A big fact of the entrepreneur world is that it is hugely based on luck. Luck of finding the right idea, the right market, the right timing, the right connections, the right customers, the right employees, the right financing. The basic fact is that most startups and most entrepreneurial dreams fail or get consumed by another for their talent/clients. And as an entrepreneur you fight against all odds. Most will fail and you have to be ok with that for yourself. Even how many times you try. It is ok, it does not make you a failure because you tried. It makes you a brave and daring person you tried.

It does not help that the media only celebrates the few lucky ones, and because they were lucky they will propagate all their steps of wonderful execution, but overlooking the fact that they were just with the right timing, market & people. That it was pure luck.

There are more journeys in life to be happy than being an entrepreneur. There are more paths towards personal fulfilment.
The thing is you are not the minority. Those who are successful are a very small minority who just had the stars aligned at the right moment at the right moment with some luck. When you consider it, those promoters are selling you picks and shovels so that you can find your gold. But similar to the gold rush, we know that very small amount of people actually found gold and from those who found it, a smaller amount was able to sustain that.

I'm sorry that your enterprises have failed but this doesn't surprise me. I'm happy that you changed your direction (imho, it's not giving up) to something different. It's very hard to find the point where you let it go while success seems such a very short distance away like you can reach your hand and grab it. But it's so frustrating that even if you are approaching your goal, you can't just close the distance and it's still far away.

There will be people who will label you as a "loser" as you "gave up on your dreams", but you are not actually. You are just one of millions of people who were trying to make it but didn't. I doesn't matter if your idea was great or not, if your execution was perfect or not, if your audience was willing to pay or not, if the time was right or not, sometimes it just doesn't work. And it's still OK.

Best of luck to you.
> It's okay to admit defeat and move on to something else.

It is better to have tried and failed than not having tried at all.

I live the comfortable life of a decently paid employee, but I always wonder what could have been had I chosen a different path.

Good luck with whatever and wherever your life takes you next!
Do you prefer a self hosted OSS feature management service, or a SaaS ?
I thought the same. Amusingly, the poster’s other comment is written in a much different style, so it looks like our detectors are well-calibrated.
That's shifting the goal posts quite significantly. HTML is machine-readable because it's less powerful than a drawing API. There's a lot of applications that can't be created with plain HTML.
My company (5b a year annual revenue so not small) stops you from changing your password within 2 days of changing it previously to stop that.

I wonder why people moved away from a (local) KeePass database that is optionally synced through GDrive, OneDrive or NextCloud between their devices. That works perfectly fine and relies only on your KeePass master PW strength, not on some 3rd parties' security

I'm pretty sure that in EU the limit is for the actual current weight, that you can get a huge ticket for an overweight vehicle and that the police use mobile and fixed vehicle scales to enforce that (I specifically remember Austria doing that a lot)

I read an article about it in Czech a while ago, so I don't have a link at hand, but you should be able to find it easily.
All those rich celebrities are not afraid of China per se, or any other rich totalitarian regime (the World Cup in Qatar comes to mind), they are just too corrupt to care about anything else then their huge pay checks. The same for companies so.

Makes sense, if you think about it. because it is just peak capitalism, unchecked by anything else then the need for money (the best approximation for power the west has).
It is true. influencers show the highlights of their journeys mostly. while at the same time if they were doing so well, they wouldn't be needing to sell a course teaching you how.

don't be so hard on yourself. sadly the market is rational when mature, and a lot of social media driven ideas have already hit that stage of low alpha.
That's a good question, and I provided scant few hints towards it in my original post.

There are a few layers in which the order of certain things matter -- basically, any chaotic system arising from the choices made in training neural networks. We oftentimes just randomly choose an answer as that's a "best guess", but in pushing the territory of world records, something more principled is in order.

Weight initialization is one, and what data we show to the network when is another. Each choice at any point influences every single choice that comes after it, so even if it was quantized into discrete decision bins (which it can be for both of those, I believe -- even the weight initialization if you're a lottery ticket hypothesis fan. I cringe in saying that though as that phrase can summon an interesting mix of people.) In that sense, calculating which order of operations/order of values is ideal is I believe an NP-hard problem by definition, and not too much weirdness if we're looking at the discrete case(s) I think.

Maybe solving that up front from a structure perspective is untenable, but if we're able to crack some of the mystery of the solution manifold and turn that into portable priors for architectures like this, then I think that opens the door to connecting things to a more universal, pure mathematical solution. And then that ends up unpacking nicely in other problem domains even if we maybe don't know up front which priors work well for that particular subdomain. If we have some sort of mathematically-connected rule, we can be more sure about it.

That's a loose form of a general workflow I follow, it's a bit more of a crapshoot though where any discrete chaotic processes are involved, unfortunately.

Hope that helps answer some of the question, there's definitely other layers to be had, though. Which means job security for a lot of people for a long time to come, I personally think. :D :))))
Your assertion that you need a "system" to remember multiple passwords is simply false. In fact, I generate passwords with a random generator I wrote in python, just like any software "solution".

You did touch on one of my secrets, I don't maintain hundreds of superfluous "accounts". I'm not going to count them, but I suspect I'm at around 30. If I don't log into a service for a long time then I just go ahead and transition that to "never" in which case it doesn't matter if I remember the password or not since it's clear I don't need that account anyway.

I also use unique logins and emails with each service which I guess is even more to remember.

For throwaway accounts and things that really don't matter I use an easier to guess (and crack) leetspeak pw and/or a post-it note.

I suspect people who are not techies have even fewer accounts to remember so this may actually work for many (though I agree, not all) of them. Probably more than you give credit. In fact I assume that most non-techies are simply keeping credentials in their memory in which case the best advice is probably just to remind them to use unique ones, at least for their email and their bank...

I've also worked help desk and no one ever called to report that everything was hunky dory.

Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to address the issue rather than just leaving another drive-by downvote.
Okta cyberattacks could lead to supply-chain breach ‘worse than SolarWinds’
It must be the time of the year that makes people reflect and change the trajectory of their efforts in the year to come. I'm there with you. Most people say don't call it a failure, you didn't fail, despite it feeling like that. Everything you have done has gotten you to this point in your life, for some of that you have to be grateful, you have to look at the good things in your life and say, if it were not for this journey I would not have these things in my life. The experiences matter, the journey matters and the outcomes along the way are not as binary as you'd think. In your eyes you've failed to build a successful company, but if you reframe that by changing your expectations then you'll see how much you've grown, how much you've changed and that without trying to build these things you may have lived a life of regret, a lesser life.

Head up, chin up. Take some time to breathe and reflect, but don't let it consume you. The best years of your life are still ahead of you. The journey isn't over. Maybe it's not the entrepreneurial journey you want, but it could be something else that lets you embody that other ideas, people and places.

>a real one could too, see Samsung

With a real battery from someone like Samsung i know who I can hold accountable and sue for damages when that happens. Especially since Samsung has a legal entity in my country. But good luck doing anything with Lucky Star Battery LLC China.

>There are however, and always have been, reputable third party companies that make replacement batteries

Which are the ones that make reputable phone batteries?

I saw a YouTuber buy half a dozen iphone 6 batteries off the internet and all were found to be fake or original refurbished with significant wear.
> Can you give concrete examples of who the CIA would want to jail or not? Why do CIA employees lose when regular Joes gain and regular Joes gain when CIA employees lose?

What I mean is they're a lot more likely to be entangled with everyday life. Just a lot more chance to get mixed up with a senator who can send more budget their way, or even a local sheriff who asked too many questions about the permitting for something they were building, or hell, one of the guys who bullied the agent at school. The amount of people who can meaningfully influence something a PRC agent cares about is likely to be smaller, just because there's so much more domestic politics than international politics.
Sorry to hear that. How long were you trying for? A lot of these guys were at it for years and years before they found success. It can be brutal in the beginning.

I think it's unfair to characterise the "digital nomad influencers" on Twitter as making it seem easy. I know a few of them personally and they work incredibly hard. You can tell by the speed at which they ship new products. They work a lot.

That said, building a Twitter audience of indie hacker types is massively overrated. It's a huge amount of work and the space is utterly saturated. These people generally don't buy stuff and if you try a lot of different ideas then the chances are that many of them are not in your target market.
> This capitalism you're talking about is an imaginary construction. It never existed, never will.

I hope you understand that we are referring to models there, right? Your point that you can't discuss ideas because model is not reality is ridiculous - with that philosophy we would never had any engineering done. It's like arguing with someone who said "I have wooden house" with an argument "No mate, your door handles are metal".

> You know very well what people refer to as capitalism, the one that exist in reality.

And that is exactly what I'm fighting against - total confusion, calling capitalism system where Tax Freedom Day is in August (talking about some European countries) - you want to blame capitalism where there system is far from the idea of capitalism. Like I explained before: you disassemble wheels from a car and wonder why it is not working - here, you are removing the very reason why capitalism works (by restraining economic freedom, expanding welfare) and you are surprised that it isn't working.

> Grow up.

I was just referring to your comment about things being obvious where you have clearly some problems explaining your thoughts.
Because there's no need?
There the 'epsilon' no-op GC in OpenJDK: https://openjdk.org/jeps/318

If you keep your object allocation in check you can use this to guarantee no GC pauses.
> What does that even mean ?

So in 2021 solar construction costs averaged $2.94/W for residential and $0.77/W for utility scale solar. https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/how-does-utility-scale-sol...

So if you installed a 10kW residential system it might cost $29,400 which would make you eligible for a 30% federal tax credit at a cost to the government of $8,820.

However if the government instead spent that $8,820 on utility scale solar it could pay outright for the construction of 11.5kW of solar generation capacity.

> I have a ton of sunlight all throughout the year (almost). What do I do to harness it ?

So as an individual it might make sense for you to take advantage of the government subsidy and have them help pay for a residential system for you! It just makes no sense at a societal level to spend money on small expensive systems when we could instead be spending it on large cheap systems.
Yep it's that hard. I respect your decision. Go do something else. Find yourself again. Replenish. Find a new life direction.
I type my arbitrary 12 character password for my laptop as quickly as I’d type two 6 letter common words, due to muscle memory, as I don’t have to change it every few months.
Just as the incorrect proof by the amateur mathematician or crank is likely to be in a predictable form - a bunch of drawings of graphs with increasingly obtuse notation, reference to special cases within special cases, etc., isn't the incorrect proof by working combinatorialists likely to look exactly like this paper? An argument from complex analysis relating to either generating functions, Tutte polynomials, or some similar concept, together with some difficult arguments about how the asymptotics should be correctly used?

The fact that this includes arguments which casual practitioners would not be able to confidently use in a crank proof does not evidence its correctness. It just shows us that it's from a different type of person, susceptible to making a different type of error.
Haha, youre welcome. Hope you put the sprites to good use!
In the value no, in the condition code registers status, there may be differences.
Beat me to this answer ;) - I presume you can just allocate objects but you have to keep those allocations in check to prevent the JVM from terminating when going out of memory.

Maybe object pooling (which helped performance in old JVM's in the 90s) will make a comeback? ;)
State of the Sanderson 2022
I used to spend time on indiehackers and it's lousy with those types. Anyone selling 1) a course 2) a newsletter or 3) a community is a charlatan in my eyes.

Maybe an unfair view but those are the "get rich quick with no effort" ideas that these people are into.
I'm sorry you didn't find the success you were looking for as an entrepreneur. I've been there, burned out and desperate, and it's a horrible way to feel. But at least you did try and if you take the time you need to heal, you'll have energy to do sonagain in the future.

Maybe it won't be entrepreneurship, however. The world is huge and there's an unlimited number of ways to define success besides creating a successful business.

Mental and physical health and good social connections are one such way. If you can find your way back to those and recognize that as the success you need, at this time, then I for one will be applauding you.

Once you've climbed that mountain another purpose will find it's way to you.

On a personal note, I think the world would be a better place if less people defined success as personal wealth and power, and more defined it as improving the society around them. When you have energy to be active in the world again, maybe you could try looking at it that way instead?

What kind of service can you, and your skills, best give to this world and its people, animals, and environment?

Yes, but then you are downloading and running executables that contain the GC.
The Dutch bicycle road network is completely separate from the car/truck/motorcycle one and cars physically can’t travel on them.
I've always worked for a big corporates. The teams are large and infrastructure support is good. We produce apps with specialists for databases, networking, front end back end, middleware, tools, business analysts, project managers, HR etc etc. And we dont even have to worry about marketing or advertising or search optimisation. I realize corporates have overhead but dont know how one entrepreneur can do significant by themselves.
Last year, I have to explain what is Kubernetes to my brother.
I am with you, but There are ways to mitigate that, one is to make a script that check the URL output for this particular case, another way is to instruct the bot to translate user input to queries and then check whether they can run or not. But yeah, using those bots without constant human supervision seem like a terrible practice
Props for getting that laid out here and you are in the right now by focusing on what matters, i.e. your health. FWIW, granted it's worth anything, I feel like everything you describe here (a.k.a. ProductHunt, Substack, etc) are byproducts of success but not a good ramp to success itself. Granted that you genuinely enjoy building stuff from scratch (which, without saying, is totally fine if not), those are the least of your concern when roaming the road to PMF. And you'll have better luck at finding it by becoming an authentic expert in a specific niche and building a shitty MVP along the way, which is a much more enjoyable journey.

So I guess what I'm trying to say here is that, all these parts of entrepreneurship that you didn't like, they were actually just distractions posturing themselves as Entrepreneurship™ and their shilling was probably the product of other entrepreneurs. Take care and remember that failure is a byproduct of trying and there's absolutely no shame in that.
> Don’t Swedes just rent them out on the black market instead?

They do (with obvious drawbacks of anything illegal). And the black market prices are awfully high.
I have 0 expertise in phone battery replacements. All I am saying is there is a market for these things once the specs are open and user can choose themselfs.
I tried 10 years building numerous projects since 17 until i reached the $1mil one. I did it because I loved building stuff, it wasn't a burden for me like i see it's for so many people that want to become entrepreneurs because they see on Tiktok how good others have it.

If it becomes a burden, then it's a problem.

Also, luck may play a big role, but there's something you learn failing over and over again. You start to see what it's actually working and what path is closer to success. Patterns will emerge. You know that saying that sometimes you do your own luck.

The easiest path to success for a SaaS is getting a feature of a big product into a standalone specialized product and going after that niche. This simple thing so many indie hackers fail to realize, many try to build the next unicorn, the unique idea. If you keep trying like this, you'll likely fail 50 more times.
It's not defeat, it is the expected outcome. Out of 20 or so of my projects two have been break-out successes and the rest (commercially) complete failures, and I'm very lucky to have two out of those 20, with very small variations in timing it would have been a big fat zero. So don't beat yourself up about it, some people win the lottery and the majority don't. There is absolutely no recipe that will work every time, not even one that will work most of the time or a significant fraction of the times you try to apply it. Luck, luck, luck and timing.

One problem is not just the influencers peddling their books and their bullshit, it's also the eco-system that sells the dream itself. This site is part of that and you should take the success stories with a large grain of salt, usually things are not as easy as they are made out to be and for every success there are 100 failures. And those are rarely talked about.

Best of luck with the recovery, I can see it weighs heavily on you.
Your operating system's package manager is the one going to do that.
> Sure, hence why I used the word 'Evolved'. Not all IRC networks did , but it became common place. I'm not sure what your point is here unless you're arguing Mastodon should just toss away the evolution of discussion.

My point is that Mastodon has a global first-class concept of identity, which is quite a big difference from IRC.

> Yes? That was the job of the server admin? It's like you weren't around when IRC servers were starting pissing contests between the two. The freenode drama wasn't even very long ago but this kind of stuff goes way back.

> See above. I've been in plenty of IRC drama where prominent users were told to go back to servers or kicked off.

I saw plenty of spats and petty drama on IRC, sure. At the channel level it usually ended up with someone making a new channel, since you don't need any skill or privileges to do that. At the network level, maybe a network splits (as freenode did), maybe some individuals get banned, but I absolutely never heard of users who were otherwise well-behaved on network X getting banned just because they happened to also chat on network Y (and given the lack of global accounts, how would you even tell?)
I'm going to try and prevent heap allocation in runtime. But since I'm going to use javac it's going to be ugly.

Basically only static atomic arrays (int/float) in classes will be allowed, for cache and parallelism, and AoS up to 64 bytes encouraged to avoid parallel cache invalidation.

And I'm even considering dropping float, and only have integer fixed point... but then I'll need to convert those in shaders as GPUs are hardcoded to float.
