Excitement turns to satisfaction if you allow it.

Try tiny, well-defined tasks that are easy wins. Nine out of ten wins for the week feels pretty good.

What are tiny tasks for a micro-startup or for any project?

Think about processes, and then break them down into bite-size chunks. A process is defined for things like “design a component,”“weekly accounting” or “daily answering emails” or “fixing bugs” or “making sales calls,” etc.

You can also think about specific processes that address your KPI’s: number of website hits, number of emails collected, number of new connections made, total sales, etc. Every business or project has a different set of these. Each KPI has one or more processes that drive it. Write down these processes, break them up into pieces, then execute.

None of these things sound particularly exciting, but they still have to be done to be successful. The trick is to gain the satisfaction from doing them, and doing them correctly.

Get in the habit of planning, executing, and taking time to celebrate your wins.

Satisfaction is the goal.
In interrogation school, you learn how NOT lead a subject to the answer you want to hear, but to try to get at what they believe is the truth (what did you do? Who did you do it with? Who else did it with you? When did you do it? When else did you do it? Where did you do it? Where else did you do it? How did you do it? What else did you do… and repeat). If you can ask these questions without asking any yes/no questions, congrats, you’ve got the basics of interrogation. Now just construct a timeline in your mind, keep track of subtle inconsistencies to come back to, and you’ve got more of the basics down.

Interrogations during school (with trained actors) we had to extract 80% of the information and write a report on it containing 90% of the information we extracted, with no notes, up to several hours after the interrogation.

Interestingly, I learned how to “tag” memories as authentic (so I could write about them later) which has had interesting implications later on in my life.
Agree with all of the above. 3.5mm has been a widely adopted standard for what, 30 years?

> Yet when the editor showed me their notes, I felt bad, I felt I was wrong. I felt that mentioning my briefs was wrong. It was as if I were being called out for a misdemeanor. The editing was so subtle and penetrating, it sent me on a tailspin. How can I explain? In my version, I was in my underpants, and that specific shame was inherent to the portrayal. That shame was existential yet not political. Putting my underwear on the page was a way to show vulnerability, but without making it too clear a predicament, a way of adding the warmth, the sleaze, the camaraderie, the confusion. In their edit, though, it became something altogether different: my making ironic fun of my naked wife was now unfair—even unjust—as it was now coming from a presumably fully-clad person. And without the hint of our drunken blackouts, we now had no shared sadness and exhaustion, and also no affection and complicity.

This paragraph really hits home for me with respect to what people refer to as a "chilling effect" on expression post 2015. This American editor almost feels like a metaphor.

When juxtaposed with our values, it's clear how things got this way. Social media lets us casually evoke, and even moralize, these judgements. When cast en masse with hash tags, threads, and replies it looks like a very unsafe world for us to be ourselves. Suddenly, things look less free than they used to be.

A man must be poking idle, unpleasant fun at his barely dressed wife. A parent must be bad if there's beer or cigarettes observed, but not when hidden - that's a different kind of ill, right? All these little cliches add up to a larger story, and that's what I'm reading. Our tendency for clear villains and heroes leaks into everything we do - even to how we shape our literature.

Doing the full-stack since I was ten. Have created communities, designed web- and desktop applications — for corporations as well as myself and the public. Don’t want to work full time, because I’m growing my own food and have to look after the chicks.
>They don't hide that they collect data.

They have a mode in Chrome called "incognito mode" that, to the average person, strongly implies it doesn't collect data, yet of course it does.
DaVinci is in good company. Another such slacker was Newton, who spent all of that time on alchemy but never did transmute lead into gold.
Let me be more direct: suggesting that the life of the average Millennial is so uniquely miserable that the best approach is to give up trying to make things better, and implant simulated memories is one of the most myopic, selfish and self serving drivel I've heard in recent memory.
I'm skeptical of that claim... It's natural to assume that the HTML obfuscation would also be useful for reducing the effectiveness of ad blocking tools which would presumably have a much more clear impact on FB's bottom line

I don't have an iPhone to test it with but I'll see what I can do.

At least on the Chrome viewport emulator it looks fine to me...

Here is my golden setup: Cloudflare Tunnels + All ports closed (except ssh) + bare metal server. You can scale to the moon with like a million active users on a couple of 16 core servers (1 primary, 1 hot failover). You don't need AWS. You don't need Terraform. You don't need kubernetes. Hell, you don't need docker because you know apriori what the deployment environment is. Just run systemd services.

99% of the startsup will never need anything more. They'll fail before that. The ones that succeed have a good problem on hand to actually Scale™.

What we're seeing is premature-optimi...errr scaling.

Edit more context:

For Postgres, setup streaming replication between postgres and hot standby. You need a remote server somewhere to check health of your primary and run promote to your hot standby if it fails. It is not that difficult. Have cron jobs to back up your database with pgdumpall in addition somewhere on Backblaze or S3. Use your hot standby to run Grafana/Prometheus/Loki stack. For extra safety, run both servers on ZFS raid (mirror or raidz2) on nvme drives. You'll get like 100k IOPS which would be 300x of base RDS instance on AWS. Ridiculous savings and performance would be just astonishing. Run your app to call postgres on localhost, it will be the fastest web experience your customers will ever experience, on edge or not.
It's hard to tell the real story from the various articles. Organic chemistry does tend to be a difficult class for various reasons--and not just because of weeding out pre-meds. And it's easy to see that layered with a semi-retired professor who is very set in his ways who, just because he has been a well-respected researcher doesn't mean he's the best person to teach a large lecture course in a difficult subject.

When the dust settles, and Trump still is not in hand cuffs, what will you say then? Start yet another investigation because this time "we've got him!"?

We've heard now for 6 years that there's a clear "smoking gun" and we're just days away from indictment. One investigation ends empty-handed, and another just pops up because "reasons". Good thing we're not holding our breath...

This classified documents thing is 100% unresolved at the moment. That is a very objective fact, despite what you want to believe.

> Let's use your own attitude against you: where's the official investigation?

That was the original point. Trap set, and sprung. That story was squashed to shape an election - extremely effectively. If that is not election meddling, I do not know what is.

> Do we even know if that's his laptop?

They do not even deny it anymore. Plenty of videos of Hunter engaging in illegal activities (which by itself does not implicate the President), plenty of emails, plenty of payments from Chinese organizations and corrupt Ukrainian officials, and even former business partners confirming the validity of the rumors and who the "Big Guy" is.

We have none of this from the Trump family, only rumors started by the Clinton campaign that so far, despite unlimited resources, time and efforts plowed into relentless investigation after investigation, have come up dry.

But... none of these facts matter apparently, because Trump isn't on your team. That was the point the GP post made.
> Rebase has become so integral to my workflow, it's hard to imagine living without it

I'm the same. I commit frequently. A lot of those end up being `--amend`, but a lot of time I will rebase and squash/reorder/etc. In fact I'd say the majority of time I push changes I've rewritten my local history at least once.

According to any git history you'd find from me on the server, you'd think I never accidentally commit syntax errors, break unit tests, and that when I do big structure changes or refactors I get it the way I want it on my first attempt.

> including configuring git pull to rebase rather than merge

It annoys me a bit this isn't the default -- at least for teams that work from a single centralized git repo (eg: almost all corporate dev, and the majority of open source). I've done it for years and have never had any issue with it.

It doesn't rewrite anything but your local (non-pushed) history, which is totally fine. (Unless you are working with multiple remotes, in which case it causes chaos, which I think is why it isn't the default).

Are there other drawbacks?

Oh come on!

If you are talking about plausible deniability for the person (I was talking about Twitter) - there is strictly zero value of it for him. He is in prison and everything should be done to free him up.

Other people that worked with him? It is not like the public Twitter messages cannot be filed as they come (other do it for you too). You mean that he may have received DMs? Ah, and the zealots in Iran will just say "ah yes, right, this must be the devil US".

So before getting all warmed up - state what you have to state. This is not like there is a big secret about people using Twitter/Telegram/Signal to protect their lives and only you, me and 3 other people are aware.

You are probably much more experienced in plausible deniability than me. I have just set this up for companies, on actual systems with actual encryption.

It is not that you have an error in your reasoning - it is that I do not see that reasoning at all.
I can see the argument for smoking... but why would anyone think someone is a bad parent for drinking a beer during the day?

A lot of people in Europe drink a beer or glass of wine when having lunch. It's completely normal.
Does anyone know about updates on mRNA treatments for cancer? I had big hopes after the impressive corona-virus vaccines. I know BioNTech is investing heavily but not much has changed since then?
300ms is a "long press" on a key on Android, and an eternity on an actual keyboard.
And why is that? Because Americans are puritanical.

I don't think "puritanical" is the right word in this case. Unless you are implying that smoking being considered unhealthy is something based on Puritan or other religious values.
You have to apply the China factor.

> while traveling through multiple foreign countries.

On the contrary, there are cases where people flying through multiple countries which have different approaches to health treatments have ended up taking multiple pharmaceutical interventions, one per nation-state sanctioned regime, where there have been zero clinical trials on that specific combination of treatments.

To be pro or anti "vaccine" is as meaningless as being pro or anti "software" or "chemical" or "food". Details matter. We are currently in the world's largest, unprecedented scientific experiment, and we are fortunate that the vast majority of participants have been healthy. Data from the outliers will be studied for decades to come and future generations will honor their sacrifice and contribution to science.
It is true that it is not dependent _directly_ on Russian gas, but that is a bit naive.

The UK is highly dependent on Norwegian gas which now has to bid against Germany for, as an example.

Read about the “Dark Matter Developers”

Those who make it through the funnel with only X are likely more than the X+Y scenario simply because it's less learning and new concepts so drop out will be reduced. This cohort are probably more likely to go on to learn Y if we further assume it was so valuable as to have been "required". In reality requiring X+Y backfires as step 1 because X is all they want and X may be worth 10Y to the student at step 1. The value of Y may increase to >X after learning X.

When I learned basic HTML, CSS and JS. On step 1, JS had essentially no value. CSS sounded like it had value but was a bit nebulous and optional sounding. HTML seemed like an obvious requirement for building a website, so that's where I started. Once I learned HTML, the value of CSS became obvious and I pursued it. JS still seemed esoteric but later once I got HTML/CSS down and wanted to do more JS kept coming up as the solution. So I learned it too. Now, I'd say JS is way more valuable to me than HTML/CSS even though I learned it last.

This was in the 90s BTW and the path wasn't very clear back then. The first book I bought was actually a Perl book and quickly realized it was too advanced of a place for me to start. I learned about Perl after noticing the /cgi-bin/ portion of URLs and wondering what that meant. It had to be something most sites where doing similarly. This was before Google so whatever random SE I used back then told me cgi-bin was associated with Perl scripting for web development. I continued to struggle with the backend stuff (JS was FE only back then) until PHP3 came around. I'm self taught if that wasn't clear.
I love how the cable-layers carefully made all those US-EU cables perfectly parallel.
That's very interesting. As someone who has to take a fair amount of ibuprofen etc. for inflammatory arthritis, is it worth just tripping out from time to time?
I have plastic AR lowers that are still working perfectly after thousands of rounds. If you use a monolithic design (built-in buffer tube & pistol grip) and make it out of glass-filled nylon, it's as durable as an aluminum lower.[1]

I could see a push for treating pressure-bearing parts as firearms, but I don't think it'd fly federally. Also unless you required everyone to serialize their existing barrels (which amounts to registration) it'd be impossible to convict anyone unless you could prove they made the barrel after the law was passed. Then you'd get into questions such as, "What is a barrel?", because at some point you're just banning certain diameter pipes. If someone invents a new caliber, does that mean we have to restrict pipes of that diameter? It quickly gets absurd. And considering the pace at which fabrication technology is improving, I doubt such restrictions would do much in the long run.

1. You can even do push-ups on it: https://twitter.com/DrDeath1776/status/1568280857835610113
It is amazing how vertically integrated GM used to be - for a vehicle they made just about everything except the windshields, the paint, and the tires. They also made city buses, diesel locomotives, fractional HP electric motors, earth moving equipment, consumer kitchen products, and sold insurance. They even had their own university that awarded bachelors and masters degrees. All of that is long gone now.
Its not necessarily gatekeeping, its just assuming that all others who come through are also motivated in the same way you are. Reality is that the same experience likely discouraged countless others and prevented them from pursuing development.

I'm the same as you, but I recognize not everyone is.

Yeah, but flexbox came around 2012 and Electron came around 2013. Web UI weren't that popular until electron.

WPF is well, windows only. QML is C++ or python and didn't look native at all, but it also didn't look very pretty either. With HTML + CSS you can easily make an eye candy.

David Perell’s North Star Podcast is almost nonstop info. He asks great questions, sort of rapid-fire, while still keeping a pleasant and engaging flow. Try his Tyler Cowen interview if you haven’t listened yet.

No new episodes this year so I’m not sure if he plans to continue but the few I’ve heard have been great. Hoping the rest of the archive is similar.
Didn't the scientist discoving it take a "small" amount which is like 10x that much? I always find that story funny for some reason. In this day no scientist is just like "let me try a few mgs of this thing I created" lol
I wish the thinking that leads to articles like the one in the OP would take physical form so I could take a baseball bat and release my frustrations by beating the hell out of it.

Good thing the students aren't in charge of hiring/firing the professors.

> Maybe it's just me but I don't understand what this sentence means. I've never heard of a "marriage blackout night" and can't parse what it means.

The author explains the term and agrees it needs editing.

> "the usual briefs and t-shirt" is not a sexual statement

It makes the author's comment about his wife sexual. The author is suddenly fully clothed and mocking his naked wife, instead of sharing in their shared hungover, underdressed state.

You also fail to mention the second example which is explicitly sexual. It seems as though you didn't read it all.
How did they know the subjects had never been in a hot air balloon before? I’d apparently been up in one as a child, but didn’t remember it until I went up in one as an adult (verified with parents fwiw). So it’s certainly possible some percentage of subjects may just needed a trigger and had actually been up in a balloon before.
> "I frequent drug-friendly events and hang with drug-friendly people"

Adults or Children?

My friends were all "gifted kids" who hung out in the same social circle, and did lots (and lots) of drugs (acid, DMT, mushrooms, coke, weed) from age 15-18.

In all cases it was great until one time it was suddenly NOT great. Yes, I actually witnessed at least 3 "meltdowns" where someone started acting really, really scary-strange, "We should call his mom!" strange.

All of them have negative feelings towards drugs as adults. There was no internet then to look up correct dosage, "safe" usage. No reviewed darknet dealers selling "real stuff" vs. random shit you'd buy from a stranger at Lollapalooza. I don't know what to say, but it's true, I saw people get messed up (long-term) from hallucinogens and swear them off forever.
Yeah, but no one wants to look at GTK apps.
> The highlight of that day was an older lady that had a beautiful Mauser 98k that her husband had brought back after fighting in WW2. She said she needed the money and honestly thought the $100 gift card the police department offered was fair. We exchanged numbers and she ended up selling it to a dealer for $900.

This is the aspect of gun buybacks that really rubs me wrong. They take advantage of ignorant and desperate people by not paying the fair market value of the guns. Old widows regularly get scammed out of thousands of dollars by these cops.

Incidentally, paying fair market value for the guns is also the solution to people trying to sell 3d printed crap. Offer them the pennies a plastic recycler might offer for it.
I had a professor from hell too and while I got good in his class it was a really bad and unnecessary experience. He was the kind of person that you'd need to ask a clarifying question and he wouldn't want to listen, he'd send you back to reread syllabus and other course documentation without wanting to listen to the full question. Whenever people were stressed out and confused he'd slightly smirk, the only time he'd show any expression on his face.

This professor was tough, wasn't teaching too well at all and often would route you to the materials without giving any further explanation. This was undergrad and as an experience it was really unnecessary in my opinion other than to show you that in life you'd run into arseholes and you'll have to deal with it.

I don't know the professor in this case but my understanding was that students didn't want him fired, they just wanted to clarify exam questions and/or the exam questions style, clarify materials for exams and all which seems quite reasoning to me. I read some vulgar spins in newspapers that students don't want to do their work, they're lazy and entitled and so on. That is most likely oversimplification
You should be able to write about a scene without moralising or having to give an origin story or explanation for behaviour.

The need to do this in American movies, TV and books ruins a story.

You aren’t actually arguing again the core argument: contracts, laws, and enforcement don’t require governments. Just because this is the dominant system today doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the only way.
Yes, my cancer was discovered pretty early by pure chance in a CT for an unrelated issue. I had zero symptoms, was really fit and pretty much never sick.

Who knows how long it would have had time to mutate and grow otherwise. Early detection is a really important issue for cancer treatments.
