Recovering marketer from the productivity space here. Your product looks great. Here's my two cents on the "positioning" dicussion happening: the copy on your "Our story" page reads like most other productivity apps out there. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's generic, buzzwordy, and you can swap your company name out for any other company.

> That's why we decided to build XXXXX — an all-in-one work management software that is simple to learn and easy to use.

What's missing IMHO is this: why did you undertake the drudge of building this? All software creation is motivated by a disatisfaction with what's already out there, so what is the unique point of view that motivated you and... it is hoped, will motivate an audience who shares that point of view. It's not why you are better, cheaper, faster (those are terrible vectors for positioning btw) it's what makes you different.

Are you anal-retentive about detail and hyper-connectedness (JIRA)? Are you psychedelic burners who want to bend a spartan UX into infinite directions (Asana)? Are you cutesy but robust (Trello)? Are you so hyper-opinionated about product management to the point of pedantry (Basecamp)? All these are perfectly cromulent points of view by the way. Marketing positioning is about articulating YOUR point of view, in order to activate the tribe that shares it.

For more on this see Simon Sinek or Chris Lochead. This is my favorite topic in the world. Good luck with your product!
"Financial constraints" of a company, any company, are such that:

- development costs money

- workplaces cost money

- people want to eat

You can pay for Plex with money (Plex Pass). And while I sort of dislike them

Same. It does feel like they want to hire only yes-men.

I initially learned the Intel syntax, and preferred it for awhile. But the more I work with non-x86 CPUs, the more I prefer AT&T just because it feels less different than everything else.
I think you may have misread my comment, that wasn't the part I was referring to.
On hw level, memory access errors and hardware malfunctions are often called exceptions. For example, on x86 the MCE architecture does this.
"electronic gizmos" is not screens...

I can think of quite a few electronics I spent money this year which did not include any screen device. Again, these stats are misleading, maybe dishonest.

My "device" budget we'll call it has been less than 1000$ over the past 5 years, and that is with spending a fair amount on non-screen decives, which are electronic in nature but not investments in dedicated computing like you would have us beleive.
FTX collapse, Tether have links to infamous online poker cheating scandals
AT&T syntax is the most elite syntax. I've used it to write some famous hacks, like Actually Portable Executable, which is a 16-bit BIOS bootloader shell script ELF / Mach-O / PE executable. People dislike it because writing assembly Bell Labs style requires great responsibility. What makes AT&T syntax so powerful is its tight cooperation with the linker. I don't think it would have been possible for me to invent APE had I been using tools like NASM and YASM and FASM because PC assemblers were traditionally written as isolated tools that weren't able to take a holistic view with linker scripts and the C preprocessor. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jart/cosmopolitan/master/a...
Yes. Most organizations I've worked in have an OKR, several epics from that OKR, and several stories from each epic. I tend to work on stories all across those epics, but even broken down stories can never be broken down enough for a single programmer. They're still broad because I'll need to gather requirements from external teams, get a permission here, or dive into a deployment workflow there in order to fully close the story. To the business, a story is the smallest unit of work, but to a human we have many steps in that unit of work.

In a contrived example, if my OKR is to reduce the engineer attention in a given support process by 50%, my epic might be to create a framework for automating tasks via Slack. My stories then might be:

- Spike: Investigate Slack API

- Spike: Investigate programattic interfaces of Jenkins

- Build bot framework

- Build pluggable Jenkins module

- Spike: determine deployment patterns for framework + modules

To a business, these are bite-size as the chunks can be, but to me that may involve tracking threads in channels, doing POCs, and doing a lot of reading. All of those things may fall under a single story.

In a laymen's sense, I need a Jira for my Jiras that the business doesn't need to track because those things largely don't matter to the whole.
It's a fallacy to believe you can fight discrimination with more discrimination. But then that isn't the only fallacy you're promoting is it...

The one thing that Teller doesn't mention since his response is going to a fellow magician:

Put in an absurd amount of practice time. Teller has clearly put in a RIDICULOUS amount of time doing prestidigitation. And he uses that as the basis for practically everything.

> It's probably not tested in court but I don't think Rui is obligated to continue to provide AGPL for old source code, just because he had before. Perhaps if you could determine when someone became a licensee, you could say that old/existing licensees can continue to use the old terms. But new licensees can be obligated to use new terms.

Any old licensee that holds the source of the old code with the original AGPL license can distribute the code with the original license to anyone else. They have the license to do so.

That is anyone can just press fork on github, and keep distributing all the AGPL versions with the original license.
If you want to prevent people dying of overdoses, then stopping people from starting would achieve that. “Decriminalization” is about treating the symptoms rather than the problem.

> We can no longer just feed the substring of render that we want to print right into abAppend(). We’ll have to do it character-by-character from now on.

The more functionality you add to a program, the more complicated and slower it becomes. You can add optimizations and abstraction layers. But the best way to write a bug free and efficient program is to keep it small and simple.

If you do need those functions though, you can make your life easier by writing tests before implementing a feature. For example before writing the code that colors numbers, write a test that checks if numbers has a color, and a test that measure the time it takes to render a line - and have it fail if it becomes significant slower.

So as an exercise you could write a test for each step in the tutorial.
Pretty sure that's because Pepsi is sweeter (the regular non-diet version). The sweetness is initially preferable, so it tends to win out in the "Pepsi Challenge" but then is overwhelming when you're drinking the whole thing.
Burning fuel at a single power station that is reasonably distant from populated areas is far better from a health perspective than tens of thousands of small, poorly-regulated engines burning fuel within 10 yards of people's homes. I would take electric over ICE even if it were 1-to-1 on fuel consumption, just to feel like I can safely breath outside again.
Incorrect. Singapore has almost eliminated drugs and drug use entirely. I believe it has the lowest rates of drug abuse in the world.
> They are using a classic dollar sign for assignment

They're using a dollar sign for immediates.

As if you can't notice that it's a number.

addl $4, %eax

that's 3 different completely unnecessary symbols for things which are not ambiguous in the first place:

- the operation width is provided by the registry

- a number is an immediate

- a register is named

Hence the much less noisy Intel syntax:

add eax, 4
Thanks. I was about to freak out if you built and maintained all this as a 1 person team.
Very disappointing, that's a slap in the face to everyone who contributed

If you wanted to monetize your project, you should have done it from the beginning with the proper license

Getting exposure and contributions only just to change the terms is just disgusting
codeflow2202 says> "they are all buffed with splendid livers."<

That is a puzzling phrase - what do you mean by that?
In reality this looks far too basic to actually be a todo spec for a reasonable productivity app.

ie basic functionality I personally look for that I don’t think this would support would include:

* Projects with hierarchies

* Reminder dates

* Tags and contexts

* Multi-Step tasks
I saw news articles like that too. There was particular concern about ICU beds. Then I checked the NYT live feed of ICU occupancy and it showed that ICU occupancy was barely higher than the historic average. We converted a stadium into a field hospital in NY that was never used. We sent the Navy medical ship, the Mercy to NY. It was never used.

Also, hospitals were full of people who got covid, had mild or no symptoms, and went to the hospital anyways because the news terrified them.

None of these comments deny the fact that a terribly unfortunate number of people died from Covid.

The very first vaccines came out in July 2021, but were not widely available. Omicron was here by November.

He tried something. He failed. Sometimes the license has to change even if we don’t want it to. Having the project around in altered form is better than not having it at all.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. And yes, you're right. Not being able to import/export is a deal breaker for many people who are really interested in Upbase. We'll need to prioritize that.
I wonder if AGPL is exactly the problem. There are certain large corporations that wouldn't touch anything with AGPL, and thus have little incentive to sponsor projects like mold because they see little benefit from it.

Dropping AGPL might be a step in making friends with some corporations while losing some open source friends, but the latter don't pay the bills.
I’ve been down a bit of this rabbit hole before. We work with PDFs, svgs, fonts and chromium too. While I don’t have any need for this tool itself, I’d highly recommend flicking through this article as a nice overview of the graphics / font pipeline.
Perhaps. It wasn't an analogy, but rather a vibrant reference to the concept of oscillation. Your original comment declares a simplistic version of "working" based around having reached one specific condition, while writing off the dynamic system behavior and other effects that occurred while getting to this point.

Now, do we have reasons to be believe that this oscillation between shortage and surplus will grow or diminish? Will the next half-cycle of the oscillation create negative qualitative effects, even if it is ultimately diminishing?

I'm not saying there are easy answers to those questions, but we're better off being able to ask them.
He's not wrong about value. Plenty of valuable things in society have not fundamental value. High end art and luxury brand clothing are two examples. And no, a $50m van Gogh does not have utility because you can enjoy it. Because you could enjoy a $200 reproduction just as well.
Maybe consider working for yourself instead of a regular job. Bootstrapping your own startup, or working for a startup. Especially if you are flexible about pay, you can find much more relaxed and less political projects.

I think this depends on who you listen to, but I'm a huge fan of the monolith and wouldn't break one up unless I has a specific tech need(eg some weird library), a performance issue unaddressable in the monolith, or big organizational people problem and in that order.
AFAIK the stomach remains the same size, but what changes is how your body processes hunger. I've noticed while fasting that after a while, my body gets used to reduced food intake. Then I can get full by eating considerably less than what I'd call a normal sized meal.
This is written like it's a novel take bucking the trend, but I feel like most things I have seen on this topic for at least several years now have the same observations and conclusions?

Would you still think that if your only son became a heroin addict? Would you stand by your ideology in that case? Addiction is a life sentence.
I wonder if it's worth worrying about that. There's plenty of freelancers who have no ambition of growing beyond a small team that helps them with the side stuff. Those are the freelancers who don't want to become entrepreneurs. I think they're an interesting enough market to target, and maybe it's OK if those who have dreams of growth don't feel addressed here?

Come to think of it, it may actually be flattering to solos if you recognize them for what they are and don't treat them as not-yet-bigs, if that makes sense.
Completely agree! We build our .NET projects in a similar way too.

My current SaaS company has 8 web projects and 1 core project. Some of the web projects are SPAs using BFF and others are APIs for customers or our mobile app. They aren't tiny sites. We're up to ~500 controllers. All in a single repo and automatically deployed as a monolith. We have a super small but very productive team which we attribute to this simple design.
I think that world is coming. The representation of tasks, dependencies, hierarchies, calendars, and collaborations should be relatively universal.

If there is a popular standard, it will remain popular. The trick is building up enough users that they begin to credibly demand an export to the protocol from big players like Atlassian.
FTX files for bankruptcy, and the fallout begins. Who's next?
It looks very helpful! I tried other tools before and the best so far was azure devops - but It's not for PMs.
Jira is, well... jira (driven by a pm team that doesn't stop adding useless changes). Trello is just to simple for complex things.
I guess upbase is exactly what it needs to have a small and good pm management.
I will buy a lifetime license.
A question thoug: will it support jottacloud for document storage? I don't like google drive because of google and my documents are better stored in norway.

That is just an arbitrary notation, nothing to do with logic. In English at least, "add 4 to x" is more natural than "add to x 4".

I think we must be thinking of different things - the quote from Timothy is originally Greek, not Hebrew: "ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστιν ἡ φιλαργυρία..."

The greater context being seeking contentment with your current lot in life, and focusing on becoming good, not rich
Much agreed. Intel syntax just seems somewhat alien.
Something like 99% of homicide and rape is perpetrated by males, and they have more T than females, so a naive analysis says yes.

> This is how we end up with tools on top of make like configure, autoconf

In the case of configure and autoconf, it isn't.

Those were created to solve a problem which a Makefile by itself wasn't able to do, which is portability to the plethora of unix systems and a few others.

Nowadays a lot of software is not written with high portability in mind, and much of it is Linux only, but at the time Autoconf came out (1991) Linux barely existed, and there was no dominant unix-like OS. There were many different ones.

Autoconf was quite refreshing as an end user. To make software portable so that people could build and run it on their systems, especially systems the software author didn't know about or couldn't test on. The consistent ability to run "./configure && make" and have it just work was a big improvement over the ad-hoc myriad ways of configuring downloaded software that were common at the time.
This guy wants to go out as a martyr . Dems have been smart up to now not to give him this satisfaction, they should keep the same approach.

Humans have millions of years of evolution searing into our DNA the impulse to be social creatures. And it always struck me as actually anti-science to be very hush-hush or even outright ignorant of the profound negative consequences of social isolation. Even worse that the least vulnerable should be forced into social isolation.

This is a neat piece but mostly just stating that Eth is rubbish, not really making a case for it.

Buterin I think is what he is - it's not creating fake charities trying to enable his identity through some kind of fake moralism. I think he's the real deal even if he is ultimately 'created' by some other person, and it ultimately ends up a marketing gimmick, I think he's true to it. He's not taking other people's deposits and running off to Bermuda.

Here's how my story played out -- maybe there are a million stories like me I'm not sure.

Bought Monero on Voyager (because my electricity costs are high where I live and I didn't want to mine it). Planned to immediately transfer it out from Voyager to my offline wallet. Saw that Voyager "didn't yet support transferring out" for that cryptocurrency but would soon. Cool, I'll just wait.

A month or so later, Voyager goes under and I'll probably get nothing or pennies on the dollar.

Genuinely curious, what was the right course of action to buy Monero in a low-overhead, safe way?

I had to laugh at this:

> Similarly, I started using Lightroom around 2007 because it was so much faster than Apple’s Aperture.

I had the exact opposite experience. I used Aperture because it was so much faster that Lightroom. I could apply the same changes to multiple files at once, which at the time, at least, Lightroom couldn’t do. You had to work on each file separately. If you did a burst on manual, Aperture’s workflow was waaaay faster. I’m still sad Apple end-of-life’d it.

Other than that I agree with the spirit of the article. I love it when software is so fast you don’t even have to think about the software. It’s so rare these days, especially with web apps.

Living in New Mexico (which nobody would consider part of the South), I have heard this phrase all my life. NM tends to rank near the bottom of positive state rankings, and near the top of negative state rankings. E.g., two quotes from its Wikipedia page:

> In 2021, the per capita personal income was slightly over $45,800, compared to $31,474 in 2007; it was the third lowest in the country after West Virginia and Mississippi.

> Its poverty rate of roughly 18% is among the highest in the country, exceeded only by Louisiana and Mississippi.
honestly no.

it is considered wrong because it is unjust.

In the constitution of my Country (and many others) there's written that "all citizen are equal in front if the law, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age (..)" etc

Nowhere it is said "because it's economically inconvenient"

They are considered human rights, that people inherit as humans when they are born and are inalienable.

So, no.

Even people who discriminate have the right to not be discriminated.

Retaliation is not a human right.
Yes. Programming in C++11 was an overwhelmingly better experience than before. C++14 is, additionally, much more fun.

Coding C++17 is better than C++14, mainly for its destructured bindings and improved variadics.

Coding C++20 is much better, again. chiefly because of Concepts, but co-routines will become increasingly important as library support surfaces.

It has been a long time since I shipped a memory usage fault. Languages that promise to make those impossible are hyped now, but their promoters are "fighting the last war".

What makes the difference today is productivity. C++ is still leading that charge. Hype notwithstanding, more people take up programming C++ professionally in any given week than the total paid to code Rust. Soon, many of those Rust coders will begin to jump ship for newer languages.
I had Macbooks that lasted 5 years (2010-2015) pretty well, my current MBA M1 is almost 2 years old and I don't see myself needing to swap it for another 2-3 at least. My girlfriend still uses her MBA from 2014.

I don't really see how I could justify paying 20-25% of the price of my laptop per year, that I use for much more than just browsing, to have a faster browsing experience. And I'm a power user (SWE, etc.) compared to the mainstream consumer, the market for this product seems to be extremely niche/small.
