Frontend-backend separation isn't arbitrary at all. A few things that are often different between FE and BE:

1. Written in different languages.

2. Completely different deployment paths.

3. Causing completely different ways of scaling.

4. Focus on UI and UX is a very different mindset, with often some people preferring it to be a focus of their work, or not.
No u have to do a bank transfer -in cash here means literally in cash...
> You are not a monopoly on your own platform, especially if that platform doesn't even have the majority of the relevant market.

iPhone has a market share of almost 70% in Japan, the location of the plaintiff. iPhone also has a market share of over 50% now in the United States, by the way.

> A company makes a platform or product so that they dictate the terms and if it's a marketplace, what and how it accepts to sell in it.

Historical revisionism. For more than 30 years prior to iOS, general-purpose computing platforms were mostly open with no vendor-controlled store.
That introduces a 3rd party to the transaction.
Lawnmower, motorcycle, four wheeler, tractor, excavator, specialty tools, toolboxes, computers, phones, safes, firearms are some big ticket things I and those around me have paid for in cash, all used.
As in why would anyone want those devices in the first place?
What does that have to do with this thread? The OP isn't buying a prebuilt house. Probably because they're not good houses.
Absolutely not, it simply means the payment must be done via the banking system. Electronic = mostly traceable.

I believe in this case, cash refers to physical bills, not how it's normally used in conversation (at least in the UK) to mean buying without a mortgage (via bank transfer).
It is. My point is that it being "normal" doesn't suggest that it's fine.
Several years ago the city of Phoenix released plans for a net zero single family home: https://www.phoenix.gov/sustainability/home

You do have to provide some basic info to get them but I can confirm that they're a full set of plans.

Are you sure that the statistics you looked into take into account number of vehicle on the road and miles/minutes traveled for each category?

Smaller bikes/scooters (you can drive them with a car license in my country if they are under 50cc) have a max top speed of 50km/h (31mph).

On the other hand, one of the most popular motorcycles (Yamaha MT-07) does 0-100km/h (0-60 mph) in under 4 seconds and can reach speeds of over 130 miles per hour. There is a lot that can go wrong if you are not careful. Also, it is almost twice as heavy.
Cash in this context means literal cash.

Electronic transfers such as ACH would be allowed.
How does this target farmers if the tax relief is legitimate? It isn't. The farmers just have a vastly inflated sense of self importance and consider paying taxes to be optional.

Farmers are declaring their own tax relief.
€3k today is a price of an expensive laptop or an expensive bicycle (e.g. a bakfiets). €3k in ten years will be the price of a normal laptop or a normal bicycle.

How not being able to buy a laptop or a bicycle without asking permission from third parties is a good thing?

> The large fee compensates local residents in the form of reduced city taxes over time.

I wish lowering the taxes by compensating with other means was a more common approach. The most usual approach is accumulating income in whatever way possible.
A couple of reasons:

1) I wanted human readable specs and lockfiles.

2) I didn't want to introduce a dependency (working with SQLite in Go is pretty ugly, it either requires GCC or a ton of other dependencies for a pure Go implementation).
The cars have adapted to hit people better though, at least for a given size of car. See Euro NCAP pedestrian test. Cars have softer front ends, and they even pop up on impact to give a softer landing for the pedestrian. Also, automatic emergency braking systems.

What is your education background if you don't mind me asking? Like, did you study something else or forgo it (post secondary) entirely? Thanks for the insights
Also, check out all the free MIT OpenCourseWare CS classes. I listened/watched through a bunch of them a few times and then did some online exercises (leetcode, advent of code, hackerrank, et al) and it really helped me understand algorithms better and I also became a much better programmer for it.

I'd also suggest going through Network+ and Security+ study guides too. IDK if the certs are worth it because I haven't actually taken the tests, but the books alone taught me a ton of the important concepts at a high level.
Wired literally has a quote from someone competent who says exactly what I said:

"Provided you make the effort to maintain warheads properly, though, they ought to work. “Russia has a robust nuclear capacity. They refurbish their warheads often,” says Amy Woolf, a US specialist in nuclear weapons policy. Schneider, too, is confident that Russia’s nukes are serviceable. It would be unwise to assume otherwise. "

I can't read the WSJ or NYT articles without subscription so I cannot comment on those.
I agree with all of your points except:

On some level, my most of my routine hygiene was due to having to go into the office, including getting my hair cut. I'd likely have skipped a couple hair cuts if I never had to face people.

Sometimes tools are deceptively simple. Small examples magnify benefits. However, in the large problems become intractable. But the sunk cost fallacy is there to prevent change.
After a few decades of inflation from now that will be a much more common occurrence and the laws will probably never be updated to reflect that.
And then you wonder why the crypto keeps going up (I'm talking about long term trends). Many believe that the 2016/2017 spike in crypto coincided with the Indian demonetization of November 2016, when the Indian govt. declared all currency notes to be invalid.

You misunderstand.

We are talking hard paper cash here. It might help if we quote a translated excerpt here :

This practice is now being abolished by the introduction of Sec. 16a GwG. From 1 April 2023, it will only be possible to purchase real estate using means of payment other than cash, crypto assets, gold, platinum or precious stones. All parties to the transaction are required to present satisfactory proof of payment, for example a payment confirmation from a financial institution.

Those are the types of "fans" that insist on extremist, racist purity checks for every point. I'm sure most people who resonate with the song agree with Anthony.
I know it varies by topic, but my experience asking ChatGPT about things I already know about (eg a smattering of topics in algebra) was bad. Like, bad bad. It got the intuition completely wrong, and asking for more explanation just got you complete garbage that ignored everything except the most trivial cases. Just be careful for anything outside of a 101 class!
Not from the Netherlands but from a small third world country: farmers around here like to buy things on spot doing handshake deals and carrying bags of cash. I've heard them buying a lot things from cattle to agricultural supplies and even vehicles.

Mind you, this is a poor country. The middle class in the capital city can't even dream of making what these farmers make.
This x1000. Back in the 90's writing software 3d rasterizers was right of passage of sorts. Writing parsers and interpreters too. At least that was my impression. Doing "hard" things like this can be very illuminating, it's kind of a super power to know how these things work. "Pulling back the curtain" on things that seem like black magic before.
Maybe this varies regionally?

I'm around Kansas City. The biggest builders here will be in multiple subdivisions at once, with varying topography, and they may or may not have been the ones to plat out the lots.

They will absolutely sell you any house plan in their catalog to go on any lot, so long as it fits. You might get a walkout basement instead of a full in-ground basement, but that's about how much it varies.

The only variability is that smaller plans would be available in nicer subdivisions (that require bigger/expensive houses) and larger plans won't be available in subdivisions where they don't physically fit on the lots.
That's clever, but probably too clever for the 99% of people who don't even know what a BIOS is. You've got to wonder why Dell wouldn't do that kind of front end work themselves.
>For example, you are not a monopoly on your own platform, but working with anyone to raise the prices on another platform is illegal under this framework, as well.

That's when the players the work with form a "cartel". And even there it's not an antitrust case until we're talking about a majority of combined share. Else two or more two-bit players deciding to sell at the same price is not a cartel (nor a trust). If Panic and BareBones meet and decide to sell their editors for $100, it's nobody's concern.
No, you would have money in a bank account, and transfer the money to the receipients bank account. No cash payment needed.
Yeah, and your income is also none of our business, we just have to blindly trust what you fill in on the tax form?

There's way too much fraud around, government unfortunately cannot blindly trust everybody.

I'm from Poland, only carry about the amount of one big grocery cart in once in two years event when transaction system has problem.

The things I paid/got paid for/in cash (say above $500) are so far:

* advance for a house, which is pretty much done cos it makes whole procedure easier for both sides

* that one time buyer of the land we were selling decided to pay in cash, but that was back when transaction costs were % of the value (that got changed to something more reasonable), so just taking a bag of money out of bank to give someone else that then went to bank and put it into their account was significantly cheaper than electronic transfer

I think it's also semi-common in buying cars, as then it's simple trasaction (here are your keys, here is your money) vs buyer maybe not being paid. But for mine I just paid via elixir transaction, it was cheap enough to be under daily limit.

As for sub-$500 still happen reasonably often but mostly old people.
That's been the case for years in Belgium. I like cash, and use it whenever I can. But I can't say this limit ever affected me in any way. Largest cash transaction I ever did wasn't even half that. You can't even get your hands on that much with ease anymore. ATMs are capped at less than that. Most (all?) banks will refuse to hand you that much cash.

Unless you run a business which accepts a lot of cash, the odds of you having that much cash on hand are slim. And even then, how often do you make a payment that big?

Of course, criminals don't care about these limits, so it's pretty much pointless.
The primary thing that happened to Java, is the tech universe got a lot bigger and it didn't retain its former mindshare. That definitely isn't a detraction to Java, it's still a big deal. The same fate - or worse - has happened to all popular languages, without exception.
No, and that's kind of hard to assess - but if they are inspecting facilities for maintainance of nuclear weapons and they appear to be in good order, then it would be weird for those facilities to not be actually used for their stated purpose of weapon maintenance. No one, not even the russians, is pouring billions into keeping those facilities operational and up to scratch and then not actually using them - I think it would be very unreasonable to assume so.
You sound like an American where many have an adversarial relationship with the government.

In some countries like Netherlands, the citizens largely trust their government to represent their interests by enacting such rules.

Not saying whether it’s right or wrong, just stating how it works…not everything is “muh, freedom!”
Like mentioned I have not seen any cheques in use for 20 or so years. I have not seen 'personal' cheque books since the Euro has been introduced.

>Or at least stop assuming that the EU is one homogenous society modeled after their own personal experiences.

How was the assuming - "I don't know all EU member states in detail". I have lived (as in years) in several EU member states. Visited (travel) across most of them too.
It's not always like that.

Take for instance washing machines. They aren't conceptually complicated from user perspective. More or less, they have well-defined configuration parameters. You don't need a complex model of a washing machine in order to successfully operate it by any stretch of imagination.

That is, unless you buy a modern washing machine... where instead of having separate controls for water temperature and time you get a single knob. In most cases it doesn't even have a line on it to show which direction it points. It's just a round knob you can rotate endlessly. When you rotate it, in seemingly random order the lights near cryptic icons go on and off. Even if you can sort-of guess what a particular icon might mean, you will have very hard time finding a combination of the desired temperature and time.

And this is not unique to washing machines. Try toaster-oven, or water boiler, vacuum cleaner, air conditioner... modern day household electronics have the most idiotic design in their entire history. And they aren't conceptually hard to use. People who came up with the interface made it unnecessary complex and convoluted. And it's not a one-of event. This keeps happening all across the board, different brands, different kinds of equipment...

My explanation to this is not that it sells better: I'd absolutely buy a washing machine with text labels instead of icons. It's some kind of bizarre trend where manufacturers think it's more "stylish" this way.

Hell, take modern furniture or bathroom equipment for example. There's a bizarre trend to avoid showing the screw caps. It makes installing stuff much harder and the final installation more fragile and suspect to accidental damage... and yet it's nigh impossible to find simple(r) alternatives which would be durable and easy to assemble.
I carry my cash in a pocket on my pants. It doesn't get ruined.
>Do you have any actual example of that ? What transaction do small farmers need to do along roadside for thousands of eur ? As kid of small farmer I don't remember anything like that ever happening.

While each transaction might be <3000, on a good weekend, I could see it totaling to be over that amount. At this point, would it be illegal for the farmer to show up to his bank to deposit 3001? Does the farmer now need to waste time to make 2 separate trips to make each deposit < 3000? Maybe take the spouse and kids along so they each make a smaller deposit? Does this require visiting multiple branches?
As someone who has been a code-writing 'engineering manager' for 10+ years, much of this rings true, aside from the insinuation that I haven't been doing this all along anyway and that it's related to business cost savings.

Yes, there is the added component of having to 'work' and 'lead' that can and does cause split-brain syndrome and stresses above what it's like to simply be doing the work, but that's how the role has always been for me and I don't see any reason I'd want it to change.

Does this make me more or less effective? I certainly cannot answer that question but I do agree that much of what is laid out in the post about how to tackle the disparate work that comes with the role as it exists for me.

1. Delegate as much as possible.
- This provides opportunities for your team
- It provides space to do more strategic thinking
- Remember that while the team may not operate at your level of expertise, they need opportunities to grow into that level and this is the best way for them to do it, even if it means more back-end leadership/management work on your end.

2. Block off time to do strategic work and leadership tasks
- This is HUGELY important
- If you're not finding enough time, delegate more (see #1)

3. Don't, at all, assume that leaders (you) are just doing leadership work
- Keeping on top of the technology and architecture will likely pay dividends to you and the team
- Work hard to try and work at the 100K foot, 10K foot, and 0K foot levels. This will help you be able to better help and understand the work of those working for you.
>Ideally, you'd want to be situated on a southward facing slope, beneath the road

Build hard things. Write a programming language, a text editor, a database. Also try and break things. For example how many requests a second can you run before things hang etc. Basically get out of web dev as I see many people just stuck there.

My point wasn't that you should never give people access to raw data, but that the raw data won't fit in excel rows. You have to do aggregation or filtering somewhere to get the data within the row limit.
"it has been shown that companies can do fine with much much fewer employees"

Has it? Twitter has lost most of its employees ... AND most of its income. I doubt this makes for a net positive for them.
Inference operates at a higher layer of abstraction (tasks & architectures vs weights), targets a different audience (software engineers vs deep machine learning experts), and is focused on computer vision specifically (which informs features like its data integrations & interfaces).

I could even imagine a future version of Inference using Triton as an option for its inference engine behind the scenes.

Edit: I'd also be remiss to mention that NVIDIA have been great partners to Roboflow and we also have integrations with Tao Toolkit[1] & Omniverse[2].

Why did you originally build this product? Was it something you personally needed or were you helping someone else solve their problem?

Market to the people that have those same problems.

Regarding monetization, it's difficult to build features that people will pay for if you don't know why and how they're using your product.

It doesn't seem like the translation feature (however cool it may be - props for building it) is something that people have a need for...same with the other features such as teams/groups. What if your current users are primarily solo social media content creators?

Some final thoughts:
- Where are your 10-20 signups coming from and how did they find you? Ads/social media/organic search?
- Collect information during sign-up such as: personal or business? industry? etc.
- Might even be worth manually going through your 1,500 emails and manually researching users. I'm sure you can at least identify a handful of users via LinkedIn, etc.
> Many apps with moderate interactivity don’t need thousands of lines of JavaScript.

I mean, maybe? Depends what you mean by "many". I'm certainly not advocating for adding JS & frameworks where interactivity is not needed, and as I mentioned, for less than a couple thousand lines, an SPA framework is almost definitely the wrong choice. But my experience in the last 10 years is that very few projects do not grow to the point of requiring quite a bit of JS for interactivity. Async requests, complex client-side form validation, comboboxes, dynamic modals/content previews, showing/hiding long content, 3rd party integrations... these sorts of requirements are in nearly every app these days. And the HTML/CSS only solutions are just not good enough yet, unfortunately.

> And using a backend framework for templating is not mutually exclusive to using a JS build system for helping transpile files and purge CSS and such.

Sure, but at this point, why are you avoiding introducing a JS framework? All that stuff is built in to most JS frameworks (but not backend frameworks). You could piece it together yourself... but for what benefit?
