what does astro simplify?

You still have to learn the "ins-and-outs" of Payload also for this to work so what's your point? Based on my experience with npm based projects, I bet you x,xxx dollars that even an npm install will start vomiting 3 months after you finished your project. This ecosystem is cancer and I blame designers trying to do programming work because...it's javascript, what can go wrong? Everything seems like a complete hack in this space. Tools are built based on unicorns and rainbows and not logic, maintenance and backwards compatibility.

Do a project now and come back 3 months later and update it to latest versions to see what happens. Compare that with a Django app + django admin afterwards.

Congrats on the launch. Always wanted something like this to be able to build a more opinionated CMS on top of it for all my projects. My first try was Qards (https://www.qards.io/) but the npm, exhaustingly breaking changes from js libraries + the painful experience I've had dealing with & integrating Netlify CMS into it just left me dry by the time I've actually launched. Was a cool project though and I'm thinking of reviving it one day, maybe with Payload.

Because I'm so "so smart, intelligent and clever" and the alternative is unknown to me. Simple 1+1

Flutter desktop? Anyone tried it?

Tried it. Didn't find anything interesting there except for a graph telling me what genres I am listening and many songs that are in my playlist.

do you have to load third party scripts with replicache?

I need quite the opposite

None of which are hybrids.

full of false positives - nothing special here, my 2c

I would not place it by revenue but by amount of customers served

100% on that but the measures proposed seems riskier on the long run than just continuing

so they go from 221M down to 220M and that's enough to push ads?

having a blast doing carting with mine, 11 as well

Next killer feature: preferred pronouns on profile. /s

Unless the app claims it defends my privacy which is the only selling point many of these apps hold over Whatsapp for example.

Rust folks, as do vegans, put the "Rust" in the title straight away.

I love people complaining about stuff that they did not pay for. That thread is full of it. You can just buy a fridge without those options you know? A dumb fridge, dumb whatever - they are out there.

I manage about 200 servers and docker crashing accounts for 20%+ of my issues so far. The servers are brought up easily on crash and that's not an issue for my services. For a database docker is nothing more than an extra layer of complications on top with iptables, volume system and all the layers it brings. It's just a bad wrapper for a production database which needs stability.

Not everyone can manage a database properly and, sorry to say this to you but, Docker is a terrible idea for a database in general. Setting up your own database somewhere still puts your trivial data on someone else's server more or less.

All these "Serverless" keywords pretty much mean you don't have to be spinning up servers (cloud) or setting up & maintaining one. Nothing is "Serverless" per-se so it's time to move on from picking on this, I agree, bad choice of words.

I pay 258 euro/mo at Hetzner where I paid about $2000/mo at gcloud for databases and Kubernetes. I did the switch 3 years ago which means my business saved about $61k during this time period.

in these 258 euros I have 4 dedicated servers that never went down so far. One of the 4 is only for the database while the other 3 are for kubernetes which is managed and deployed using Rancher. Out of the 3, my cpu usage is 4 out of 28 so plenty of room to grow as everything is on overkill.

I do daily backups of the database and upload them to an S3. I know this is not the perfect solution but, for a company that small (mine is similar) $61k are not something to be ignored. I used that money on Adwords which brings much more value than spending huge amounts on something which rarely "shines" for my use case. In fact, I had more downtime in the cloud than I had with Hetzner - mostly because they perform updates (to kubernetes, to database engine etc) or they simply have outages.

Everything is subjective.

and have your windows smashed daily. You underestimate the power of propaganda and how people think in Russia in regards to this war.

It is, I play it on and off since 2006 [1] (don't laugh at that username, was done as a joke by a friend to get me into the game). You can do A LOT of things and pretty much NOTHING 80% of the time. It really feels like a permanent grind/work type of thing that's why I take such huge breaks from it.

The community is the real deal. It can be awesome or real shitty, just like at work :)). It features great politics, economy, social structures and everything above and beyond to make it, for me, the best game I ever played.

And what's your next move once you explained that and still find them "escaping" for hours in these meaningless apps? Do you have children? How many being teenagers?

Can you explain in a "soft kind manner" to an addict that they should just quit? You can fight it pro-actively or re-actively. I prefer the former as, at least, prevents the addiction from even forming.

Please identify a smoker in your close circle and explain in a "soft manner" to them how that thing causes cancer, lowers life expectancy, increases heart rate and all the jazz that we are sure of - scary stuff. Report back if they quit.

I cannot be in total control and I do NOT want that but, at least, I'm not putting cigarettes on the table myself because that's what this is.

> not by trying to put the fault on them or dodging the issue by finding excuses

The issue is being taken care of don't worry, no excuses, straight from the root.

> the reason they are finding an escape through them and not thought you is because you are hostile to the way they communicate with their friends

I am not. She has whatsapp, youtube, meets, games and a healthy digital presence with her friends and colleagues. I just weed out crap that she is not prepared for, the addictive one.

I do not find here prepared, at 10 years of age, to deal with crap like likes, followers, reactions, views or other meaningless measurements that put thousands into mental hospitals.

I'm happily willing to show you a multitude of heroin/cocaine/meth/[insert other drug here] which were very well educated, schooled and taken care of - stop putting education that high. Addiction is not an escape. There are many forms an "escape" can take and TikTok is not one that I'm willing to accept because it creates addiction, one that is intelligently designed to eat her free time WHOLE so no, I will not take your advice on it. She can "escape" with a bike, with friends outside, with her dogs, with her drawings, dressing, swimming, snowboarding or many other healthy things she was taught to.

Ofc it is plummeting. We are letting them install apps that have people behind them with the sole job of making them more addictive. We are handing them drugs, multiple variants if I may say so. I had to fight with my daughter for TikTok and whatnot, she is only allowed with YouTube due to school/tutorials/classes etc and I still find myself pretty often having to snap her out of shorts and other bs with an algorithm behind it designed to keep you on and ...consuming.

These are modern drugs my friends and we are not doing anything about it. Our kids are being milked of their time, attention, imagination, focus and money. The majority of them can't even cross the streets properly any more. They don't even look if the drivers saw them, they all have a phone in hand.

Funding scares me. It bring sharks onboard who do not share the same vision. They will demand revenue and ROI above all else. I like Tailscale but I hate this business model down to the core (Netlify as an example). Tailscale was doing fine as it was, capable people there already. It quickly became an "exit type of business", too quickly.

These companies usually bring something really easy to use, let people onboard and modify their network/DNS/etc to hell until they get vendor stuck and then they squeeze every possible dollar out of their pockets. Once you're in, after days or weeks of fine tuning, after you managed to pollute your codebase with their configs and IP addresses, it's hard to get out.

I suspect those "free slots" will change soon ,but we won't see those types of graphs anywhere soon and be prepared to get charged for bandwidth and everything else possible.

One quick question as a TLDR: did he write about Rust being better?
