I try and have compassion on people. Mr/Ms Faceless Executive doesn't really know what I do, they don't know how any of this actually works. It might as well be magic to them. Every time they deal with me, they get apparently randomly "Yes"s and "No"s and "Maybe But"s.

Are those truly random? Am I slacking off (intentionally or not) by upping the number of Nos? Am I secretly giving more Yes's to a different exec that I like more? They have no idea.

And they have made commitments, to clients, internal or external, to get X done by the end of the quarter etc.

So their only option really is to dig their heels in and try and insist and punish me for all and any "No" they get. If it fails then at least they know that "No" was real. If it succeeds then great. And even if they suspect I am right, they're not rewarded for letting their client down but helping the business as a whole, quite the opposite in fact.

They do have skills, and they are ultimately people trying to get by in a world of uncertainty. They're just not technical. And they're forced to play a game where the worst behavior often wins so it's not necessarily their fault as people when they act badly.

At least those thoughts keep me sane.

I am lucky to have a very good team around me. We all support each other. And the others are much more technically able and detail oriented than I am. So I try to shield them by turning aside the worst of the execs and their craziest demands and try and run interference etc.
Most humans can live deeply fulfilling and joyful lives without causing as much suffering as they do now. They don't need to feel guilty about what they are doing now so much as strive to cause less suffering.

Maybe you must eat factory farmed meat, fine, it's not for me to say. But that's not most people. Most people can do with reducing their meat intake, and it isn't hard. It's not like you are in the wilderness hunting or anything. You just go to the grocery store and buy veggies and beans and stuff.

Furthermore, for some people, eating meat from a factory farm is orders of magnitude more difficult than eating a strict plant based diet. Maybe that's easy for you - not for me.

Finally, while nature may indeed be cruel, we do not need to be.
> one with an uncanny valley meat texture and meat taste.

I mean, honestly, aren’t most cheap burger meat patties in that uncanny valley?

I love meat but eat it rarely. And I like burgers, even the cheap McDonald’s stuff. But burger patties are basically entirely their own texture, which is only loosely related to beef meat.

Now a burger with lightly cooked and well seasoned, real fresh ground beef? It’s a different product altogether. But it’s also less popular and I don’t think it’s what beyond meat tries to replace.

The thing about games is they're almost always GPU limited unless you are chasing after super high framerates. Games consoles were typically the target for games and with the exception of the latest gen stuff, all of them used to have weak CPUs.
Acknowledging that material wealth isn't worth much was liberating, and I'm so glad it happened in my early 20s, people who never get out of this mindset must live miserable lives. You really don't need much to live an happy life, especially in the west and especially with IT salaries, if I could I'd work one day a week and that would suffice to maintain my lifestyle. The needs are easy to meet but the wants are limitless, you'll always feel like you're missing something as long as you don't control your emotions.

You'll never satisfy a need of something that has no limit, being around rich people will show you that. Two houses, three cars, the best schools for their kids, vacations in the best places, they're still miserable and most of them still work as much if not more than employees, if anything they're even more miserable than the average person because they live in fear of losing it all. Once you unlock the next level you discover it's just as empty as the one you came from, some people are too proud to acknowledge that and keep on climbing, they'll be miserable all the way to the grave because you don't cure that by accumulating goods

Take a break, breath in, and ponder on the reasons of your fears/desires. You might very well be sabotaging your well being in a futile quest for wealth, you can't lose the game if you're not playing it.

On top of that I'd say if wealth is your goal the best way to never get to it is to chase it directly. You can go through 20 startups creation, if your sole goal is personal wealth you'll most likely miss the point 20 times

I do not believe that you can, no. This is a very intentional strategy. Google is trying their utmost to be a no-support company. I believe that this must be a core goal for them, accordingly, I don't believe that they will change course. Individual developers, even 10,000 of them, just don't move the needle for Google. They've dominated the platform; heck, they built it, and as long as keystone apps like twitter, google suite, etc. are on the store, people aren't going to move in a hurry.
> You claimed that personal data was a red herring. It is not. Shipping personal data is the worst possible scenario.

Which is exactly what makes it the red herring. Shipping personal data is one of the worst possible scenarios (I'd argue that, in corporate context, shipping data that's subject to export controls is worse, as it could easily get you fired, the company fined, and potentially land someone in jail) - which makes it a perfect distraction from all the other data that's being exfiltrated. "We're not collecting personal data" is the equivalent of putting a "doesn't contain asbestos" label on food packaging.

> We know red meat isn’t healthy

It's worth obfuscating this point. We don't know red meat isn't healthy.

Equally, we also don't know that red meat is healthy.

Without making a case for either side, readers should know that the field of nutrition is incredibly unclear, often times very individualized, and most of what people 'know' are just 'educated guesses'. For every study proving one side of the argument, you can find 10 studies proving the opposite side.

Author here. I think it's a pretty nice idea to include deprecation information in the response headers as another way to keep API integrators informed - alongside written forms of communication like blog posts, changelog entries and emails. We'll discuss that internally.

As @xavdid noted, the reality is that most people won't see these headers, but it's a nice power user feature.
What are the particular pain points for you?

For me - using a similar system (Hasura), it's migrating things dependent on views. Feels like this should be a solved problem (database migration issue, not due to Hasura).

But I still prefer it over writing CRUD.
From David Zilber (formerly of Noma):

"Here’s a pesky little chemical called hexanal. If you’ve ever eaten a beyond burger, or any of these plant based products 2.0 (though to be honest, it’s more like they’re on V.46.6.2) and burped 10 or 15 minutes afterwards, and thought to yourself, “Hmmm, wow, ok I definitely just had a meat alternative” you were probably regurgitating this aerosol. Some people think it’s fruity, like green apple, others like mulched grass. At the lab, we had to walk outside to get wafts of it in its pure form, but the minute I opened the cap I knew exactly what this flavour was…. “OLD FRYER OIL, 100%”. It’s metabolized in all manners of organisms through the oxidation of fatty acids, and is… kind of unpleasant?! The point is that while this molecule exists in fava beans, peas, and soy, (the three kings of texturized vegetable protein) when you have a WHOLE FOOD, its there in harmony among all sorts of other volatile compounds, while also being locked away deep inside the beans fibres. It’s the act of processing that concentrated and heightens the presence of off-flavours like these, making the processed foods made from them taste, well, processed. Good with the bad. You can’t concentrate for protein without concentrating other aspects of a plant. There’s always a cost.
Now, I will always be a huge proponent for whole foods, made with care, prepared simply. But the realities of grocery store shelves dictate a different truth. People opt for convenience, and sometimes, you’ve got to meet them where they are.
My current work at CH has me doggedly hunting down an effect of fermentation I’ve long known intuitively through practice. Certain lactic acid bacteria fermenting their way through legumes don’t just mask, but dismantle this and other problematic molecules. I’m still after the mode of action, but it’s also enough for me to know that age old techniques of fermentation (like soaking ones legumes or grains days in advance of their cooking) can still put to shame the greatest technological “advances” of food science of the past 40 years.
Nature is, after all, cleverer than you are. "

The Zurich Fund website is hosted on godaddy, which is a big warning sign in itself. It's a Wordpress site if you try /wp-admin, unfortunately it has directory listing turned off on /wp-uploads and similar.

Very few professional tech companies would ever host on godaddy. They might self-host, use AWS, azure, google, and similar. But never go with shared hosting!
I don't know much about this particular thing. would be glad to read up on this if you share a good source.
While I kind of agree with you, anecdotally the things people actually do are still slow.

Opening up a large project in IntelliJ or browsing through Reddit is anything but smooth for me, even though I have a pretty recent CPU.
I think you've got it somewhat wrong. People need to agree on something foundational but they don't need to share all of the same views. Basically all that is needed is a starting point from which you can build. I disagree that most people want to be told what to think by authority, the number of people I've met where this is true after further probing is quite small and they generally have other problems that make them averse to educating themselves.

I think the mistake here is that we (as in everyone broadly) have a perception problem. We don't actually know what other people are thinking, we can only judge by the face they present to the world. So there is a public presentation and then private thoughts behind that. This results in a prisoner's dilemma situation where the safest option is to defect to the side of whoever the perceived authority is since that is the only obvious signal. That defection is not a change of heart though, it's just going along to get along. Once a better option presents itself that aligns with the internal beliefs that are still held firmly, the individual will switch.

From the outside this looks like a strongly imposed shared narrative is being effective at uniting people but what's actually happening is that you're simply cowing everyone into keeping their head down while resentment and discontent simmer under the surface. Just look at what's happening in China right now or Iran, seemingly out of no where you have protests and civil unrest. It's the same for any tightly controlled society, things appear ok until suddenly they aren't. Widespread disagreement and argument are actually signs of a healthy society where people feel free to speak their minds.

Global Yield Curve Inverts in Signal a Recession Is Brewing
“Global Yield Curve Inverts in Signal a Recession Is Brewing…. Global bonds joined US peers in signaling a recession, with a gauge measuring the worldwide yield curve inverting for the first time in at least two decades.

“The average yield on sovereign debt maturing in 10 years or more has fallen below that of securities due in one-to-three years… That has never happened before based on data going back to the beginning of the millennium.

“The inversion of the yield curve is typically seen to herald a recession, as investors switch money to longer-term bonds due to pessimism over the economic outlook. Those fears are growing as policymakers around the world pledge further monetary tightening to tame rising consumer prices.

““Central bankers paralyzed by inflation fears will keep cash rates anchored in the restrictive zone for longer,” said Prashant Newnaha, a rates strategist at TD Securities Inc. in Singapore.”
We are using a domain name, but customer firewalls use fixed ip addresses.
Short answer, is nope.. About 20 years ago, I had a /24, but no ISP I've ever had would let me use it.. Even if I paid the insane price for "public static ip" they'd not let me use addresses from my own block.

You more or less need to be an ISP to do it.
Don't worry, somebody still has to design all the database tables/relations, views, triggers, etc. Which means we all become better database developers, which is a very good thing.

Also, these tools can't handle certain back end logic (ie, API interactions and integrations, long running processes, etc). Which is the complex bit, anyways.
It's very rational how many individuals are rejecting these trashy products.
>Going by the stories I’ve heard from my dad and uncles, they all had lots of male friends and drinking buddies, guys they knew from the union, the bowling league, the VFW, the Lions Club, etc. All those institutions that have either completely collapsed or become irrelevant for young people in America.

None of those friends and support groups would be "close" friends per TFA's definition because they weren't acting in the quasi-therapist role that the author apparently thinks is required of "close" friends. Yet clearly those relationships filled the need.
If your site/app is not latency sensitive, then hosting this way can be better than the straight VPS.

Maybe you need better resources than a cheap VPS can offer, i.e. an experimental app that likes a chunk of RAM and IO so won't be happy on an oversold & contended host, but doesn't need low latency or massive bandwidth¹ so is happy with the connectivity found on such a cheap service.

Another consideration is that if the VPS host dies and you are just using it as a proxy/tunnel, all you need to do is sign up for another, change DNS pointers and perhaps VPN config, and you are back up and running: no extra app/stack configuration needed, no need to restore content from backups⁴ to the new location, ete., so time+faf to service restoration is short.

----

[1] It doesn't apply to all locations, as some are lucky to be in places where there has been sufficient infrastructure investment for FTTP to be inexpensively available, but for a lot of people a key limit to self-hosting is an asynchronous link: I know many with 1.4mbit or noticeably less upstream from home, the best I can reliably get here² is ~14mbit³ upstream. Most VPS providers that aren't ridiculously oversold can give you that, so their network would not be the outgoing connectivity bottleneck.

[2] York, UK, not far from the city centre. FTTP is available in parts of the city and outskirts, but rollout is glacial so won't be near me any time soon

[3] g.fast is available from the exchange/cab I'm connected through, but it is hit-and-miss and there is a risk I'll get less out of the nominally 150/30 standard than I do out of the 80/20 one.

You are technically correct. However...

The complexity of digestion rivals that of cryptography. And the same caveats apply.

Ultraprocessed foods, let's say a [plant] burger, are the food equivalent of "roll your own crypto".

Less processing = fewer things we break without knowing we broke them. I'm in no way actually arguing against cooking.

This would take a fair bit of time and space to explain in general, but if you have specific questions I'll do my best to address them.
Self-improvement is great, but also be aware that this is a systemic issue. A great many men (and possibly women?) today feel the same way:

Another solution you can consider I think is to create a proxy server in a hosting/cloud provider. All your customer will point to the IP of the proxy and then your proxy finds your original server by host name (DNS).

We do have a solution like this for chinese customers, using stunnel and tinyproxy. However, it adds quite a bit of complexity to the customer side config which I would like to circumvent if possible.

Also, this is in an industrial setting, so a random machine in a factory would also not be allowed to use port 443 normally.
What advantage does that have compared to simple bracket highlighting and indentation? Editors can easily highlight mismatched parentheses, they are however rarely smart enough to auto-close XML tag pairs. I just see it as unnecessary clutter.

Show HN: A minimal notepad – without the cloud or 3rd party libs
I made this tiny notepad website, to write things down in your browser.

The Features

- Just saves to your browser's localstorage (no cloud or login)
- Export to TXT file
- Formatting keyboard shortcuts
- Works offline
- Super fast

The Tech

- Single HTML file
- 20 lines of JS + service worker (for offline usage)
- Using pure CSS for modals
- Github pages hosting
- Basically it's just a "contenteditable div" with some extra features
- Source -> https://github.com/benwinding/localnotes.page

It's been done before, but I couldn't find a version I liked, that worked offline too. Which is why I just hacked this little thing together. Plus it's fun to make things.

This taught me about offline websites, css hacks to make dialogs, inline favicons, and hacking together a prototype without 500mb of "node_modules".

Anyway, hope someone finds this useful too!
I still writes very banal poetry though.
I gave it the first 3 lines of a T.S.Eliot poem and it spits out very cliched, trivial poetry.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through half-forgotten doorways,
To places we have never been before.
Let us explore the unknown, and find our way
To a place of peace and joy, and never stray.
Let us find a place of solace, and stay
Where we can be ourselves, and never fear.
Let us find a place of comfort, and share
The love that we have found, and never part.
Let us find a place of beauty, and bask
In the warmth of the sun, and never ask.
Let us find a place of harmony, and sing
The songs of our hearts, and never tire.
Let us find a place of contentment, and be
Forever happy, and never leave.

This is far from what I'd call "poor man's" thing.

I'd want to host it for free, so Vercel and Netlify comes to my mind. But to go real poor man style, I'd use Google sheets as a backend and throw some caching layer on top of it. Firebase or one of its competitors is also a good idea to get some API up and running for free.
Would def want to see some of those! I've been doing TVP and beef stock as my backup meal for years and it's amazingly good for the price. 500g for like €3 that'll last absolutely ages coupled with one of those stock cup things (think they're like 4 for 90 cent now).

I know a guy who was promoting frutarian lifestyle. He was a previous world champion kayaker and works in the outdoor industry. I saw him recently and he was still in the top 15-20 in the world in his even. I need to check with him if he's still doing it. He looks like a model, superfit and full of energy. He had an interesting blog on the amount of fruit he was having to eat, most of which he picked up for free or cheap at markets as it was approaching use by date.
