Are you looking to launch an online pet business? In this article, I will show you how easy it is to manage and build your own website with a Software Engineer on PagePalooza.

This website or web application will include services such as a grooming price calculator, vaccination tracking and a pet adoption listing system.

Generate a landing page foundation
After you sign-up on PagePalooza.com, start by creating a new project and generating a landing page that will be the foundation of your website. Each service requested will be added to that landing page by a dedicated Software Engineer.

Create a custom engineering task
After you generated a landing page, you will be able to create tasks that will be converted to a quote by a software engineer.

Create a "Grooming price calculator" task
You will need to create a task with the “Grooming price calculator”. You will need to fill in as much details as possible so that the engineering will be able to itemize your request in a quote and give you a one-time payment price.

The software engineer will review your custom task request, and convert it into a quote. In the image above, the “Grooming price calculator” is still being reviewed and pending quote by the palooza engineers. The “Pet adoption listing” task is “Awaiting Payment”, meaning that it can now be reviewed, discussed with the software engineer and paid.

Review and discuss quotes with the software engineer, pay a one-time fee per task and scale at your own pace.

Why PagePalooza?
Generate and start with a 90% ready landing page as a foundation.

Create tasks to be built on top of it with no limitations.

Get a assigned dedicated Software Engineer for each task.

Get a quote for each task.

Tasks are built on top of your landing page/website.

Pay one-time fees for each task instead of recurring payments.

Manage the building tasks and scale at your own pace.

Own the custom built code.

Get free software engineering consultation and discuss core features and the best way to implement them.

Test out business ideas and alter business plan based on user feedback.

Full control over your website.

PagePalooza allows building and tracking the build of your website block by block. You start with a landing page and grow it the way you want with a real palooza engineer. You can include front-end changes such as a “Grooming price calculator” which will be a form that estimates grooming prices and you can start marketing your business. This is usually a cheaper way to kick-off and own the code so you can build upon it!
No the reason why they want young people is not speed.

Managers hate mature people because they are a lot harder to command. You also run into the problem of someone being more qualified than their superior.
I work in healthcare and seeing a child manager clash with a 60 year old nurse never stops being hilarious.
MacPorts has a pretty slick migration feature now. Not sure about Django, but this is the smoothest migration I've experienced with MacPorts in over 15+ years.

I think the main thing Intel was competing for was CPU + GPU given they have the new Xe graphics architecture which is decent. But I guess they could have just gone after the CPU with NVIDIA likely then supplying the GPU as they did in the first Xbox.
Bingo. I'm a big WFH person, but I'm old and have all those other things now. A young person just starting out should absolutely try to be in the main office every day.
Yeah, this is exactly why I ignored every single recruiter email from Amazon during and after the pandemic years. I knew this was going to be the result no matter what promises they gave.

Phones nowadays are made to last years, even 6+ years easily. So the update this year is not for the people who bought it last year but for people with an iPhone X or 11. They will see major improvements. But it’s silly to update (any) flagship phone every year.
I've literally just been buying powder mixes instead of energy drinks (see: mio, crystal light, etc...) and using caffeine pills for the caffeine. I could just do plain water, but then I have that minor desire for flavor. Absolutely not necessary, but helps cut the urge for an expensive can of energy drink.

My last purchase was a 4.75 can of Gatorade flavor (not uh, low cal, alas), makes 9 gallons, far cheaper than energy drink. But you can buy low/no cal flavoring too. I think this might be the future (til they jack prices to reach parity with canned/premixed drinks cuz the market says they can).
Flutter is another option for embedded.
Probably not, though, given that you couldn't find an example of envy and decided to randomly reach for hatred instead for some reason. Again, I suppose it has probably happened once, but is clearly not common enough to speak of (you literally were unable to speak of it).
What if your supervisor can't allow you remote work because policies from higher management strictly forbid it? What do you do in this case? Go to the office and not be productive?
I don't like this us vs them mentality. Nothing stops you from starting your own business and being on the "manager" side of things.

Cost of capital is up, productivity is down. So all companies have to work through options to increase productivity, and/or reduce costs. Companies will take different approaches to this
Oh derp. You are right. I totally misread that.
I think it's more the few bad apples that spoil the bunch.

Have you heard of over-employment? There are people working 2-3 full-time jobs, pulling over $500k, while actually putting in only a few hours worth of work each week.

There are a ton more that are working one job, but likewise giving very little output. It's harder to catch those folks in the act when they don't physically have to be present in the office.

While in office can be less productive in a fair amount of aspects it can also be more so in others. It isn't always some sinister plan from above.

Labor costs have risen greatly post-lockdowns, so companies expect to see a return on their money, more so in a rapidly tightening labor market.
That's exactly right

If you want to enable recovery, you should give ownership of things to smart contracts, which enable things like succession rules and a heatbeat checkin etc.

This could replace oracles in some cryptocurrency systems. E.g. a betting market could pay out based on a game winner verified directly from the league's website.
Awesome, thank you! Once Manifest v3 is officially live, I'll probably end up ditching Chrome and Google Search altogether.
That looks a little frustrating. I wonder if there is a way around it?
I wouldn't be so sure. Proximate for 5 days in office and 3 days in office might be two different things.
I got an offer from Amazon last year (ended up declining) and the HM at the time talked about how a sizable portion of the team were commuting extreme distances to work there (including by plane) on the pretense that they only had to be in office 3 days a week.

Doesn’t this sound like tribal, us-versus-them, reductive explanation for the behavior of those you disagree with?
To support that 1:10000 transaction that takes
the most time and needs the most scaling?

Done in the most naive way possible (just adding more servers to one giant pool) yes, it's as ineffective as you say.

What can be effective is segregating resources so that your 1:10000 transaction is isolated so that it doesn't drag down everything else.

Imagine:

- requests to api.foo.com go to one group of servers

- requests to api.foo.com/reports/ go to another group of servers, because those are the 99th percentile requests

They're both running the same monolith code. But at least slow requests to api.foo.com/reports can't starve out api.foo.com which handles logins and stuff.

Now, this doesn't work if e.g. those calls to api.foo.com/reports are creating, say, a bunch of database contention that slows things down for api.foo.com anyway up at the app level due to deadlocks or whatever.

There are various inefficiences here (every server instance gets the whole fat pig monolith deployed to it, even if it's using only a tiny chunk of it) but also potentially various large efficiencies. And it is generally 1000x less work than decomposing a monolith.

Not a magic solution, just one to consider.
You can't get 1 gold piece = 10 silver piece without a consistent monetary scheme. That was in OD&D at https://archive.org/details/monsters_and_treasures/page/39/m... .

Even in the US, "free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1" worked - at least somewhat - by government fiat, not commodity value. (Great, I've now got the urge to write "Gresham's Law" while I flash back to high school history class.)

https://archive.org/details/dndbook1/page/15/mode/2up?q=gold tell us that in D&D a copper, silver, or gold coin weighs 1 unit.

Further, 1 silver piece = 5 copper pieces, making the D&D economic system not just bimetallism but trimetallism.
It is definitely interesting that Scientific American takes a stance.

And I would say 99% of it is worse than the goofy YouTube stuff. Reality TV is mostly people hooking up and pretending to fall in love.
I think it might be a bit of a post-scarcity thing. A bit like how we don't cope well with the easy availability of lots of macronutrient-dense foods that exists in many developing nations, and our physical health may be suffering for it.

Similarly, once upon a time people needed to work whenever work was available so that they could secure the resources they'd need for times when it wasn't. That may still be the case in some industries. But in tech it's not like that. If anything it's the opposite. Extra work tends to just create even more extra work, which won't necessarily be compensated because you're salaried. Sure, you might get a raise or promotion, but that's not guaranteed. The reward mechanism uses gachapon mechanics. Which works out great for the company's owners in exactly the same way that loot crates are more profitable than more honest forms of game design. Whenever I see people sharing anecdotes of that one acquaintance of theirs who was a tech workaholic and was handsomely rewarded for all that extra work, it puts me in mind of a billboard for my state's lottery that says, "Only players win." Or the motivational dreck that MLM companies like Herbalife feed to their members. People seem to have trouble recognizing a scam when there are some token people for whom it actually worked out well.

And no, it's not healthy. The High Price of Materialism by Tim Kasser is about 20, 25 years old now, but summarizes a lot of the research on this sort of thing as of that time. Long story short, you get caught up in chasing the dragon.

Maybe not in the end, but he spent significant time, money, and effort in the lead-up to the acquisition. If he never wanted it at all, well, he shouldn't play those games with their board and the public =/

It's that kind of rash (and brash) thoughtlessness that seem to characterize his recent decision-making, in stark contrast to my former hero who built an entire freaking space fleet from scratch... so sad, too bad... power corrupts and all that, I guess.
Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs? Do that many people even work on AI development? And why does OpenAI burn so much money? Maybe they'll have to stop offering their compute time at a discount, but generative AI is doing useful work and will never go away. There are many companies using it to productive ends and there will be demand for programmers to integrate generative AI in business processes.
At my office it did. We used system when we networked the office. I kinda think it didn’t really come out until 92 but release windows lasted years.
I'm not sure how comparing a mobile OS like iOS to a linux box is useful. iOS can kill background apps from memory outside the app developers control.
It's especially frustrating since you always stumble upon it when you have something else in mind, this your flow is broken to re-confirm something you did a month ago.

how exactly was Apple able to preannounce approval for this before the, yknow, approval?

like exactly no other agencies work this way, precommiting them to a decision they havent formally taken, even if informally it was already taken they would frown very strongly on leaking their stuff

How I understood that was that for example you sell shoe laces and want to give discounts to people who bought sneakers of brand x - but you don’t have any relation to the shoe seller. So receipt in pdf can be faked and they provide a solution so that buyer can prove they bought x and can claim your discount.

But still rather contrived.
My company did a survey on this. Comparing 2021 to 2023, WFH had 15-20% more supporters than WFO, as per last year's results. They simply ignored this statistic and mandated a return to office anyways.

98% of the people responded negatively to the change in our remote work flexibility when we heard about it. Higher management continues to ignore that 98% of its productive workforce is not happy and the good engineers WILL leave the company.
Not really. It's the most VISIBLE playing style, because it make for an entertaining live play, so naturally that's what the videos on YouTube lean towards.

But at an everyday table, it's generally not expected. Some players will prefer that type of DM (just as some players prefer combat heavy or dungeon delve heavy campaigns), but I've never had anyone say to me "Why aren't you doing voices? DMs are supposed to do voices!"
This idea needs to die.

Gone are the days when you can start the next google in your garage. You need capital to compete.
That was before Twitter? Wow, it all just kinda blurs together now, one crazy thing after the other...
they had a 3 days a week in office policy, that should be sufficient to catch the people you are talking abut
Drive-By Active Storage Advice
The Mac didn’t have a CLI in the first 16 years or so, so there’s no traditional “execute” meaning for the Enter key. I’d argue that the thought here was that by pressing that key, you’d want to enter a new name for the selected file.
That sounds like a management problem to me. If they can't tell that someone's output is that low, then clearly they need to switch their goals for what they consider "productive."
> Managers and executives felt a tiny bit less powerful for a small amount of time due to their workers pushing for remote and having the leverage to do so.

I have a contrarian view on this. People will be efficient remotely and the management can use result-oriented performance management only when the talent density is high. Unfortunately high talent density is the luxury that Amazon does not have. Amazon has hundreds of thousands of employees after all. Otherwise, Amazon's culture should be uniquely suitable to WFH. Case in point, many teams are already distributed across multiple time zones; Amazon rely heavily on writeups and asynchronous commenting; and Amazon discourage discussions with more than a handful of people.
Who cares about how many hours of work they are putting in. As long as tasks are getting done on time, it shouldn't matter what I am doing with my "hours".
...and people suddenly realize things don't have to work that way?
That is true. I'm not sure why iOS doesn't do that while macOS does. Maybe mobile storage isn't performant enough? At least when iOS was originally developed.
It would have been better if the author had used the flow diagram from the original waterfall paper that showed the backflows.

> Scaling a monolith is almost always cheaper
than migrating to microservices and scaling that.

No - it depends on capacity needs and current
architecture.

It does depend, but a monolith of any nontrivial size is going to require hundreds if not many thousands of hours of engineer time. That's a lot of money right there. IME often the experience comes down to something like $250K of engineer time vs. maybe $2K/month of server capacity.

Again, though: it does depend.
False equivalence. The issue you describe is an issue of setting goals and measuring output.
If you can get your work done in only a few hours and you are not marked as a low performer and fired something horribly wrong with your job expectations and your management.
That's fair, and well said!
I disagree, it's great practice and starting early in a career will only pay dividends later on. It requires the desire to actually want to participate and contribute professionally and not just hide behind a keyboard all day. I get that some people just want to hide behind a keyboard all day- fine. These people often complain the most later on... in my experience.
If you’re working out every single day, probably not. But it should absolutely be plenty to get you through a day and then you can top it off for another 10-15 mins before bed. It’ll even give you an alert informing you it needs charging to make it through the night at the appropriate time before your configured “wind down” period so you can charge right before bed.

Lower states of charge will charge faster, so 2 smaller charging sessions would result in less total time spent charging, actually.
> The actual adventure was mostly determined by the setting (often premade)

Hmm. I disagree. Greyhawk and Blackmoor were published fairly early in D&D's history, but the majority of games falling into premade settings didn't really take off until Dragonlance and then the Forgotten Realms in the mid to late 80s.

It's true that DM responsibilities have changed over time - in a way that I am not particularly a fan of - but I think it's the farthest thing from the truth to suggest that DMs weren't supposed to do worldbuilding in the days of OD&D and AD&D 1E/BECMI. If anything, they had to do more - the DM's job was to create a believable living world for the players to exist in. There were very few published "campaigns" back in those days - Dragonlance is really what changed all of this - so most modules were locales you could more or less plop down wherever. Keep on the Borderlands just needed to be in a borderland, the Caverns of Thracia could be anywhere, etc.

Players being fully in control of what their goals were and where the narrative was to head meant that the GM had to build a convincing and interesting world for the players to adventure around. It was quite rare for there to be something akin to a "big bad evil guy" in the early days of D&D, or even for there to be some overarching plot to drive the whole campaign.

> In modern D&D, by contrast, the DM is often expected to do worldbuilding, write adventures, and do NPC voices.

I'm fairly certain the overwhelming majority of D&D played these days happens with the published modules. There's a lot more people playing so I'm sure the absolute number of people writing their own adventures is higher than ever, but I would be willing to wager that the ratio of people running almost exclusively published modules and campaigns vs. their self-written adventures has shifted in the opposite direction.
It's funny how people can clearly see what Trump is, and yet argue on an abstract level as if he was just like any other candidate. Staying neutral now could mean fighting an endless uphill battle later on when science and intellectuals are attacked for stating studied facts, and nonsense is served from the highest office.
The brain drain will continue until the stock price improves, I guess.
> It's harder to catch those folks...

I don't understand this; if they aren't producing what's expected of them, that's noticeable, and a problem. If they are producing what's expected of them, that's good, and what's it matter what they're doing with their time?

For the first time in my career I feel able to actually perform to the expectations set for me as remote staff. I don't have to invent busy work to do while I'm waiting on another team, I can just go do laundry.

If management doesn't have faith that their team's output is what it "should be" that's a separate problem from being in-office.
I meant more the drag to snap, but good point!

Not sure if MacOS has had that in the past though...
