If the OP was eating horribly tasting brussel sprouts as a child, it is fair to say that one of the parents were doing the cooking and that they probably were lousy cooks. I don't think anybody would go out to purchase boiled brussel sprouts in the streets to feed their kids. But I might be wrong.

> At one time, yes, women did most cooking

In all of history until very recently. Still in most of the world. Especially in rural areas.

> I cook because going to a restaurant is prohibitively expensive to do every day.

Norway is notorious for this, yes. But still, just because you make food at home doesn't mean that you cook. (Not meaning you personally) People can make sandwiches, as you might know. I had several Norwegian friends who were sustaining themselves on sandwiches exclusively. An impressive feat, considering that bread in Norwegian supermarkets is probably the lowest quality bread in the world.

There's also a generation of old men who are lost between the old and the new world. Many of them being without a woman to cook and too stubborn to learn any cooking of their own, while at the same time not accepting to pay for their food in a restaurant or eatery, because that's "too fancy" and "too expensive", they instead sustain on canned fish and sandwiches made with the worst industrial processed ingredients they can find in a supermarket.

I've worked on some pretty complex client side code and frankly react hooks are meh at best.

There is a very strong implication in the docs and even the overall solution of hooks to ignore the details and just "go with it".

Generally not healthy for building the level of understanding it takes to debug complex react code.

Also I deeply on a spiritual level detest the way that it very strongly incentivizes pushing business logic to the view layer.
If you put a role ARN in the principal section of a bucket policy, AWS will check if the role exists and fail the policy update request if not. Even if it's not in the same account. Don't know if there's another way but you can manually enumerate roles from there

The US is special in being able to build and sustain huge tech companies. But the most important (internet or otherwise) services for anyones' economy don't require such huge companies.

Not saying that the loss worldwide free communication wouldn't be painful, but I think it would be as painful for both the providers and the consumers of services.
If you can get taken on by a reputable agency that can give you work that eliminates a lot of marketing, sales, invoicing, and writing contracts.

If I had to find cloud admin/infrastructure work now, I would call companies that offer those services to small/medium businesses and ask if they had overflow. Google for "[city] IT consulting" for leads, look at the web site, email or (I think better) call. The idea is to work with established consultants who have found customers rather than try to compete with them. In my experience most of those places always need good people.

I had to move cities in the US in a hurry once (laid off) so I contacted IT support/consulting companies in the destination city, got a gig on the second call and ended up doing a lot of work for them. Not long after I moved a friend told me about a company he had worked with doing the same kind of thing, put me in contact with the owner, I got more work.
60TB with each request for 1Mb say would be 60000000 visitors. So guess this is possible but hell of unlikely.
> but the slow, clumsy humans made an acceptable substitute

The humans that made thorn bush corrals and teamed up with spears when one yelled lion?

They're not as easy for big cats as many might think, even today you can see barefoot humans with spears facing down cats and cats shying away from the sound of humans.

Only old slightly mad cats gave humans a go, and they rarely lasted long until people teamed up and took out the man eaters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJZR68KSIgY

> Even in the last millennium, thousands of humans were devoured by man-eating cats.

That's, like, one or two a year ... comparable to drowning and other accidental fatalities.

In reality, outside the drama of Rudyard Kipling story, it's a rare bit of drama for big game hunters to have an actual man eater to go after.
In some corporate environments, having to use MS Teams, Word, Excel, Powerpoint...while still being able to write code is often the driver.

I get it, based on a variety of medical phenomena, you can draw parallels between an unborn baby and a parasite. If thats your point, then fine, fair enough.

If you seek to use this analysis to push a political agenda, then I am having trouble differentiating the morality between that and slave owners pointing to the shape of skulls based on race. Your explanation is an analogy, parasites dont grow up to eventually provide care for the host, it doesnt sound scientificially accurate to call a baby a parasite based on some of the characteristics. Further, calling a baby a parasite, or anyone for that matter, is an attempt to dehumanize them; dehumanization has been followed by violence in a number of horrific tragedies, but the violence is committed by people who find it justified, because whoever they are killing aren't really people.

Terminal emulator windows shouldn't pass C-C to the apps if you have a selection active. (The old school cmd.exe even helpfully pauses the whole process if you have a selection active, no doubt causing millions of dollars of losses when people do this by mistake and don't know how to fix it.)

>I started programming in 1985 and thought I was very likely too late.

Lots of skilled programmers started coding when they were kids. But that does not mean starting to learn coding when you are 30 years old won't make you an excellent programmer: actually, you can learn even faster at that age because concepts like logic, dividing an issue into several small ones, and iterating step by step until the final solution are more intuitive to you than to a kid.
>It's not clear to me what the benefit of this over just running Linux is though.

The benefit is running Windows itself because the user also wants to use other software that runs better on Windows. E.g. DHH mentions one example in Fortnite:

>, and did I mention you can actually play AAA games on the PC? That $2,349 Dell ships with an NVIDIA 4070, which is plenty of power to drive everything from Fortnite to Cyberpunk 2077.

If Linux is the main host operating system on the computer instead of being a "guest os" such as WSL-Linux or a Linux vm, then one will have to do workarounds for Fortnite: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+play+fortnite+on+linu...

Likewise, NVIDIA 4070 drivers worked on Windows before Linux.

If running Windows native software is the main use case, a "Windows machine running a guest Linux os" will be superior usability to the opposite scenario of a "Linux machine running guest Windows os".

> especially anything network related

That's surprising. The last few Windows machines I've owned I've had to fiddle with networking stuff. In particular, they would all begin to intermittently lose internet access after about 6 months, requiring me to go through a series of steps to flush the DNS cache, renew IP, and reset winsock. On the other hand, I've never had a networking issue on a Mac for the 15 years I've owned them.

It's weird how much people's experience can vary on these types of things. I've heard networking being a headache on Macs from others too. I've just never experienced any issues before.
Why wouldn't I use it (for games) ?

Self-hosted languages are said to be prone to overfit because that self-hosted implementation tends to be the only large application written in that language, so they converge into a similar set of features (in particular functional ones). Not necessarily bad by its own, as many features in modern languages do come from FP, but that convergence is frequently independent from the originally stated goal and ultimately lowers a probability of success.
Decision making and arguing are two very different tasks. For decision making I find that asking questions around the subject helps clarify what you're actually trying to achieve with the decision, gives you additional information to work with and a bit of time to think while they're answering.

Also a valid response to being asked to make a decision can be "I'll think about it and get back to you" (but always make sure you do get back to them about it)

The best advice I've got for most arguments is to not bother. If you've reached the point of arguing then egos are involved and people won't back down even if they realize that they're wrong.

> I can set up a static website in AWS, but it takes 45 steps in the console and 12 of them are highly confusing if you never did it before

Anything can be confusing/takes time if you never did before. Getting productive needs time and practice. If your goal is only to set up a static site, AWS is an overkill for it.

> It's sad this is the current state of infrastructure.

It’s sad that some people still haven’t learned to pick the right tool for a problem.

> I could go on, but I won't. I'm dreaming of a world where things are truly serverless.

I don’t even understand what the author wants here. There is no such thing “truly serverless”. Your code will be executed by a server. Period. Serverless is just a fancy marketing term for ephemeral lightweight VMs.

Interesting, I actually was making a competitor to Email Engine but also open source, similar to Nylas, because I didn't like the latter's opaque pricing and I didn't like the former's self-hosting, I wanted it to be in the cloud.

I even got a YC interview based on this idea for last summer's batch (rejected primarily for being a solo founder, they seem to like solo founders only if they had a previous exit), but ultimately I gave up on the project because I realized I didn't actually like the problem space, it seemed too boring for me after a while and I wanted to concentrate on building things I thought were interesting.

I really dislike (hate, actually) the premature optimization quote, as it gets misunderstood all the time.

Many less experienced developers use it as an excuse of not taking performance considerations into account in design/architecture of a solution.

By doing this, they'll notice retrofitting performance to such a design isn't actually trivial.

I am talking about the value you provide as an investor - regardless of where you got the share. I agree that it is indifferent whether you buy it from the company (in an IPO or in later emissions) or on the secondary market.

My point is that the value provide is liquidity. Ie. the property that owners of a stock con transfer that stock into money to use on other ventures. People that merely hold a stock does not provide liquidity. You need to have an open order on your stock to do that.

Now, please oppose me! My question is: What value to does term holder provide in virtue of them being long term holders?

> The goal behind "hooks" was to make React simpler for beginners

No, it had nothing to do with making it "simpler for beginners." It was to functionalize state changes in a way that was impossible with classes and other OOP constructs like mixins. There is actually a great issue thread on the Flutter GitHub that explains exactly why other solutions do not work correctly when compared to hooks [0]. What people don't get about hooks is that they are an abstraction over state and app lifecycle changes. It is better to think of them as akin to closures but over lifecycles, not just holding state as closures do.

This looks interesting for me, but I'd really like more detail about the architecture and deployment in the docs.

There is this:

> A final SQL query against the combined data from the DataSource Layer

> The Combined Layer is just another SQL database (in-memory SQLite by default) that is used to tie the datasource data together and apply a few additional features such as rollups, row filters, row limits, sorting, pivots, and technical computations.

But it leaves me with questions - how/when does this get populated? What other options are there besides in-memory SQLite? (I presume that's just a convenience for development and would use something else in production?)

Or is it just what Superset calls a 'metastore' i.e. data about the data, and the queries are run against the data source layer?
