Right now I'm on my third job in my career where we've migrated off from Heroku. There have got to be agencies out there that specialize in this, right? If not, it seems like a hell of an opportunity for someone.
I think of it as the "big two" and it's housing and healthcare :-/ No other one thing exceeds half of either one of those.

Yeah I disagree with this. There was a line in Sapiens (I'm forgetting which chapter) but most of humanity during civilization have lived in Empires. Maybe you can construe the definition of Empire to be a dictator but I don't think that's fair.
> spelled the precipitous decline of enlistment to less than half that number over the next five decades

That was why, as a teenager, I refused to consider any kind of military involvement. The whole Vietnam war appeared an abuse of the draft and the goodwill of people who joined voluntarily.

I still lean towards a belief that militaries should be all voluntary.
>i am curious what you mean by looking for new reserve currencies as a function of a portfolio, does this mean simply going overweight non US stocks?

This is significantly less important to individual investors. As an individual investor you need to simply not be in inflationary assets. Stocks, even US stocks is fine.

The USD being the world reserve currency and use by countries around the world as official currency means when the US government prints money... it's not really felt against the american people. It's felt against any country that isnt. When the USD loses it's reserve status or becomes far less important. The american people will start to truly feel inflation and the debt. Right now, this is absolutely nothing.

The BRICS summit this year will have Biden sweating bullets. They'll probably line it up against the US midterms. Ukraine wont be a subject at this summit but will be the most important subject.

Largely speaking, the USD when it drops will be very painful for the american people.

In what world does incompetence make someone possessing nuclear weapons less dangerous? Europe is pretty densely populated - an accidental launch in western europe's general direction would do terrible damage and potentially start a chain reaction of reprisals that would be catastrophic.

Also, Russia's rockets still seem to be working pretty well as evidenced by the fact that they were used to send American astronauts to space for the last 10 years[1].

I wasn't at quite this scale (yet) on Heroku, but I operate a service with quite a few moving parts, and I was deeply concerned about what an increase of scale would mean for my costs on Heroku. I moved to Render, kept my monthly opex essentially flat, and dramatically scaled up the available compute resources for my users just my biggest customer's needs really skyrocketed.

I'm glad I switched when I did, because I think I'd probably have a $600+/month bill from Heroku right now.

Edit, couple more thoughts about Render:

I've been using Render's managed Redis offering for the past few months in beta, and it's been rock-solid. I'm really happy with it.

Also, I am delighted that Render's two United States datacenters are in Oregon and Ohio. My understanding is that they spread their customers across GCP, Azure, and AWS, and I could not be happier to be out of Heroku with its exposure to the tire fire that is AWS us-east-1.
makes sense for homebrew maybe because homebrew is 'the missing package manager' -- you do this for HB because there's no package mgr underneath

The entire premise of the website where we're discussing this topic, was to create a culture of equipping programmers to escape the hamster wheel of employment by starting their own businesses.

No, it's not easy. But there's also the early retirement people, who spend little and save aggressively to escape the hamster wheel.

And there is also the mentality of not letting the thing you do to pay the rent or mortgage define you. Put in your 8 hours, but don't let it consume you outside of those hours.

You don't have to spend your whole life in the noodle shop. There are other ways to live.

With that out of the way, I think having more opinionated Django frameworks is a great thing. Particularly around styling and forms.

I also think it's interesting to try to "productize" (I think there's a better word) what is often done as consulting. That is, bottling up and selling experience. So while the price may seem high, there's a ton of wisdom behind it. An experienced Django consultant is easily thousands of dollars per week.

I wish you the best!
The price people are willing to pay is who determines the actual worth of the ticket. Doesn't matter if its from the ticket booth or the scalper.Do people sell tickets for less than the concert costs to produce where you live? Thats a very flawed business model. Could it be instead that the pricing model for tickets doesn't adequately reflect what people are willing to pay?

If ticket booths charged exactly what scalpers charge would that change anything for you?

The project seems really well put together but until you figure out your ideal target customer (and their needs) I would hold off on pricing it too high. Maybe offer it for free, get some learnings and as you add more value and get more clarity on your target group, you can then ramp up the price?
You may have not read my entire comment. I'll repeat that the lack of exports of Ukrainian and Russian wheat because of the war will cause a lot more poverty, and maybe even death in Yemen, than its own war. Add the entire middle east that survives on Russian and Ukrainian wheat, and maybe you can understand how Ukraine may be more important to the middle east than Yemen, which is already there.

I haven't used a Quest specifically, but I have used a number of VR headsets, both personally and for work. Regardless of the hardware tech, there just isn't a compelling user story there, and I think the market performance over the past five years bears that out. The only thing anyone talks about is Beat Saber, not even Alyx made a cultural dent. Facebook's VR demo video was frankly embarassing. There's just nothing there to attract users, it's a solution looking for a problem. Facebook certainly has the money to fund this boondoggle for eternity, but that doesn't guarantee any significant userbase or cultural impact. Like I said in my original comment, maybe Apple will strike gold and find another iPod in this, but I just don't see it happening.

Put another way: VR has the smell of 3D TVs and movies, and not the next smartphone.
it's kind of interesting that physical totp generators like entrust, securid, etc all went with 8 digits vs the "typical" digital totp codes being 6 digits long

I think it matters a lot whether we're talking about a relative hazard of 1.5 over a lifetime or, as in this case, over a year.

If, year after year, people who suffered covid in 02020 and 02021 continue to have 1½–2× the risk of developing pericarditis or stroke or congestive heart failure or all these other health problems, or if people keep getting covid every year, well, because of the high lifetime base rates of those problems, that would be a bigger health problem than anything since before AIDS, bigger than smoking, maybe bigger than anything since the Black Plague.

On the other hand, if, say, 1.8% of people develop ischemic heart disease in the year following covid, while 1.1% of people without covid do, and then in the following years they don't get covid again and the hazard rate declines to the base rate of 1.1% per year or whatever, that's still a significant public health problem, but it's not nearly as big as the people covid killed outright.

(Those numbers are from Supplementary Table 3 in https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs415...: "COVID-19 burden" of 18.47 cases of "Ischemic heart disease" at 12 months, and "Contemporary control burden" of 11.19. The other supplementary information is at https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs415... and https://github.com/yxie618/longCVD.)

Though I'm no virologist, I don't know of a plausible mechanism by which covid could cause people to get ischemic heart disease, pulmonary embolisms, etc., after 5 or 10 or 20 years of not having covid. More likely, what's happening is that people who haven't fully recovered from covid are getting blood clots, and that's damaging their organs and sometimes killing them, but after a few months they do fully recover and so these problems stop — unless they get covid again.

Given that we now have numerous effective vaccines and a few effective palliatives, it seems likely that even though covid has become endemic, people will be able to avoid suffering this level of damage year after year. But I have to admit it's an open question.

I hate these overly naive intros as if they are the victim of something. You need money and you think that a subscription model fits the best like for 90% of your competitors. You did not look around to find some magic way to monetize you sold your product for cheap to onboard more users and are now either running out of money or you hit the tipping point and MAUs for subscription. Painting everyone in bad light but doing the same is dishonest and is setting yourself up for failure. I give them 3 months until the first dark pattern starts to appear on their canceling page.

> you want p and q to differ in length by a few digits

Not exactly; a uniformly random (admissible) p,q pair will suffice with very high probability, but in those cases p and q will likely have the same number of digits. One can avoid the bad case for Fermat's method by explicitly forcing p and q to be a couple orders of magnitude off, but the probability this helps is so low that you're only just reducing your security in aggregate: the bits of entropy you're shaving off by restricting the sample space are more impactful than the resilience gained by avoiding a (very, very) tail event.

Assuming, of course, your parameters and (P)RNG are decent. See further discussion here on the history of that recommendation https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/35087/should-rsa-... .
Choosing the Resilient Problem to Solve
Hello everyone I started sharing ones a week my Build In Public process, before even building the product itself. Today's post is longer than expected, but worth reading it I guess.

I go back and forth on this. Having a single service is definitely much easier. However, consider the following scenario: you want an application that asynchronously ingests data from different sources (whether they are files, streams, database stores, etc.), perform some computations and aggregations, store them to a local DB, then allow the user to display the result. Would it make sense to separate out the ingestion code into its own service, that calls out to another service that is responsible for storing to the local DB? The rationale is that writing to the DB is now controlled through one service (almost like a queue, where connections could be controlled), and the ingestion could be scaled up/down independently of the DB write service. Thoughts?

Ok, but you should be a little bent out of shape that your PC can't run switch games.
Hmmm. Politics of the 1800s are weird. Both sides were imperialists, expanding their domains far beyond their historical norms.

Russia expanded eastward. Japan expanded westward.

You're right that Japan ultimately was the one who started the attack though. But I'm also looking at Russia's expansion to seek a warm-water port on the Pacific Ocean and connect it up with the Tran-Siberian railway.

Russia definitely was encroaching upon the East. But Japan also was encroaching upon the West, with the 1890s Sino-Japanese War. Soooooo... both are kind of imperialistic assholes on this event, now that I think of it.

Well if they want to be stuck inside like a hermit then don't complain about a lack of sunlight - go outside.

Wouldn't it be more helpful to first learn more about what the reader actually wants, instead of just assuming everyone is the same as you? If the OP is unhappy about living in basements, they probably won't benefit from being told "you're wrong" lol. I'm happiest when I have a comfortable home with big windows and a great view, and when I spend almost all of my waking life inside that home. The pandemic lockdowns were the best times of my life because I didn't have to see people or leave my home. There are people out there who enjoy different lifestyles than you, and conversations would probably be more effective if we started with that in mind.

Nope, was phrased correctly. Going outside is not a lifestyle - it's what normal people do.
>Russia has no interest in massacring and torturing civilians

He says as they shell residential areas, hospitals, etc.
I don't think so. They are creating the metaphor that banks == blockchain implementation + stakeholders, money == blockchain tokens. Currently most of the cryptocurrencies you see with ICOs are just erc20 tokens ontop of ETH (therefore centralized). For banks they leverage SWIFT + other more local mechanisms (double entry accounting, etc...) to resolve transfers.

Its possible in the future we will develop a mechanism that allows two completely unrelated & unconnected blockchains to transfer tokens between eachother. I assume there would have to be either an intermediate chain specific to this purpose or both chains would need to follow a similar implementation. So far we started with Proof Of Work, we now have Proof of Stake and Proof of History. There may be more mechanisms in the future.

"It's just that Russia forgot to do it by proxy this time"

Russia has been conducting a proxy war in Ukraine for years, trying to inspire ethnic Russians to revolt against their supposed Ukrainian oppressors. That ploy turned into a quagmire because even ethic Russians in Ukraine don't want to live under Russian control.

Russia is doomed in this fight. They've only secured about 20% of Eastern Ukraine, exposing the rot in the heart of the Russian military in the process. If they ever get as far as Western Ukraine, where they will face desperate ethnic Ukrainians armed to the teeth with advanced weapons, supported by supply lines to the Western world and informed by real time surveillance the Russians can only dream of, the Russian body count will be staggering; far beyond any level Putin can conceal or survive politically.

The awful truth is that this ends only after enough Russian men have been fed into the meat grinder and Putin is deposed. For Putin it's win or fall, and winning clearly isn't feasible.
Japan started the war with a surprise attack, but Russia intended to go to war with Japan and everyone knew it. Japan just figured that, as the smaller country, it ought to try to seize what advantages it could

Is it really, despite being horrific?

One essentially mobster is accosting another country with soldiers seemingly reluctant, in what might be no more complex than a clear mobster survival ploy in a country plagued by poverty for all but his cronies.

I ask that because it seems reminiscent of Slobodan Milosevic 23 years ago in Serbia.
The pattern is very simple: status update and collaboration meetings grow to consume the official workday. Perhaps not 100% cover, but with few and short enough gaps that you can't really work in them. To the extent that your survival or advancement at the company depends on actually doing some work (this is not guaranteed!) you need to do it on your own time.

I think it highly depends on your target audience.
As a person from both devops and SWE worlds, it all comes down to "do you already know how." If you know how already, it's the way to go for sure. If you don't, the extra money to outsource it will enable you to focus on adding value elsewhere.

Now that said there's definitely a cultural belief in startups that you should outsource everything you can. It works for some people, but I've seen it kill others because they were sending all of their revenue to their vendors. The outsource model always suffers as you scale up.
