Depends on the app.

Probably Laravel with Livewire and Lit for creating interactive widgets. Postgres for the db.
One of the biggest problems is fake profiles. You can go through a batch, especially on Bumble or Tinder, and just swipe left and mutter “fake” non-stop.

This makes me believe the membership numbers are inflated with fake or marketing profiles to entice you to spend money.

OKCupid was one of the better ideas because if someone didn’t answer at least 100 questions, you could just skip them as probably fake.

I think meetups are the answer. Join activity groups that you’re interested in and just be yourself. Love will find you.

Some of us to achieve our PB. Others to BQ:

Some of us also engage in longer distances to find our limits. If you want a mostly chill crowd of runners, start running ultras.

Speaking of finding limits, this past weekend the backyard ultra record was broken again. It now stands at an amazing 108 hours (that's 4.5 days of running) and 450 miles:

Everyone was sure Ihor was going to win. Watching the race it didn't seem possible Harvey could do it again. And then, just like that, Ihor broke and Harvey recovered. And he won himself another Backyard.

how has vercel/ssr highjacked react?

at work, our backend is c++ and we use react without nextjs or any ssr. if we don't need it, we don't use it.
Fair enough. Most JavaScript code seems to avoid classes so it can be a little jarring if you're not use to it.
Real life is orders of magnitude more bandwidth than anything online. Online allows a lot more/easier maladaptive disconnection.

But yes, many (most?) in person relationships are also ‘imagination’ driven. Some very pathologically so (NPD, BPD, DID, etc.).
Sure, my point is that "we" is presumptive, as in "what do you mean 'we', white man?"

The neoliberal instinct to assume 'we' and then decide 'we' 'must do something' from atop our ivory towers is why we have industrial ag robbing the future to pay the present. 'We' were better off when centralization was limited to the distance you could walk in a day.
I might be the only one in here with an answer like this, but PowerShell and the Pode framework. I am super productive with it, as much so as in any other language, and it plays nice with the rest of my stack (Tailwind, HTMX, SQLite.) I can leverage the .NET framework and C# libraries when I need to and can iterate quickly. All of this runs on the latest version of Ubuntu LTS. Obviously, this won’t work for everyone but for my purposes I haven’t been able to beat it and it makes me happy.

But that's not something anyone has paid you for, so it's actually a counterexample.

Boasting about your clever business strategy when you have no paying customers is like boasting about your excellent fishing technique when you've never visited a body of water.
Let's discuss what "invasive" means.

Putting something in the body and getting it back out without tearing, is not invasive. Eating and vomiting would be categorized as invasive, in context.

A colonoscopy/endoscopy is internal and dangerous, which is not the same thing as being invasive, so the term "minimally invasive" is sometimes used as a happy middleground, which has then been sensationalized.
Nest is definitely more polarizing than fastify/express etc but I love it.

LAMP.

It can easily be maintained by a single developer. Scales well enough for a decent number of users. Huge ecosystem of components. Easy to deploy to literally any web host. Wide variety of front-end systems.

If you need to scale, it can do that. Developers for it are plentiful. But you can always rewrite it in the flavour-of-the-month framework when you hit either scale or money.

I’ve never fully understood how rental companies manage the risk caused by drivers not having an incentive to treat the vehicles well.

There’s a thousand ways you can incrementally damage a car that cannot be detected until some time in the future.

I guess with rentals some maintenance tasks can at least be handled. I know someone who leased for three years and never got the oil changed until the day before returning it.

It's very common for software to be developed by a company whose name bears no resemblance to the product itself. It's also common for small commercial or open source projects to be signed by an individual developer in their name. Am I going to verify any of these? In practice, no. If I wanted to verify the company name I'd visit the website I downloaded from and check the footer's copyright notice. Unless the website itself is EV validated (almost never) we're back to DV with extra steps.

The only time I've ever looked into the signee is when I downloaded obvious malware from a fake version of GNU Cash's website which I found from a Google ad. The malware was signed with a certificate from a Taiwanese hardware company.
Interesting. In the UK (or at least where I grew up), we wouldn't "not give a hoot", we would "not care a hoot".

Professional Stuntman opinion here. I've both been on fire and laid in pre-comped fire for reference videos.

It's hard because of the randomness associated with flame physics. It's near impossible to look good because of the lack of interaction of the set and performers.

Where VFX fire shines is in layering additional fire elements into a shot with with real fire. It makes a bigger scene without adding safety concerns to the crew.

I'll list some examples below.
I understand this criticism but the counter argument I’ve seen many times before is that the brutal simplicity of the design is a feature many people here value. Especially where bandwidth is a concern. Not so much my opinion but I’ve seen it fervently defended.

Database: PostgreSQL
I’ve worked with a number of 35+ year old women who think they will get married and have kids.

Yeah, right. It’s too late. None of them did, and if they did, it would be at great risk to them and child.

35 + courtship period + marriage + 9 months = no kids.

Good idea to try!
I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.

Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.

Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.
Insanely great. Amazing work.
The concept is something similar to do nothing for 2 minutes by calm. And it seem like you are also building an app. A description of that might be good

Great article. These parts of the cell are still mysterious.

Lynn Margulis’s work also suggests that structures like cilia and flagella, that seem like integral parts of the cell, are actually “captured” symbionts that used to be independent organisms.

Lift at that level is pretty weirds. The simple macro view thought in school (a tree with progression from roots to tips) is misleading and barely informative.
For the best performance, there’s no good reason content-focused sites should ever serve an uncached page to a visitor. With modern caching directives and other approaches on the table, it’s easier than ever to preventing visitors from knowing your origin exists at all.

Elixir/Phoenix + Postgresql. Maximum comfort, minimum chore.

For frontend side, if i can get away with minimal js, i'd go that way. If not, highly depends on team and target interactivity. If it's just me, i'd go with LiveView
Agree but with Postgres instead
I used to not have a tv by choice and go on walks all the time as I had nothing to do. I stopped doing it as it became weird and lonely past a certain point and age. There’s nothing quite like seeing people out in the world with purpose while shambling without even a real destination. Turns out humans are pretty good at avoiding unpleasant experiences and watch tv for a reason.
I'd personally be more interested in colonizing Venus. What would happen if we construct a large disc and put Venus in the shadow of it? It would cool over time and we could assess what to do then. Perhaps it still has a dyanmo in its center? Active plate tectonics? Water in unexpected places? Venus is very similar to Earth's size, much closer than Mars, and if we could cool it down and terraform it, a better Earth 2 than Mars.

Plus a version of such a disc might come in handy for Earth, if we cannot get warming under control.

The corollary here is that giving a shit doesn't scale.

The furniture makers that inspired this article can afford to give a shit because 1) they're expert at what they do and 2) they charge a lot of money.

These are constraints on both ends: on the supply of labour and on the demand for it. This is also why most people can't afford to give a shit -- they're not good enough to charge enough for that rare commodity.

If you think you're happy, you are happy.

Filtering your sense of happiness through some quality of life lens is absurd if you think about it.
Just had been thinking about this today, the current state of web development is making me seriously depressed.

I would pick what I'm most comfortable with, a simple monolithic Nest.js application running Fastify, with Postgres or SQLite, Dockerized, hosted on a predictably-priced host like Hetzner, and Ansible to automate everything. I know that stack will give me plenty of headroom until I eventually need to scale differently.

Front-end is still React, which has a massive ecosystem, and I feel like I can do _anything_ with it by just bringing in some dependencies, if it's a passion project then I want to deliver features fast, React allows me that.

I feel like a dinosaur, edge, workers, cloud functions... I'm familiar with none of that magic, there's probably a whole universe of amazing new ways to build for the web I'm sleeping on, but at that point I don't even care really.
Have we been dating in person for a couple of billion years?

Setting aside that people have not been around for billions of years, if you go back in history without the tech and the mobility we have today "dating" is a complete different thing. You didn't have such a large pool of potential partners, where you were born played a huge role and you also didn't have as much freedom to do your own thing as you did today.
This has nothing to do with military conflict. Banning the sale of old-west style revolvers and lever-action rifles is about hurting the American gun makers.

I think that's also a bit of an unfair comparison given the number of AUR packages you usually use on Arch. With nixpkgs there isn't a distinction between official and community packages.

I am five foot four and my former dating life from the time I was 22-36 wasn’t anything to write home about (with one failed marriage in between).

I got friend zoned more than I wish to admit. I started dating my now wife at 36 and I’m now 49.

I wasn’t unattractive - I was in peak physical shape by any metric as a part time fitness instructor, runner, muscular, 10% body fat. I was outgoing, decently successful financially etc.

But I am short.

It got better after my divorce At 32. Maturity - maybe? The nature of competition changed - probably? I was single, no kids, intelligent, still in above average shape. But I would have still failed miserably on dating apps I think. I met my now wife at work and the women I dated before then were mostly through teaching classes at gyms.

They were more willing to let their guard down with me as an instructor than just some random dude trying to hit on them at the gym
There is a surprising amount of overlap between two groups of people: those who argue that society should not provide any material benefits or services (money, housing, healthcare etc.) to its members, and those who argue that society should be structured so that men have access to sex.

Usually packages are built in an environment which has only a minimal base system plus the package's explicitly dependencies. They don't have random unnecessary packages installed.
I am old and teaching myself Spanish. I am starting with the Fluent Forever 625 list of words with an anki deck and then I will worry about other aspects of the language.
A native speaker audio saying the word and then an image of what the word is on the other side is pretty ideal.
I have just launched a relatively straightforward webapp that required a light touch front end with fairly significant data processing on the backend

- Backend: Django (Postgres in production) + Celery to handle async tasks
- Frontend: HTML (standard django renderer), CSS, HTMX + occasional jQuery
- Deployment: Render

I was already familiar with Python and I feel the language is more than capable to handle the data processing required and with Django I could concentrate on the actual app functionality without diving too much into auth etc
My Fire burn reel - https://youtu.be/3JpNBj3-Xjw

Look at the different movements and interactions I have with the fire and the fire has with itself as I move and spin. Not impossible to replicate digitally, but would require so much painstakingly detailed work that the cost of it outweighs the cost of doing it practical. Budget wise, you have 2 options. Pay for a vfx version that is good but not perfect, or pay for a practical fire burn.

Practical burns come with an added benefit of getting a better performance from your actors - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy31ycnv300/?img_index=2

The second slide of this series is a very small burn. It would have been easy to do with a light effect and vfx. What you would likely lose is the performer reacting in an authentic way. The head tilt from feeling the warmth. The delicateness of removing the jacket swiftly without touching the fire. All these things get lost when there is not a real fire element to influence it.
This view is extremely well-documented, by literally every historical record, although the poster got the quote slightly wrong - it's "every buffalo dead is an Indian gone".

... Or the stack you're most efficient/ effective in. A short time-to-market is most important for learning. If you don't reach an audience, your project might bore you soon. Tech rarely is the holy grail to success.

Building a Creative Practice
Depends on business scope, growth model etc. My default option is Java/Spring Boot/PostgreSQL for BE with HATEOAS API, Typescript/Angular SPA for FE if personalized experience is required. If it’s about just serving some almost static webpages, then some SSG+headless CMS with a bit of vanilla.js.

Choice of stack is simple: it may not be the best in class or fancy choice, but it’s close enough, allows simple infrastructure setup, quick start with rapid iterations and easy to go from 1 dev setup to a team. More importantly I have a lot of experience with this stack, so I can focus on business rather than on learning new technology.
Frontend: Remix or Next.js with server components

Backend: ASP.NET Web API (REST). Only calling these APIs from the backend-for-frontend Node code.

The meter. The distance light travels in a second in a vacuum is fixed. Divide that distance by 300,000,000. That is the length of 1 meter.
I wonder if this also relates to the choice of people in "visible" positions such as politicians and business executives. The men are selected for tallness first, and the women for competency.
Being a network and security guy, I've watched firewalls start blocking Apple devices "privacy" proxy as "Proxy Avoidance" category on common firewalls such as Palo Alto and Fortinet, and have often debated whether to allow or filter this. It's mostly noise to me, but I just facepalm with silly apple users falling for these consumer traps.

To me, this is just another way Big Tech is trying to siphon everything you do via them for inspection, ie. their marketing or selling of trending what you do regularly, including Apple. People don't know any better, it sounds real good to the normal layperson user as "protection", but really, it's not. When Apple switches this on globally under the guise of user benefit, I just laugh knowing better. Now that Apple sees _everything_ you do, they can go ahead and build that search engine they always wanted too.

Think differently said the wolf to the sheep.

Funny just a week or so ago Google of all people announced a "Privacy VPN" product. Hah, yeah right Google, you're just mad Apple thought of the racket first and want in on the action since Microsoft already has their Telemetry spyware well established for everything a user does sent to them, and Apple now too with their privacy proxy spyware.

This is pretty easily detectable with modern ECUs.
> I have always said that commercial dating apps have the wrong incentives.

What if commercial dating apps actually had their incentives aligned with their users?

I'm imagining an open clearinghouse of profiles that can be be consumed by multiple apps. The owner of each profile puts up a bounty. When a app proposes a match that causes the owner to go inactive for more than say a month, the app claims that bounty.

Obviously, there's some details missing here, but directionally, this incentivizes apps to propose good matches, so they can claim the money. It also allows head-to-head competition, forcing the whole market to improve.
Looks just as manipulated as view counts on YouTube or like counts on social media. Sad, really.
