm biased because I've seen this terminology forever.
No way to credibly signal that while decisionmakers can be voted out.

i guess engineering blogs have gone the way of recipes.
it's relatively easy to do simple stuff in Phoenix, too, especially if you're used to "having to learn a lot of the ceremony" around a more heavyweight framework like rails.

What is missing is a good database management system (like Django ships with) but on the other hand, the discipline of Phoenix will in the long run avoid your self/staff learning how to "abuse" Django's control panel to do super dangerous stuff (I have seen this happen in several places I have worked)

In the long run, using elixir the language will have far, far fewer head-bashing-in/tableflip moments than, Python and Ruby, in my experience, so if you value your sanity it may be a good choice
Interestingly, the life stories surrounding recipes may be a form of copyright protection.

John Quincy Adams.

After retiring from the Presidency, he was elected to the House of Representatives, where he was one of the leading opponents of slavery.

Washington didn't do much after retiring, because he died soon after.

Hasura is the greatest CRUD tool of all time. It gives you a UI you can build a database schema in or you can put in on top of an existing schema (PostgreSQL and MSSQL support), it has support for migrations, it easily integrates any auth you like, and you just run GraphQL queries against it to CRUD the data. Not a single need to write SQL or REST APIs or anything!
I bet if he was allowed to pick up an instrument and play it would be therapeutic for him. Sad story, hope he bounces back.
I don’t think it’s a waste of time.

Compilers are demanding projects where you need to be intimately familiar with both target and host languages. A self-hosting compiler means that target and host are the same language, and reduces that source of friction.
"Half of my software budget is wasted, I just don't know which half."

I suppose there's a sense in the trades that you know somebody wants something before you do it, because they've asked for it. And you can usually see where it fits into the bigger picture because the interconnected pieces are visually and physically connected.

I get a similar satisfaction from being a part time musician. When I show up to play music, it's because somebody has hired me to play music, and within the band there's a specific part that's filled by my work. I also know the quality of my own work instantly as I do it. I love music as an art, but on the bandstand, I'm a tradesman first and an artist second.

Working in a tech field, it can be hard to know if what you're making is ever going to matter to anybody, and it's possible to do negative work in the sense of costing more than what it returns. That can be frustrating.
> The main goal is to find Product-Market fit as a first priority

Agreed.

I want to see whether you realize that in the "Product-Market fit", the only thing you control is Product - you can manage/change/affect it as a builder.

However, you do not control the Market.

So, would it stand to logic that reducing the thing that you do not control - Market Risk (there's no one who cares about the product, we are going to build, at all) should be much higher priority than the Product Risk (we can't build the product)?
That was my "eternal chasing into new as yet unbanned services". The ban wave has largely caught up with big ICOs, but not with "governance tokens" or "NFT based communities".

There's going to be a cycle of "web3 gets big money", "big money fraud in web3", "SEC enforcement against web3", and then the launch of "web4" in 2030.
I think the solution is just to not get too attached to your account, so that you can just create another new account without thinking twice.
> It's literally whoever owns the keys listed as the registrant owns the domain.

Sure, but even so, how is this implemented? Presumably some organisation needs to uphold this connection. Simply "owning" a domain, in the sense that you "own" an NFT, is not very helpful, you need some kind of actual control over it. Presumably a server is needed to forward the domain to your IP, and someone needs to run that server, right?
What sort of display interface would you go for if you did the rp2040 thing? SPI doesn't really go fast enough. MIPI DSI is tricky. Are there any panels that do the simplicity of VGA style R,G,B,H,V (which the rp2040 has already shown aptitude at handling)

If you wanted to get back into it, maybe consider a full-sized notebook with high-quality paper (e.g. Seven Seas, Leuchtturm, or equivalent). It's harder to lose due to the size (and you could add a Tile/AirTag if you get a notebook cover for it), and it's also a nicer writing experience due to the paper quality.

That one of the founders is whiter than average and his parents were not poor, thus all his success obviously comes from one of his many priviledges, nevermind any hard work, determination etc?

What a tangled web of legal niceties and hypothetical interpretations
we've woven here. But the moral arithmetic, toward which European
thought is tending, is more brutal and something to which American
corporations had better pay serious attention to if they want to keep
playing this game.

In general; we hold that "ignorance of law is no excuse", yet in
contract law _capacity_ is a key construct, and ignorance very much
_does_ play a part. It's not just minors, the mentally-ill, or those
incapacitated by drugs or alcohol, discombobulated or bamboozled by
other means, who cannot give consent in a contractual relation. In an
age where most lawyers and judges, like everyone, mindlessly
click-through "agreements" and shrink-wrap EULAs, there's a strong and
growing argument to be made that non-expert adults lack genuine
capacity to understand technologically mediated relations.

In other words, it's the contract law that underlies this stuff that's
coming up for revision, not the surface interpretations. The important
matter now is not deliberating whether the letter of the law creates
"consent" on this or that occasion, but whether the spirit of the law
allows for consent even in principle, given societal standards of
digital literacy and the complexity of modern digital interactions.
Not one single thing changes the course of history on it's own. A bunch of factors need to come together to make that happen. Has literature (and arts in general I would add) been one of those factors? Totally so.

Yes, you could add anyone to your list of people you wanted to your friends list to see if they were online. And if they were online, there was a spell that told you the cardinal direction they were from you, plus a fuzzy distance (they are very far to the north). So people used to hunt each other when they got to disagreements, and at higher levels, it was common for entire groups of people to get into wars with each other. The lack of instancing of any kind, made it so to advance you would need to go hunt monsters in an always shared environment, and with monster respawn rate sometimes being too low to support multiple people hunting at the same spot, and monsters not spawning in view of a player, made disagreements on who got to hunt where be bound to happen.
There are people who will complain about anything related to war no matter what. It doesn't matter what the military does or what actually happens. All they understand is that war=violence=bad.

+1 for Django. Defining your model is easier than CREATE TABLE and built-in admin is ridiculously powerful - it can do all the CRUD operations, makes it super easy to add bulk actions (literally just a function), comes with filtering and search that you simply need to enable and handles nested forms (like 1-N or N-M relationships) out of the box.

User authentication and permissions are built in and there are many 3rd party modules available to do all sorts of thing. django-import-export for example allows importing and exporting to/from any spreadsheet format, including a preview of the changes before you run it for real.
Interesting, never realized that book even existed.
Yes.

More generally, any low-difficulty, low-stressful task or source of enjoyment is probably a cure for most homeless people. Especially if you give them a shelter and food and access to shower and safety other stuff you don’t get being homeless.

Homelessness and drug-addiction are a vicious cycle. Imagine yourself, but homeless on the streets, dirty and with a headache. Would you be able to sober up, re-learn software engineering or some other trade on your own, and re-aquire a living space and job? Maybe, but it would be incredibly tough and would take at least a few months. Meanwhile you have to find food, avoid the elements, avoid thieves and police. find spaces to clean, spaces to sleep. And also whatever job you take, you have to compete with people who aren’t homeless and don’t have to do those things. And this is ignoring the temptation and withdrawals from drugs.

But let’s say someone gives you a basic job and basic necessities. Now it’s a lot easier to get back on your feet, because you only have to deal with the drug withdrawals. The work also helps serve as a distraction and alternate source of happiness, which is extremely important.

You gave these people a clear and reasonable way to succeed and enjoy life without drugs, effectively breaking the cycle.

> Also noticeably absent in the Auerrind Project’s stock are Heck cattle, the striking, aggressive breed created in the 1920s by two German zoo directors, Heinz and Lutz Heck. Despite the lack of modern-day knowledge of genetics, the Heck brothers both claimed to have recreated aurochs through back-breeding. Heinz even wrote, “The wild bull, the aurochs, lives again.” Disturbingly, these early attempts at creating aurochs dovetailed with the fascist politics of the time. Lutz in particular, who was a member of the Nazi Party, convinced Hermann Göring that the return of ancient European beasts like aurochs and tarpan, or wild horses, fit with the the National Socialist Party’s ideological push to recreate an imagined European past.

At least some of this is the background for the excellent movie “The Zookeeper’s Wife” starring Jessica Chastain

ETH is not the only chain out there. Transaction fees on Polygon and Harmony average between $0.001 - $0.02, and have all the things you'd expect from DeFi like Uniswap, Curve, and Aave.

The decentralized part of DeFi is the smart contracts. If you can interact with the contracts without any centralized help, then how exactly is it centralized in your opinion?
Not an expert, but there was a post on HN recently which mentioned an exchange refusing to touch tumbled crypto.

I think GP is calling out the sweeping characterization of the headline posted here.

Energy thread demonstrates a particular usage of Twitter
Besides the content of the thread, which is interesting, you'll notice if you scroll through that the thread is added to periodically, whenever the author finds a piece of information that adds to the theme of the thread. This is an underused but valuable way to use twitter. @grayconolloy maintains several of these threads and builds up arguments that can contain years worth of contributing information.

While any thread could be curated to make it look more prescient or more predictive or more correct generally, these threads do demonstrate the overall effect of being able to compile a realtime and longterm "story".

Twitter's most innovative or emergent uses never managed to be useful for most users, and the canned attempts to deliver what people invent have been unsuccessful for the most part. The main reason why to my mind is that it takes literally maintaining a list somewhere of "long-term threads", and remembering which posts to post in which thread. No one does this, but for many in the news-media this would be a valuable way of piling up information into a coherent narrative that people could always "unroll" or whatever.

Please comment with the obvious twitter features that I'm not mentioning. I really don't use it very much anymore and nothing recently has jumped out at me either as a feature or as a feature that people use and promote that replicates this functionality.
It’s amazing that this thought came out of neural network.
