I built a serverless SaaS no-code/low-code platform which could be of interest: https://saasufy.com/

You can build your entire app inside a plain HTML file which can be deployed online with something like GitHub pages.

I've built a few apps with it including a real-time chat app which supports both group chat, private 1-on-1 chat with an account system (with access control), OAuth via GitHub... The entire app is only 260 lines of HTML markup and fully serverless (no custom back end code). Access controls are defined via the control panel. All the app's code is in this file: https://github.com/Saasufy/chat-app/blob/main/index.html

You can try the app here (use the 'Log in with GitHub' link): https://saasufy.github.io/chat-app/index.html

Saasufy comes with around 20 generic declarative HTML components which can be assembled in complex ways: https://github.com/Saasufy/saasufy-components?tab=readme-ov-...

There is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how the components work but once you understand it, you can build apps very quickly. The chat app only took me a few hours to build.

I've also been helping a friend to build an application related to HR with Saasufy and I managed to get the basic search functionality working with only 160 lines of HTML markup.
I can be one of those of people, but I can also tell you there’s a bevy of other people in my life who never fail to annoy the crap out of me calling me out for leaving the lights on, using too many napkins, etc. Don’t lose hope, for every person that like me, there’s many more who are not
This is so interesting as my experience with PowerBI is that it’s just not as good. Not just that the figures look worse and have worse default colors, but functionality-wise it’s just more of a hassle.

What’s nice is that it’s better than Excel so if you want to replace Excel, PBI is great. But if you want a functional data viz that you’re not embarrassed to put on your web site, I’m not sure PBI works.

Not at all. As someone who lived through that: there was much less enthusiasm and acceptance around starting a business. It was seen as harder and the Internet was perceived as less of a sure thing.

You could argue there was more low-hanging fruit in terms of opportunity, but to anyone who was a product of the age, they weren't primed to see it. So the absolute amount of opportunity wasn't substantially different than it was before. Our mind plays tricks on us when we look into the past: "If I had known X, I could've done that." But, you didn't. And business is rife with survivor bias.

And hell, Elon almost ruined Tesla with his drive to over-automate manufacturing.

Getting to work 100s of suppliers, not all of which are directly managed by the OEM, together is happening all day, every day in all industries building hardware.

Seriously, HNs ignorance when it comes to real engineering and manufacturing is really frustrating.

It's not as unreasonable as you think - even in lower income / high tax burden countries like Austria an avg. net salary is enough to keep on travelling to all kinds of places.

I know people who work for the state government who keep appearing in India, Thailand, Brazil etc. when we're in meetings - usually they're billed as external consultants to avoid tax liability issues.

The true crux is that most people don't actually want the digital nomad lifestyle, humans naturally seek out some form of stability.
For static sites, I’m quite happy with Cloudflare Pages + Github deploy action. (https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action)
Completely non scientific theory, although inspired by McGilchrist's "The Divided Brain" I'd wager that as we age the left hemisphere takes more and more of our awareness as we map the world internally and we tend to live more and more from "what is already known" as opposed to present experience.

I too have hundreds of hours of meditation and I remember the feeling of time was very much affected. One night I remember out of sheer stubborness I sat for 5+ hours and I always remember the next week felt like it was a month.

It doesn't have to do with having "new" experiences, or new memories, or doing anything "interesting". It has to do with how we attend to the world.

And as Gilchrist pointed out this is being worsened as the devices we use day to day like smartphones, which aren't inherently bad, tend to stimulate mostly the left hemisphere unless you just listen to music. All the time you're going after buttons, notifications, looking at the icons, you're just continually sucked back into the world of the left hemisphere : icons, words, symbols, "things" to do or that could be done, things that could happen, emails, posts, likes, whatnot.

Actually I think it was already shown through EEGs that long time meditators, buddhist monks, had some areas of the brain more developed.. which would seem to support my theory likely those areas are related to the right hemisphere (and hence the right hemisphere's qualities such as ability for compasssion, seeing the whole, seeing things in context, ... and therefore seeing one's life in context as well instead of an old tape repeating in your mind everyday).

edit: also if you think logically, then it makes sense that the common intuition that having new experiences, or adding more variety in your life would make time feel like it goes by slower, but it is not because of "new" experiences, but as in my theory above, because those new experiences stimulate the right hemisphere, as you become more focused and attentive to what is happening NOW. In fact by definition any new experience will stimulate the right hemisphere. So if you dont have the $$$ to go out and enjoy the world, or take a vacation the good news is you'll probably enjoy the benefits of right hemisphere activation by doing... NOTHING! (ie. meditation, focused attention on the breath or any one of many techniques all revolving around developing concentration and attention) :)

Slightly different angle: I’ve been digitizing my grandparents’ journals. Something I’ve appreciated is the mundane.

“Had a headache. Went to bed early” seeing how often my grandpa was sick was very eye opening to me.

“Got the X repaired/replaced. Cost me $Y and it took Z days to finish”

“I sat and just visited with $Child. What a good kid. He’s just a teen. He told me about his friends and school”

Etc. I don’t know. I guess reading a normal life makes me feel better. Growing up I thought they were perfect. Seeing they were people just like me with very similar struggles is actually fun.
AWS will save us so much money! We don't have to pay for people to look after hardware! ... just pay for people to set up AWS, and maintain AWS, and make sure we're not paying thousands extra for AWS...

> The top 5% of earners pay 63% of taxes; the top 1% 42.3% Who is extracting from whom?

The top is extracting the bottom. The top earners often pay, as a percentage, less than lower earners. But the fact they pay so much in absolute terms is because they have all the f'ing money! How did they get it? Through extraction from all those people who work as hard and likely harder than them, but still earn comparatively nothing.
I think it took me maybe a 1/2 day to grok the majority of it and get a build pipeline setup. Most of that time to be honest was getting the permissions correct between the build pipeline components. I used to feel the same but found it to be not that true once using it.

You can configure your ECS cluster using the console UI or something like Terraform. Once configured its set it and forget it.

Honestly not that much more complicated compared to Heroku.

Comparing nitrites (which occur naturally) with PFAS and other "forever chemicals" is off the board.
To my understanding the observed and very real ill-effects of toxic bacterial excretions due to nitrites being phased out in lunch-box products (sliced ham, salami) here in the EU far outweigh any possible effects of the nitrites. Source: reddit comments that seemed legit.

The DNS name resolution is actually not done by your system or ISP, but by a DNS over HTTPs (DoH) service (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 resolver). Cloudflare seems to be respecting the TTL as returned by the authoritative name server for your domain, so if you are able to specify a short TTL for a TXT record in your domain control panel, any changes made to the website should be live within that time.
Teslas are perfectly fine vehicles with by far the most impressive software technology. But I wouldn't exactly hold them up as being particularly high quality, especially compared to Japanese and Korean automobiles.
TFR is collapsing to irrevocably below replacement levels in wealthy muslism countries as well. My friends in the region have cheap housing, relatively well paying jobs - are religiously traditional - the women want families, enough that the educated ones quit to become full time moms. They have the resources (like nannies) and the family pressure to, but still end up settling for 1-2 kids for less than >2 TFR. At least that's the pattern. Maybe they'll get bored later in life and have another one, but seems like no one wants to deal with more than 1 kid per parent, or driving mini vans.
I'd recommend Sprite Fight, Coffee Run, Sintel (in that order).
Sure, but maybe fire and prosecute some of the execs?

Given that they are largely not responsible in delivering the value that will ensure continued success of the company, signal that risking the lives of people is not a good business strategy, and may act as a wake up call for others in leadership positions that they should be leading towards what is best for customers and the business and not what is going to give them the biggest short term payday.

Marketing that takes into accounts biases of particular target group. That particular case is, I think, becoming common: since large fraction of the population is irrationally afraid of anything that has numbers in its name, whether as digits or words in any language, the companies look for whatever plant they can pull that specific substance from, and use that in production process - possibly compromising quality and efficiency, but allowing them to write ${good natural plant} in the ingredient list instead of evil E-number or satanic 6-6-hexa-whatever.

I'm conflicted about this practice. On the one hand, I hate pulling wool over other people's eyes; on the other hand, I also hate reflexive fear and anti-intellectualism of our society.

The most important thing for performance is to get the architecture right. You can do micro-optimizations any time but architecture is forever, you typically can't fix that after you've shipped it.

Almost all performance in modern systems is architectural in nature. Architecture doesn't live in 3% of your code, it lives in most of it.

The US military is the largest employer on Earth, some amount of bureaucracy is inevitable. But they are not a business and do not optimize for dollar-efficiency like for-profit businesses do. They optimize for other goals.

'Wasting' 5 billion out of an 842 billion dollar budget, for an organization that doesn't even have to make money, is nothing. Plenty of startups squander even more money, and never accomplish any of the entire point of a for-profit company, making money.

I'd like to recommend giving Daylio [1] a try if you want to start journaling. Someone on HN recommended this two years ago and I decided to try it because all past attempts at journaling had failed miserably after few weeks. I'm now on a 700+ day streak and I'm really happy that I started doing this 2 years ago. So much has happened and it's all documented. It takes so little effort to add an entry for the day and reading past entries is fun because what actually happened past year is not just a blur but a detailed record of activities, words and photos.

Actually we do have very little time, its just that the upswing and downswing have different feels to it. You might have noticed this even when you are driving for a vacation. Drive to the picnic spot feels like an eternity, drive back home feels quick.

There are ~52 weeks a year. Which makes a week 2% of a year. That's already a fast enough tick. Weeks do go by fast. An year is like 10% of a decade. Once you are past the age of 40. You indeed have little time left.

Human life is short if you are doing remotely well in life. It can be a suffering if you are not doing great.

My biggest complaint with powerbi is that there’s no versioning and collaboration across multiple authors is really hard. I can’t put it in git other than a binary blob and so that means for anything serious I have to just hope nobody goes in and breaks stuff.

At least tableau project files are just xml so you can stick it in git and have ugly merge requests. And rollback to versions if necessary.

The fact that Microsoft doesn’t even see this is a problem is infuriating and makes it hard for any serious data work where you need reproducibility and auditability.

> A corporation is not required to kill for profit.

Perhaps no, but a corporation has no compunctions about killing for profit. Let's take the direct approach, and list some that will take money and a target list, and make those people dead for you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_private_military_contr...

Here's a list of companies in the USA who will sell you the tools you need to kill people at scale:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_defense_...

But I think that's not exactly what we're talking about, we're talking more about how the corporate entity under this current system shields organizations of people from the deaths their decisions cause.

GM knowingly let people die due to a defect in their vehicles that they were aware of: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/why-did-gm-t...

PG&E was found culpable for the pipeline rupture that killed 8 people and destroyed 38 homes in San Bruno in 2010, because they ignored inspection data.

An article came out a few weeks ago about how immigrant child laborers are being killed in shocking volumes in American factories https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/feb/12/i...

Here's a fun that goes through a bit of the history of corporations killing people directly (murdering trade unionists) and indirectly (tobacco companies suppressing research). https://jacobin.com/2020/01/corporations-profit-values-murde...

There's something uniquely devilish about the corporation in our current legal and economic system.
How does it compare to MuJoCo?
I built a CD for AWS (beakerstudio.com). The author is correct about everything being super complicated. Tools like Terraform help automate changes, but you still have to _learn_ all of the strange ways AWS works and juggle configuration requirements that are oftentimes so bizarre it makes you wonder if they are trying to funnel developers into support plans.

Honestly, the experience of building Beaker Studio made me bearish on AWS. They price gouge and the DX is so bad teams pretty much need CDs. Once I get the time I want to update Beaker Studio so people can deploy to any old Linux box instead. Teams deserve so much better than AWS/Google/Azure.

>Elon has a great diatribe describing how the big automakers largely broke down and outsourced most parts manufacturing

For a company that purports to be an energy storage and generation business (with cars as an initial application), Tesla remains hugely dependent on their own suppliers. Panasonic occupies a major chunk of Tesla's own Gigafactory and has repeatedly delayed the production of new cells [0], [1].

Most of the time it's "I have to do this" or "I wish I had time to do this" or "Hey here's a random idea I had" or "My kids did this cute thing" or "We fought about this, here's what I think" or "oh here's my 3 favorite links from HN and what I thought about them or what they made me think about."

It took time to realize that was worth writing down.

Honestly I look back 10 years and see things like you describe. "I went to the gym for an hour, worked on this or that, blah blah", and I really love seeing that too. That's life man. Those memories fill your brain up with experiences and a sense of time if you let it. Just remembering how fit I used to be makes me happy and makes me want to do that again.

I think this is a common civilian misunderstanding of how the military breeds competence.

The US Military is absurdly competent at what its mission is, war fighting and logistics. What it is not competent at is things that are not yet internalized as part of that mission. Unfortunately non visible logistics (software) hasn’t made that cultural shift yet, and once it does will take a long time to breed the institutional competence that the military leans on, primarily due to the compensation gulf.
