Bumping and interacting for helpfulness sake. Not sure if this forum works like that but still trying. (Edit: After reading the forums rules, it does appear the original post and this response are riding the guidelines.... So be it....)

Good luck. Sadly I am in a similar situation otherwise would gladly take you up on your very reasonable and by no means unethical or embarrassing post. With a humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with asking for help, even when others tell you there is, even when it is against the rules. This is especially the case if it is done with humility and genuine need, as you seem to have clearly indicated. Even though it is unclear to the writer of this post how all posts will be responded to, yours and others, by other patrons in this message board, at least know this.... You have someone out here at least rooting for you. Good luck. You got this homie.

Exactly what problem does this solve?

Creating an invoice is very easy. You can more or less reuse another invoice and replicate it in Word or Excel, just replacing the information with your own and your customers.

The added value would come from integration with bookkeeping, but I see nothing about that in the linked page.
And if it got refunded if not getting the job.

.CH and .LI should be the first pick if you're buying in long term. .COM etc. are Verisign Corp (essentially US Gov) names and you're screwed if there's a global conflict down the line and want to be treated neutrally. I'm not tying myself to the future Montenegrin (.ME) administration or god forbid some fly-by-night meme gTLD run out of Hong Kong that goes bankrupt in two years and defaults on their ICANN payments, getting wiped from the root zone.
I almost laughed. It's been years.
Speaking for the regions they compete in, Lidl and Aldi have marched down the "cutting margins to the bone"-learning curve for several decades now. It's... not great for their suppliers.

But it is pretty great for their customers, and for their direct employees (for which I respect them a lot).
The point of tipping is that it's _supposed to_ go straight to the servers, while normal charges go the owners who then share them with their employees as they see fit.

Assuming this is true, and tips are not actually taken by the owners, there are two interpretations of this:

1) customer pays more than what their lunch or dinner actually costs, to intentionally signal that there was something special about it (good service,...), or

2) customer pays more than what their lunch or dinner actually costs, because they know employees are underpaid and they want to compensate for that. It's essentially a form of charity.

While I have nothing against charity, charity that is "institutionalized" (big word, I know) by the employees (a tip jar) and very strongly encouraged does seem like a nice way for employers to justify a lower pay. And even if that is not the actual reason why tips exist, an employer who knows most of its customers tip can use this to pay less its employees.
Thank you. I did not know that the first cosmic generation of stars had a higher Eddington limit. Why does light interact differently with hydrogen and helium than it does with the other elements? Does it have anything to do with having only a single layer of electrons in the atom?

The evolution of a structural code editor
I do imagine:

1. postgres would have a sane default pg_hba disallowing remote superuser access.

2. postgres would not be running as root.

3. postgres would not have a default superuser password, as it uses peer authentication by default.

4. If ran on a redhat-derived distro, postgres would be a subject to selinux restrictions.

And yes, all of these can be circumvented by an incompetent admin.
Yes, a famous game done in Love2D, providing that it is the gameplay and not the programming language that sells a game.

However it isn't on the same league as the studios that care about shipping games in C, C++ and Assembly as main development tools.

Right now, other than Bevy existing efforts, and absent of regulations that force those studios to adopt Rust, there aren't many reasons on the market for those studios to change their tooling.

As small history lesson, it was the success of games like Quake that finally settled using C and C++ for game development, after they started to enjoy some love in the demoscene.

C on game consoles, followed by C++, only started to be a thing after the PlayStation, the first games console to ship a C SDK instead of having only Assembly based tooling. Also Yaroze only had C support.

C++ joined the party via the PlayStation 2 SDK.

C# was used for the first time successfuly on Arena Wars[0] back in 2004, with the studio doing their own OpenGL bindings.

It took Managed DirectX, followed by XNA and XBox Creative Arcade, MonoGame, Unity adopting MonoGame for their crossplatform rewrite (they were originally Mac OS only), lots of money to bring it to game consoles, for .NET based tooling for finally starting to be relevant as well.

Before Unity took over, it was already being used as alternative to create game tooling based on C++ and MFC.

Java never had much luck, because Sun understood game development even worse than desktop development, so the JavaGamming initiative went nowhere, even though there were nice engines like jMonkeyEngine, JOGL and LWGL.

There was LibGDX for a while, but the RoboVM acquisition from Xamarin, only to be shortly acquired by Microsoft thereafter, kind of killed what it had going for it.

Still, it is unavoidable on Minecraft, where Bedrock version isn't nowhere the mod community size as the Java one, and Android casual games. Also Android non-casual games do require some level of Java/Kotlin code, given that only rendering and audio is exposed on the NDK.

Note that despite all the Rust adoption talk by Android team, there are no plans for official Rust support on the Android NDK, and Kotlin Native might even get there first, still looking forward when this might change.

Cool, but you could add units of measure at least to the y-axis?

We get the general trend, but we don't know if that peak is 10%, 20%, 100% or something else.
release all your sources of current (dark) and planned income and we might believe that's relevant.

the company knows how much (interactional) data it is collecting and how it will monetize on that in the future or rather, how fucking good their product will become once it's hardware needs match adequate enough capacities to be run privately.

I'd go pro again and pay 50 bucks per month if I could trust the company. BUT THERE IS NO WAY
And that's fine I think, it's why a lot of companies are using one or more of the agile methodologies. But if that's combined with OKRs then said OKRs need to be adjusted, and it'll be down to the manager to pay that cost.

We use SAFe at my current job (please don't look at the website, if you thought the "scrum" infographic was too big already lol); we set quarterly goals and objectives, usually don't meet them because Reasons, but if there is an incident or change that warrants changing those goals it's a Big Thing and we basically redo the planning sessions (two days or so); it's a big disruption and it's costly so it's not done lightly. We've only done that once in the past two and a half years or so.
They weren't always valueless. That's the reason.
1. The field got oversaturated. Everyone signed up for coding classes, not everyone has graduated from coding classes.

2. Lack of information transparency: everyone involved has huge incentives to lie, so it's extremely difficult for a company to say "we are a good company wanting to hire a good dev" and someone to respond "I am a good dev looking for a good job". Same problem as dating.

3. Moving jobs to cheaper countries: the flipside of work-from-home is having companies realize that they don't need to have butts in chairs is San Francisco, they can have butts in chairs in India, 75% of performance for half the price.

This is probably going to be the new normal until:

1. The IT education scales down and juniors give up, so that there's less competition.

2. Someone comes up with a interviewing process that is significantly more difficult to game.

3. The society at large switches back from "just essentials only" to "one bag of glitter poop please" so that lots of silly businesses can stay afloat, at least for some time.
Not exactly this but https://search.marginalia.nu/ will probably return sites that match these criteria

Those are implementation details that they need not to care about. Password hashing is about mitigating the consequences of you the account provider screwing up. I know, technology and finance are special, in that the more a service provider fucks up, the more it is your fault somehow (see: "identity theft") - but most people didn't get that memo.

Delighted to see Greenplum mentioned in this article, also equally pleased to see Apache Cloudberry mentioned in the comments. Greenplum has been open-source for nearly a decade, forming a fairly mature global open-source ecosystem, with many core developers distributed around the world ( they were not necessarily hired by Pivotal/VMware/Broadcom). Greenplum forked as Cloudberry wasn't to outdo Greenplum Database, but to foster a more neutral and open community around an MPP database with a substantial global following. To that end, the project was donated to the Apache Software Foundation following Greenplum's decision to close source. Since the project is in its early stages within the Apache incubator, our immediate goal is to build a solid foundation that adheres to Apache standards. Instead of introducing extensive new features, we are concentrating on developing a stable and compatible open-source alternative to Greenplum.

If one divides weight of the airplane by the number of wheels it has, one would find one wheel carries around 10 times more weight than that of a truck. You even get a slightly better deal on landing when you don't have as much fuel.

That's a lot of weight but nothing crazy, so on a dry runway wheel brakes alone are more than enough to stop normally. They would also wear out a lot, overheat and occasionally ignite if used like that, so that's what thrust reversers are for.
On IPhone (ios 18) it works perfectly. What are you using?

All anti-spam systems have false positives (some less, some more). Unusual things like an uncommon TLD make it more likely that you’ll be affected by an FP (and less likely that someone else would report it). You don’t need to stick to .com but I would avoid a TLD which has a low volume of legitimate emails.
A transliteration or transcription scheme that uses <ch> for [tʃ] and similar sounds and <j> for [dʒ] is obviously influenced by English habits, yes. Doesn't mean the same scheme can not use <u> for [u]...[ɯ] and <e> for [ɛ], though.
It says ”input” right there in the classname. @apply might be the only sane way to use Tailwind, but it seems like a post-hoc mixin construct, and definitely has the same level of indirection of styles that you claim is an issue with classnames.

Strange you would be worried about accidental overrides with class selectors but then go ahead to target styles with tag selectors. Is that not objectively worse?

Btw, targeting input[type=”text”] means now you cannot apply those styles to a regular <span> or <div> using a class, which is sometimes useful, especially in very large projects.

I am still not at all convinced Tailwind is even slightly useful. It feels like shoehorning HTML4 <color>, <font> etc. into HTML5 classes.

All in all, your arguments come off as ad hoc rationalizations for a personal preference, not as substantial examples of Tailwind’s superiority over more traditional CSS approaches.

It allows users to create invoices fast and without having to pay a monthly bill.

Im a freelancer myself, and some of my friends had this problem too, so i made it into a product.

While you can edit a template on Word and create invoices, it does not remember your company information, payment details, and you don't have an overview of all of your invoices, customers etc. Not to be rude, but that's like saying "Why would i use Uber when i can just pick up my phone and call a cab" - convenience, cheaper, faster.

I think a lot of business owners and freelancers would like a tool where they dont have a monthly bill. A tool that is easy to use etc.

With that said, i do see your point and trust me, i dont plan to stop here. This is just the beginning. Thank you so much for your input.
I think the mention of Luddism is a nice tell. From Wikipedia:

I think the push for AI is the modern-day equivalent for software development - to move making programs from being labour intensive to being capital intensive. There are some of us who don't see it as a good thing.

As for my personal perspective - I view AI as the over-confident senior "salesman" programmer - it has no model for what sort of things it cannot do yet when it attempts anything it requires a lot of prompting to get somewhere which looks passable. My values for developing software is reliability and quality - which I had hoped we were going to achieve by further exploring advanced type systems (including effect systems), static analysis, model checkers, etc. Instead the "market" prioritises short-term garbage creation to push sales until the next quarterly cycle. I don't have much excitement for that.
I would be more nuanced on this matter. As I understand, in the US, fair use allows media to write critiques of cultural artefacts (sorry, I cannot think of a better, broad term). For example, you can include small quotes from the film script when writing a critique of it without requiring permission from the owner of the copyright. And, until the World Wide Web arrived to the masses in the mid-1990s, most critiques were published by commercial media outlets, such as a daily newspaper. They were certainly published by commercial, for-profit entities. That said, I think the intent of the fair use is very important to the courts, much more than the entity that is doing the fair use (newspaper, blogger, etc.).

Another weird carve-out for copyright law in the US: parody. Honestly, I don't know if other jurisdictions allow parody in the same protected manner.

Duh, obviously I want "shipping the roadmap" in the OKRs. OKRs should capture everything you plan to do, otherwise what's the point? Obviously I don't want the whole roadmap, just the part we commited to. You probably also don't want only the roadmap, for obvious reasons.

There's never enough time to do everything that's planned or necessary and OKRs should be the tool that lets you resolve the conflicts. Ship feature X or fix the infrastructure? "X is in OKRs, let's work on X". "X is not in OKRs and we have KR to get Y% success on autodeployments, let's fix infra".

What I definitely don't want is "do OKRs and also do roadmap". The only things that should not be in the OKRs are ones where prioritization is trivial (like "fix critical outages").
In the context of the comment I replied to above:

> Militias in Brazil will be paid in secret by the government to fight drug traffickers and vice versa.

these "militias" in Brazil are not militias by your criteria.

From my PoV the described activities carried out by paramilitary groups in Brazil are similar to the activities carried out by US PMC's, and there's as much of that kind of work available to US contractors as there is for Brazilian operatives.
It really depends on the environment I suppose. Caffeine is a stimulant so it’s common for ADHD bearers to self-medicate in it (my former associate, later diagnosed, used to drink full - 300ml - of espresso brewed coffee in the morning).

Sodas in my personal opinion is a different issue. While sugar content is no longer linked to ADHD symptoms it pushes out nutrients - and Omega-3 acids, proteins etc. have positive effect.

I have made a personal “experiment on a child”. Ensuring at least single egg or a single sausage is eaten during the breakfast (i.e. approx. 5-10 grams of proteins) decreased number of fights at school started by friend’s son (previously breakfasts were primarily carbs).

It’s possible to manage ADHD with small changes, that’s why education is the most important.
It depends. In some tall shared buildings (the sort of place a company might rent a single floor because owning a building is eye-wateringly expensive and unnecessary) the elevators are intelligent and hooked to gate ID, so, if somebody arrives at the gate with an ID for floor 12, the next available elevator picks floor 12 and opens its doors. After all you're not allowed on the other floors so it's pretty obvious where you're going.
Every right depends on someone else labor to some extend. Worst argument ever.

The reality of OKRs (or Rockefeller Habits or any other company wide framework for establishing priorities and goals,) is that by going through the exercise of trying to create them across the company, you often discover that there are meaningful disconnects in how teams are prioritizing work or how teams function vs how other stakeholders in the company believe those teams are operating. The real value comes from diving deeper into understanding those things. However, companies often view those as annoyances and find a way to plow the goals through while completely missing that learning opportunity.
