I remember a brief period in the early heyday of the LAMP stack where the A meant "Apache" and nothing else it felt like "Just Install Apache" was all you needed to self-host random PHP applications you would find.

It feels like we have all the raw technologies to make it easier than ever, it's just all the "glue" that sucks (or doesn't exist).

- Home IPv6 is so much easier to work with than workarounds I recall doing with IPv4 as a kid. Static IPv6 is actually achievable and AAAA only DNS works in more places than not today.

- Let's Encrypt does make the TLS dance much simpler.

- Docker containers do give you cross-platform sort-of sandboxed virtual environments that can run just about any app you like in any programming language. No more L or P dependencies in the modern LAMP stack equivalent with tools like Docker around.

- SQLite has shifted into being a game changer in database serving. In the old classic LAMP stack installing and maintaining MySQL was three fourths of the "fun" (and just about 90% of the pain) and there's no great way to sandbox a MySQL server other than to spin up multiple servers (which is a bit much for a modest self-hoster), but every application could use its own SQLite DBs easy enough, the SQLite DBs can be embedded in and don't have to leave app containers, and that should scale "good enough" for self-hosters. (SQLite is also the choice of the linked application here.)

In terms of glue, I feel like there's a meta-narrative to explore of "single docker container apps designed to be self-hosted" and maybe a meta-"app server" with an easy to use interface to control them. I don't know what you'd call that pattern or how much interest there would be in this SaaS-heavy world.

Some other half-baked thoughts:

- fly.io's business model is SaaS for obvious reasons, but their tools look "close" to the above desirable "glue", minus the parts that are SaaS for business reasons. Vercel is a similar example of an off-the-shelf tool that might be handy for self-hosting if it wasn't so focused on supporting SaaS business models.

- The last time I did any serious self-hosting on a VPS I really liked Cherokee's [1] configuration approach: it makes sense for a web server to itself be configurable as a web app. Similar to how cPanel got so popular in early LAMP stack SaaS days (is it still popular?) simply because it offered an easy web app UI to manage an application stack. (Looks like Cherokee's documentation hasn't been updated in a few years, and at least from the documentation still doesn't even have Let's Encrypt (ACME) support out of the box, which seems a shame.)

> The study results are "colonoscopies do not lead to a reduction in colon cancer mortality". Reporting that isn't misleading that's what the study says.

The measured intervention was not the colonoscopy, it was the invitation to screen. Only 42% of invited patients actually got a colonoscopy. This is far more persuasive to me:

> "When the investigators compared just the 42% of participants in the invited group who actually showed up for a colonoscopy to the control group, they saw about a 30% reduction in colon cancer risk and a 50% reduction in colon cancer death. “That adds to a bunch of observational study data that suggests exposing people to colonoscopy can reduce risk of developing and dying of colon cancer,” Gupta said."

As a member of the public, I don't really care about invitation to screen, but do care about the efficacy of colonoscopy. I can see invitation to screen being an important concern from a public health standpoint.
Why the sudden China bashing? China has more EV uptake than the U.S., in fact they pretty much invented the electric micro-car as a market, because of the density of their cities.

The reality is that U.S. is more dependent on oil than any other major industrialized economy. We consume more than the EU, and we consume almost as much as Asia, despite being some small fraction of that continent's population.

The Saudis just flipped us off. We should get off of oil.
In this case, taking off a couple hundred grand and buying a Ferrari (rather than leaving in Celsius) would have been the smart move. At least you’d hold the keys to the Ferrari.

Big +1!

This is like an employer failing to gauge the number of people needed to do a job, just tell you to do a little extra...

Never ever will you get the benefit of a cut from the cost of the missing people, but your employer WILL get the benefit of delivering something more valuable to the market.

It's not a mistake, it's a "lie-to-children" fundamentally no different from an intro analysis class talking about "the" real numbers. Freshmen aren't ready for model theory, and they're not ready for rigged Hilbert spaces.
>Therefore, no one is going to pitch a legit arbitrage opportunity to you.

I once wrote a quick and dirty arbitrage tool for Magic: the Gathering cards (stores publish price lists they will both buy and sell at). It really did work but (of course) it quickly caused a lot of the best arbs available on the market to go away.

Eventually the store owners themselves paid me to tell them if they ever had arbitrage opportunities for their own stores (to avoid accidental mispricing versus competitors) and the whole thing sort of went away but we absolutely DID pitch a legit arbitrage opportunity to people that people paid us for (and, in fact, still pay for today).

A super old test version of the free version of the tool is here: https://mtgpricer-uat.appspot.com/arbitrageTool I doubt it actually works any more though.
Android does! The API is quite esoteric, but I've built a custom layout before for the Pixel C, way back when. You ship a special XML layout file in your APK that gets picked up by the input framework.
Fundamentally, the price you pay from working a job in terms of time and energy lost will very rarely be worth it to the individual. There is a disconnect between the human mind, which has complex desires, and the place of any individual human in the world, where getting anything done requires either sacrifice or prior luck and your role is very small for the most part. For a job to be satisfying, it will either have to be something you'd do anyway (which is rare) or something where your contributions live up to the demands of your mind (which is even rarer)
Yup, that's pretty much exactly it. As for our regulations, Fish and Game determines when to open a region for a specific fishery, in the example we're using, it's purse seining, as you've correctly gathered.

The decision to open or close is made based on "escapement" numbers, i.e. the estimated number of fish who have made it back up their origin river to spawn. In the case of hatcheries, that's easy to determine, but they've been using a sonar system named Bendix since the 70s or so to figure out the rivers.

Ask HN: Indie Hacker, Solopreneur, Entrepreneur Achievement Milestones
For those of you who have jumped off the corporate train (or never got on) - what would you consider the key "achievement" points in your journey? I started thinking through what I would put on such a list but then thought it would make for good discussion here. The achievements obviously vary in difficulty and time required for attainment. Here's my starter list:

* Decided to build a product/service with the intent of releasing it
* Learned a new tech stack that I plan to use for the purpose of building my thing
* Executed sufficient customer calls to have clarity around potential product/market fit
* Public availability / First public customer usage
* First dollar generated (ads, subscription, one-time payment, whatever)
* Irrationally angry customer feedback via email or twitter
* Raman profitability attainment
* First paid employee hired
* First business development partnership inked
* First lawsuit
* Sale of company/assets

Any thoughts on Windy? https://www.windy.com (UI is a bit intimidating)
I’m not in your targeted demographic on who you want to answer this question, but I thought my perspective as a non-rural remote worker might be worth thinking about:

I’m not here in the city to meet up with likeminded people and go to conferences. I’m here as a matter of off-work personal lifestyle.

Living in a rural or suburban community usually means living in a place without walkability. It means being doomed to long car rides to perform simple daily errands. Our family’s single car sits in the garage all week while we walk and use transit to get around. It’s healthier and happier.

Living in a rural area means worse access to education and healthcare. In the city I have massive amounts school choice for my kids, both public and private.

In addition, there’s more diversity of thought and backgrounds to expose my children to within a city rather than a being an isolated monoculture.

I think a lot of people assumed cities would get worse after the pandemic, but I only see them getting better. The rush hour crush of office commuters is much more manageable now, and the trend in American city areas continues to head toward more livability and residential development over 9-5 Office oriented development.

Yes, I am remote, so I can live anywhere. I don’t have to suffer in a tiny condo, I could take my tech industry salary and own a rural mansion instead. I’m just not sure what I tangibly get out of that besides extra space to store a bunch of excess consumer goods.

Perhaps, accepting the imperfections it is better to try to optimise for happiness, even if the optimisation can only be judged as to whether they're generally heading in the right direction ... perhaps if imperfect measures of happiness are improving then life improves for the many in a way that doesn't improve by measures which reflect mainly financial aspects of society.

You can make a rich person 100 times richer and overall prosperity is probably decreasing. But you can't really make someone 100x happier (especial if there already relatively happy), all that money maybe made the rich person 1.0001x happier (or even <1x). Seems like given this sort of difference in happiness and financial wealth measuring the latter has a built in aspect of relative equality. For those who care about creating societies that benefit the whole population, this is an enticing possibility.

Microsoft has no significant catalog of existing games that will run on a handheld console, unlike Valve, so they would slam headfirst right into the same problem that killed the Sony PSP and Vita: getting publishers to publish or port to it.

If they can establish a market for a streaming handheld, they can sneak up on becoming a handheld console too by adding the ability to play local games in a future iteration.

Classical behavior emerges from quantum mechanics as you enter the classical domain.

This can be explained through phase decoherence. As temperature rises, random phase shifts are introduced, which effectively removes the quantum effect. You can show mathematically how this works.

Consider the young experiment:

https://imgur.com/FqogDJj

For a plane wave ψ ~ e^(ipx/ħ-iωt), the wave function at X is the sum of two components

<X|ψ> = <X|P> + <X|Q>

Where for some path-independent normalization function ψ(X,t), and using the small angle assumption (QX-PX = 2Xa/L), the components are:

1 ipXa/ħL
<X|P>= ψ(X,t)- e
2

1 -ipXa/ħL
<X|Q>= ψ(X,t) - e
2

And the probability of finding the particle at X is

2 2 2 pXa
|<X|ψ>| = |ψ(X,t)| cos -----
ħL

That is what you'd expect from the Young experiment. If we introduce a constant phase shift ϕ between P and Q, you get this average instead:

2 2 2 pXa
|<X|ψ>| = |ψ(X,t)| cos (--- + ϕ)
ħL

If this phase shift is instead random, the formula becomes

2 1 ^ pXa 2
|<X|ψ>| - (1 + | dϕ P(ϕ)cos(2 --- + 2ϕ)) |ψ(X,t)|
2 v ħL

Where P(ϕ) is a probability function for the phase shift. If the probability function is flat, the integral is zero since you're integrating the cosine across its domain. What you get is the classical result!

2 2
|<X|ψ>| = |ψ(X,t)|

You can even re-phrase random phase shifts into a diffusion equation, and find that given α as the diffusion coefficient

2 2 1 -αt 2 pXa
|<X|ψ>| = |ψ(X,t)| - (1 + e cos (--- + ϕ) )
2 ħL

i.e. the transition behavior from quantum to classical dependent on a direct measure of the decoherence!

α small => quantum result, α = large, classical result.

That also leads to slippery-slope politics with the Adirondack Park Agency as to why cellsite adoption has been so slow and frustrating.

Speaking as someone who used to live in Long Lake and had to drive to the edge of the hamlet down at a bridge just to get a single bar to check back in on family, I certainly wish the APA would loosen up a bit more on just letting towers go up.
why are we speaking about happiness and not about the colonisation of the solar system or about finding out what truly lies behind our existence? simulation, multiverse or what and if so, why?

That said, a good metric obviously mesures power on this planet so it must be something like how fast an economy can build a space station or advanced military equipment.
With moral realism, why should I care about your personal moral preferences? Whether moral statements are facts says nothing about whether your preferences are the right ones. And either way, moral statements being fact isn't actually a reason to act morally since the universe only punishes you for being immoral if religion is real. What's stopping anyone from rejecting the True moral statements in favor of ones they personally prefer?

Ground/PE pin is there, in passthrough mode at least (I'm using European/Schuko version). CE certification is obviously missing (in Conformité Européenne sense I mean, China Export is there), but hardware is 1:1 clone of Sonoff, so I don't worry too much about safety. The device looks like a mass produced in a factory, not a homemade solder in a garage. Temperature isn't hot, looks normal to me. ESP8266 chip is the same, the rest (a few Y caps, resistors, LEDs, pushbutton etc) I'm pretty sure is chinese crap anyway, regardless of whether this is Ewelink or genuine Sonoff. Local suppliers here in Ukraine are selling Ewelinks reflashed to Sonoff firmware as genuine Sonoffs anyway, so I see no point in spending more.

Poorly-kept secret about consumer packaged goods: you can launch your own brand of just about anything tomorrow if you don’t care about sourcing. There’s a US domestic factory making just about anything you can dream of that isn’t electronic, and, if you want something more specific, cheaper, or electronic, there’s Alibaba.

You can white label your own shampoo, sunglasses, supplements, anything, and even if you do the sometimes quite hard work of making sure your product is world-class, it often still doesn’t change the fact that once you have the product in hand, you’re now in the marketing business. This holds true even if you’re tapping a captive customer base with demonstrated search intent as in the case of Amazon. High quality product helps, but in the end it’s a marketing business.

This site doesn’t appear to make things much easier than just googling ‘[x product] contract manufacturer’ and picking up the phone. The product is the easy part.

I'm not sure if you're actually reading this (mess) right:

> The neoconservatives, for example, are a showcase of what happens when the moralogian takes hold of the reins of foreign policy—and it is a consistent ideology that genuinely seeks to spread the values it values.

I know Bush himself was elected as "religious right", but the author seems to view the neocons as atheist ("moralogian"), and Bush himself was kind of a well-meaning puppet puppy... I always thought "atheism for the masses" got rolling much earlier in '92 (I think of Clinton as "nihilist pseudo-liberal conservative" but that's just me).

I don't even know what to call the current moment - batshit delusionalism? That kinda works...

In a past interview, Phil mentioned "dabbing with a handheld prototype since forever", so they already have a head start

The problem is their strategy with the cloud, i believe it is the wrong one since they are burning a lot of steps

They should have done the nintendo way, since the beginning, and as 5G networks gets deployed, you supplement your library with cloud and various services, and then once it becomes mainstream you already have a huge userbase ready to transition fully to a simpler cloud only device

Let's remember:

https://twitter.com/xboxp3/status/463171463168524288?lang=en

then 3 years later the switch was released

and then 1 month later he doubled down on "i don't think we'll do a handheld"

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/q-a-with-scorpio-risi...

Then 4 years later the Steam Deck was announced (and that's when he mention the "we dabbled with handheld since forever", * i'm still trying to find that itw, hold on *)

So in total, they had more than a decade (3 generations), to release multiple attempts for a handheld, they did nothing, and they are still the 3rd and last player in the console market

And nintendo annihilates both Sony/Microsoft with their handheld, just 1gen, still beats 2 of their competitors gens

Series S should have been a handheld, and Series X the digital only console, i think they agree but they don't have the balls to rectify, that's funny when you consider they also had the balls to release a phone with 2 screens lol

A lot of this is, IHMO, looking back at the past with rose colored glasses:

People look back at home prices but don't account for interest rates. So yes, homes were cheaper for the boomers in the 70s and 80s but they were paying 10%+ interest on those homes. The actual monthly cost isn't much different.

Cities were much cheaper but they were also much more violent. So those people that bought in Harlem for a song in the 70s and have a million+ home today went through some shit. Even today you can get a home basically for free if you're willing to have a crappy home in a shit neighborhood if you want the Boomer experience.

Also, people had to move. Most of those boomers in California that made a bunch on their home moved from somewhere else because homes were cheap in California. People today can repeat that experience. Probably not the "greatest real estate appreciation ever" part but definitely the "cheap home with decent job prospects" part.

Similarly with cost of living. Outside of a couple notable exceptions things like appliances, cars, clothing, etc. are cheaper and (at least arguably) better today than what it was back then. The big differences are health care and education. But even these are a mixed bag.
