There does need to be some kind of reckoning here, pseudoscience is ballooning and dwarfing the actual practice of science. We're long past the point where researchers "should know better" --- we're now into Nature publishing this BS.
As stupid as the idea is I'm hoping it happens for this reason. Maybe people will realize the importance of truly owning their devices. It would be pretty ironic if that were to happen over TikTok, though.
I agree with everything you said. As a fellow old person, I just wish they'd call them HTTP+JSON as calling them ReSTful obscures one of the core principals of ReST, Hateos.

It may not matter for a ton of "APIs", but there are a number of places within applications that would benefit from this form of decoupling vs the static client knowing what to do with endpoints, so conflated the makes actual ReST hard for engineers to understand and utilize.
Not all tech jobs are like that. Also, different tech jobs will appeal to different people, which is fine. Maybe this one job is not the best fit for you, and there may be another one out there that is.

If I were you, I’d try a job as different as you can in a company as different as you can, for the sake of making sure the situation will be different. You might still land in a situation that’s not for you, of course, but that should mitigate the risk that you’d land on the exact same problems.
The expectation of the original game is quite positive. You can see this visually by rescaling the first graph.
Netflix won over piracy because it was cheap and had a lot of shows that most people wanted to see.
Watch them literally reverse both of those things - make it harder and pricier to use a legal service, and mostly have shitty dramas with one or two hits a year - and try to guess what will happen!
Especially for other countries that are not USA and EU, people can live well off of projects that make much less. Which is opportunity to get really good services while somebody is having a decent lifestyle of independence and creativity.
You're not replying to what I said:

> barely even touches on the real experiences of women and minorities who will be the ones whose lives are most affected as a result of the new laws being passed.

I qualified "women and minorities". There are many women and minorities who will not be affected at all by a ban on abortion. Specifically, the wealthiest ones can afford to have high-minded philosophical opinions about what life is, because if/when they ever encounter the real need for an abortion, they can just get one! And we know they will because that's what history and experience shows us happens in places where abortions are banned; abortions are not eliminated, they are just displaced and made more dangerous.

But that doesn't change the fact that the people who will be most affected by these bans, the people whose lives are on the line, are in fact women and minorities. And it doesn't change the fact that real experiences of actual people are completely missing from the discussion here. I mean, if you want to take your position, where is the discussion from the pro-life crowd about people who weren't aborted and appreciate that? Or the people who decided against an abortion and what changed their mind? That would be a good discussion to have too and would reify the whole philosophical debate. But that's absent as well!

And I'm sorry it so frustrates you that you believe minorities are used at proxies to advance views that are predominately held by white liberals and find it so disrespectful, but a lot of people also feel that you championing the government to control our bodies is indeed very disrespectful, so there's enough disrespect to go around.
The Tripods series by John Christopher. I read it in my 30s and it blew me away.

Still, my kids are around the same age as yours and haven't read those books despite my recommendations. :-) But they have also found some really great reading material by themselves through the school and library. Books and graphic novels that I wish were around when I was younger.
My personal take on this is that the idea of adjusting for inflation over time based on macroeconomic rates of inflation is useless (apart from showing that even though we make more money now, we can afford less). National inflation does not correlate with cost of living on a 1:1 scale.

The lesson is similar to the adage "the stock market is not the economy". Typical things that are presented to us as the proverbial market forces (jobs creation, stock market indices, currency valuations, national debt) are more often used as excuses by price-setters to increase costs for consumers, whether or not manufacturers and service providers (at any level) actually incur increased costs.

We as consumers are typically blind to this, and just accept that things get more expensive. Remember the oil issues in the early 2000s after the Deep Horizon leak and Hurricane Katrina? Gas prices went from ~$1/gal to over $3/gal for a while, then settled back in at around $2.50. And everyone was relieved and just ate that crap because they could finally fill up their suburban tanks without waiting in line. It's going to happen again here soon, when gas comes back down to around ~$4/gal (or $5.50 in CA).

Also, in what world does a stadium beer at a Padres game cost $5? Even a disgusting Bud Lite will run you north of $10. The reality of MLB is that you can probably get tickets for next to nothing, not need to pay to park (if your stadium is in an urban area and you are willing to walk a bit), but you will absolutely get gouged on food and drink. The movie theater model is in full effect.

I always see this and I wonder what other people are doing wrong. pip and a requirements.txt has worked for over a decade (along with virtualenv.) Yes, you may run into issues with larger projects and need something more complex. However, if you just want a list of dependencies and how to install them for a "simple" standalone utility like you describe, pip is the way to go.

The problem with guns is that they are designed for one clear purpose, someone that gets into some mental problem may see one and get ideas.

It also filters out projects by older people, who are socially less likely (IMHO) to share how much money they make with strangers.

Also -- with SaaSes I've started, the bigger customers all paid via non-Stripe means (ACH, check, etc.) and would not show up in these stats. Would have made those businesses appear smaller than they were.
IME Figma lacks crucial features that make it less useful than it could be:

* no global text search

* no way to anchor comments to elements (so if content is moved, comment context is lost)

* no way to quickly compare versions of designs

* no way to "subscribe" to an element so you get notifications when it is changed

There are definitely some advantages to Figma. It's mostly better than sharing MS paint drawings. But it has a long way to go for it to become a good tool for developer/design interaction. Again, IME.
You're getting unfairly dismissed, so let me take some of the downvote burden.

In this thread, I see implications about big media controlling microcode (which doesn't seem to be impacting piracy — if anything, it's easier than ever before), about governments imminently finding backdoors and trashing an entire generation of chips, and other extreme outcomes that seem wholly out of step with reality. (Not in the "Everyone else is dumb but we few are smart" way; in the "I have not interacted with a business or government ever" way)

I'm sure the 2600 crowd will have their next "Yes but what about the *Long form* birth certificate"-style goalpost shift if there are no backdoors found.

>There’s no reason to mix personal and corporate usage.

Exactly! I'm always amazed at people who do ANYTHING personal on corporate resources, especially in this day and age. Even when personal computers were rare and cost thousands of dollars I still didn't do jack shit on work computers, no matter how tempting or "acceptable use" it was.
Bullshit.

Brasil has >70% people working in the service sector. The percentage of people working in agriculture has actually shrunk since the Lula years. Mechanization and automation will guarantee it keeps shrinking.

The current economic measures are favouring only the primary sector to the detriment of others.

I'm not even calling for ceasing imports of agricultural stuff, all I'm saying is that the current madness is already making the people poorer.
Or Indie Hackers companies are earlier stage than you. In a different comment you mention working on your startup for nearly a decade, so folks who are earlier-stage would be less likely to have as much revenue as you.

But honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me that $700k ARR is the top 1% of Indie Hackers. I would have been surprised if it was much lower than that. Congrats on your success!
Looks like this experiment has been going on for a couple of years, a bunch of familiar (internet-familiar, have met Chandler a couple of times but do not know any personally) names were secretly working on it, and it was only made public a few days ago:

It seems that the goal is a new language with full interop with C++, kind of like Zig's interop with C.

- I wonder how much baggage had to be maintained for interop. If some of it could be isolated, how did they do it?

- Does this fall into any of the traps that D initially did where it allowed C interop but was, by default, more limited in what C environments it could run in or is this as flexible as C++ for environments?

As for the language itself, I've not had a chance to dig into it too much but I am sad to see that it uses explicit local inference by replacing the type name with `auto` rather than eliding the type completely [0]. While it has its pains at times, this is something I've come to enjoy in Rust.

I also didn't see mention of tooling. Having out-of-the-box build, test, and code formatting would be a big help for establishing community standards / practices, even if the build/test tool might get limited when having to do C++ interop. At least for pure-Carbon libraries it would be a big help!

> Once we can migrate code into Carbon, we will have a simplified language with room in the design space to add any necessary annotations or features, and infrastructure like generics to support safer design patterns. Longer term, we will build on this to introduce a safe Carbon subset. This will be a large and complex undertaking, and won't be in the 0.1 design. Meanwhile, we are closely watching and learning from efforts to add memory safe semantics onto C++ such as Rust-inspired lifetime annotations.

I'm a bit skeptical if they push off lifetime annotations too far.

For those who might have significant style revenue of the indie hacker style, here's a question.

Do you feel that in 2022+ the SaaS/software/e-comm niche generally has too little of a moat, now too much competition, and small startup costs? I've been in the "life-style" for a while now - but getting that feeling to move out to other areas.

>However, this might not be the case. Let’s take for example the Fall 2021 Reproducibility Challenge - an event designed to encourage reproducing recently published research from top conferences. Only 43/102 (~%42.16!) of the papers entered into the double-blind peer-review process were accepted – which means that more than half the papers, despite being written with reproduction as a priority, couldn’t actually be reproduced.

I don't think this is what a rejection means. Papers are accepted and rejected from the challenge depending on whether they do a good and thorough job of attempting to replicate the original work, not depending on whether or not they succeed.

The basic issue is the labor. We don't pay for good science.

Suppose I told you to develop good software that's novel enough to publish about, but only gave you enough budget to pay your SWEs a maximum of $30K/yr. That's one zero, for those reading quickly. Additional non-beneifts:

1. Unlike literally every other job in the country, you don't have budget to pay FICA taxes for your employees, and tax code allows this. This means your employees don't even have the USA's paltry social safety net to fall back on if they are hit by a bus or graduate into a massive recession, and their years working for you do not count toward social security or medicare retirement benefits.

2. Obviously, there is no budget for 401K retirement benefits

3. No CoL raises

4. Healthcare benefits will be paltry.

5. Your SWEs need to serve as a teaching assistant every once in a while. This likely means grading homework and a few late evenings of grading exams. No overtime for those late nights, obviously.

6. All travel, which is mandatory and often international, must be paid by the employee up front and reimbursement can take 1-3 months. We don't trust $30K/yr drones with corporate cards. Good luck making rent after a conference :)

Just to reiterate: You need to hire SWEs. You pay $30K/yr (less than some Amazon warehouses!), benefits package is literally worse than a part-time gig at a supermarket or fast food joint, and your employee is expected to give you $2K-$4K loans a few times a year while living paycheck to paycheck.

I just roll my eyes hard when I see complaints about garbage research code. Almost everyone in my PhD cohort had FAANG or finance offers; we were all taking 5x-10x paycuts to work on interesting problems and do science. If you want productizable research prototypes, hire PhDs to do science for you.

(And I say this, for the record, as a rare PhD who during their phd wrote code that is well-documented, well-maintained, and still used by dozens of companies for business-critical processes many years later.)

It's even worse in my opinion, because people here actually do seem to think that "the west" has it under control nowadays, which is one of the dumbest things I learned recently.

There are so many factors which were omitted in order to create that misinformation, but there is only one thing you can trust the industry to do: suppress any information which could negatively impact them, even if it could very well become an existential threat ...
Some of the most successful indie hackers I've seen have a very small social presence nor do they share much. They are just building cool stuff.

So Bionic reading is just a form of speed reading?

And it turns out that comprehension is suffering from trying to read faster... I think that most people, when they read, do a sort of automatic "speed reading" in their mind already.

What I mean is: I notice that when I read, my eyes will skip parts of words where I don't need to see all the letters to know what word it is. What if all this trickery simply hinders our innate and built-in "automatic speed reading" capability?

The usual impression of LOGO is that it's all about the turtle, but as it happens, the language has a fair degree of Lisp-iness to it. Nothing like the Lisp macro system iirc, but it did lend itself to functional programming and recursive algorithms quite well.
Also, there is Disney World, and EuroDisney, and hundreds of other non-Disney theme parks throughout the US and worldwide. Disney is setting a price that keeps them at the upper echelon of theme parks, whether the experience itself is deserving or not.

It is precisely because so many people working in the service sector that the country does not get rich. Doesn't build any wealth, doesn't get to export anything.

And also, it is not the amount of people working that determines how to enrich the country. It is the overall output. Brazil has nothing but the agro sector at the moment. To build a stronger industry, they need to come up with the resources from somewhere. And agro is as good as any of the alternatives.

There is certainly selection bias going on here. Sure, a lot of indie hackers register with the site to get exposure. However a lot of people won't disclose financials until the exposure is an obvious positive for them -- ie "look at how many people already trust and use what I provide."
