This is exactly the complacency that's such a weakness of my country. Canada had one company that made a splash 20 years ago, and that's good enough?

I guess it's fine that engineers will virtually never move from the US to Canada for better pay and more interesting projects, and always the other way around. It's fine that if you ask a Canadian kid to list off apps or tech products that are cool, they won't be able to think of a single Canadian one (most of them won't even have heard of Bombardier). It's fine that our telecoms are some of the worst and most expensive in the world, that this lack of competitiveness and desire for excellence extends to just about every sector of our economy, and Canadians just roll over and take it. It's fine that the brightest students at our universities will leave for other countries with more opportunities and lower cost of living. It's fine, because remember BlackBerry?
Feels like one of those technologies where you read about it, and it seems cool/powerful and you wish you had a use case to try it out, but can never find one that you can't handle more easily without it. Am I missing some big current, real-world application?
Currently I am considering Zoho Billing which is included in the broader suite of Zoho One. It is also available standalone.

It keeps things nice and tax compliant in my country, so that reduces overhead for me.

Apart from the major players like stripe and paypal, also consider checking out Lago.

I too coded that in my server. It's not hard to do, and debugging can be harder at times (but not excessively so.) As you say it's just a case of logging when debugging.

When anchors are needed I use a different column for that- not the primary index. (Usually some other unique, already-present, value like the sku or whatever.

The security implications though are substantial. I don't leak primary key info even if the PK is serialized. (These days I'm all-in on UIDS but I have older legacy systems to deal with too.)
An earlier class of candidate blood substitutes tried to replace hemoglobin with oxygen-bearing chemicals called perfluorocarbons, widely used in refrigerants and fire extinguishers. One was even approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989 for use in surgeries. But the complexities of making and administering it, along with various side effects, undermined that product, which was ultimately withdrawn.

I was old enough to remember reading about this in the news when it was still news:

It’s kind of sad how many electronic hobbyists complain about price for these small production run boards.

It’s way too easy to think “I can get 10 PCBs for $5, and the total BOM for this is only X on LCSC - what a rip off!”

This ignores:

Assembly costs,
Shipping,
Taxes and duty

And then when you actually sell something:

Packaging costs,
Distribution costs,
Platform fees,
Things getting lost in the post,
Refunds,
Etc…

A good rule of thumb is that you need to charge at least 3x your production cost to actually make any profit at all.

And all this ignores the actual time that’s invested…
It happened to me two or tree times on Wikipedia. When selecting text and right click, the copy item was disabled, I restarted Firefox and the copy field was enabled. Is funny how I never stopped to think about it till now seeing this post.
Great experience. I love to hear stories of people who actually used or saw these machines in use.
My preference is semi-compatible with both conventions:

First = 0
Second = 1
Toward = 2
Third = 3
…

This way, the semantic meaning of the words “first” (prior to all others) and “second” (prior to all but one) are preserved, but we get sensical indexing as well.

I was referring to common elements like window switches, yes. I figured it would've gone without saying since the other components are binned based on manufacturing quality.
Traumatic experiences (Marriage, Divorce, Loss of a partner, etc, etc) cause a reassessment of your life-beliefs, or your lifestyle, or your mindset.

So much so that there is a sharply-defined "before" and "after" period of your life.

I'm so sure if this is what you mean by 'Ego Death' or whether you are referring to what many of us call 'Transitions'.

There have been several books titled 'Transitions' one written by a man and another written by a lady around 1985. I read the one by the lady back when my first marriage broke up. Before I read that book my first wife described me as 'a beaten dog', and two or three weeks later she described me as 'almost arrogant', because I had changed so much in such a short time.
Hi! Yes! I'm intending on adding an RSS feed at https://wryl.tech/log/feed.rss within the next few days.

I have a habit of hand-writing the markup for the site, so it's missing a few features people expect from things like statically generated sites or hosted blog platforms.

I built an early site using those techniques in oh, 1996 I think? (stomped.com) Using zero border/padding tables was a clever way at the time of accomplishing a fancy graphics tab/menu without resorting to calling a CGI script.

Yeah because that's what an average citizen needs to do to participate a global treaty: studying Chinese.

A million rows is quite small.

A string will use 36 bytes per row. bigserial will use 8 bytes per row. At 4 billion rows that's about 100G. Now imagine a row with 3 foreign keys to other tables with string UUIDs and you're wasting 300G (vs UUID type) or 400G (vs. bigserial), for no good reason. And doing things like "where id = ?" will be slower. You will be able to keep fewer rows cached in memory. Etc.

It's absolutely not a bikeshed. And migrating all of this later on can be a right pain so it's worth getting it right up-frong.

It's also not more effort to do things right: usually it's exactly the same effort as doing it wrong.
First problem, energy. Second problem, gravity. Third problem, dirt. Don't tell me, they are stuck at the first one.

I think about a year now. I would like even lighter switches than Pro Red but they're much better than the default Kinesis ones that make my hands hurt. I find personally the lighter switches are more important than avoiding bottoming out, but that is controversial. It took me a couple weeks to regain my typing speed, not a huge learning curve like it was switching to KA in the first place. The travel case is also useful but quite large. It's more fragile feeling than Kinesis products, but not as bad as many 3d-printed DIY keyboards. The fragile feeling comes from its lightness which is also an asset.

No, every server will have its own series:

Server 1: [1 4 7]
Server 2: [2 5 8]
Server 3: [3 6 9]

Or whatever is appropriate. You can even add/change this later on.

Again, I'm not saying it's necessarily the best solution, I'm just saying it's possible. I'm not really interested in a long discussion about uuid vs. serial because it's been done to death a million times. Previous poster said it's impossible and that's just flat-out wrong.

No! I use it everyday at work.

I hope other people are burned out on it and not using it — I’ll be happy being the only one taking all the benefits :)
I agree and apologise for writing bigserial out of ossified habit. Identity columns hew to the SQL standard, bigserial is a pg-ism. I actually do still use it when the ORM’s DDL generator prefers as much (looking at you Rails), there’s no gain from fighting the middleware.

For other readers: the two are almost the same in behaviour, they differ primarily in that identity columns don’t need a USAGE grant on their associated sequence, and the ALWAYS makes it harder (but despite the term not actually impossible) to override the default value on row insert.
In their own marketing they show several of these monitors being used side by side and bill their computers as supporting multiple of these displays. I don’t recall them ever showing a monitor adjustment.
Interesting! I haven’t connected my smart LG to the net since it was new, and it handles everything I throw at it.

I prefer to use an external box as opposed to the built-in apps, to have a more responsive interface, to keep the TV as clean as possible, and to have control over choosing to update the TV or not.

One big difference, if I understand correctly, considering that I think I understand Tao better than Logos, is that Tao is definitely purposeless and kind of pluralistic, which seems rooted in Chinese culture, whereas Logos seems to me to lean more toward purposive and not pluralistic. Like, Chinese culture has a big thing for filial piety--one's ancestors, as your creators, with the lack of a 'central power', seem to catch up some of the sovereignty that logos would attribute closer to the divine. In Chinese culture, it's not some weird divine abstract thing you owe existence to, it's just your ancestors.

Taoism seems to talk of 'heaven and earth', but 'heaven' seems like the collective of little sovereignties like the emperor, your parents, and simple the pattern of nature itself, the pluralistic part. 'Heaven' doesn't seem like a monolithic entity.

In regard to being purposeless, purpose seems acknowledged as emergent, and subservient, like 'the way that can be named is not the eternal way'--there's naming, purpose, and then subservience. It's harder to think of more concrete examples, and it's a bit easy to confuse an acknowledgment of pattern with purpose, but taoism seems rather critical of purposive action on the whole.
If the other business is smart, they won't let you acquire them at all and will force you into a B2B pricing package. Obviously you demand their product and are willing to pay a high fee; sounds like a perfect time to bait you into a contract.

Unless you buy them out for a ridiculously eye-watering price, I don't see how this could work well. At founder-scale you should be focusing less on mergers & acquisitions and more on building your product. A good place to start would be engineering a contingency plan if you can't acquire said company.

Kanban: See tasks that need to be done, do them and drag them to done.

It’s usually always frustrating.

On one hand, this is dystopian. On the other, it’s going to take a big shift in approach to make CAs law enforcement more productive. It’d be nice to free police up to actually try to figure out retail and car theft.
It's also been heavily criticized for using rhetoric that supports the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar[0] and being a mouthpiece for the Burmese government. The editor-in-chief has denied these allegations but has run a number of problematic pieces. Like a cartoon depicting a dark-skinned Rohingya cutting in line in front of other ethnic minorities, and another one which suggested Bangladeshis were waiting at the western edge of Myanmar ready to invade. Or running a fake news piece stating that the US ambassador alleged the Rohingya “would demand a Rohingya State or Muslim State” if their ethnic name were officially recognized

It's also funded by the US (specifically, the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy has given it $150-200k every year since 2005)[1]

But then by default you are leaking potentially business sensitive data with your id if you are using it as public facing, which is unsecure design by default.

I would rather have secure data by default and opt in to optimise when it is clear this info is fine to leak.
100% this. Context is everything, and advice without understanding context should be suspect at best.

That said, I've found that contexts can change. Personally I started with the database being local (send single). It the migrated to remote (web), after that to distributed and from there to mobile.

As contexts gave changed I've found we needed to switch to UUID (and the switch was a pain.) A lot of our problems would simply not exist if we'd used uuid from the start.

So now my "default advice" is uuid, unless there's a -specific- reason not to. For me, performance is not that reason (your database outlives multiple generations of hardware, and faster hardware will dwarf optimisation-via-data-type.)

And don't get me started on natural versus surrogate identifiers- that ship sailed decades ago.)
Yep, that's what I meant. Lots of comments, not a lot of time for proofreading!

Time to push for muon-catalyzed fusion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion

There is one company trying it:

https://www.acceleron.energy/

Muon production efficiency optimization is a worthwhile engineering problem. The accelerator needed to make the muons can already be made more efficient than assumed in the classic papers.

Muon-catalyzed fusion does not require the unlikely combination of 100M degree plasma generating huge power right next to cryogenic superconducting magnets.

Muon-catalyzed fusion can already run continuously, unlike plasma fusion. There is none of this "it can run for x seconds" nonsense.

The efficiency needs to be greater than 1, but all parts of the power plant are included in this calculation. So, for example, making a more efficient steam turbine helps. So consider..

A tritium breeding blanket is needed for all kinds of D-T fusion including plasma to locally make the tritium fuel from the fusion neutrons. If you include U-238 in it, you double the power output thanks to all of the resulting fissions.. just as in an H-bomb. This could push the plant efficiency above 1..
In high school I built a chrome extension to secretly chat with my girlfriend on the Google Search page.

Her parents were super strict and would not allow having a boyfriend, we were caught once so wanted to be few steps ahead of their detection.

Using internet was allowed for her to study.
Made the extension such that when you search for something popular click on the largest image in knowledge graph (right side box) 4 times and then do a right click the wikipedia description will become a chat box (to avoid accidental discovery by her sister).

Backend a very simple .txt file and php to insert and maintain only last 5 conversations.

I think I made it over a few days. We used it for a total of 2 times because we couldn’t notify each other when we come online.

Switched to a simple ROT13 encoded sms-ing. With the key changing every day.
> The consciousness is the part which is aware of these sensations

Why are you so sure this awareness is not itself a perception generated internally? A higher order perception parameterized/modulated by other perceptions perhaps, but still a perception, which is why subjectivity and qualia appears to have a perceptual characteristics, eg. I can focus on/attend to my subjective experience or qualitative experience and it becomes sharper, or I can ignore them and it fades more into the background, just like any other sense.

This places front and center the fact that it, like all perceptions, are fundamentally incomplete, and necessarily inaccurate because the brain "fills in" missing information, eg. your field of view might seem complete, but you have literal physical blind spots that your brain fills in. Perceptions are accurate enough to be useful, but not fully reliable. And so we should conclude the same of our apparent perception of subjective, qualitative experience.

In between marriages, over the course of a year or two, my standard answer to almost every invitation was "Why Not?"

Coming to Melbourne for the weekend? Why Not? (Even though I'd just spent a hundred bucks or so on a plane flight from there earlier that day! So what?)

Want to go out for Italian? Why not? (I haven't eaten Spaghetti Marinara for a long time.)

Want to go to the movies? Why not? (Never seen that actor before. He might be good.)

It's a remarkably freeing mindset. And you end up doing so many unexpected things. And meeting new people.
Surely there's more choice if these stores host apps that Apple refuses to (like real alternate browsers). Users will get the choice to install the apps. And no, not all apps will be on all stores.

Curiously enough, I've recently been on the receiving end of something like this. Someone found the website I've maintained for a long-since mothballed creative project. He then found my personal email address (not hard, though it's not posted on that site), and has been sending me his own absolutely wackadoodle theories. His messages are too long to do more than skim, but not frequent enough to be more annoying than they are entertaining - but I've very deliberately not replied. So... Top tip: don't be That Guy.
