Cloudflare Pages is free + their serverless offering is decent free limits

Firebase

https://userbase.com/ - great free tier

I approached VCs that already invested into the company and they were willing to buy from me.

I’m on the same page with you. Only recently I realized how coding is a lot more like writing and coders are just as different in their skills as writers. Replacing good coder is more comparable to replacing a good screen writer and less comparable to replacing a construction worker.

Find set of tools that you like and start with very simple project then keep adding features to it.

I still build out prototypes using www.meteor.com

Firebase is good for that too

Back in 2015, I was on the bus crossing Bay Bridge and one my team mates said out site is down. AWS had major issues with infrastructure. I logged in to Modulus on my phone and took down all containers in AWS and brought them up on GCP. Our web app was back and running within a minute. It was intuitive, cheap, and cross cloud providers out of the box. I still can’t find anything close to that.

The Black Art of Video Game Console Design

The book is super accessible and has more practical value than bachelor in computer engineering while you build and code a game console

thanks for the correction

Many medicines have multiple uses that are not at all related. For example, Botox is used for stretching old skin to look nice but also used to treat migraines. Ketamine is horse tranquilizer but is also used to treat depression, etc

If you had to do hard physical labor every day from dawn to dusk and then deal with family of probably 5+ children, do you really want to spend your limited free time working on improving anything?

You need free time to come up with it

You don’t have to. It’s a choice. My doubts about it not existing came after I realized it’s not clear where to draw a clear boundaries for an organism. For example, each neuron in our brain can be considered it’s own organism but it’s part of our body and from our perspective we are in control of it. If we apply this to ourselves then maybe we ourselves are just a neuron in a bigger living “brain”.

First time I got Covid in January. It was bad. Not as bad as a bad case of strep though. Nothing helped headaches and body aches were painful.

I just got Covid again. Double vaxxed with Phizer. It’s pretty mild right now like a light case of cold. Nothing compared to January.

It seems like it’s going to keep evolving like any other virus of the family. Everyone is going to get it eventually. Hopefully it will evolve to be more and more mild(it’s goal is to survive the longest and not to eradicate us). What really surprised me with omicron is that stats show that natural immunity is not as good as the vaccines(Moderna and Phizer) so make sure you are vaccinated.

I literally discovered this site couple of hours ago form reading article that criticizes this approach lol https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-...

Coding practices are hard and team specific. 60 people company is small enough where things change fast so if you make "coding practices" too tight and restrictive then some people will be unhappy and unproductive. Good start:

- have linter to check for basic mistakes and perform code formatting

- do some testing (integration tests are good because most problems happen between modules and not within modules). Code coverage is a divisive topic but I personally find it useful to understand what parts of software are not well tested.

- Build/deployment dashboards for everyone to see. If you break the build your name is shown as a shame factor etc. Many years ago when I was young and dumb and at a startup, you had to take a shot and run a mile if you break the build. Worked wonders to keep things stable.

- establish some code review culture. As company grows you'll probably eventually need to pass some compliance requirements. Those usually require you to code review anything that goes to production. So you can't go wrong with: each merge to master needs to be reviewed by someone. It's a bit annoying for a small company but will pay off in the future. If you don't want to go that far then at least identify critical files in the code and require any changes to them to be reviewed.

What separates good lead/manager from bad one is caring. By posting this question you already show that you care, which means you are on the path to becoming good lead/manager :)

> Nobody is asking that. The source code is public, read it and decide for yourself. Good luck doing that at your local bank. There are plenty of stablecoins, you don't have to take on crypto exposure.

Most people are not advanced coders and will never be. So most people still have to trust a random coder (be it close friend or someone on the news or online). If something happens to your money because someone took advantage of you in the code then good luck getting anything back. At least with banks there are laws around this stuff and you can actually get your money back. For average person this is still the way to go.

Alibaba recently announced new CPU they developed based on ARM: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/alibaba-unveils-128-core-s...

you are right, only trafficking and import/export is punishable by death with following exceptions listed on the government site: https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/MDA1973?ProvIds=P1III-#pr33B-

I bet a lot of drug offenders were framed. If someone wants to get rid of someone else they no longer need to commit homicide or whatever, they just need to plant a bunch of drugs and get them caught. It’s even simpler actually, you just need to spike their drink or food with something because in Singapore you don’t need to possess drugs to be prisoned, if your blood tests positive for drugs then you can get death penalty.

I’m the same way. I pretty much never have dreams unless I take some supplement like melatonin or valerian and even then it’s hit or miss. While I’m awake I also can’t picture things clearly(without any meaningful details) in my mind. Maybe that’s related.

None of that makes any sense. Code that handles emergency calls must be handled separately from anything else. Third party apps should not be able to affect it in any way. This just shows how reckless Android development is.

Chlorophyll has magnesium ion, not copper. See below link for reference. But there are chlorophylls that have copper ion so you have to be careful which greens you eat if you want copper to be present.

It’s on this community right here to make these things as easy and accessible as possible for everyone to use.

Yes there are some rules. But for the majority of people if someone takes advantage of you, with algorithm or socially, then there is no way to punish them. You have to be careful. You can solve this by educating people to be cognizant of risks but who will do that? Where is the incentive? If you are big enough in any game the rules are different. Think of Etherium DAO when it got hacked they decided not to play in the original network and fork it and play a different game.

To play fair we need some rules to the game. You can’t punch in a face during the basketball game and once someone starts doing it all the time then most would stop playing at that point and go play another game.

I think unregulated in this case means crypto market in general is prone to pump and dump schemes and other market manipulation without legal repercussions

Thanks for following up :)

Back when I was in high school I learned all leetcode algorithms from doing programming competitions. One of the books I used was: http://acm.cs.buap.mx/downloads/Programming_Challenges.pdf

What really put me to the next level is this amazing free training program which I still recommend anyone who wants to nail the interviews. It teaches each algorithm and data structure and gives you appropriate challenging exercises so you really understand them: https://train.usaco.org/

There is little spiritual or foolish in this. When you solve a problem in a creative way, be it a cool application of an algorithm, a feature, a product, a clever bug fix, a clever marketing campaign, new way to raise money, etc, you get rewarded.
