Since the inception of my wine world earlier this year, I have been on a mission to create the world's "best" wine E-newsletter.

However, lately, I have been questioning the meaning behind this statement.

What is at the heart of it all, truly, like truly, truly?

I have been pondering this whilst running, playing golf (badly), walking and even star gazing in my nearby forest where the answer struck me like the acidity in a cheap Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc.

Inspiration under the stars

And the answer:

Being helpful

That has been the underlying essence of my content from the very beginning.

It’s precisely why my TikTok videos have had millions of views.

It’s precisely why I have received a number of kind comments like this one on Saturday:

I’ve been breaking down a vast subject and making it easier to digest in my own unique way.

And, yes I’m blowing my own trumpet but sometimes the trumpet needs to be blown.

So my goal for the E-newsletter is simple:

To be an invaluable source of help through the provision of tips, advice, recommendations and deals.

Is it the case that "rewrites fail" only applies when you have an active available system with state though? I don't know that I've ever seen this disclaimer before.

I'm very curious if this is the biggest reason behind why people advocate for Joel Spolsky-style "never re-write it" approach. Because I would very much like to do a start from scratch on my own codebase, and it doesn't have any of those availability limitations. But I still haven't been able to make space to do it without stopping the world because we have customers who are currently using the code who expect new features and support.

Are we saying that the balance only tips towards "don't rewrite it" when your code runs an always available service though? If your code is merely a product that works on a release schedule, is it now ok to splinter off a Project Phoenix team to make the new hotness? Very curious what people's experience is.
> One thing very much any sensible investor asks is: "How easy someone can steal your lunch?"

And that's the problem, asking investors for their opinion. Look, I'm a capitalist as much as the next person but you don't start a company based on highly liberal ideals and then expect nothing to change after bringing on outside investors. If you want your non-traditional business model to succeed, don't hand over your vision to someone else. They will demand that you switch your business model to something that feels "safer" to them, and you lose the main thing that differentiates you from your competitors.

> With an open source product, it's like putting lunch on a table at a busy high street and leaving it unattended.

No, that's not a good analogy. It's like putting lunch on a table at a busy high street and _inviting people to help themselves_. With the hope (not necessarily expectation) of forming a relationship that will benefit everyone in the future.

Even that was a little awkward but more concretely, here's an example of Adafruit's business model. They sell hardware, at prices generally higher than what you'd find for the Chinese clones of their products on Amazon and eBay (not to mention AliExp).

But what sets them apart from the clones is they write great documentation, tutorials, and articles. They produce educational videos and show-and-tells. They highlight customer projects showing all of the neat things people are doing with their hardware. They pay people to write open-source libraries for a variety of microcontrollers and devices that they sell, so that people can use them easily. They host forums, they are active on social media, they speak at conferences.

An open source-business only succeeds when you build a vibrant community around it. If you can't do that, then yes, the Chinese cloners are going to eat your lunch.
That sounds like a good usecase for micropython. In any event, I disagree; microcontrollers are easier to use than having to admin an entire GNU/Linux box just to twiddle some pins.
"In this regard the skepticism in the article is deeply flawed: the materials mined for EV batteries will most likely provide economical value and offset CO2 emissions for decades after the life of the vehicle."

The article addresses this exact issue in the executive summary and then later on in detail.

"No one knows how much, if at all, CO2 emissions will decline as EV use rises. Every claim for EVs reducing emissions is a rough estimate or an outright guess based on averages, approximations, or aspirations."

Meaning he believes he did nothing wrong and he's the target of "character assassination" by the Daily but he's being forced out by colleagues who want Harvard to come out of this scandal with half a shred of dignity. This is not him saying "aww, you got me, aight I'm out". This is him continuing to be a narcissistic, shitty human being refusing to admit that he could possibly be in the wrong in any way.

Good writing on the problems, I think it is just missing the "what is the right approach then?"
Approach that I've seen working is the divide and conquer: It's similar to the new system next to the old (greenfield) but incrementally (avoiding the monolith substitute). Get a manageable slice of the business and develop a substitute system for that slice, old system continues to live and evolve (as needed) while you evolve the new system incrementally (getting bigger slices from the business/process).
Admission for the children of faculty and staff (esp. if tuition is waived) is such an incredible benefit for the people that work at these institutions that I hope that is not also being abandoned.

There's a huge difference between systems that are business process heavy vs. simple straight-forward tasks that need a special touch to get right. An accounting system that's got hundreds of thousands of interacting rules conditions will be maintained and reworked in a very different way from an email server that sends out millions of mails a day. To just wave a hand of treating "systems" as a singular thing, the general advice just simply falls apart.

According to one of my finance professors in university, it's somewhat tough to actually get convicted for insider trading, and there are certain circles where everyone does it.

The people who do get convicted are usually those who were being particularly egregious or who pissed someone off enough to rat them out. For example, Martha Stewart got convicted because her assistant (whom she regularly called a "little shit") decided to testify against her.
Asus pn50, awesome mini PC. Its also very silent, small, and looks good, so I keep it in the living room, running all the time.

External drive, 18 TB

hosts bunch of web services 24/7 - calibre, jelyfin, qbittorent, hfs web server to host files, tailscale vpn etc. The 4k projector, TV, and HiFi are connected to it. I can even do programming on it from the sofa when I feel like it.

great for surfing the web, hording, media and even games.

basically 0 maintenance

I hate dedicated stuff like synology, and non-applications they provide - its too much work and configuration, too expensive too and they feel toyish. I prefer OTB full OS (Windows 10 in my case) with normal tools (for example foobar player, vscode editor, doublecmd file manager, mvp video player, normal package manager) and easy to use and replace stuff. For example, I use another external drive for periodic backups, with custom powershell scripts that do incremental backups and verify them, disconnected all the time until backup should be done (to protect from viruses and surges). I can take backup drive with me for offline consumption of all the data, or access my network via VPN (you definitelly need offline access to your data as internet connection may suck when you are not at home)

> I can make modified bot browser that commits ad fraud as long as I don't use a rooted Android phone?

Yeah, this just incentivizes spammers to copy the parts of Chromium that do the attestation (or whatever browser has source available), and use that to pretend they're Chromium. There will always be workarounds. This seems to kill innovation and allow spammers to flourish.

I suppose I can understand an argument that they want to prevent scraping, but this is absolutely not going to stop that.

My first thought in reading this is that it guts PostgreSQL and similar projects, and proprietary vendors like Oracle will make bank.

No, it's not at all like this. Bikes are so ubiquitous here that before given this bike in for repair, the people would already have secured (likely already had) a spare bike for the duration of the repairs.

And no, it's not theft, this is how bankruptcy works. All assets and _anything on the property_ is frozen, until creditors sort through it all. There's nothing illegal or dodgy going on, it's just that some people had the misfortune to have their bikes on the bankrupt companies property.

What you're talking about is the fact that Erlang as a VM is well built. That is irrelevant to whether or not supervisory trees are equivalent to what an OS provides.

> No operating system comes close to delivering that kind of reliability.

Erlang runs on an OS though. Like, Erlang would inherently always be limited by the reliability of the underlying system and in fact relies entirely on it for preemption.

> (one with which I strongly identify so forgive me the soapbox mode)

For the record, I am an extreme fan of Joe's and I routinely re-read his thesis, so you are preaching to the choir in a way.

> This is a completely different kettle of fish than stringing together a bunch of services using kernel or auxiliary mechanisms, both in terms of results and in terms of overhead.

I just totally disagree and in fact you'll find that Erlang's seminal works used the term 'processes' and in fact is based on the entire model of OS processes. Off the top of my head he cites at least two papers about processes and transactions as the foundation for reliability in his thesis.
Look, I don't mind at all when I get a cold email that is thoughtful and well targeted. But LLM written emails are very obvious, and irritate me to no end because I feel like this is the future of marketing – endless waves of automatically written spam, generative voice phone calls, and who knows what else

I think LLMs have a huge potential for changing the way we work, and creating hybrid human/AI interfaces where the AI does the boring parts and the human becomes more productive as a result – but with these agent systems it feels you're aiming to completely replace the human and instead go for quantity over quality

At Salesforce and Experian I worked with some exceptional sales people, who would be very likeable and turn a cold email into a $1m/yr contract. These people would be very smart and leverage their network, background and expertise. Maybe AI can completely replace them one day, but in the meantime I think the real money in this area is building tools that one of these professionals can use to 2x, 3x, 10x their workflow.
Yeah, it would be sad for Harvard to get unaffordable.
I haven't looked deep into that offer, but I spent some time thinking about other appliances and switching from ownership to renting.

Ecological it's quite interesting: Currently people run inefficient appliances which are decades old till they fall apart and the appliance can't be recycled.

If we would transition to a model where they are rented "all inclusive" the vendor might have a very different motivation to make sure people got a modern device and it's built in a way that as many parts as possible can be reused.

75/month seems high for vacuum though.
So Google was using the blocklists as a signal of site quality?

Seems the problem's not the blocking itself then, and the whole feature didn't need to be removed, just its use as a metric.
QML wins with bindings and signal and slots! (In this example the the text property of the Text componenet is binded to count, so whenever count changes the text changes).

```

property int count: 0

Button { onClicked: { count--; } }

Text { text: count.toString(); }

Button { onClicked: { count--; } }

Button { onClicked: { incrementLater.start(); } }

Timer { id:incrementLater interval: 1000 onTriggered: { count++; } }

```

Better in so many ways.

This is just an excuse for ignorance and the annoying habit people have of repeating something they heard but don't understand.

I think it's right to correct it because when people misuse this phrase, it isn't gaining a new meaning--it's making it meaningless. Why apples? The comparison to apples adds no information or nuance.

Like when there's a story about police corruption, and someone says "they're just a few bad apples, not all cops are bad." Again, why compare them to apples? Why not just say a few bad cops?

This isn't words/phrases changing meaning, it's losing meaning.
It does not matter how much I trust someone, or how relaxed I am, or indeed how much I enjoy myself with someone, being around people still drains me of energy. There are differences in how fast, but not whether or not it drains me.
Our team has recently found an open-source sales management CRM tool, Meow https://www.sales-funnel.app/, which they are happy with. Licensed under AGPL, it might be worth a look for startups.

I guess there are definite reasons why open-source isn't as successful in the CRM space. Buyers are mostly not developers and the requirements for a CRM are often very diverse. I agree with earlier comments, Salesforce is not just a CRM.
Just to add to @currymj's response, sticky stuff won't help a Little League pitcher. There is a level of velocity and control you need that no 12 year old could muster.
Unfortunately scientists are often rewarded/celebrated for research that finds groundbreaking or new results as opposed to results which are actually true but less interesting. This incentive is very difficult to resist.
The article from Nature yesterday came up with 26% of the peer reviewed published papers they examined (all RCT) were untrustworthy based on close examination of their data. They could only invalidate 2% without data.

I personally believe this is an underestimate.

Did this once. Took 5 years (old system was still available, we swapped out various parts over time, etc, etc).

Rewrite/relaunch did increase revenue a lot, but not enough to justify the 5 year investment of R&D. Pain.
This is the important and troubling point. Everyone trumpets science as a model of a rational, self-correcting social enterprise. But we see time and time again that it takes non-scientists to blow the whistle and call foul and gin up enough outside attention before something gets done to make the correction. That puts the lie to the notion of self-correction.

I have never heard that phrase, it has always been that the few spoils the whole.

There’s no shortage of people who meet any of that criteria!

The whole point of a selective college is they have to select from a pool of already qualified applicants. There is no objective measure to measure against when you’re splitting hairs. Even were you to limit it to “objective” requirements like test score and GPA, how do you decide between two students for one spot when both have the exact same scores?

There is no shortage of perfect scores applying to Harvard. And yet a majority, or even a plurality, of any given class of admits didn’t have perfect scores.
If thay were true, you could also buy a 500€ beater car if you can afford your own car... But i don't see that happening either.

Living in the next town over from amsterdam: many people use ebikes for a 20km journey between towns, both ways.

Alternatives?
- Cycling 3 hours a day on your 100€ used rusty bike
- tucking your two year old in your backpack while bringing it to the daycare (we put them on purpose-built kids seats byt that connector is stuck on the vanMoof)
- +-200€ a month of public transport cost (excl kids)
- 7,50 a day on top of public transport for a bike ticket (if i also need my bike in the other town and don't have 3 hours a day extra to cycle) (oh and you're not allowed during rush hour)

If i would depend on a bike, it would be a massive inconvenience to not have it at best, and would be crippling for my day to day at worst.

I think if you use the model presented by the author of the article, it's less than you need to "recharge" but rather that after a few days you've filled your small group and large group bucket/quota, and now you need to fill that solitude bucket/quota.

It's just two different ways of describing the same phenomenon. I like the authors because it's much more multi-faceted and easier to find practical applications, at least in my mind. "I enjoy a good amount of solitude, and I've just spent several days socializing, so I'm going to prioritize alone time for the next few days" rather than "I need to recharge so I can be social again." It's similar, but I like the first one better.
